Fratellos Waterfront Restaurant wins design awards
Wisconsin Builder likes Fratellos Waterfront Restaurant.

Fratellos Waterfront Restaurant, designed by Kahler Slater, in Milwaukee's Third Ward has been named one of the "Top Projects of 2008" by Wisconsin Builder magazine and was honored with a Silver Award from the American Society of Interior Design -- Wisconsin Chapter competition.

Milwaukee's is the fifth Fratellos location for the Oshkosh-based hospitality operator, the Supple Group. It opened in April 2008. While each restaurant has its own unique design, all have a connection to a waterfront; in this case, the Milwaukee River.

The restaurant's curved walls and paths are reminiscent of waves of water. VJS Construction Services of Pewaukee, served as the general contractor.

The 8,500-sq. ft. restaurant is located on the main floor of a mixed-use building at 102 N. Water St.

"We are honored to have won these awards," said Jay Supple, CEO of Supple Group. "Congratulations go to the entire team for making this project a tremendous success."

The project will be featured in the special May issue of Wisconsin Builder magazine.

We think Fratello's is great all the way around. Great drinks during an excetional happy hour, and one of the best FRESH perch fish frys in Milwaukee.

Unfortunately the design is the only thing this establishment has going for it. The menu is ridiculously expansive to the point that it swings from Asian to Cajun food with no focus whatsoever. This is quite evident in the quality of the dishes which are mediocre at best. I'd rate the service as average but in 'fine-dining', which I certainly don't want to classify this establishment as, average is not sufficient.

I've been there twice. HORRIBLE service and I thought the parking guy was trying to steal my car. He was in a sweatshirt and shorts and I had no idea he was linked with the restuarant nor did I know there was a fee for parking in their marked lot. I told the host about my concern that some kid was asking for my money for parking and she just laughed. I was on the patio and had to go in and get my drinks because they never arrived. I love the design and location of the restuarant. I just don't believe Fratello's will be there long if they don't get their act together. Extremely unprofessional staff. But way to go Kahler Slater. At least it looks good :-)
