Wayfinder MKE

This place has a good rating overall so maybe it was just an off night. Food overall was good and the staff were very nice. They did have a good selection of gluten free and vegetarian options and it was all very clearly marked. When we first got there we went in through the back and were told we weren't in the right place so we moved to the host stand at the front. It took a really long time for someone to come over. We had to ask for waters and couple times. We heard this place was good option for gluten free, and were excited because a friend needs gluten free for medical reasons. Usually when it's mentioned to staff they highlight items or be sure to keep plates separate, etc. Our server just looked at her and said "ok?...". My friend asked if they could mark that she's GF for

The Wayfinder was everything and more! From the moment we walked in, the energy, the décor, and the staff made it such a vibe. Joan and Mike were absolute gems — so warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they’ve created. The space is stunning, cozy yet elevated, and the rooftop felt like stepping right into a little slice of Hawaii 🌺 (you already know that made my heart happy). Let’s talk food — the Dawn’s Cornbread with Honey Butter was to die for 🤤 and the cocktails were perfection. Every detail, from the menu to the music, just flowed. It’s rare to find a place that feels both elevated and down-to-earth, but The Wayfinder nailed it. Whether you’re looking for date night vibes, girls’ night out, or a relaxed dinner with amazing food and drinks, this is the spot. Can’t wait

Had such a good time here this evening! Please do not skip over this amazing happy hour, and restaurant in general. The staff were friendly and laid back, but still attentive! We tried the “Pickle Fries”, “Carne con Elotes”, and also the Bargain Burger. All were great but the ‘Carne’ dish felt especially inventive and more than worth the $9 price tag. In terms of drinks- so many fabulous options. Can speak to the beer (Shout out to the ‘Damn! That’s Good’) their Old Fashioned, as well as the Hard Root Beer. All were very tasty! Excited to try this spot for dinner or another happy hour very soon!!

Fantastic food and service! Had our valentine's day dinner here. So fun to be able to share small plates and try new things. Bang bang shrimp was amazing, large and fresh tasting. Skirt steak in another plate was juicy and so flavorful. Will definitely be back here! Thank you!

Wonderful experience at Wayfinder MKE. We chose the restaurant after hearing about the ox tail, but it's no longer on the menu. Hopefully, they will bring it back! The interior is cool yet cozy. The bang bang shrimp was delicious as was the Tellegio mac n cheese. The steak sandwich and Peking pig were also big hits. The staff is exceptionally warm and friendly.
