Summer’s rolling in, and these salads are showing off! Our Caprese Salad layers burrata, heirloom tomatoes, pistachio pesto cream, micro basil, balsamic glaze, and extra virgin olive oil for peak‑season freshness in every bite. And, our Strawberry Fields Salad combines spring mix, strawberries, candied walnuts, red onions, and raspberry vinaigrette that's bright, sweet, and made for warm Wisconsin days. One a little savory, and one a little sweet; it's the perfect duo!

We’re hiring at The Informalist—join our kitchen team!

Currently, we're seeking a Line Cook, Prep Cook, and a Kitchen Steward. We're looking for candidates who take pride in their work and value being part of a thoughtful, team-driven kitchen. Our approach is rooted in quality—scratch-made dishes, well-sourced ingredients, and attention to detail at every step.

Whether you’re working the line, prepping for service, or keeping the kitchen clean and organized, each role is essential to delivering a great guest experience. It’s a fast-paced environment built on consistency, collaboration, and respect for the craft.

Experience is a plus, but a strong work ethic, reliability, and a willingness to learn go just as far. If that sounds like a good fit, we’d love to connect!

We are celebrating AAPI Heritage Month with dishes born in, and inspired from, the islands of Hawai’i. The modern day cuisine of our 50th state is made up of a symphony of Asian and Pacific Island flavors. From refreshing Ahi Poke Nachos to classic Kalbi Short Ribs with forbidden rice or Miksoyaki Butterfish with soba noodle salad, our Outlet Manager, Sanoe, has curated these specials to share a piece of her home with you. Available through the end of May!

A portion of sales of these specials will be donated to Aloha United Way, a Honolulu-based nonprofit that supports community health, education, and financial stability. Visit their website at AUW.org for more information or to make a donation!
