Lupi & Iris to celebrate 3rd anniversary on May 17
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (May 12, 2025) – On May 17, Chef Adam Siegel and his wife/business partner Daria Aitken-Siegel will celebrate the third anniversary of their renowned Lupi & Iris restaurant.
Lupi & Iris has been one of Milwaukee’s top dining spots since it burst onto the city’s culinary scene three years ago. Bucking the odds in an industry where 60% of startups fail within a year, Lupi & Iris has steadily gained customers – and critical acclaim – since its launch. Among its accolades are Top 10 recognition in the 2023 James Beard “Best New Restaurants” list; placing #15 in Yelp’s “Best New Restaurants of 2023” survey; being featured on Eater’s “Where to Eat 2024” list; and making virtually every “Milwaukee’s Top Restaurants” list since its opening. Additionally, the restaurant served as a filming location for last year’s Top Chef competition, with Chef Siegel as one of the show’s judges.
“We are thrilled to celebrate our third anniversary and are very thankful for the dedicated staff and loyal customers who have helped us reach it,” said Daria Aitken-Siegel. “Beyond that, we are thrilled to be a part of the rebirth of downtown Milwaukee – that has been a huge part of our success, as well.”
