It’s been over four years since guests last tasted the Sicilian dishes from longtime Milwaukee restaurant Giovanni’s. But all of that changes with Safina: a new casual Italian concept that comes to the historic building at 785 N. Jefferson St.Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible. The restaurant also features a full bar and second-level seating, complete with wood and marble finishes that highlight the rustic, modern Italian ambiance.

    We had a great experience at Oak Barrel Public House on Saturday, March 8, 2025. We had a 6:30 pm reservation but arrived early at 5:50 pm because of the Bucks game and the Shamrock Shuffle, which had closed off streets and created large crowds. Despite being early, the staff was very accommodating. They even had a table ready for us earlier than expected, and we were seated with minimal wait time. The place was packed with Shamrock Shuffle participants, but the service remained attentive and friendly. Even with the busy atmosphere, we never felt overlooked. Unfortunately, they were out of my first choice, the Whiskey Bacon Chili ($8.99), but I went with the Pulled Bacon ($13.99) instead — bourbon cider braised pulled bacon with Kentucky bourbon sauce, flame-roasted jalapeño corn pico, and pickled red onion. It turned out to be a great second option — rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. Person #2 had the Chicken Caprese Wrap ($16.99) with fries, which they said was tasty and light without feeling heavy. Person #3 ordered the Oak Barrel Signature Wings ($17.99), but they were also out, so they opted for the Buffalo Chicken Wrap ($16.99) with fries and were happy with the choice. While it was surprising that two of the three of us couldn’t get our first choice so early in the evening, the positive service and quick seating made up for it. The table time limits were clear from the website, but we never felt rushed. Overall, a very positive experience — we’d definitely return!

    The steak was very well cooked (medium rare but on the rarer side) and the potatoes were good. The bistro is in the lobby of the hotel, so it has the potential to be loud depending on the day. It was nice and quiet while I was there
