Reviews for Von Trier in Milwaukee, WI
Attended an event in the back room. Excellent authentic German food (red cabbage would have been the perfect addition!)... Service was good, bartenders/ managers were very attentive. Read more
The only dining "rooms" are an outdoor patio or the small bar area. Not sure what they use the "Back Room" shown on the website... for, but we certainly were not allowed to eat in there. The staff was very friendly and the bartender was attentive. Ourserver on the other hand, not so much interested in serving. She was more interested in flirting with the male patrons at thebar and her male co-workers than paying attention to her customers. She rarely came to the table, and we spent much of theevening having to flag her over - which she still didn't see so her male counterpart had to point out we were looking forher. The food was a mix of good and disappointing. I ordered the Schnitz Bitz appetizer to go with my drink as I waited forthe rest of my party to arrive. They are described as being nuggets. What was brought to the table were - well not eventenders - they were like half of a flattened chicken breast. They were huge. Not an appetizer, and certainly barely shareablein this form. The flavor, however was excellent. Had they been what was actually described on the menu, they would have beenperfect. Maybe cut up a chicken breast to obtain the nugget size as printed on the menu. For dinner I chose theJaegerschnitzel. The description made this dish sound wonderfully flavorful so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, had there not been sauerkraut on the plate, there would not have been any flavor at all. Majordisappointment. Update: I became very ill for a few days and assumed it was just coincidence. However one of the other peoplein our group ordered the same thing I did, and I was informed he too became very ill for a few days. Not a good thing. Read more
Excellent place with excellent huge pints of german beers and cool cocktails. The espresso martini were so delicious I ordered 4... of them. I only tried the cheese curds but they also have other meals. Finally the ambiance and European inspired decoration isvery stunning. Friendly staff too. What else do you need ? Go. Read more
I have never written a review before, but I wanted to express how special this place was to me during the 4 years I lived in... Milwaukee. Truly a staple of the city. The German beer is unmatched, and that's coming from someone who spent some time inGermany. The Schwarzbier and Hefe Weiss are top tier. Their food is wonderful as well. Please keep this place alive.

Always a good time, one of the more intimate bars on North Ave when you're hanging with a group or date. Although it's a German... beer bar, the cocktails are great too. Read more
Get yourself to Von Trier. This is classic, 150+-year old German drinking hall. Great German and N. European imports on draft... and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Read more
This place is just as good as I remember it. Great food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. Love all the German stuff... in the bar/restaurant area. Read more
