Reviews of Odd Duck
Ashley Langford
This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. They are constantly updating their menu with delicious, creative dishes. They have great cocktails, too. I always learn a lot from eating and drinking here because they use a lot of unusual ingredients in unique ways. I always have to Google a lot to find out exactly what I'm eating, it's super fun. 🙂 I've been there so many times and I have never been disappointed by anything I've ordered. They have "Animal" and "Vegetable" sections on the menu so it's easier to choose dishes based on your food preferences.
I've always had good experiences with the staff. They're really knowledgeable about the menus and super friendly. The restaurant has cute and quirky duck-themed decor. They've upped their portion sizes since moving to the 2nd St. location, too, which is a major plus. Be aware that they are only open for dinner.
Eat here!!! You will not be disappointed.

We celebrated a very special evening here. My parents had never met my husband as we met and married in the pandemic. Odd duck was the first place we wanted to bring them when they arrived from Ireland. The staff from front desk to our servers were excited and helped us celebrate wonderfully. The food was just incredible every dish more delicious than the last. Flavors, textures and presentation just spectacular. Can’t wait for our next celebration, our guests are even requesting a second visit before they go home!
Lisandra Degen
Came here last night for dinner for the first time and everything was so delicious! Our waitress was Celestine; everything we got she recommended and we loved! From drinks to dinner to dessert, all of her suggestions were absolutely delicious! We ordered the cheese board for $20, all of the cheeses were so yummy and different. We also got the broccoli salad, papas rellanas, oyster mushrooms and the curry! All so yummy!! I will definitely be coming back, if you live in the Milwaukee area or just visiting this place is definitely a must!
Lee Johnson
I was not expecting to stumble upon this place being in its particular location, but I’m glad I did. Drinks were excellent! The staff and other patrons were jovial and welcoming.
Jordan Hopp
I haven't been to odd duck since they moved, but damn food and service have not suffered, we went for a friend's birthday and I'm pretty sure we order one of everything off the menu for our group of six, the deviled eggs were life changing, and the tuna was out of this world, a friend who doesn't like fish even said she enjoyed it. The staff was amazing we got there just on time and the hostess gave us drink menus and the group at our table was still sitting around and they gave us a round of drinks for free. Just great all around and for all the food we got it was well under 400 which for our group with drinks is unheard of. But well worth it.
Chad Meyers
The best Cheese and Charcuterie board I have ever had, period. Blew me away! Great atmosphere and very attentive staff too. Make sure you visit, and get a reservation in advance.
Amy Esposito
Words will never do this food justice. Simply impeccable, one of the best meals I've ever had. Be prepared to try a few different things, and I would recommend going with people you can share plates with so that you can try as much as you can. Plenty of food for vegetarians or carnivores. Don't forget to leave room for a gorgeous cocktail or elegant dessert.
Alisha Louise
Very good. Some dishes were amazing, others were okay. The moqueca and duck were my favorites, and the tempeh dish was good too. Nothing was bad, just not our personal favorites. We sat at the bar, cuz they were packed. The bartenders were great. We got a variety of drinks and local/craft beers. Good experience. Remember to make a reservation!!
Stacy Hannemann
First time going last night for my birthday dinner and let me start by saying how incredible the food was. The combos were so interesting and everything was a ten. My one word of caution is the dishes don’t scale for anything over 3 people. We had 5 people and found it hard to divvy up some of the dishes so I’d either be prepared to order 12-15 dishes depending on your appetite for a group that size or keep the visit for you and a SO or friend. Service was top notch, atmosphere was great, cocktails were tasty. I can’t state enough that you NEED TO GO.
Uncle Mikey
This is a place that wasn't my choice because I'm not into plate sharing but we had a gift card to spend. I found it to be a fantastic dining experience. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in. The cocktails were nicely prepared. The mushroom dish on the vegetable side should be a mandatory selection for every diner. The polenta in the pork dish could stand alone for its texture and flavor.
Anita Hentges
An outstanding meal with a wide array of choices for the herbivore and the omnivore! The service was great, the pace was casual, and the food was amazing. One of my most memorable meals. My adult son discovered Odd Duck for a trip we were making to Milwaukee. Wow! What a find.
Wesley Miles
Best meal in a long time. Every bit was at least very good, and plenty of excellent dishes. A seafood stew and a sambar/idli dish were my favorite. Be aware that menu is always changing to use local/current ingredients (and that's a great thing.)
Also love the new space. It seems that they successfully greatly expanded their seating without losing food and service quality which is extra hard work current staffing, sourcing, and pricing challenges.
So well done everyone. 👐
Felicia Ramos Kreye
Everything was super delicious. Service was great. The beef was soooo tender, we could cut it with a spoon! My first drink was so delicious and refreshing .(the 83) the second one wasnt my favorite.
Only 4 out of 5 just because it was very pricey, which we knew ahead of time, but still.
Nicholas Moyer
Great food and service. They have a good selection of vegan options and an extensive menu of unique food. I made a reservation for my fiancee's birthday and they even put a small birthday card on the table!
Dane Bauman
One of the best restaurants in Milwaukee! Not over priced and a wonderful and unique menu. The food is outstanding and the staff is equally as amazing. Absolutly one of our favorite spots.
Josephine Tokarev
Coming from Miami,FL, this is probably one of the only restaurants we love in Milwaukee!
We love how intentional they are about food + presentation, wine list, flavors galore & staff. Odd duck has our heart. :)
Emily Anderson
This post is going to have pictures from my last 2 visits. The atmosphere is great. The staff is great. The concept is great. The space is great. The food is great. Odd Duck is Great.
This is possibly my favorite place in Milwaukee. I cannot think of an occasion that I wouldn’t want to celebrate here. They fill up quick on the weekends so get a reservation in early… you can also grab available seats at the bar to eat if you are just dropping in.
Every time I come here I am impressed and they will continue to have my business.
john rakowski
Absolutely some of best food in Milwaukee! They always do magic with short rib, octopus, and their veggie plates. Grab a board and cocktail because they do those right too. And that creme brulee!
Cindy Huston
We absolutely love the quality and care with our meal. Very excited to return.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Love the mushroom dumplings!
Kelby Fritz
Great place for small plates of all types, food was delicious and staff was all very helpful and friendly! Would recommend reservations, even on week nights.
mdnoman haoladar
It is also worth nothing that this is one of the very few restaurants in Milwaukee that require proof of vaccine to go in. We currently do not feel comfortable going to any restaurant that doesn’t require it, so we are especially grateful that the owners of the Odd Duck are being so responsible.
C. Ernest
This is by far one of our consistently favorite restaurants to go to in the Milwaukee area. From hand crafted cocktails to lots of shareable, ever-changing plates of food, Odd Duck really sets the stage for the Milwaukee food scene. We were in Chicago at Girl and the Goat and the wait staff were talking about how much they loved Odd Duck! I love the idea of small "tapas" style plates. We you go they recommend 2-3 plates per person... ha... When we go, it usually ends up being 4-5 plates... it's that good! The menu ranges and changes for seasonal ingredients. The last time we went some of our favorites included calabrese meatballs, morel mushroom toast, ehtiopian injera flat bread, oaxacan hibiscus and queso empanadas, and the peruvian seafood stew! As you can see from the list, a very eclectic range of dishes of different regions and a healthy choice of vegan dishes!
Ricardo Antunez
We got hear around 7 (6/17/18) and ordered the Roasted duck and strawberry angel cake with goat cheese and some strawberry ice cream that was slightly salty in a amazing way! For a drink I ordered the Orange Manhattan Bourbon; we also sat outside as the place was a bit busy. Overall the customer service was great: moved with a purpose, friendly, helpful, and prompt. We were seated quickly and ordered shortly after. My drink was good, however is had way too much ice, by the time I finished it the ice had melted and my drink was watered down. Not worth the $10. The roasted duck was great. This isn’t a place to go looking for a full belly, but after eating I was in a good place. The cherry on top was the desert, I don’t recall the name but I did describe it the best I could. It was perfect, cake was soft and sweet, strawberries were fresh, and the goat cheese paired nicely with the ice cream. Bathrooms were clean too. Overall, probably the best restaurant I visited while in Milwaukee
Raj N
Superb variety of tapas from different cuisines
Scott Cuthbert
The Asian inspired dishes were significantly better than the other dishes. They just were better balanced and more complete dishes. The other dishes were good just not nearly as good. The gochujang octopus was the star for the night!
