Having been to Generations frequently over the past few years, we will not return again. Over the past few months, the quality of the service and the food has declined. During our past two visits we have experienced a change in the flavors of the food. What once appeared to be fresh and made in the Resturant has taken on... More

We have been here dozens of times over the years, and have never been disappointed. Their menu staples are well done and always a treat. Then there are the items that rotate through the menu monthly.. those are creative and fun treats that you should get while you can. The small selection of beer taps is well chosen, and their...

The food, service and atmosphere is amazing. Keep doing it please! I don't like driving to Milwaukee for great food.

Great scallops ,creamy risotto and perfect asparagus. Key lime pie is good as well. Iwas watching the olympics when a local came in and demanded it be changed to the game. Paid my check and rushed back to my hotel so i could see them.

We visited the area last night on a whim...we viewed their website two days prior to our visit, and decided that the menu looked fabulous and there were many things we could eat (I have many dietary restrictions plus we are both vegetarian! AND I am very picky). We made reservations but arrived almost an hour early due to the... More

The smaller food choices allow for not only sampling, but sharing of selections. An intimate way to get to know your date even better! We love the deco, and the service. Make sure to check this one out.

Generations is such a great addition to downtown Waukesha. Not a huge menu, but a damn good one! We go in for lunch during the week and it is quiet, so it is a good time to have a work meeting or take a break from your day. Try the spinach strawberry salad, corn chowder, and french onion soup for... More

I attended Generations on this past Friday night and had an excellent time. It was exceptionally busy, but the food and the drinks were amazing. I highly recommend the lettuce wraps and the bahn mi, and the drink the mooncusser. I also loved that when I walked into the door I met the owner immediately and she was very helpful... More

First time to this place and it was not a good experience. We stopped in the during the first Friday night live while the Les Paul celebration was going on. They had a limited menu and I thought that was good, keep it simple in an effort to keep things flowing in the kitchen right? Wrong!!! We sat outside on... More

We followed Trip advisor for a place to go to---found Generations. On the corner (easy to find for Waukesha). Modern environment. Very helpful staff. Slightly pricey- but very flavorful. Blackened fish, lettuce wraps, and flour-less brownie==excellent. Would recommend!
