About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Great for creative cocktails
Milwaukee's premier steakhouse, Carnevor is one of Wisconsin’s most acclaimed fine dining destinations. A restaurant consistently topping year-end “Best Of” lists, Carnevor has been lauded for its variety of culinary tastes – from our luscious barrel-cut beef to mouthwatering New York Strips and bone-in fillets. Our steak menu offers exquisite wet- and dry-aged USDA prime beef – a distinction afforded to less than two percent of all American beef – as well as daily selections of the coveted Wagyu imported from Japan. And with a wine list featuring more than 750 selections, you’ll always find the perfect bottle to uncork with your meal. But it’s not merely the “meal” you’ll enjoy at Carnevor. It’s the entire experience: service, music, menu, and more. To top it all, herbivores are always welcome.

    Carnevor was an absolutely fabulous dining experience last night! Pre-dinner cocktails at the bar were served to perfection and goodness, the style the mixologist bartenders threw down was top notch! Well done Danielle and Corynn!!! And not to be outdone, Dianna was absolutely spectacular as our guide through wine and dinner. I know "server" is kinda the term but that would be a horrible understatement for the style, professionalism and magnificent assistance with dining choices Dianna provided all with absolute flare and a fun attitude that made the evening at Carnevor an wonderful, memorable experience! Thank you! Oh and the steaks were amazing... thank you Chef Giuliani and all your kitchen staff!!!

    Hadn’t been in awhile. The experience didn’t feel as special as it should for this level of steak place. Attentive service. Sides were average. Steak salty. One bone-in filet had to get seared more for missing med rare request. Busy for a Wednesday which I liked.

    Our server, Michael, was absolutely amazing and made our 1st Wedding anniversary very special. The food was fantastic and one of the many reasons we plan on coming back every year to celebrate our anniversary. Worth every penny spent.

    I brought my son here for his 22nd birthday. We were seated in the back room, which felt like an afterthought. Our neighbors next to us were pretty loud and rowdy. We waited forever for drinks because the bar was backed up. I brought it up to the hostess, and she was pretty dismissive. The comp’d our drinks, which was nice but for the cost of the restaurant  I think I’d only return if it was for business and picked up by an expense account. I had never been before and it was a special treat. Was really looking forward to it and couldn’t wait to get out of there.

    I’m not going to a restaurant of this caliber for a great value. There are plenty of those out there. I am going for amazing service, superior quality and superb flavor in every morsel. And this restaurant delivers on all 3 !!!! The menu was even customized with a message regarding our special celebration that evening. What a lovely touch.

    Gina is the best server on the planet. You have to request her. She knows the menu like the back of her hand and will make the best recommendations for you if asked. 10 out of 10!
