Sometimes you have to do that, though, to appreciate all of the nuances to the building. I'm glad we were given a chance to freely do that, but we all felt a little awkward walking around and standing near people eating their meal. After our waitress took our order she suggested we walk around and check the place out. It is a maze-like building with all kinds of nooks and crannies. Once we were in the restaurant we got to see what some of the hype was about.

We were greeted in a room that appeared to just be a small room. As we entered the establishment it started tantalizing our curiosity making us wonder what adventures and fun we'd experience for going to a "restaurant". I've heard about it for years including when it's been on food and travel shows. *I will not give away secrets in this review - the unknown is what makes it fun* I went with my wife, sister, & brother-in-law for the first time to the Safe House. Huh? We will think hard before we return on our next trip to town. 3 of 4 adults ordered "specialty" cocktails they the server refused to let us order another one because they need to use the same glass. The food (steak sandwich, chicken sandwich, French dip, and kids meals) were mediocre at best.

Once we were seated, it took a full 17 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us, and another 10 minutes past that to get drink orders even taken. We waited 15 minutes past our reservation time for our table (right inside the door - we could see it sitting set and ready from the time we got in). The service from the front desk once we got into the actual restaurant to the server for our table was terrible. I am hoping when I took my husband, kids and friends there this visit they were just having an off night. I used to go to the Safe House regularly when I was in college in Milwaukee in the late 90's.
