Judging from the hight of the weeds growing before the tables outside and the nature of things inside the restaurant, I'm guessing the "Thursday" in question was a few weeks ago. However, I can't find an article about this on OMC and I was wondering if anyone knew what happened. I'm sad for Elliots and its proprietors.

I still like their food, but unfortunately, I won't be able to go there again.The Wicked Hop has some great food and drinks, but the service leaves something to be desired. The customer service I received last Saturday night from both our waitress and the on-duty manager will ensure that I will not be returning to this restaurant. Lets' just say, (because Onmilwaukee.com won't let me tell you the whole story), everyone in my party was shocked and dumbfounded by the treatment we experienced. A word to the wise: When the kitchen makes a mistake, it is up to the waitstaff and, if necessary, the managers to make it better, NOT worse. It's really too bad because the food is quite good, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

This was not the case.The food was sub-par, the tostones were dry and not flavorful, the chips and salsa were good, but expensive, the drinks were good, but the signs posted everywhere about the "you pick Happy Hour: 2 for 1 deal" did not say that it only applied at the bar, NOT when you are there to eat dinner. I felt that was false advertising on their part, but the bar tender refused to give us the deal when we called her on it.AND I just saw an ad for this very drink special in Milwaukee Magazine, and their lame stipulation is nowhere to be found.Atmosphere is weird, too busy for my taste, some of the diningroom tables & chairs were literally falling apart, but our waitress was nice.If you want great caribbean food and drink in a posh but unpretentious atmosphere, don't waste your money at Edgar's, go to Bosley's on Brady instead. Better food & venue about the same $$, and no Tom-Foolery on the drink specials!
