My husband found his cod slightly undercooked and a bit greasy and soggy. After finishing his, he helped himself to my perfectly cooked fish and really enjoyed it. He also loved the potato pancakes. The service was good, though my second drink came after I had already finished my meal. The atmosphere was better than I remembered, though it did get quite loud near the bar. We're planning to come back soon to try the burgers.

He shared stories about the stunning artwork adorning the restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere lively, and the staff attentive. Silver Spring House is truly a Milwaukee gem. Thank you, Dave, for an unforgettable evening. #AlfafaAndSpankyDjs #yeahThatHappened

Family friendly as well, which has been great being able to bring our kids with us and enjoy the afternoon or dinner away from the house.

We arrived at 5:45 and there were very few patrons in the building. We were seated directly adjacent to the hostess station within 10 minutes of ourarrival. However it took 40 minutes for a waitress to come to the table for our drink order. Once our food order was taken (weordered burgers and fish), we did not see the waitress again. Finally, we were able to flag someone down. The gentleman said hefind the manager. Instead, he sent our waitress out. The only thing she said was it 's only been 20 minutes . We had been therewell over an hour at that point. We waited another 15 to 20 minutes. We decided to leave. We never saw the manager, or our food. We came hungry and left hungry and disappointed. This would not have happened when the previous owners were around. We will notbe going back.
