We had dinner with our 2 adult sons in February 2022 and had an amazing experience. We returned this February and wondered if it would be as good? Absolutely. Great dinner! The steaks melt in your mouth and are cooked to perfection! Service was too...notch, attentive but not overbearing. Our server, Thor, was the best.More

We sat at the bar and were waited on momentarily. Loved the Girard red Zin! But the Happy Hour Red wasn't too bad either. We shared the Octopus and Salmon and each had a salad. Very crisp salad and yummy protein. And it was funny...watching the people coming and going.More

I love the Pfister Hotel, in Milwaukee, and was excited to try Mason Street Grill, for dinner. I ordered the chopped salad, with the dressing on the side. My husband ordered the gumbo soup. The soup was lukewarm, and my dressing was mixed in the...salad. My husband requested a hot bowl of gumbo, however the second bowl was also lukewarm. Our server was nice, but the food is pricey and appears to be mediocre, at best. We probably won’t go back.More

Dined here for Christmas Eve as we have traditionally done for many years. Greeted by very unfriendly hostess who told us our table wasn't ready as we were 15 min. early. I had to ask to have her check our coats. We came back in...15 min, and were ignored. When we asked when our table was ready, we were told we would receive a text (even though we were standing right in front of the hostess stand). Text came and she led us to a table near the door when it was below zero outside, so we asked for another table. She reluctantly led us to another table and did not say a word, but rather gestured with her hand that it was our table. She then walked past and glared at us. I asked the server if the chef could prepare the sea scallops in such a way to avoid the cream sauce. I was told that it was "premade" and therefore the chef could not. After checking again, the chef said he could saute the spinach instead of serving the creamed spinach. He totally missed the point. I was asking for a preparation without any cream in the sauce or other items on the plate. Most chefs have ideas on how they can use ingredients they already have for other dishes and substitute the protein, which is what chefs have done at this same restaurant before. I ordered the twin lobster tails which were listed as 5 oz each for $62 rather than the scallops which were $40ish. The tails arrived with nothing else on the plate. They were maybe 3 bites each. Very disappointed. On the way out, there was no one at the hostess stand, so after waiting about 5 minutes, I retrieved our group's coats on my own. Then the hostess came out and glared at us again. My husband tried to talk to her, and her reply was "I'm sorry you feel that way sir." over and over and over to any comment he made. She was robotic. We dined at the Harbor House the week before and had a totally different experience. Prices are similar except you get 2 sides with your protein included. Much better experience! I would avoid Mason Street Grill.More

Recently had dinner here pre-show at Milwaukee Repertory. Had an absolutely fantastic experience! Started with Thai Mussels -- WOW! If you like flavor and mussels, these are a MUST!! I opted for the Herb Crusted Halibut and my husband had Filet. Both dishes were cooked...to perfection. SOOOOO GOOD! Our server was welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive (but not overly so). If you're looking for a steakhouse with a great drink and wine menu, this is the spot!!More

Went to the Happy Hour last night with friends. Good crowd for a Monday. Nice, live jazz playing. We have gone to here multiple times for the happy hour. Wine, beer and rail drinks at a good price. We always enjoyed the half price appetizers....The food is good quality, but they now charge full price. Unfortunately, this puts the Mason Street Grill on par with lots of other places in town. The place is an easy walk, but at the new price point, it will not be a go to destination.More

Everything we ordered was delivered to the table perfectly. The scallops were delicious, and the fried clams were easily the best I have ever eaten. There was lovely jazz music to set the stage for a great dining experience.

We had a charming dinner at Mason Street Grill in the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. The food was deicious, the hostesses and servers were charming and professional. The decor was mediocre and it was a mob scene. So it was high energy. The drinks were...very good. It is in the iconic Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee on Wisconsin Avenue.More

Great jazz trio as background music for a classy, understated restaurant and bar. Crab cakes excellent, starters that could pass as entrees, and friendly staff and service. Highly recommended!

Better make a reservation. Slammed on a Saturday night. We were fortunate to capture a reservation Sunday at 5:30p. As we’re from Chicago, I would rate their filet as comparable to Morton’s! We added brussel sprouts and over ordered mashed potatoes, each side serving enough...for 3 (possibly 4). Barrel Aged old fashioned was mixed PERFECTLY. Our server, Olivia, was very sweet and welcoming. Hutch also stopped by to check on our meals … wonderful touch to ensure customer satisfaction with steaks.More

We were there for my birthday… And it was fabulous! Our waiter was Kasey and he did everything right. The hostess was also warm and welcoming and we were able to get it immediate seating despite not having a reservation on a Thursday night at...7 o’clock. We started with the lamb meatballs which were dense and flavorful. The mint pesto was Not overpowering. Main course and dessert were out of this world!

We booked MSG for a special occasion but were left very disappointed. The shareable starters were fine but we waited over 90 mins for the entrees. When they arrived the steaks were all overdone, the sides were barely warm and the fish was tasteless. Good...wine selection but over priced and would not return to or recommend this placeMore

I work say no but I would go with a comfortable country club casual. This way you are not under or over dressed. No sweats or baseball hats.
