Rip Tide Seafood Bar & Grill offers, you guessed it, all of the water-based edibles, including salmon, crab, lobster, shrimp and more.
The Third Ward restaurant is located on Milwaukee's "inner harbor" and features a large deck that accommodates up to 130 people.
During the winter months, Rip Tide reduces its hours, but offers a variety of specials. Because of the lively, upbeat enviroment, Rip Tide is a kid-friendy restaurant.
Menu: Seafood.
Price: Moderate to expensive.
When to go: The outdoor seating is fantastic at Rip Tide, so going during the warm months is ideal. During the late fall and winter months, Rip Tide is closed Monday through Wednesday, but offers a Thursday night lobster special featuring a pound of lobster for $16.95.
Dress: Casual but nice.
Don't miss: The Sunday brunch is $22.95 and features a buffet of snow crab legs, raw oysters, shrimp, crab cakes, scrambled eggs, chicken, fish, sliced meats, rice, salads, pastries and muffins. Eggs Benedict and omelets are available to order, too.
Parking: There is a parking lot next to the building, and a second lot across the street.

This was absolutely the worst of all worst Seafood places I have ever been to in my life. As well as horrible food it was extremely over priced and had horrible service. The food was so bland I think Long John Silvers surpassed Riptide's %100. I would highly suggest NOT going to Riptide's.

My office is a block away, and I still won't go there to eat. It's unfortunate that such a perfect setting has such bad food.

I actually opened an account just to write this and I never open accounts like this. I have been to Riptide 3 times. The only positive thing that I can say is that the location and building is great with good live music. I kept going back to Riptide because I had such high hopes but the truth is that they have probabally the worst service and the worst fish fry (that I have had) in Milwaukee. Seriously I am a big guy (250+) and I didn't even finish my meal which is really saying something. The second time I went back I had the crabcakes also and they were ok but not great. The one constant was the horrible service.

I've never been to a place that considers itself a seafood restaurant yet still puts imitation crab meat on their nachos. I've been there 3 times and have yet to get anything except bad service and below average food. Don't waste your time or money.