Eric Gebhardt
Still the BEST restaurant in Milwaukee. Book ahead of time as the seating is limited. Amazing food from all different cultures, the menu is always changing. Try something new and share! The bar and wait staff are highly trained. Great beer and cocktail list from professional bartenders. We recently went again for a pre thanksgiving meal and each time is a true experience. Below was the best take on green bean casserole it was to die for. One of many great dishes. Cheers!
Will H
I was traveling through Milwaukee quickly and wanted to eat something"new".
This place is a really cool laid back place with a great menu if you want fresh, very well composed small plates.
The passion for making good food, drinks and atmosphere were pretty obvious to me. Will go again next time I'm in Milwaukee.
Rose
Probably the most enjoyable night out I have ever had. Delicious food that,changes frequently. The server was awesome and was helpful with the menu. Get the cold noodles if they are serving it. It's a very unique experience.
Ted Tang
Hit or miss on dishes. Worth a visit to experience for the food adventurers. Get the board to experience the cheeses and add a mousse of your liking but be aware they charge you for additional bread and soda refills. Plates are small and prices are expensive. We may return in a year. New location is more spacious.
Anna Fierek
Ate here for the first time this past week. I made a reservation online and there was an option for me to add the dietary restrictions/allergies for any members of our party. I have dairy & egg allergies and when we arrived, the staff had an annotated menu ready for me. They went through each item on the menu and indicated whether or not it was safe for me to eat or whether there were items that could be omitted to make it safe. EXCELLENT customer service. Aside from this, everything we ordered was incredible. We had 3 people in our party and we ordered 4 small plates, one cheese, one meat, and a vegan dessert. We also ordered a few different cocktails. Every food and drink item that we ordered was delicious. I will absolutely be coming back!
Shanna “Banana” Bremer
This place is never disappointing. Had dinner at the bar with a friend. Service was excellent. The drinks here are so freaking good. Get the #27, you won't regret it.
Justine Filapek
So amazingly delicious. I found the prices to be quite high for a small plate establishment and probably won't be back because of this. But if you have more discretionary funds than I have I could see you enjoying this place regularly. The staff is great, the service is awesome, and as I said the food delicious. I am glad I finally got around to trying them.
Ben Holter
I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but couldn't. Nice atmosphere and great drinks couldn't quite donut alone though. The food all sounded great; however, every dish was served with so many different flavors that it all became a bit overloaded.
The whole point of tapas is to order more plates for more flavors; odd duck tried to give you all the flavors in one plate.
For example, the brussel sprouts were only a small portion of the meal, other flavors (like the cheese) completely over powered the meal. Same with the eggplant, too many different flavors and textures.
I'm sure I will try you again odd duck, and I hope it meets all the hype the next time.
Jesse Badger
Food was good and very seasonal. Drinks were unique and tasty. The fiddlehead fern fricassee was probably the best fiddlehead dish I've ever had.
Jacob
Absolutely amazing food and experience. Great staff and atmosphere, definitely a must try in Milwaukee.
Donnie Bogle-Boesiger
Odd Duck is so delicious! So. Delicious. This small plates, international tapas restaurant uses top notch ingredients in creative ways that you may not expect. Their seasonal menu features the freshest ingredients. Oh, and the cocktails are stellar too. Next date night, take your partner to Odd Duck.
Lisa L.
This place kept coming up in our searches for what MKE restaurants we should try and lucky us we got a table. We chose the vegetarian route and WOW - every selection was a winner. Our wait staff was stellar as well. If we lived here this place would be in heavy rotation. Bravo Odd Duck! You are setting a high bar.
Ishan Goradia
Great great great food!!! Tapas style but cuisines from all around the world.
Must visit! Malaysian Nasi Lemak and Beef short rib a must must try
Amazing cocktails too!
Adam Toth
What a wonderful dining experience. There's a reason why multiple friends/coworkers have recommended odd duck to us. Cocktails were unique and tasty. The two dishes that blew us away were the seafood stew and the lamb.
Our waiter Sean was phenomenal, and made the whole night memorable. His recommendations were on point, and we could tell how much pride he had in the restaurant. The cadence of the night was perfect - every dish seemed to come out just as we were finishing the last. The open kitchen was enjoyable to watch- we were a bit awe struck at the quality of food coming out of such a small square footage.
Nicole
Always consistently amazing and I’m always delightfully surprised with the dishes they present to the table. The quality of this restaurant has maintained its excellence and experience time and time again. I’m a foodie and this is a restaurant I will keep coming back to time and time again. The experience from start to finish is superb. I’ve been to the vast majority of Milwaukee’s top restaurants and Odd Duck is always at the top of my list.
Hamid Erfanian
We tried Lamb dish, Sea Scallops, and Oysters Mushrooms. They were so delicious! So perfectly designed as well.
Julia D.
Odd Duck lived up to its hype and awesome reviews! My husband and I just moved to the MKE area and decided to go to the Odd Duck for our anniversary. Everything was SPECTACULAR. Our favorite dishes were the broccoli and seafood stew. Sean was our server and was extremely helpful/polite. Sean provided us with a special anniversary card and complimentary champagne! We will absolutely be going back. Thank you Sean and the Odd Duck staff!
Heidi Fendos
So good. Received a gift card and LOVED it. Had Lamb and Duck meat entrees with salad and peanut stew. Everything was out of this world! Our server was so friendly and helpful in talking us through the small plates menu. Highly recommend.
Sue Waudby
Fun dinner out. Great cocktail selection and creative food to order. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Leave room for dessert as the creme brulee was delicious. Reservations would be a good idea on busy nights. Next time we are visiting Milwaukee we will definitely go back.
Jerry Schnepp
Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the pork belly.
Boyce Evans
This place is a hidden gem and is fantastic. You will almost never have the same thing twice at this place. You never know what's going to be on the menu.
Nick Petersson
Food and service were awesome 😎 great place in BayView, I will be back.
Leesha Sebzda
We have been coming here for the last 4 years. We always use it as a place to go if we want to celebrate something because we can never stop ourselves from ordering as much as possible. Everything is always fantastic; the drinks, the food, the service.
Make a reservation at least 2 weeks in advance if you are trying to come in on a Friday or Saturday night. We always get their oyster mushroom dish (it varies throughout the year), this last weekend we really enjoyed a charcuterie board and I had the #41 cocktail which was great! I would avoid this establishment if you don't enjoy trying new things and/or hate flavorful food!
Brenda B
Awesome experience for our first time here. Service was fantastic & loved our meals. The scallops were perfectly prepared & we also enjoyed our Vietnamese seafood soup & crepe. My husband loved both new beers that he had. I really appreciated our server going through the menu & letting me know what dishes could be prepared dairy-free. We'll definitely be back!
Tom Forness
The food is delicious and the staff is very knowledgeable. They even had a menu marked up for me when I arrived with what had dairy in it. (I eat dairy and gluten free)
Valerie Renk
Interesting and tasty small plates menu and lots of drinks to try. No parking lot but good service and two clean restrooms are big pluses!
Collin DeOcampo
Delicious food, sat at the bar and it was really busy. Food came really quickly.
Joseph Rex
Amazing food and regularly changing menu. Makes it adventurous. I took my partner and she loved it. We will be back to explore more of their menu in the future
Tan N
The food was excellent. Stop in for some food and drink and had a great time.
Jack Gadzala
Outstanding; the food, the ambiance, the drinks! It is worth the drive to dine here. Not exactly a hidden gem, since it is extremely popular and reservations are always recommended, even on a Monday.
The scallops were some of the best I’ve ever had. The lamb and duck breast were so savory, I found myself stopping to ponder the flavors in my mouth.
No need to ramble further, strongly recommend.
Amanda Wagner
Food was amazing. I've never had small plates before and was a little nervous that it wouldn't be filling but I left surprisingly full and satisfied. Price wasn't bad for 4 people especially considering how many dishes we got to try. Service was phenomenal. Billy did a great job explaining the menu and the food came out super fast. Will definitely be going again some time.
Scarlett Acklin
This is the best food I've had in a while! The dishes are very creative yet still go together well. Service was spot-on and they are very knowledgeable about allergies/dietary restrictions. They have a nice selection of wine and a romantic patio, too. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!
Gregory Stacey
We went there before a show. My wife and I are foodie that have tried food from all over the world. Our food and experience was great. Let’s talk a little about the venue. The inside is tastefully decorated while showing the character of the old building that is located in the heart of Bayview. The real cool part of the experience was the menu itself. There was nothing ordinary. Everything we had was creative and tasty. Two plates that really stood out for us was the duck egg curry and a Brazilian seafood dish. The broth in the seafood dish was amazing. All in all I would recommend Odd Duck to anyone who wants a truly unique dining experience.
