Rip Tide Seafood Bar & Grill offers, you guessed it, all of the water-based edibles, including salmon, crab, lobster, shrimp and more.
The Third Ward restaurant is located on Milwaukee's "inner harbor" and features a large deck that accommodates up to 130 people.
During the winter months, Rip Tide reduces its hours, but offers a variety of specials. Because of the lively, upbeat enviroment, Rip Tide is a kid-friendy restaurant.
Menu: Seafood.
Price: Moderate to expensive.
When to go: The outdoor seating is fantastic at Rip Tide, so going during the warm months is ideal. During the late fall and winter months, Rip Tide is closed Monday through Wednesday, but offers a Thursday night lobster special featuring a pound of lobster for $16.95.
Dress: Casual but nice.
Don’t miss: The Sunday brunch is $22.95 and features a buffet of snow crab legs, raw oysters, shrimp, crab cakes, scrambled eggs, chicken, fish, sliced meats, rice, salads, pastries and muffins. Eggs Benedict and omelets are available to order, too.
Parking: There is a parking lot next to the building, and a second lot across the street.
