2.0 of 5 stars. Tried it once, and never went back because they had the audacity to serve CANNED HORMEL CHILI. This place is overblown hype!

Sad -- Could be Great, except...

...for the smoking. Milwaukee persists is allowing smoking in restaurants. As a result, there is no reason to eat out anywhere, since you can't taste your food and you risk your health be going in the door....