Kyle McHugh
The food was absolutely delicious! My girlfriend and I had an awesome time here. The ambiance was very well thought out as well. They even go as far to align the tables in the right way so that you are never facing another table or person so you can avoid that awkward overhearing conversations and eye contact. 2 things that didn't get this place a five star review.
1. Our server was very pretentious. Almost treated us like we didn't belong there and that he was much better than us.
2. I hope you have some serious money to spend here. Not the cheapest place in the city but the food is worth it!
Jessica Cowell
Been here multiple times and everything we've ever tried has been outstanding! Outstanding attentive staff, delicious and unique menu, amazing cocktails, you can't go wrong. Still very conscious about cleanliness for the pandemic. A must try!
Amaya Varela
Amazing, fresh food! Friendly, informative staff despite how busy it was. Was a little disappointed with the duck dish which I was most excited to try given the name of the restaurant but to each their own. I loved the heirloom squash soup!!
Mike Niznikiewicz
Amazing small tapas and some of the best cocktails I've ever tried. The Gin, vodka, sugar snap pea, basil something or other was phenomenal. Food was SO interesting and ranged from American to Thai and beyond. Service was great and atmosphere was fun and casual.
So worth checking out. Crowded and popular, so make sure you get reservations.
SERKAN YORULMAZ
We had fun night at Odd Duck. Very nice local Restaurant. Food was really good and has great wine options. Food is smaller portions and is for share. Like tapas style. They recommend to order 5 to 6 dishes for 2 people. I think this is a good way to try so many options from the menu.
Sunondo Roy
Great restaurant. Very creative tapas style small dishes, but items are inspired by dishes from all over the globe. The moqueca Brazilian fish stew is incredible. The Sichuan Liang Fen noodle dish is a new addition, but hopefully a regular. The Ethiopian Fried Cauliflower is a must have dish. You get the idea. A dinner at Odd Duck is like a trip around the globe for a dinner of global greatest hits. Very tasty non-alcoholic drinks. Desserts are just as creative and delicious.
Daniel Hoeft
Ordered carryout last week for a celebration. I have a food allergy and the staff and Executive Chef were very careful with making sure all the food ordered avoided contamination. They even called the day of to ensure the order was correct! I will definitely be going back not only because of the service, but the plates were amazing! Recommend the Peruvian Grilled Octopus while it is still on the menu!
Emily Sireno
Definitely a must try place! They execute flavors very well and every dish is an amazing experience!
Emily Johnson
I haven’t been to Odd Duck since the pandemic but it’s always been one of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee. We wanted to try out their takeout experience and it did not disappoint. Everything was absolutely fantastic. I will continue to support this local gem as often as possible.
Janice Lynch
Service was really great and attentive. We had frequent check-ins but didn't feel rushed. The food was phenomenal, including a really good cheese plate and perfect bread. All of the small plates were delicious. Their menu changes every day so it's never the same twice! The food was at the same level as Engine Co. 3, a former favorite, but without that place's relentless service issues. Other than the slightly tight seating quarters (and the fact that we had a person at the next table with an obnoxiously loud speaking voice) it was completely perfect from beginning to end.
Kathleen Crean
Phenomenal! We ordered carry out last night and every dish was an exploration of flavors, all perfectly seasoned and balanced with fresh ingredients. The gluten free flourless chocolate with orange créeme anglaise / candied oranges was heavenly. Best flourless cake I’ve eaten. Their customer service is wonderful and the restaurant is doing everything right in these uncertain times.
Jocelyn Fuller
We visited this small plates restaurant based on positive reviews. We enjoy innovative cuisine and the flavors we experienced were very good. We shared lobster fritters that were amazing. The stuffed Hungarian peppers were spicy good. We were looking forward to the seared sea scallops and spaetzle, but were disappointed when they came out at room temperature. The service was attentive so it’s possible that our food was prepared at the same time but delivered in intervals. I would recommend not ordering all the small plates at the same time.
Chad Matzen
This place is amazing. The cocktails are fantastic and the food is astounding. I don't think I've ever eaten somewhere that we ordered four dishes for the table and everything was the best thing I have ever tasted. This was the case at Odd Duck. With such amazing offerings I would expect the service to be pretentious and snarky, but the service was the best we've ever had.
T- Dub
This. Place!!! No reservations on a Monday and it was packed. The hostess was awesome... They made room at the bar for the 2 of us. Fresh, in season ingredients in ALL of there dishes. Perfect size to share one dish for two people (we ordered three dishes). Oh and the cocktails!! Totally unique and delicious! HIGHLY recommend!!
Jerome Oneill
Was in Milwaukee, from Chicago for a getaway weekend with my mom. Found this restaurant and was lucky enough to get a reservation on a Saturday evening. This is an amazing place. Food is quirky, but delicious, beverages were also tremendous as well. My mom said this was one of the best meals she had in years, and I would agree. We have been to some great places but this measures up and surpassed many of them.
Chloe Chiuminatto
Odd Duck is certainly one of the best restaurants in the Milwaukee area. Their wide menu caters to many diets and makes for a wonderful sharing experience. It's great for a date night, a larger group, and anything in between. As vegetarians, my husband and I find a restaurant of this caliber with such a large selection of vegetarian options to be an absolute delight. The dishes also really range in flavor profiles and come from different ethnic influences. And not to forget, they have an impressive wine list and a number of clever and inventive cocktails. And save room for desert - it's worth it! And the most important tip: make a reservation!! I've been there on a Monday night when there wasn't a table available until 9:30 pm. The word is out and well known, this place is amazing.
Brock Congleton
Wow. What a place. The bartending by Dan and the lady (I did not get her name and that upsets me in retrospect) was phenomenal. The attentiveness was second to none. The drinks were perfect. I ordered the #5 off the menu and a Jungle Bird. Both were absolutely delicious. They made me feel like home even though I was a solo diner from out of town. The food was extremely thoughtful and delicious. Thanks for a wonderful time, and cheers to the staff.
Tony LoCicero
Absolute favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. Ever changing menu, always something new and exciting to try. Half vegetarian, half meat options which is perfect in today’s food scene. Ross and Melissa definitely know what they are doing. Always my first recommendation to people trying new restaurants in the area. Nothing disappoints, ever.
Kevin Haas
The staff and small plates were outstanding! Our waiter was pleasant, attentive and helped make the night feel special. We enjoyed the full experience from having a glass of wine at the bar before being seated, to the cheese board, entrees and dessert.
Hendrick Long
Small plates concept is great for introducing a teenager to new foods prepared well. We’ve been here years ago and were not disappointed. Couldn’t get a reservation on a Tuesday night until after 9:15 pm, so we took our chances on a first come, first served patio. Everything delicious and complex. Service a little patchy. Will come again, and again. Terrific small plate selections for vegetarians as well as for omnivores, nicely spaced out. Lively atmosphere.
Patrick St Germain Jr
Absolutely spectacular food and service. It's always hard to find gems like this. Easy to get in and out of when crowded drink selection could use some more eagle park, 1840, or untitled. I couldn't be happier with the price. Love the bartenders. Anyone that complains about price is broke and should stick to cooking at home. And anyone that complains about the atmosphere isn't a foodie and should again just stay the hell at home!
Laura Lynn
This is great stop and worth waiting for or getting a reservation. The food has always been great. The cocktails are delicious and they hve a solid beer and wine list. The Odd Duck is usually one of my picks to celebrate whatever event I can think of (birthday, finishing a semester... making it through the week without yelling at my boss...).
Abby Thompson
Such a fun place! Have been here several times with big groups, small groups, and have eaten at the bar. Menu is always changing, but every dish I've had is always delicious. Small plates isn't usually my thing, but these are SO GOOD.
Beck Frame
This was an amazing find. Will be returning for the amazing dishes and cocktails. I didn't try a dessert but many individuals seemed to be enjoying them around me. Would highly recommend this venue but a reservation is certainly needed unless you are happy with bar seating (which is also a wait list!). The bar and host staff were so on it when it came to our reservation at the bar. Two individuals were leaving and tried to give their seats to their friends and the hosts were seriously amazing, they made sure our third party member got their seat. We live in Madison but will be returning soon.
