Not a soft open. High Stakes on Water Street is pitching 45-day dry-aged ribeye and a raw bar on night one. Curious who’s actually booking it — notes in the free letter: https://t.co/MY8LXDQlOD

@milwaukeemag These little dining notes are how half my Thursday plans start. Appreciate you keeping the quieter scoops in circulation.

@onmilwaukee Chefs brunch coverage that actually makes me hungry for dinner. Who’s on your must-sit list after a morning like that?

@rachelbernhard Nine new names and my fall calendar just sighed. High Stakes is the one I’m watching first — old Rumpus Room bones, new steakhouse ambition.

@UrbanMilwaukee “Wordly and chic” is doing real work here — Water Street needed a room with that kind of spine. Curious how the 45-day dry-aged ribeye eats on a loud opening week.

Issue 1 is live.

High Stakes dry-aged ribeye on Water Street — plus Il Ponte, WELA, Freshwater, and EsterEv when you want a sure thing.
