Welcome!
Here at Balzac Wine Bar, we dedicate ourselves to bringing our guests a “dynamic dining experience in a casual, but elegant atmosphere.” Wait, what does that mean? It means: yes, we have chandeliers, loads of wine, gorgeous fabrics, and Riedel crystal. It also means we play all kinds of music, have a wonderful and laid-back staff, and strive to keep things fun and lively. No stuffy wine-obbery!
That said, our killer wine list – updated several times per month – offers selections at all price points. Always. On Wednesdays, come in for half off all half bottles – a perfect opportunity to try new wines on a budget.
(*Voted Best Wine List 2010/2011 OnMilwaukee)
Our seasonal menu concentrates on small plates meant to be shared. House favorites include our famous decadent Sac Mac & Cheese, Duck Nachos, Tuna Tartare, Firecracker Shrimp and Mushroom Napoleon, as well as delicious artisan pizzas. We take special care to add items that tempt the seasonal palate, such as OxTail Pot Pie, Lamb Shank and Cauliflower Gratin.
*Most items between $6 and $11.
Bring your parents or bring a blind date. Sit at the bar solo or call us for a reservation for a party of any size. No matter what the occasion, you will enjoy yourself.
Thank you for your patronage!
Leslie Montemurro, Scott Johnson and our great staff
