Wonderful Mac and Cheese! THE BEST!

We went here for fish fry. We also had the Shrimp Chowder and truffles.The fish fry: although very delicious, could be seasoned better. I feel like a lot of places don't finish the batter off with salt once it is done frying. That being said, you could actually taste the beer flavoring and it was very light while the fish had big flakes and a beautiful texture. It didn't fall apart when you ate it.The chowder was hands down my favorite thing - it was creamy, salty, comforting, all things you look for in a chowder. It had a lot of shrimp in it! And not the small kind, medium sized. I am coming back just for this! And the mussels!The truffle was melt in your mouth perfect! You initially get hit with a coffee taste and then it just melts. Hands down one of the best truffles I have had.I can't wait to come back!!

This Walker's Point's spot is truly a hidden gem that you will have to check out at least once in your life. I see no other way around this. If you can, you must check this place out. It is that good and for some reason, this place is very dear to my heart even though I've been here only twice!One very important thing I want to mention about this place is that it feels different. Their working hours and days are relatively shorter than what you'd normally expect. It is one of those places that you will need to plan and want to go to in order to actually be able to go. Check their working hours and website before you plan on going. It is not something you can just normally stop by and be sure it is always open. This is a very personal and cozy experience.I will not be going into details about food choices here, mainly because the menu is always changing and it's hard to recommend something when I know it might not be there anymore. I think this is one of the things that I love about this place. It is always different and you know that the cooks are good enough that it's very hard to go wrong here.The one thing they're very famous for is their baked Mac n' Cheese dish. Its phenomenal. It is really good. I think it's been on the menu for a while without changing. I highly recommend this dish. You can add chicken to it if you want to.I know this will sound insignificant but I really loved their garlic aioli. I don't know if they always have it but If they do, get that on the side of whatever you are eating.The place itself is very dark. Not too small but not too big. You will be aware of people sitting next to you. Clean, comfortable, romantic but also family friendly (but not kids running around friendly), and smells like good food. The service was great. Helpful and patient and will help you choose if you have any doubts.Bathrooms are clean. Street parking is available.

Updated reviewI have lost count on the number of times Ive been here... but since Covid hit, and they opened for curbside pickup only.. and only a few days a week, i have made it my mission to help them through by ordering as often as I can. I have been eating Triskeles food since 2011 and have never had a bad experience or meal. Not one. For 9 years I have been eating here, but have only said a few words, if any, to the owners each time.. until covid hit. All of a sudden, my go to wasnt open... and i was so worried they wouldnt open back up. Was thrilled to see the curbside pickup re-opening! Jolinda and Lynn.... barely know you, but you feel like family... cant wait to be able to sit inside and eat again.

Very nice casual spot with good drinks, food, and service. I had the green Thai chicken curry and my wife had the steak and they were both excellent. The draft selection is good as well.

First time here. We ordered the cauliflower mac and cheese with bacon. It was ok, I thought it was to salty. We also ordered the blue cheese toast, we did like this, it was different.

Our favorite date night spot! Super cute, quiet atmosphere with friendly staff. The seasonal menu is always delicious. I've never had a bad experience at Triskele's.

Always amazing food. Eclectic and delicious. Adventurous ones should try chicken liver mousse.

What a delicious little gem. Great atmosphere and service, with amazing food thoughtfully prepared.

A lovely hidden gem that far predates the recent renaissance of Walker's Point. If you want to take a date to a place they have never heard of before (or impress them by being familiar with a place they only thought they knew of) then this is your spot. The food is outstanding, the taps and cocktails are well-curated, and the service is lovely. Triskele's is equal to the task of being a romantic date destination or a place to watch the Bucks extend their win streak among friends. Top marks, without qualification.

We were so disappointed with our servers and the owner (???). Even one star is too much. My wife found this place online and had great reviews, great menu and we decided to give it a shot. At 4:30 pm we were the ONLY people in the restaurant, sat down, and we were greeted by the not-to-friendly waitress who brought menus and let us know that they have a happy hour 4-6 on Saturday (??) which included some beer, house wine, and one plain burger and mac and cheese. We did not know there was a happy hour, but, we decided to order from the regular menu. We ordered two appetizers and two main courses, wanted bottle of wine, desserts, and after-dinner drinks, and ordered hamburgers and mac and cheese for our daughter who stayed home, sick. The server stated that they "can not do that" (order happy hour's mac and cheese), and she said that would be "like cheating, taking advantage of them and that she can not bend the rules". We wanted to know what the problem was since we had no idea about the special menu before she brought it to our attention, wanted to spend quite a few dollars, are already in the restaurant, ordered something from the specials menu that was valid till 6 pm, (which was an hour and a half away). The server said that if we do not believe that "this would be cheating", we should talk to the owner. We welcomed that hoping to talk to someone who was rational and who cared. The owner came all "pumped up" about the situation (as we were trying to cheat her into stealing mac and cheese that was about $7 on the happy hour menu) and before even greeting us or asking us about the situation started telling in a commanding tone that we can not take advantage of the situation. We could not even say anything, as she was being unreasonably unpleasant. We were very impressed that someone with such an attitude and a gross lack of people skills can be in hospitality services, much less running a restaurant. She was so adamant about this that she stated: "well if you find another place that would give you a happy hour on Saturday, you should find one, and let me know". Now, remember, we did not ask for it, the server brought it to our attention at 4:30 and we were the only people in the restaurant, wanted to spend about $150-$200 on the dinner and wanted to take simply mac and cheese to our daughter (who stayed home not feeling well). We tried to reason with this lady, but, she was in a stronghold, and almost steaming mad. At that time there was nothing else to say, other than, "thank you will cancel entire order", we paid the bill for two glasses of wine, and we went to another place, called "Braise", which was completely opposite the food was fantastic, servers were smiley, friendly, helpful, bartenders were fun, and the owner did what the owners do, greet the people and made us feel welcome. What a shame for Triskele, I simply can not recommend it to anyone because you never know how it will turn out. We rarely write bad reviews as we have deep appreciation for how difficult it is to run a business, but this was something we had to share online, because, it can happen to you can be embarrassing for you and your guests, as well. If you decide to go there, watch out for unpleasant waitresses, a lack of attention, and good luck dealing with the delirious owner... very disappointing... The good news is that Bay View has a lot of good restaurants, and this is definitely not one of them...

Consistently delicious food! And, great happy hour specials!

I've never left a review on Yelp before, but this place is worth it. It's amazing. We had muscles and went through 3 baskets of bread to soak up all the amazing juices. Followed it up with the fried chicken sandwich, which was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. Can't recommend this place enough! A must try!