Jacob Johnson
My fiancee and I decided to go here on a Saturday night. We walked into a full restaurant and were happy we had made a reservation. I had not been here before, but I had heard great things. After looking at the menu it all sounds good, but I also thought some of the dishes looked like they kind of had a lot going on.
We ordered 4 different plates and they were all outstanding. I would tell anyone that this is curious about Odd Duck that this is one of my top 5 dining experiences ever and top 1-2 in Milwaukee. I believe that their menu changes pretty often, so me going on about the mushrooms, pork shoulder, or amazing spin on a gyro won't mean much to you when you look at the menu they have for your visit.
Tobin Fraley
One of the best meals I've ever had. I can't wait to go back. Having lived in San Francisco, New York and now the Chicago area, plus a frequent traveler to New Orleans, I've eaten at many of the best restaurants in the country. Odd Duck is right up there. The ever changing menu offers a cornucopia of interesting choices. My wife and I ordered four plates (much like a tapas restaurant) which was plenty and left room for a marvelous dessert. I stopped eating beef, lamb and pork a few years ago so the menu, which is divided into Animal & Vegetable was perfect. The atmosphere was eclectic and charming and our server delightful. We can't wait to go back.
distinct person
Lamb and creme brulee were delicious. The seafood stew had cilantro. Yuck. The salad was just ok. Presentation was great. Ambiance was great.
Megan Sprangers
Even my least favorite dish was great and better than what you can get at most restaurants in Milwaukee. We will be back, a lot.
Beef and broccoli was cooked perfectly.
Octopus was delightful.
The celery root dish was amazing despite what you're probably thinking... "can something like celery root be good?" Yes. Yes it can.
Cornbread...get it.
Scallops, yum.
Cocktails and dessert were also winners.
Oh, and most of the menu is gluten free friendly.
Lucas Duffey
Great place to get tasty and innovative tapas.
Karla LaRock
I am in love with Odd Duck. The service is incredible, very knowledgeable staff. They have a changing menu, and EVERYTHING is so delightful all the time. Every drink is made with love, and every plate is heaven in your mouth. Great place to try new/different things. Atmosphere is incredible, I feel comfortable getting off work and grabbing a late bite at the bar, as well as dressing up for a date night. They take reservations, but the wait is always worth it.
Ray Forgianni
There is always the risk when visiting a well rated restaurant that one's expectations will far exceed food and service. Not here. This is an outstanding experience. Medium plates sized perfectly to share for two people allowing the patrons to share several dishes. Ordered two dishes at a time and they were delivered with perfect timing. Imaginative creations using locally sourced products whenever possible. Not one dish disappointed. Reasonably priced. Okay, the bread could have been sliced through deeper. Ha ha. Will return...often.

What a delightful place! Street parking, nice candlelit ambiance, gets noisy the later you go, but quiet and cozy till 6:45ish. Great and unusual little plates. We had 5 and it was perfect for the 2 of us. I am low carb and had no problems. I highly recommend--each plate had a unique flavor.
Amy Rohrschneider
I've literally never had a dish I didn't like at Odd Duck. Also, as a vegetarian, I highly appreciate that half the menu accommodates my diet. Plus, the bartender (bar manager maybe) with the tattoo sleeves just caught us in our car as we were already driving away around the corner because we forgot our credit card and he wanted to get it to us before we left. Hot damn that's customer service. 11/10 best restaurant in MKE.
Kelsey K
Had a great experience. The restaurant was full so we ate at the bar but still had great service. Love the interesting options for small plates. They're always changing the menu and trying out new combinations of flavors. Unique dining experience, would be great for a small group so you can try more dishes.
Elizabeth Colvin
Few restaurants are more delightful to eat at than Odd Duck. Service is always friendly. Food comes out quickly and at the perfect temperature (no sitting under heat lamps here!). Drinks are consistently tasty and creative. And even the bar is a wonderful place to sit.
Really, a wonderful place to enjoy an excellent meal.
Olivia Burger
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee. Unique small plates with ample vegetarian options. They have really good cocktails as well. The combinations of flavors are always very unique. I think this is a great restaurant for a date night!
Rushi Patel
Was excited to try this place. Told there would be a 25-30 min wait. Took about an hour to be seated. When asked for recommendations on what some crowd favorites were, was told "it's all great". The food was good, but maybe our expectations were too high. Of the four plates we got, the beef short rib we're by far the best. Definitely recommend them.
Jimmy Wido
This place wowed me in everyway. Food incredible. No way anyone can duplicate what they do here. Cocktails were equally great. This place is definitely top notch entertainment. Bartenders knew the food and can mix drinks and carry a conversation. Decor was comfy industrial feel allowing casual style or dress to impress.
Kelsey C
Best beer cheese soup of my life. Everything was super good and different. Lots of options for vegetarians. We are here just for the weekend and ate thinking about going back just because it was so good.
Abigail Barth
We stumbled in here while visiting the area from Madison yesterday. Although they were packed when we walked in they put us on a wait list to accommodate. Folks, even if you have to wait a bit (next time we will make a reservation :)...it is well worth it. For starters, the service is attentive and kind; whereas, in Madison it's almost as if cold and aloof is a mainstay in the industry. Then, there's the food....Incredible what they have coming out of that tiny kitchen! We enjoyed the octopus, seafood curry and I will, forever, dream about that short rib! Absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to come back!!
Myra Longaker
Food was great. Maybe warn people that the olives are not all pitted. The Korean dish was fantastic
360 Construction
Our favorite small plate/tapas restaurant in the Milwaukee area. We love the location in heart of Bay View neighborhood, easily accessible and have always had good service. Great atmosphere for a date night or sharing the experience with friends and trying new flavors with their seasonal rotating menu.
Wade Cupkie
Great date-night spot that never disappoints. Fresh kitchen options every time we go and a pretty stellar beer/wine menu too. Definitely splurge on desert and split a little French-press coffee. Staff is always on point and very knowledgeable about ingredients and preparation. Trust me, just go!
Andrew Vasina
A wide variety of delicious and interesting dishes. Portions are good for small plates and the wait staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place for an adventurous eater or drinker. The bar also features rotating cocktails which are excellent and interesting
Meghan Cohen
Experienced the Water Bird tasting menu this past weekend, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a COVID-safe dining experience. We ate outside on the back patio, the tables were spaced apart, and everyone followed the mask mandate. The food was incredible and each course featured a different cuisine of Southeast Asia. The goal was to take us on a journey through food, and they did just that!
Oscar Sublett
Easy to find in South Milwaukee. Great 5 star restaurant. Small plate selection is fantastic. Many options If you have a gluten free diet. Staff was wonderful. Sat at the bar and besides talking with the staff met some real nice people next to us from Racine. Will be back for sure.
BOB SAGGET
Where do I start...Odd duck was the experience of a 5 star restaurant with the price of a 3 star restaurant. We ordered about 5-6 different plates - as the serving style is small plates. Everything was how you would imagine a top rated French restaurant to be, both in terms of taste and preparation. If you've ever been to Girl and the Goat, it's the same style, and the taste may even be better. Don't forget to set a reservation, as it gets booked quickly. This is an experience I will always remember.
Belena Vincetti
Amazing. Have the cactus risotto, if they're serving it. It's possibly the loveliest thing I've ever eaten. Just a really great location, perfect staff, great drinks, amazing food. It's expensive and hard to get a table last minute, but totally worth it if you plan ahead!
Sarah Lambrecht
Great charcuterie board pate and cheeses were excellent , braised short ribs very good, scallops were great but not enough only 3. We also had the roasted cauliflower very good. Cocktails excellent. Also great service. So important!
Joshua James
We were able to get a spot on a friday night. The service was quick, but not rushed. On top of the service the flavor was wild. Incredible variety and perfect execution. I loved the menu and the vibe. I would recommend this place to any who wants a relaxed yet memorable dining experience.

While it has been a few years since I’d been back to Odd Duck, I was very excited to go back once again and eat my way through a sizable chunk of the menu.
Food: My wife and I had 6 of the courses, and 2 drinks. I figure it would be easier to go one by one:
Kale Salad: 8/10: good portion, very flavorful the smoked hazelnut/pepita was a great compliment.
Potato Bubble Waffle: 6/10: again, good portion, was more of a comfort food then a vibrant taste. If you like poutine, this may be up your ally.
Duck Fat Cabonara: 9/10: The best dish we had. Portion size was pretty big, and the star was the spicy duck heart bits. We both said, ordering two portions of this could make a meal, and a very tasty one at that.
