• Fun theme, good food, great atmosphere.
• Not a full-course meal kind of place.

“The Safe House might be Milwaukee's best-kept secret, in part because there is no actual sign advertising the restaurant. In true secret-agent fashion, you approach the entrance down a (safe and well-lit) alley, stopping in front of the open door marked International Exporters. You'll need to know the secret password to gain entry in a trouble-free manner, but fear not- new rookie agents can also gain entry after passing a brief spy test to prove their credentials. This is all part of the fun, so enjoy yourself as you twirl like a ballerina or spin like a runway model to pass your test. You may find a surprise waiting for you once you've entered the restaurant proper through the (of course) secret sliding door. The inside of the Safe House is pure 1960s Bond. Red lights, alarms, mysterious green canisters shooting about, and CCTV monitors share wall space with spy posters and old Cold War relics. There are different sorts of martinis- shaken, not stirred- and a nice section of drinks. The food menu is a little thin, but also cheap- good for lunch or for a lighter dinner meal. Everything is well-made and served quickly (and thankfully, the food does not arrive in a plain brown envelope). Overall the Safe House is a great fun place for a quick meal or some after-work drinks. If you can track down the secret password (and some folks do seem to know it), you can impress your friends, and perhaps make them wonder just what kind of secrets you've been hiding from them all these years. (tuxedo, spy car, and Bond girl suggested, but not required)”
