The Noble - Milwaukee

July 2023: I came here for my birthday brunch (as I heard they were closing...its apparently in September for those interested) with a friend who had never been. It was easily the most disappointing dining experience of my life.I knew there may be a wait based on prior experience. I didn't expect the wait to be almost 2 hours. I didn't expect my friend to not be accommodated for a drink she didn't like. In my experience, any restaurant would have done something. Upon being seated, my friend asked for the drink she did not want to be removed from the table as she wasn't going to drink it. April refused to take it, saying that once the drink is on the table, it's yours.The food was average to poor. The wait and prior service left a bad taste in our mouths in general. ...my friend wanted to leave sooner and I am stubborn and optimistic. The thing that sticks out in my mind.... is the head chef/owner... and assumed co owner April ... saying that we could take the cost of the horribly prepared drink out of the hard-working staff's tip.There were 3 altercations with the head chef/owner at the end. I asked April if she would remove the line item of the drink. She said that we could reduce the tip and that once the drink is on the table, it's ours. I then asked the waitress to address the line item and went to the bathroom. During that time, the head chef/owner came out and apparently berated my friend. Upon returning to the table and being informed of this by my friend and the neighboring table, I returned inside to inquire about the conversation. Head chef/owner comes out and is initially polite. The conversation took a turn. I returned to our table. Head chef/owner comes out and slams an updated bill on our table. My friend immediately left. I stayed and listened for a while and then said goodbye to our neighboring table.I don't know what is going on with them personally... but the quality of this place has decreased significantly.Edit: a former employee reached out via Facebook message after reading my review and explained that they were treated awfully and was told that they didn’t get tips.4 years ago: I've been here a couple times for Monday brunch. Never disappoints. Service and food are always on point. The creativity in the dishes and drinks is always a pleasant add on to the experience.

We love this place so much we now regularly drive two hours to eat here. The cake will change your life. Don't skip it. The servings are HUGE, and I've never had a meal I didn't like.Things to know that to me add so much charm:-The menu changes every day, no, you can't see it ahead of time.-It's tiny, cozy, and intimate.-If you want to be seated right when they open, you'll have to join the line outside which usually forms 30-45 minutes before opening. Even in the winter months.-The cake is a homemade family recipe. It's actually perfect.-All the staff are so friendly. We always love seeing our server!Highly, highly recommend.

My experience was absolutely terrible. The service, the food, and the so called owner were the worst. We waited an hour to be seated and another hour and a half to be served. My friend insisted on staying for her birthday brunch. We were asked how we liked our drinks and I told the server I didn 't like mine and that I wasn 't going to finish it, so she could take it away. She refused, and also refused to give her name. But we figured out that it was April. They took that as we wanted a refund and the owner came out yelling. Not once but twice. My friend was in the restroom when he came out so she confronted him. He came back a third time, yelling, and this time name calling, but with a refund for the $13 drink , as if that was the real issue here. He literally berated two women who decided to support his business. Several people sitting near us were also complaining about the disrespectful service, and I can see by the reviews that this is an ongoing issue with this establishment. Good thing they 're closing soon. You don 't deserve to have a small business supported by the community with an attitude like that. Good riddance!

I love coming to the Noble for brunch every time I can. They have a static menu as well as new specials every day. The staff is super friendly. Be prepared to wait, as they’re extremely popular. But it’s worth the wait!Food: 5/5

Delicious food, extremely long long wait.Went for Monday brunch, arrived before it opened and waited 30 mins to get in and another hour and a half for food.Attentive service, came by multiple times for drink refills and ambiance was unique and enjoyable.Small layout, not many tables so if you don't get in on the first round you could end up waiting hours.Food and drinks were delicious and eccentric, menu changes for a fun and exciting meal.Photos:Biscuit and gravyBrisket omelette with cheesy hash *specialSteak faux beneditBarbie **** mary *specialRum Chatta coffe *special