Cauliflower Rojo: 5/10: Smaller portion size, and while everything separate was good, just didn’t overly work for us. Think a mole sauce over cauliflower.
Beef and Broccoli: 8/10: HUGE portion size for the value, and tasted like a very clean version of the dish. Didn’t overly invent the wheel on this, however it was just a great version of a takeout food classic.
Duck Egg Cornbread: 7/10: was a bit dry, but the flavors were good, presentation was nice too.
Chocolate Ganache cake: ?/10: I don’t want to rate this one, because it relied heavily on orange/chocolate combo which is just not my cup of tea. That said, the cake was good, and the banana ice-cream was as well.
Pomegranate Mezcal: 10/10: I always go for the mezcal drink on the menu, as I love the smokey taste. That said, most of the time drinks get weighed down by the heft of the smoke, and this one did not. A very flavorful drink with just the right balance.
Atmosphere: A very small space with a smaller bar, I have always been interested in the Odd Duck space. To me, it is very muted, and doesn’t speak nearly as loud as their food does…but hey, you don’t really need it when your restaurant is constantly full.
Service: Our waiter was great, kept plates staggered nicely so we could finish one before the other. All around very good.
My score: 8/10. A place I always like going to once or twice a year, when the menu shifts. My wife and I’s favorite restaurant is the Girl and the Goat in Chicago, so this is a good Milwaukee replacement. Pricey, and the atmosphere isn't as nice as others, but the portion sizes don’t make you feel cheated, and a wide range of interesting dishes to try will keep you coming back.
Disha Rambhia
Veggies are flavour-bombs here! We ordered 4 dishes between the two of us followed by a dessert. All of them were amazing including the poached pear dessert.Excellent drinks! Expect a meal that you might have never had before. Worth a try for people who love to experiment.
Hamnet Graber
My expectations were high as I had read many articles about this place and I wasn't disappointed. My party and I had a wonderful time at The Old Fashioned.The cheese curds are one of the best I've had, and their bourbon Old Fashioned is definitely THE best one I've ever had.They have a whole menu for this drink, which makes the experience really fun.
Anna Stinauer
My husband and I went on our dating anniversary. We love small plates and knew we had to try Odd Duck. We ordered about 8 plates, which was probably one too many as we were so full by the time the last plate came out. The food was really great, and we even ordered coffee at the end that came out in a French Press. Odd Duck is perfect for a date night. It is on the pricier side but we expected that.
Craig Flaming
Portions are kind of small but the food is creative and tasty. I would come here again.
mandeep kohli
Went twice In same week, food is excellent. We travelled from Chicago to Wisconsin only for the restaurant, the second time we dined there; both experiences were amazing, although some dishes (Moroccan lamb) the serving portion was very small for the price.
Mimosa Shah
Incredible small-plates, farm-to-table concept restaurant with the unassuming attitude I grew to know and love in Milwaukee. Located close to the action of Bay View, this small storefront is in fact quite generous inside. Be sure to make reservations as the queues can be quite long on the weekends. The menu changes daily, items are seasonable, and the drinks' list rotates regularly. Whether it's a Korean scallion pancake, tacos, sushi, gnocchi, or a skirt steak, everything is executed with a great deal of love and care. The cheese plate is generous, and like other items, meant to be shared. Arrive with a sense of languor because this will be a meal to savor and appreciate. In the summertime, check out their back patio, which is great for sipping and sauntering.
Adam J Hamersky
The best restaurant in Milwaukee hands down. Nick is a great chef. Knows how to make amazing food. A lot of the Milwaukee Bucks NBA players come here and eat. That right there should tell you the caliber of restaurant this place is. I have nothing but great things to say about this place.
Spencer Nelson
Fantastic food and drinks, with great service. The changing menu keeps it interesting from visit to visit, and the servers seem to have a sixth sense for when you're about to finish a plate. Some of the best meals I've had in Milwaukee have been at Odd Duck.
benjamin kowalkowski
Heard great things about the place, but was hesitant because I was going out of my comfort zone with the menu items and small plates. Quickly learned that it didn't matter what we ordered, it would be fantastic. LOVED every plate. Great dining experience, really blew expectations out of the water!
Nicholas Whitehead
Delicious small plate options with a wide variety of choices. They have great vegetarian and vegan options as well which is a wonderful addition to any date night or meal out.
Miriam Balinsky
Odd Duck is a delicious restaurant! My boyfriend and I are both vegetarians and tree nut free. We had plenty of menu options and our server was super helpful. The fried oyster mushrooms and cactus risotto were some of the best dishes I've EVER had!!
Melissa Barnes
It was ok. Service was ok but slow. Helpful but not overly friendly. Dishes were interesting but way too salty. Would’ve been great if each one wasn’t over salted. They also talked up the spice on one so much we were nervous to try it and when we did we wondered what they were talking about. Not spicy at all. Dessert was dry. Wine was good. Patio needed some weeding and cleanup. I wouldn’t go back, especially for the price. Other places have done this type of food and ambiance better.
Aaron Jibo
Best place to eat in Milwaukee. Their empanadas, scallops, and bacon wrapped dates are always good options. The beer list is flawless and their cocktails are always amazing. If you’re into a fancy fun fine dining buffet then this is the place to be.
Ryan Kroger
This place is a must! We found this place by chance coming home from Milwaukee and couldn't believe what we stumbled on. The drinks and food are amazing. Although this is a small plate restaurant make sure you bring your appetite because your going to want to try it all. The seating is somewhat small so either get there early (be prepared to stand in line) or see about making reservations.
Char White
Crazy small, crazy busy and CRAZY good!! This small plate tastes are magnificent. Taste and plating is exquisite. Price high for small plates, but totally worth it! Fresh beautiful food comes out of a tiny kitchen with friendly knowledgeable servers. This is a must go for all!!
Will Mackenzie
My favorite restaurant in the Milwaukee area. Period. Always something new, different and exciting keeps bringing me back every couple of months. I enjoy eating all types of food but honestly I would have no problem being a vegetarian if all my meals came off the vegetarian side of the Duck's menu. Seriously - do not pass up on this joint.
Dana Blanchard
I went mainly just to sample the impressive beer/wine selection- 5 small plates later, I can honestly say there isn't anything they don't nail. The food, the alcohol, the atmosphere- all top notch. As a flight attendant I go out of my way to request trips to cities with good food, and this place has me convinced that Milwaukee is worth coming back and back and back to.
Meryl Fitzpatrick
Amazing experience at Odd Duck. I'm absolutely in awe of what they do there - it is so so apparent that they take their craft seriously. How they rotate the menu so often and maintain that level of quality is beyond me. The drinks and food we got were incredible. Get all 3 of the drinks under the "Favorites" section. You won't be disappointed. I also loved #21 which is a vodka/grapefruit/fennel concoction. For the food, we were blown away by everything - fiddlehead fern fricase, cauliflower, duck, short rib, quail (least favorite cause it's so hard to get any meat off that tiny thing). And my personal favorite was the Nasi Lamek. Do not miss that. Amazing lavender lemon crem brûlée for dessert.
Jeremy Peterson
The food was obviously delicious, but I really wanted to call out the lamb dish. This dish had an italian flare with an eggplant sauce that knocked my socks off. At least one dish manages to shatter expectations every time I visit. Bravo!
Jen Gorenc
Everything is delicious at the Odd Duck. The food, the drinks and the ambiance are all spot on. Some of my favorites are the cauliflower, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, steak, pork belly, scallops, and creme brulee. This place is a must if you are visiting Milwaukee. Highly recommend!
Matt Weidner
Best dinning experience I've had in a while. Do yourself a favor and stop in for great drinks, amazing food and warm atmosphere. Staff is fantastic and knowledgeable. I recommend sitting at the bar for that reason. :)
Jared Adamczyk
(Review from 7/29/15)
I ate at Odd Duck this past Monday with family. There were six of us, and our server suggested that if we order about two plates per person, that we would have enough food to leave full and satisfied. He was right on!
We tried everything from bacon wrapped gouda filled dates, charred octopus, duck, scallops, risotto, corn salad, pierogi, fried chicken, and pork belly.
