Voyager — Restaurant in Milwaukee

I stopped into the Voyager for a couple of drinks on a balmy Monday night in March. With a modern, European vibe, Voyager was my kind of place. After a couple of vodka cocktails, I wanted to purchase a bottle of wine as I will do what I can to support local businesses. The patrons appeared to know each other, and they weren’t particularly kind to strangers. Of course, my age doesn’t encourage warmth from younger members of the human race. In this country, older people are scorned rather than revered. Maxwell was our bartender, and he was polite, attentive, but not very warm. Although, his warmth was awarded to others at the Voyager bar. I ended up buying a nice Chardonnay to take home. I tipped 20% on everything including the wine, but that didn’t appease Maxwell. I was a stranger in a strange land. However, I liked the Voyager, and I will return with expectations for a good drink and nothing more. The Voyager likes its locals to be between 25 and 38. Although I don’t fit the demographic, this is a cool place for Bay View and...

Beautiful new wine bar right where it should be, an excellent addition to the neighborhood, long overdue. When you're in the mood for a glass of wine and want to try some great ones, this is the place to go when you're in this part of town. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely come back. Our second server was knowledgeable and made great suggestions (our first server admitted he knew absolutely nothing when we asked him for recommendations and he went and got the other server to answer our questions). The bathroom selection is interesting - two WCs. No Men's, no Women's - just WC on each door (see photo). We did not try any of the food, so I can't say if this place is good for vegetarians or vegans. As I was walking out I glanced at the menu board and thought it said something about oysters, and they don't yet have a menu posted on the web anywhere I could find, but a newspaper review said, "...cheese and charcuterie, a few pates and snacks including marinated olives and spiced nuts." So make of that what you will. Reviewed...

A 10% covid -19 charge on all sales receipts, SERIOUSLY. I understand the need for businesses to recoup some loss from pandemic. But to show a 10% charge on purchases on the receipt that's just not right. I am all about getting out and supporting the businesses in Bayview again but not when you see things like this on the receipts, there are not a lot of businesses in this community that are doing this, matter of fact after talking to other businesses in the community I don't know of anything that are. I don't think it's the consumers responsibility to have to pay extra for the covid-19 pandemic because a business had to borrow money to...
