Excellent meal fantastic food, even though service was a little shaky couple times forgetting things which actually worked out well the last item because we had plenty and didn't need the chicken on top of everything else. Of which everything we had I would order again and feel like would be the same for anything else on the menu...

First visit was enjoyable. The food is of great quality, fresh, and nice presentation but overall I was not impressed. I enjoyed my meal and the service I received but there was not much wow factor with the food. I did not care much for the BBQ carrots because that amount of spice on an empty stomach was not fun. The crème brûlée was especially disappointing - it wasn’t smooth and was quite chunky. I normally have no problems finishing my dessert but I did not care to finish mine.

A Delightful Culinary Experience.... Story Hill BKC is a gem tucked away on Bluemound Road, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere and a menu that celebrates the bold flavors of the Upper Midwest. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with genuine hospitality and a clear passion for their craft. We visited for brunch and were impressed by the creativity and quality of the dishes. The smoked trout toast was a standout—perfectly balanced and beautifully plated. The seasonal quiche was rich and flavorful, and the house-made pastries were fresh and indulgent. Their wine selection is thoughtfully curated, and the bottle shop adds a unique touch to the overall experience. The ambiance is cozy yet modern, with just the right amount of buzz to make it feel lively without being overwhelming. It’s clear that Chef Joe Muench and the team have put a lot of heart into this place, and it shows in the details—from the locally sourced ingredients to the artful presentation. Why not five stars? i personally have had better quality brunch / breakfast else where in Milwaukee Overall, Story Hill BKC is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy inventive, regionally inspired cuisine in Milwaukee. Whether you're grabbing a bottle of wine or settling in for a full meal, it’s a place that delivers on flavor, atmosphere, and charm. We’ll definitely be back—hopefully with a reservation next time!

I reserved a party of 8 in their private room to celebrate my birthday. Not only was the service attentive and friendly, the food was incredible. Everyone said their meal was perfect. The cocktail flight was absolutely the right choice! I cannot wait to come back and visit.

Loved the crepe monsieur! Anything with their pulled ham that they make in house is amazing! I also appreciated that they were able to accommodate my reservation request after I had some challenges with Resy. Great service too.

Great meal, great staff would recommend to anyone/everyone visiting the area. Probably the best meal I've had all year and priced far better than the other very high end restaurants in the area. If you're going with a group of larger than 4 I would probably make a reservation just make things easy on the staff for planning their seating. Dishes consumed by my wife and I include: crayfish rangoon, potatoes au gratin, elote, veal ribs and the twin mushroom hand pies. Dessert was peach cobbler. Apologies that some of the food in he photos is partially consumed but we forgot we were taking pictures a couple of times in our excitement

This has been on our list for a while and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed every dish we ordered and the communal sharing options available for the table. Unique ingredients and flavor profiles that weren’t too intimidating. Try the whipped feta, escargot and the rabbit. It was also incredible to be somewhere with a full bar and n/a options. I enjoyed having a latte since it was cold out.

Food was beyond delicious. I got the chicken sandwich and couldn't believe how good it tasted! Bloody Mary was intoxicatingly good. Sat at the bar and Annie was absolutely wonderful. She even laughed at my jokes! Will definitely be going back for another delicious bite.