Overall, my personal favorites were the dates and the octopus! I highly recommend trying those just as many other reviews have stated. The dates have the perfect mix of sweet and savory, smooth and creamy with the crunch of the bacon. The flavors and textures work great together. The octopus was one of the things that I HAD to try going into Odd Duck as I had seen many people recommending it. The first thing that our server suggested was in fact the charred octopus which he went into detail and with passion about how much he really liked it! You don't know what you are missing until you have tried this dish! The octopus is the most tender I have ever had, and the char adds such a great flavor profile that I have not experienced with octopus before. I will for sure be ordering the charred octopus whenever I go back to Odd Duck!
The atmosphere is what you would expect for a small Bay View hipster restaurant. I really like the small plates to share amongst people style of dinning. Bring friends and enjoy the ride!
Christopher Rogers
Great place to go for small plate style dishes. I am a big fan of Spanish style tapas and enjoy going to other types of small plate restaurants. All of the food here was unique and very, very tasty. In addition, the prices were very reasonable. When we are back in town again, we will be coming back here.
Suzanne Kalra
Everytime, I have an excellent time and have fun selecting the various dishes I'll try. And everytime, the dishes are AMAZING. The portions are perfectly sized, enough for sharing, but not too small that you leave still hungry or need to order 20 things. I try to usually get a cheese plate and at least one item each from the vegetarian and meat selections
adam Hunter
Wow! Lots of fun and very good food!
Johnathan Manzo
Odd duck is a very special gem in Milwaukee. They has everything you could want in a independent restaurant. There is a wide and inspired small plate selection. The bacon wrapped Gouda dates, seared scallops, and Peruvian potato/ yucca plates are my personal favorites. There is also a large cocktail menu; I had a gin drink with thyme.
Now for the service, I have always noticed that all the servers were deeply familiar with the menu. They were always attentive but not overbearing.
Odd duck is a great date spot. I had my first date, 1 year anniversary, and recently my engagement at Odd Duck. Again, from top to bottom, you can't find a better restaurant in Bayview or Milwaukee.
Tucker Osman
This place was great! This place is ideal for taking close friends because you're going to want to try everyone else's dish. And you should, in fact, it's encouraged! Their menu changes every day, so no matter how many times you go back it's always fresh and always new. This place was amazing and would go back in a heartbeat. Reservations are a good idea because this place gets crowded.
Jorge Gutierrez
This place is one of a kind. Some of the best food I have put in my mouth. I visited a couple months ago and was completely blown away by each entree I tried. The servers have alot of knowledge of every thing on the menu and can answer almost all questions. This is one of those spots where you have to go multiple time to try everything on the menu because you will not get enough.
Nicki Muhawi
A must go in Milwaukee! Delicious food and cocktails and a delightful cozy space. Everyone was friendly and helpful and I’ll definitely come back here when I’m back in the city.
Mark Howard
Next time I'm in Milwaukee, I would definitely come back! My boyfriend was craving seafood and this was our first time in Milwaukee so we got a great view of the sky line lit up and some great food. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions. I ordered the combination of steak and scallops. The steak melted in my...
عبدالله الدش
An outstanding meal with a wide array of choices for the herbivore and the omnivore! The service was great, the pace was casual, and the food was amazing. One of my most memorable meals. My adult son discovered Odd Duck for a trip we were making to Milwaukee. Wow! What a find.
Annette Schellbach
Excellent! Most uninteresting and tasty food you will ever experience!!
Shelley Andersen
Loved the variety and ability to order our plates on demand. Everything we tried was excellent. Be sure to try one of the craft cocktails. We ate at the bar and the service was top notch.
Devan Gomez
Best MKE culinary experience yet! Attention to detail shows itself in a delicate balance of flavor and texture surrounding a bold menu that represents multiple cuisines. Paired with a fine selection of libations, it is easy to have an exquisite meal here.
paul nose
I've been there twice, amazing food. Truly one of the most delicious experiences in Milwaukee. Usually good service.
-=update=-
after my third visit I have to lower to 4 stars. i went to odd duck on a Wednesday and had four dishes, all four were very mediocre (even though i had 1 of them before and it was great). I'm hoping it was just a weekday fluke, but when you spend a lot of money on dinner there shouldn't be flukes. I plan i trying them again to find out.
-=update=-
went back on a weekend. it was pretty good, but still not the amazing food i had the first two visits. I'm sure i'll try it again some time, but i'm in no rush after the last two visits.
Kelly Sorge
The menu is one of the most unique in the city, everything is done meticulously and creatively. The wine list offers something that everyone would enjoy. The wait staff is well informed on each item and was able to answer all questions we had. Great date spot.
Mark “Dake”
Food was very very good. Every dish was real interesting and delicious. The drink service was right on par with the food. The best thing was the creme brulee of the day! Great spot and not too expensive.
Ignacio Manzanedo
From out of town (Montreal, Qc, Can) and the staff was upbeat, helpful with menu, and gave good recommendations. Food was high quality, nice portion sizes per dish, with reasonable prices. Atmosphere was chill, hipster-esque (lights in mason jars), nice, wide selection of liquors. Overall, great place! 5 stars
Elizabeth Yardley
Amazing! I would give 6 stars if that was an option. Food is incredible! Definitely get the octpus dish...crispy on the outside and soft on the inside...not chewy at all as octopus usually is and amazing flavor. Can't wait to go back!
Jeff Lozinski
Absolutely fantastic Great variety in plates and you must try the oyster Rockefeller if they are available. Could just eat these all night. Wilhelm the server was informative and attentive. Great server!
Angela Steinkamp
Very delicious and creative dishes. Full of flavor and many styles of cooking. Small plates are great for sharing and are appetizer sized. Great wine selection. Can't wait to go back.
Monica Cardenas
Came to celebrate our anniversary. Wound up having another guest which crowded the table but we were ok with that. 10 is their max. Fantastic scallops, wonderful variety of dishes. Loved the rhubarb dessert.
Jonathan Riezman
One of the best meals I've ever had! Everything was elxpertly prepared and delicious. The Thai fried oyster mushrooms were out of this world. Also great for socializing with the small share plates.
Christina Loftus
Great food, lousy service.
Very good food, however, had a server who never actually greeted us, just poured us water, and walked away. We waited a very long time, finally went up and asked someone for service, and the girl who poured water was actually our server... She never introduced herself, didn't keep up on checking if we wanted to order more (it's a small plates restaurant, you gotta keep up on making sure your table has enough food). When we got our check we saw that her name was Julie.
I'd go back if I knew there would be better service.
Randall Jamrok
Neat menu, great vegetable-forward food, and tasty cocktails! The workers at the restaurant were hard-working, knowledgeable, and were in control, both in the kitchen and the waitstaff. We ate here summer of 2018 and hope to come again.
Tease Salon
After sending many of my clients to this restaurant, I finally got to go! Incredible. The food was wonderful. My partner and I did 5 small plates and it was the perfect amount of food. Very reasonably priced as well. Joseph was our server. Very friendly as well as knowledgable. Already made a reservation for another visit.
Laura Felzer
Food is wonderful, bartender leaves much to be desired. Thursday 3/3/16 was my second visit in 3 1/2 years. Both times, same bartender. VERY inattentive and UNFRIENDLY!. I arrived before my friends for our five p.m. reservation and went right to the bar. She was right in front of me washing glasses. NEVER greeted me, continued to wash glasses. I said I was meeting friends for a reservation as I sat down. After about three minutes of her washing glasses and asking others if they needed anything, she finally slid a drink menu over from 3 feet away. I ordered a glass of wine which she brought without a word. My friends arrived and ordered. She still was not friendly but at least they didn't wait for her to get done with something else. They were served with drink napkins under their glasses, I was not. The first visit with my husband in 2012 was the same, but worse as we ate at the bar. Same attitude and then we had to wait for her to deem us worthy to serve food to as well. Because of her, I will never dine with you again!
Be_Your Best_You
Took my daughter (big time Chicago foodie) and boyfriend last night on KK Rd. 5 Star from beginning to end! Food, Service and Value! Outstanding! Was 25 minutes early...friendliest hostess ever! Wait staff on top of all with awesome service and suggestions. Easy going and never pressured to move you along. And the food...wow! Bec ordered all and every dish was amazing. Highly recommend you check it out. $50 with 25% tip for all 3 with no liquor purchased.
Keith Kmiec
A small out of the way place that is worth the find.
Very thoughtful Small plates and tapas worth every delicate bite!
You will not find your regular drinks here either. The Mixologist has dreamed up some fresh tastes using fresh herbs and spices.
Try #26 (yes, that is the name)
for a refreshing taste.
Eat in or out on their patio.
