We stopped here for breakfast recently. The restaurant was very nice and well kept. We were promptly helped when we arrived. Ordered our food at the counter and went upstairs and sat on the balcony. A beautiful view for breakfast. The server brought our food up to us when it was ready. It was hot and plentiful upon arrival. Both my husband and I were very happy with the food. We will stop here again the next time we are in Milwaukee.

Fantastic service, great people but unfortunately mediocre food. From the daily Mexican entree to the soups that stick around for a few days at times—there’s definitely room for significant improvements. Every Monday (and usually Tuesday) the same chicken is portioned as part of Ofielia’s Mexican food for burritos, followed by enchiladas, quesadillas or chimichangas. It’s understandable as chicken is one of the cheapest proteins on the market but they sincerely need to get off the chicken and pork Mexican entrees as often as they’re served. The chicken is dry, tasteless and deserves a grand exit from the mainstay lunch entree selection.

I was here for a convention and the walk was well worth it! Better quality food, excellent service and a variety of offerings. I'm from New York, and I'm used to well oiled machines when it comes to Deli's. Waterfront deli does a lot of things right and has a fun atmosphere

Well, I had my first bad experience as I stupidly strayed from a salad or sandwich and tried their chicken enchiladas. Brutally honest opinion... never put those back on the menu. First of all, they were not enchiladas but burritos as they used flour tortillas. Second chicken was rubbery like it was boiled. And, who puts green peas in a Mexican (actually was more TexMex) dish? ***** Embarrassed to admit after over 15 years of frequenting Waterfront I'm leaving my first review for them. I cannot say enough about the deli. Everything is super good. Salads are fantastic and a great deal compared to other places around. Honestly their salads can feed 2 and not exaggerating. Their sandwiches are as solid as their salads. You cannot go wrong from soups to salads to sandwiches to th

The staff was really kind and makes some great sandwiches! I will definitely be back and hopefully with some time to check out the second floor next time!
