This place was AMAZING. We ordered lobster bisque, Mediterranean salad (which was so delicious and fresh) and the whole fish branzino which was some of the best whole fish we've had in Milwaukee (hard to believe right?)! It was grilled and served with your choice of sides. We got asparagus and grilled veggies. Soooooo sumptuous! The fish was like butter! Stuffed with lemons and spices. So delicious. We would highly recommend. The service is great. The atmosphere makes us feel like we are on the sea in Europe. You have to come!

Came in on a Friday night with my wife. Not packed at all and customer service was great. Our waiter was really good. The reason for the 2/5 is due to how long it took for our food to come out. We spent maybe an hour before we got our appetizers and food came out shortly. The appetizers and bread were good. We got fresh made lemonade, which were pretty average. The filet and crab legs my wife ordered was overcooked. Steak was not seasoned or had any flavor. The crab legs were chewy. I had the scallops and shrimp, which were good, but not a lot of food. For the price that I paid for both meals I don't think it was worth it. Save yourself the time and go to a well known steakhouse for a great meal if you're going to spend a lot of money.

I'm giving 3 stars because of the service and the payment method. First, let me say that the food was good. All the food. Usually at restaurants it will be the appetizers are great but the entrees are so-so or vice versa. But here it was surprisingly good all around. HOWEVER, considering the atmosphere here and the prices I was definitely expecting better service. It seemed very diner like, the servers didn't seem to be organized or attentive. The hostess seemed disinterested. If they are trying to cater to a specific clientele then they should really consider matching their service to that of Carnevor, which is a very well oiled machine. I also do not like how they've set up their payment method. As far as I'm aware, you are required to tip a minimum of 18% if paying with a card. If you pay with cash then it's up to you. I'm all for paying fair wages but this feels very shady, especially since you don't know what they're being paid.

Great food and atmosphere! Great wine selection to start off with! The mussels were good - first time trier so I can’t compare. The shucked oysters were delicious, they had mystic oysters when we were there! The Rockefeller oysters are *chefs kiss*- so good. I had the red snapper risotto (chef’s special) highly recommend. My partner had the bone in ribeye, it was a good fatty meaty steak - the flavor/seasoning is unique.Our waitress Raquel was delightful, personable and helpful with recommendations.Definitely will return!

We've been back several times. The food taste & presentation are impeccable. My wife & I have tried most of the seafood selections, with each one being perfect. The only item I've had twice ate the mussels as appetizers, both times cooked just right. The dessert specials have proved to be pleasant surprises to end or meal. The thing that really makes it special are the staff - truly nice people who want to make your experience special. Keep up the great work!

What a find! Beautiful atmosphere - so sunny and bright. The food was far beyond our expectations. Grilled calamari was tender and tasty. Salmon perfectly cooked. The highlight was one of the Chef's Specials: Brodetto Di Pesce. Tons of seafood and fish, and the sauce was spectacular! Quite a gem of a restaurant!

The scallop risotto and spicy curry shrimp risotto dish that was a special were both great. Recommended.

This was our first time at Adriatic. We found the restaurant easy to get to and plenty of parking. The establishment was clean, with nice décor but the music was a touch too loud to have a nice dinner conversation. The staff was the best part of our experience, being very professional and attentive. However, the food fell short, especially for the price point. At first appearance, the food was plated well and looked good, but the preparation on a couple of items ruined the dish. The Fried Sagonaki appeared to have more of a breading than a dusting of flour. This would not have been so bad but the breading was not seasoned and when we flipped it over there was raw flour/breading that we had to scrape off because it was not edible. Another entrée, the Pan Seared Halibut was overcooked, to the point that it too was not edible. It was dry, tough to cut and it did not flake in large pieces but rather small shredded-looking pieces. The kitchen was advised of this and the entrée was taken off of our bill, but it was still disappointing. The Steak Tartare appetizer was good and my companion said they enjoyed the Risotto with Scallops

Had a wonderful time at Adriatic Fresh Seafood & Steak. It offers a great dining experience with a beautiful environment, welcoming hospitality, and excellent food and wine selection. I can see it quickly becoming a staple of the area.

The restaurant design was beautiful and the staff were all friendly. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful time. The ONLY thing to work on is the king crabs were a tiny bit overcooked but oh was everything else just wonderful. THE DESERTS ARE AMAZING! We will definitely be back!
Had to have my oyster fix Adriatic fresh seafood and steak is the place to be! They also provide date card with no problem ?

We were Looking forward to trying this restaurant and suggested it to our friends. Went last night for the first and dare I say last time. While the place is convenient for us we will never go back. Ordered two of the things I love, halibut and Oysters Rockefeller. My husband had the scallops. If it had been just the two of us I would have sent them back. The halibut was so overcooked it was tasteless and the oysters weren't cooked enough. They tasted like an oyster with creamed spinach on top, not a crispy panko topping. I understand that it is difficult to find qualified staff these days but,If you're going to call this a seafood restaurant the chef needs to cook the seafood properly. For the price the food was unacceptable. I will also say for a Friday night in Lent, the place was not even half full.

Friendly staff. Bread and garlic olive oil dipping sauce was delicious. Calamari was nicely prepared. Had the scallops and risotto the scallops were seared to perfection and sweet. Also had snapper dish which was delicious we will definitely return.