Jaime Meyer
My fiance and I went here for our anniversary dinner. It has a fun vibe and I was very pleased with the amount of vegetarian plates that were available. We each ordered 2 plates and shared a cheese platter. I was a little disappointed that the cheese platter did not arrive until we were almost done with our first plate. I liked my first dish, pierogies, but did not care for the second, kung pao tofu, there were so many other options, I just wish I had tried something else. Overall a great experience, looking forward to trying some more plates.
craig martens
my first time. Great place, probably more like 4.5 stars. The Bavette was outstanding and I really like the Dosa. Our other choices were good, but a step below the first two. Also, would have liked to see a really ripe french cheese on their cheese menu. Definitely would go back
Margaret Jurgens
Food and service was excellent. Wished I would have gotten writer's name. He was fantastic. The rabbit filled perogie was my favorite.
Janice Lee
“best steak, best service”
A handsome room (that I hear they are redoing!) and live jazz. Add in super service and delicious food. You can't go wrong. Just make reservations because it's really popular, even on a weeknight.
TheGreenmachine34
Loved this place!! We had 9 plates all were breathtaking. Saw it on WI foodie. So glad we came to try it!! Would suggest this place to anyone that wants to try scratch food. If this place got a bad review it's only because it's so popular it gets really busy. We will be back!!
Erika Daman
The food was very flavorful and the ambience was very peaceful, yet energetic. Definitely had a non-typical menu that changes regularly with what is in season. They grow much of their own vegetables and seasonings.
Ana Cristina Perez
Absolutely delicious! And staff was super friendly too. They kindly agreed to prepare some carbonara pasta for our five year-old. Definitely recommend this place.
Kemberly Jones
Quick summary: delicious food with inventive flair. A la carte and set menus for adventure. Not cheap, but fairly priced for the quality, Very attentive, professional staff. It's been a while since we visited, and it was time. The a la carte menu has enough choice to please anyone, and the kitchen will probably make any adjustments for some preferences.
Matt Templon
Delicious meal and friendly staff. Had to change the reservation amount and they were happy to accommodate. Nice bartenders and wait staff. Food is exceptional, especially the meats and cheese selection.
Joyce Daubner
Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend. Only little critique is that tables are small so makes it tight to hold the plates. However, they do a good job of bringing them out in stages.
peachie D
Small plates but good food. This is more like a social place, don't go there if you are too hungry you will be disappointed with the serving. Overall is good food and friendly staff. I recommend to get a reservation if you don't want to sit by the bar.
Mark Marzion
Great little place that specializes in 'small plate" offerings. Some of the dishes we had were a little bland for my taste, but everything prepared and presented well. I understand that they change the menu often, so we will definitely go back. Cool atmosphere and location.
brian thikim
I would say that the food is very unique, but very exquisite in a sense. Somewhat pricey, but if you reserve the table, you don't get the full benefit of seeing the food at the bar. And yes they do serve at the bar and I liked it more than the tables
Adam Newman
Loved the menu. We started with 2 funky cool bourbon concoctions and some charcuterie--bourbon and bacon!!
Bleu cheese fried chicken, short ribs and so much more for small plates. Delicious flour less chocolate cake to finish . . . mmmm!!
Matt Olson
Whatever you order you will love! My favorites are Chicken liver mousse, bacon wrapped dates, pork belly, charred octopus and smoked trout mousse. The cocktails that Courtney and Dan make are very tasty. The owners are always on top of every aspect of running a restaurant.
Mary Siders
Amazing! Every delectable bite made my mouth and tummy happy. Maggie was an excellent waitress and the kitchen is on the ball. Best eats I've had in a long time!
Erin Pacheco
Eclectic small plates restaurant.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dinner—make a reservation NOW and go! It’s my
impression the menu changes frequently. When I went in late fall 2017, we tried nearly everything on the menu—I would recommend you do the same. I struggle to think of a single dish that I did not love.
Benjamin Scott
Awesome food and drinks. Great service too!
Brian Tuorto
I was in town for work, and thought this place looked cool, but it turned out, end to end, to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in any city. What a diamond in the rough. If you are anywhere near this place, try it. It is unique, creative and the service was top notch. I dont speak to many places, but this is truly special. Please give it a shot!
John Graber
In a word? _OUTSTANDING._
We decided to check out Odd Duck for dinner before heading over to Anodyne Coffee for a concert later in the evening. And we could not have been happier with our decision.
The variety of small plate offerings and the far more than adequate selection of drinks to accompany them was (as I mentioned previously) outstanding. And no complaints about the service, whatsoever. There is absolutely no question that we will be returning to sample more of the menu.
mary van de kamp nohl
My new favorite Milwaukee restaurant! Enjoyed a fabulous dinner for 6 with lots of small plates and they were all excellent! Can't wait to go back and introduce more friends to the Odd Duck!
Judith Rodriguez
For the food, we were blown away by everything - fiddlehead fern fricase, cauliflower, duck, short rib, quail (least favorite cause it's so hard to get any meat off that tiny thing). And my personal favorite was the Nasi Lamek. Do not miss that. Amazing lavender lemon crem brûlée for dessert. Service was perfect too. I would literally come hack to Milwaukee again just to go here.
Jason Buth
Amazing experience for food and atmosphere!! There wasn't a dish that I was disappointed with! A chef of 26 years. 5 stars isn't enough!! Ask for Pete the bartender and say that Jason sent you.
John Bazzetta
Excellent small plates. Pricy, yes, but the quality of the dishes are incredible. Great for a couple or small group to order many shared plates. Drinks are great too!
Miles Menos
Very yummy food! It is a small dish restaurant with a consistently changing menu. The atmosphere it has is very welcoming other the temperature of the restaurant is rather cold. All in all it is a good place the is worth the rather expensive price.
Baron von Zed
Beautiful, Creative and Delicious Tapas! Eating here was an adventure. The prices are slightly unrealistic for what you're actually getting but I have no regrets. I will be back many times, I'm sure.
Dustin Underwood
COVID-19 update: I used their pick-up service last week and was fairly happy with it. The staff contacts you and brings it out. They all wear masks. However, they did hand it directly to me, which seemed unnecessary, but ultimately very low risk since we're both masked and it's a brief outdoor interaction.
Also, I saw later that they have a pickup area, where they could put it in your backseat to further decrease the risk if you're particularly concerned.
The food certainly doesn't come across as well at the home environment, but man alive I'm glad that we can still at least get it in some form!
Best. Food. In. Milwaukee.
Zach Heise
Reminds me a lot of Pig in a Fur Coat in Madison. Great small plates and large, organized by whether or not they're vegetarian friendly or not. Good (if expensive) cocktails that are frequently rotated; they've got some pro bartenders here. But it's a lot bigger than the Pig, much better chance for a fast seat!
David Albino
I had six dishes and no drinks and paid a very reasonable price. All of the food was reasonable portions so you could try everything without eating until you puke like most restaurants.
The desserts were amazing.
Green Thai curry
Gnocchi
Corn fritters
Fried green tomatoes
Rosemary creme brûlée
Passion fruit Panna cota
Maureen Brock
Perfect restaurant. Great service, delicious food and a fun atmosphere. It's true, if you want to do an ethnography on hipsters and whatever steampunk is, this is the place to do it. Very reasonable too; drinks and 4 small plates for $50. I love that their menu changes daily so we can have date nights here often and always be surprised. We tried duck testicles (well, not me), duck flautas, pork belly over grits, fried green tomatoes and orange glazed short ribs with a perfect tapenade accompaniment. Paul Zerkel, your food is epic as always.
Laura Lee
Every dish, every single time I go, is fantastic. The sides are scrumptious, sometimes even upstaging the entrée. Service is on point and experienced. Making a reservation generally will save you an ample wait time.
James Huycke
Small plates in an old building, crowded. It's good, but, frankly, overrated. A couple dishes were so salty they bordered on being inedible. Parking is a major hassle. Travel up to The Norbert in West Bend for a better experience.
Keegan Allen
Possibly the best restaurant in Milwaukee. Not cheap but totally worth it. Especially great for vegetarians who want their dishes prepared with the same effort and creativity as the carnivores'.
