Nestled in the heart of Milwaukee’s emerging Harbor District, The Bridgewater Modern Grill reflects its presence on the historic Kinnickinnic River with a specially crafted menu that explores the essence of fire in fine food. Our seasonally-driven kitchen, founded around a custom, oak-fed Jade grill, features cooking techniques showcasing the flame in all its forms, finished with contemporary elements.
