The Downtown Kitchen meets the dining and catering needs of leading businesses in Milwaukee’s premier Class A corporate building, the US Bank Center. It is a meeting place unlike any in Milwaukee—a place where the speed of modern business merges with the warmth, craft and professionalism of the Bartolotta Restaurant brand.

The client was focused on the guest experience, with a variety of seating options to make the space inviting and comfortable for everyone. The space needed to be flexible and open but also offer intimate spaces where guests could dine alone or work outside of the office. A stark black-and-white palette keeps the aesthetic simple and classic, which is true to its brand. Kahler Slater services included brand/concept definition, brand identity, main identification signage, menu signage, wall graphics, naming services and interior design.