Carol Wagner
Greetings from Bayview! Odd Duck is the best place to dine casually... with eclectic gourmet entrees! Last night our party of 4 boomers had the following delights! Spicy Calabrese olive salad,Naden Beef short ribs(the best),Chared Lamb in Greek sauce, Roasted Cauliflower, Savory Potato Bubble waffle(yum!) and Wild Mushroom Galette! All were so very tasty, right temperature and served by knowledgeable waitstaff The hot buttered rum drinks served on a typically cold Wisconsin March day were equally fantastic and hit the spot! They have a great full bar, with many great local brews and many good wine selections as well! So the Odd Duck is now my Fav Duck place to dine in Metro Mikwaukee
Nathan McCourt
The food was so good! Great portions with an explosion of flavor!
Chris Mattern
One of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. Very consistent, dishes come out at a great pace, and the menu updates frequently. Well worth the trip.
Rita Avellar
It was one of my best foodie experience in life! All the dishes, desserts even the non-alcoholic drinks selection was amazing. I could go back to Milwaukee just to have this experience again. Amazing!!
Michael Wildner
Although prices are a bit on the high side, the food is quality and the ever-changing menu offers good variety. They seem to specialize in vegan fair, as preparation of meats is a bit hit or miss.
Elizabeth Chiang
The menu changes every day. I had the best bacon wrapped dates here. I've had them before but these were the best I had. Every dish we got was amazing.
Cathy Norris
Interesting menu. The steak skewer was perfectly prepared and seasoned. The sweet sour smoked duck breast was a star entree...delicious. excellent service.
Hannah Barron
This place.. is truly phenomenal. I've never eaten such delicious food and I don't know if I ever will again. Everything was so perfect. Just absolutely perfect. It's expensive, but it's worth every penny.
TallGlider
Nice little stop. Blue cheese stuffed olives in the martinis were great! Didn't eat, but observed some real nice looking dishes...seemed reasonably priced also.
Brennan Balestrieri
Quick, small plates. Great creativity and value. Favorite any day, call for reservations, esp on weekends and Thurs.
Great for veggie, GF, and fantastic seafood.
Superb cocktails, wine, and booze selection.
Jerrad Hamilton
Hands down the best restaurant I've been to in Wisconsin. The food is absolutely phenomenal! They change the menu up daily i believe. I've never ate something there that i haven't enjoyed 100%
adr. so.
We were seated promptly at the bar (go early on a Saturday night!) and ordered a small range of the lighter dishes. Loved the varied menu and good execution on everything
Savanna Van Kessel
I have a very bad nut allergy so eating out can be difficult at times especially when it's a fresh produce type of dining. Odd duck was wounderful with helping me with my allergy. When we called to make reservations the hostess asked if there was any food allergys. Then when we got there at my spot was a menu with everything highlighted that had nuts. Along with an x though ones that they could not take the nuts off. The staff was wounderful to work with and I got to enjoy my dinner worry free . Thank you so much!
Kevin Duarte
This restaurant is ideal all around! Efficient, courteous, friendly, and professional staff. Menu changes daily but each dish we had was amazing, fresh, I highly recommend!
Sarah Krueger
Just tried "The Duck" for the first time. Top notch all the way around. The service was excellent, bar tender Dan is great!!! And the food was fun and unique. Definitely going back.
Evan Knapp
Very good small plate items. Very creative and very delicious dishes. However be prepared to pay between 10 and 15 dollars for really not a lot of food. Great cocktails also.
Kelsey Nicholson
Every dish was so unique and amazing. The drinks are awesome & our server was so helpful and did a wonderful job. Will be back!
Ryejin13
Such an amazing dinner experience. The menu changes every day! Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. Service was fantastic too.
Barbara Meier
Odd Duck is one of our fav Milwaukee restaurants. Despite not knowing what half the things are on the ever rotating menu, everything is always delicious, and the knowledge of the wait staff is always amazing.
Nathan Bourdo
Loved everything about this place. The staff is very educated on the menu and wine lists! I highly recommend booking a table in advance as they do not take walk-ins for table service.
Nicole Himes
Loved the atmosphere here and the bartender was awesome! I'm totally intrigued by their menu but did not get the chance to eat here before I left Milwaukee. I hope to return!
Jon Bjerning
Ever since they opened, Odd Duck has been serving amazing food and drinks that focus on local and seasonal ingredients. They never dissapoint, and pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality and presentation.
Will Quaas
Went here for my wife and brother in laws birthday, it was fantastic! Small plates with a cozy atmosphere. I recommend to try at least once
Miriam Davidow
Cheese board was delicious. Cauliflower was disappointing. My friend enjoyed the pierogi. Everything was a bit overpriced.
Brian Snortheim
This place was referred to me and I really wanted to like it, but I would not go back.
Outside of one tapas dish, the rest of the food was mediocre. The wine pour portion was paltry.
Overall, I give the food a 3.5. if I had to factor what I paid for the meal I give it a 3.
Jessica Buhrman
Loved the endive salad and octopus, both incredible. Elote carrots and duck were good too but, I'll dream about those first 2 courses.
Joel Ondercin
If you don't like Odd duck you're wrong.
Dan Kowalsky
A Milwaukee favorite with a great Bay View atmosphere. Great fenced in patio. Creative recipes with local ingredients, great drinks/wine list and a friendly, attentive staff.
Hanna Castro
Duck brest cooked to perfection and the corn creme brulee absolutely delicious. It was worth every penny.
Thomas Olsen
Fantastic experience, great food and good service ! Will go back again.
Jason Tornquist
Food was good, however their estimate for how long the wait would be was a fantasy. Twenty minutes turned into well over and hour and we should have walked to the next street over and patronized some other restuarant.
Mark Buck
Great place, friendly efficient staff. Food was superb and unique. Small plates format made it a fun evening for our group.
Colton Young
The octopus dish at Odd Duck was my favorite sea food dish that I have ever eaten. Along with that, the lamb was also excellent. I would highly recommend this place!
Mark Haleen
Food was good! Experience was better!
Lindsey Keith
A wonderful choice for our anniversary. Even when the place was completely booked, it was not chaotic, crowded or loud. Since the food was perfect and the service was exceptional, I find the prices to be fair.
Nicholas Earle
Amazing food! Great atmosphere! Terrific service! You will probably need a reservation because it is so amazing that it gets booked up! Worth it though!
Liz Puccetti
Had an amazing dinner here with my Dad when he came to visit. Prices were beyond reasonable for the quality and taste of our dishes. Did not disappoint!
Caroline Zavislak
Great, innovative and creative fare! The wine list is also wonderful! Service and staff is attentive and helpful when choosing dishes and staging them appropriately.
Ivy Koelliker
Great restaurant! Lots of small plates to share that are very inventive and delicious. Good vegetarian options, too. Very friendly waitstaff.

Matthew Malinowski
We came here for our anniversary and really liked it. We felt the food was very good, loved the ambiance, but there are other places with better food for less money.
Bobby Keith
This place is simply incredible. Everything is so well thought out and well prepared. We've been there three or four times and have never ordered anything we didn't like.

Went there for my daughter 30th birthday. Had 8 different dishes and all tasted great. Place has a great atmosphere and service.

L. Hernandez
Amazing food, staff was incredible. I enjoyed that it was fine dining without the stuffiness. Great experience.

Great place for some delicious small plates! The staff is very friendly and makes great suggestions for options that pair well! Delicious.
Emily Trombley
I'm so glad we decided to drive here from Chicago to visit the three domesBoring is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Wisconsin but Mitchell Park Conservatory is far from boring.. Admission is $8 per adult and $6 for students or those 17 and under so be sure to bring your student id or id of some sort!
Sally Whitmore
Was really great, but the portion sizes are *much* smaller than La Merenda and not as interesting of an atmosphere. Hasn't succeeded in getting me to make the switch from LM to OD.
Austin Cable
The best customer service I have ever had. The dishing are unique and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes eating delicious food.
Jedidiah Proud
As American Feminist Poetess Gwen Stefani once famously declared: "B-A-N-A-N-A-S"
It's hard to think she didn't pen this anthem during her dining/life-changing experience at Odd Duck.
I mean, really--who gave this Duck permission to bring exceptional organic/free-range/vegan/bequeathed-by-an-Apache-Princess food quality and the limitless flavors of the world to a humble blue-collar neighborhood at approachable prices *without* any pretension?!?
"Odd" ???
If this Duck is odd, I don't want to be right.
Pierre Wube
Food is amazing and they offer curbside pickup.
Chefgeneral
Extremely different type of dining unique any quite nice food was great drinks were great fine selection of everything definitely worth the cash you got to try it at least once
Linda Schwarz

Love this place - food always good, service always good. The bad review by Jay K which body shames the bartender should be taken for what it is...a sexist rant.
