Crazy Water

Posted in Restaurant by Jenny on the September 17th, 2006

Crazy Water is a small, okay “quaint,” restaurant but has great food and a nice wine list. It is a tiny house-turned-restaurant, and you can literally see the corner where all the food made. The kitchen looks smaller than most apartment kitchens, but there is apparently a prep kitchen in upstairs to help out. However, the food was great — especially the scallops. Even dessert was good, even though Chris was skeptical. Be prepared to interact with your fellow diners, especially if they are the friendly Milwaukee sort, because you are sitting very close to them. Also, make reservations because Crazy Water only seats 45 people, and it has been one of the few places in Milwaukee that has been packed the entire time we were there. 

Balzac Wine Bar

****

This is a great little place right off Brady Street and only a few blocks from our apartment. Large selection of wines, with fun flights to try. The menu is 1/4 cheese plates and has a nice variety of small entrée plates to pair with the wine and cheese.

Bacchus

A wonderful evening with the Roenbaugh family at Bacchus. Great wine list (we sampled a few) and great atmosphere.

Review: RiverWalk Bistro

RiverWalk Bistro

We had been to the RiverWalk Bistro last summer when it was a Mexican restaurant, but it has since transformed itself into a “bistro.” If you go, ask to sit out back near the lake, which is the best part of the restaurant. The food was okay, if a little overpriced and trying just a bit too hard to be a bistro, but not hard enough to be a good place to eat. I would recommend going for lunch, sit outside, have something to drink by the lake.

Review: The Knick

Posted in Restaurant by Roenblog on the July 4th, 2006

Jen and I had dinner last night at The Knick.  A resturant just arround the corner from our appartment.  Jen had a mojito, and I had a beer.  We recomend the mojito, but stay away from the margarita.  For dinner we shared the fish tacos.  They were really good.
