Beautiful in everyway possible. A+ to all employees. Excellent staff. Delicious food and drinks were served during a recent shower that I attended. Will definitely be recommending to others as well as for my next occasion!

We made a reservation weeks in advance for my 40th birthday which was accepted only to show up and be told the dark room only is set for large groups....we agregiously accepted to dine at the Aria I believe it's called assuming food would be the same as the rave reviews of the darkroom. Wow were we disappointed, service was slow and food terrible. Steaks were all cooked to incorrect temp and could barely cut with a knife. My wife's hedge/wedge salad so bitter/rancid it was inedible...I tried it myself and couldn't swallow it...dessets were on par with the whole meal. I was excited for weeks to celebrate a big day only to be left desperately disappointed.

We had a private dinner for Marcus hotels and resorts training in the dark room. It was a special experience I would never trade for anything. The service was outstanding. The menu was 20/10, lots of options to choose from even with a large party and customized smaller menu you would find in a normal sit down restaurant. You enter The Dark Room from a bookcase next to the yellow neon GIGGLY sign on the second floor of the Saint Kate Hotel.

This bar has a great range of wines, and the staff's expertise is highly acknowledged.. There is a wide variety of dishes offered, and what I had was made with high-quality ingredients. I recommend giving this a try if you're in the area as the price is very good for the size of the glass you get.

Very cool.

Worth finding this place, and better yet, figuring out when they are having events currently. Check the website and enjoy!

What a great dining experience! This restaurant is hidden away at Saint Kate, but it's worth finding. We went before a show at the Marcus Center. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable.

Elegant experience with fine dining and the absolute best service with delicious food. Nothing else like it in Milwaukee. They also nicely accommodated when we had only an hour before going to a show at the Marcus.

Such a nice night out with my husband. Can't wait to go again once we can be normal again. The waiter was nice and extremely professional. The only thing is that there's too much noise from the other side of the curtain.

I was brought to this steakhouse by a friend going back a few months. I don't spend a lot of time in Milwaukee, so I'd never heard of it. The day we came, I didn't have a taste for steak, which unusual for me! I ordered a wedge salad to start and a crab dish instead of steak and both were delicious. Everything was Fresh with great flavor. The atmosphere in this restaurant is very warm and dark but not too dark and cozy but spacious.Our server was very nice. Very attentive. Fabulous restaurant that I recommend when in Milwaukee.

This place is hidden on the second floor but is a great place for dinner. Dark and quiet, high level of service from the wait staff. Grass fed NY Strip was tender, tasty and cooked perfectly. One of the best steaks I’ve had. Cool lighted Menus, no need to use your iPhone light here. Great meal

I am finally writing this review, with the perspective of a pandemic and no in house dining. This was one of our last meals in a restaurant before the lockdown. The venue is hidden behind a bookcase, room dark, and quiet making great ambiance for conversation. The food was average with a very limited menu. We had the Amish chicken and sweet corn ravioli. We also had the root vegetable gratin which was quite terrible (vegetables way undercooked and quite salty). There was a lack of current wine inventory which made our drink order take some time. What was off was the service. At first, we did not realize the man who approached our table was our server. It was a very different interaction. Had he come back to check to see how everything was I would have sent back the gratin. I hope that they are surviving this tough time for the food industry. I would give them another chance due to the ambiance.
