Had an awesome lunch yesterday before my trip back to Chicago. The tuna was super fresh, the shrimp dish had a nice kick to it and my soup was full of flavor and fresh veggies. Great customer service looking forward to visiting again.

Very nice dining establishment that sits on the river across Am Fam Amphitheater on Summerfest grounds. Very popularv place on the weekends, often with locals performing live music. The new dinner menu is great, and you can’t seem to go wrong with whatever combo you choose for the three course dinner. My buddy and I both had the excellent New England Clam Chowder. Plate two, I had the Seared Tuna Tower, and he, the Maryland Crab Cakes. Both were very good. For our final dish, he had the Lobster Ravioli and I, the Lemon Pepper Seared Mahi Mahi. The Old Bay seasoning on the fries are a treat. I probably enjoyed one too many Eagle Park drafts, which was like drinking a combo of the old Hi-C Ekto-Cooler, Mello Yellow, and a splash of beer. It was refreshing and got me drinky before I knew it. We capped off the night with a couple of cans of Old Milwaukee. Everyone there was friendly and jovial.

The look of the place and the staff that we interacted with were great!
For the most part, the food was very good. The burger was great, the lobster roll was full and a little messy (but worth it), salmon was good. The calamari with pepper rings added in was very good.
The couple negative items were the brussel sprouts – the ones that were cooked tasted good. The majority of the dish was very undercooked. The quinoa and brown rice salad was a little different served chilled. Maybe my preference, but I didn’t care for that.
If you want very good food and beverages in a cool location, get to the Milwaukee Sail Loft! I don’t think you will be disappointed – I have some ideas of what to order for my next visit!

I had the best experience at Milwaukee Sail Loft! Sofia was our bartender and she was so attentive and personable. We also conversed with Lexi and she was just outstanding! I had the bacon wrapped scallops and they were AMAZING! I can’t thank these two enough for helping take my date night to the next level. Top tier service.

Lobster roll was solid. The steak was covered in garlic butter which is always a plus. The clam chowder was the best dish by far. Cocktails are good and strong. Great location great service, average food.

Had been meaning to visit for a number of years. Finally took the plunge! Was a perfect 70°F fair weather August evening for al fresco dining here on a Tuesday (not busy). I had the mahi mahi tacos and a glass of rosé. My father was with me and had the fish fry and a small salad with a bloody mary. We had a GREAT TIME! Wonderful place to boat watch too. I would love to come back!
Recommendations to other people to make your experience great: I STRONGLY recommend to make reservations if it’s the weekend before trekking here so you wont be waiting an hour.
Also, beware that parking is much harder to come by if there is a festival at the Summerfest grounds or 3rd Ward has a street festival. Parking is on the street, however there are other parking lots you would have to pay to have a spot.

We held our rehearsal dinner at Sail Loft and it was a genuinely lovely setting for the night before our wedding. The staff was extremely responsive — they answered every question we had (and we had a lot!), both ahead of time and during the event itself. Their flexibility and willingness to help made planning much easier.
The food was pretty good and our guests enjoyed it, though one note for future planners: they ran out earlier than we expected even though we intentionally ordered more than our guest count required. Nothing disastrous, but worth factoring into your planning.
If you’re planning to use their AV equipment, know that the setup is minimal and connecting to the projector took us quite a while. A little more infrastructure or guidance there would go a long way.
All that said, the location is hard to beat. On a warm, romantic summer evening, Sail Loft is exactly the kind of place you want to be celebrating with friends and family — great views, great vibe, and a memorable atmosphere. Overall, a good venue with a lot of charm.

We hosted a company event here in the back room. The catered food was well accepted by the group. Everything was pretty good.
The space is beautiful and looks out on the water. The back patio is also really beautiful with a good view.
