    We are from Seattle and wanted to take our aunt somewhere special in Milwaukee. The Pfizer hotel is absolutely beautiful inside and the staff were very nice. However, we ate brunch in the Pfizer Cafe and were not pleased with the quality of the food. The staff and service were very accommodating and thoughtful, but the food was disappointing. My husbands and I both had omelettes which were each flavorless, had few fillings and the eggs were dry and rubbery. My aunt had the Eggs Florentine, which she said were adequate but not outstanding. Each plate was minimal in terms of servings; biscuit on my plate was tiny. Eggs Florentine was very small and offered no other sides except fruit or potatoes. The food definitely did not meet the standard we expected from such a beautiful hotel.

    Normally a very good experience, this one was sub par. I had a couple sips of my soup and the entree arrived. No timing. The French 75 cocktail was served warm and seemed to be missing an ingredient. The waitress took my parking ticket to be validated but whatever was does did not work as I had to pay for parking on my exit.

    Food, service, etc was wonderful as usual. The place was, however, way too loud!
