First time here and I will be back. From the beautiful and tasty drinks at the bar, to the friendly banter and guidance of our server, to the other team members walking around and assisting, this was a great experience. Such a variety of food and every plate looked like a masterpiece. I appreciated our server bringing over small plates with the entrees that we ordered so we could all try each others' dishes. Really good food and can't wait to try more.

Best *fancy* restaurant experience we have had. We chose to go a more expensive route, you could make 20-30 work. However, I definitely recommend spending 40-60 per person to experience everything there is to offer here. The food was flavorful and rich, the drinks were adequately strong and sweet, and everything was just presented so well! The server had a great knowledge of the menu and was able to answer all our questions, the bar served us until our table was ready (we arrived 15 minutes before opening), and the atmosphere felt as if we could buy a drink, sit by the fire, and spend an evening soaking up the moment. I honestly don’t have any complaints. We also got a desert, the tres leches trifle. Very delicious. I think the only thing to warn is if you are used to enormous portions and getting two meals for the price of one, this is not the place for you, unless you choose to save some for later. But no, it was amazing, well worth the price. Something everyone within the budget of 40-60 dollars a person should aim to do while you’re in the Waukesha area. We got a reservation at 5, so I cannot tell you what the walk in experience is like, but this is a restaurant you plan for. And plan for having a great meal, paired with a great atmosphere and drinking experience.

New Waukesha gem! A must try! Brunch was a huge hit! Best Bloody Mary in town hands down. Coffee flights, all the food was plated beautifully and the flavors were so unique and melded so well. Chilaquiles were a table favorite! Brazilian bread was so good. Atmosphere was colorful yet cozy. Service was top notch with Chef Martin stopping by every table to get feedback. Fantastic unique addition to Waukesha!

I don’t understand why this place isn’t packed during every weekend brunch. I’ve been 5-6 times and have been thrilled with every experience. The food is inventive and always delicious. (The Carne Asada Chilaquiles Haystack, Black Bean Tostadas, and Hot Chicken Benedict are all winners). The service is friendly and courteous. The ambiance is light, bright, and inviting. Even the view is a plus, as you can people watch through the large corner windows. If you’re thinking about it, GO! You won’t be sorry.

We went to Travieso Latin Fusion for a birthday celebration dinner tonight. We started with the Mischief Margarita and the monthly Community Cocktail. They were both SUBURB! We then had the chorizo stuffed mushrooms and the cheddar biscuits (which was technically a side dish but we ordered it as a starter). They were both very flavorful and exquisite! Then for our entrees we had the blackened salmon and the scallops. Both of these were excellent. The service was impeccable. Highly recommend!

We were in the area and wanted to stop for a drink and appetizer at the bar. Amazing craft cocktails, , then ordered the Beef Birria Egg Rolls, YUM, unique delicious flavors. We decided to get a table. The rest of the menu did not disappoint! Street corn risotto w/shrimp, burratta salad, walleye fish fry my husband said was the best he has had. Highly recommend! Service was excellent too

We met Martin, the chef and owner, when he won at Dumpling Fest. His dish was very good and fantastically interesting, and we were intrigued to learn he had just opened Travieso in Waukesha where we live. Our first dinner was tonight and we will be back. The menus, both food and drink, are very diverse, imaginative, and creative. Martin blends regions and styles in creative ways but without feeling forced or jarring. Can't say enough about it! UPDATE Brunch 9-30-23, first time for this service and it was awesome, very highly recommended.
