Carson's
I wanted to write a quick review on Carson's. I took my wife after it recently open. Carson's Milwaukee is the 3rd installment of the famous Carson's from Chicago. It is located on the 1st floor of The Moderne.
The food:
One word...Orgasmic! From the steak to the chicken and ribs. Everything on this menu is delicious! I ordered the filet and half a rack of ribs. Everything was outstanding! The filet melted in your mouth and the ribs stuck...well to your ribs!
My wife ordered the BBQ chicken and ribs. I'm not a chicken guy but that chicken was unlike I have ever had. It's was so moist and the flavor....well orgasmic!
Everything we had was great. The bread and the 2 pates, the coleslaw and the wine were excellent. I wish we had a little more coleslaw tho

Cafe Benelux
4 out of 5 Stars
I'm back online with a great place for either lunch or a late night dinner. I took my wife last night to the Historic Third Ward and we decided to try Cafe Benelux for dinner. We have took some family in the past for lunch and really enjoyed it. The menu consists of a lot of American comfort foods with matching beers to accommodate. My wife ordered the Mac n' Cheese in which thoroughly enjoyed. I decided on the bacon wrapped meatloaf with ale gravy per recommendation from many friends. We were not disappointed one bit. I try and always keep room for dessert but these dishes filled us up!
Although we order 2 glasses of wine with our meals, Cafe Benelux has an extensive beer menu featuring beers from all over the world. One of the best beer menus that I have come across. Each beer is described very well which makes it very easy to choose the appropriate one for your taste.
The service was great! Our server had many recommended dishes. They were attentive and friendly the entire meal. My only fault that I see too many restaurants doing in this atmosphere is keeping their music a little too loud.
We will be back for sure. Please let me know what you think of Cafe Benelux?
Great experience!

Brick 3 Pizza
4 out of 5
If you are looking for great New York style pizza with a twist.....this is the place for you! Highly recommend the BBQ chicken & bacon pizza. The pies are huge! Come ready to eat or a great idea for a Packers game! My 2 year old also loves the mac & cheese pizza. Great pies for everyone's taste!

Tenuta's
Tenuta's (in Bay View)
4.5 out of 5
This place is a hidden gem! A couple of my members at the country club have been raving about this small corner bar Italian restaurant in Bay View. Bay view is starting to grow with many great restaurants on it's resume.
Tenuta's has the feel of a local corner bar set into a residential neighborhood, but don't let that throw you off. This place has an amazing Italian feel with dim lighting and tables right on top each other. The only things that this cozy restaurant is missing a corner booth for the boss.
So I decided to order the veal marsala after many food sources saying how good it was. The veal was a little tough but the marsala sauce and sprinkle of fresh basil with the homemade fettuccine noodles was unreal! Extremely delicious!!!
My beautiful wife ordered the Ravioli di Funghi. I am still thinking about this dish the next morning. Could be the best pasta dish that I have ever had! The mixture of fresh mushrooms, shallots, and fresh basil paired with a marsala cream sauce was simply stunning! My wife says the kicker was the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. I couldn't agree more! This dish was just that good!
We will be back very soon! Anyone want to come with?

Cafe Benelux
Cafe Benelux 4 out of 5
A MUST GO!!!!!
My wife and her sister and husband decided on a beautiful day to grab a little lunch downtown at Cafe Benelux. This is a must go hot spot! If it's a sunny day ask to sit up on the roof. You get a decent look at downtown Milwaukee and a nice cool breeze. To start, I ordered a Stinking Rose Bloody Mary! It is garlic-infused vodka with all the fixings. Very delicious! Time to order lunch and the "Sprocket" burger caught my eye. Anything that is cooked in duck fat....I'm in! The Burger consisted of a pretzel bun with a 1/2 pound prime beef, bacon, duck fried egg, tomato jam and garlic aioli. Very messy but very good!! Overall the menu looked amazing! I always wish my stomach was a little bigger than it is.

Jake's Steakhouse in Brookfield
Jake's Steakhouse 3.5 out 5
So my wife and I decided to try Jake's Steakhouse in Brookfield for my birthday dinner. Growing up, my parents frequently dinned here and they always came home with the leftover haystack onions rings! So going into our dinner I was excited to try them again. They must have changed their recipe because it was not the same onion rings that I remember. We also ordered the daily special of oven roasted oysters. VERY GOOD! My wife ordered a 6 oz. filet. She enjoyed it very much! I ordered the 6 oz filet and scallops. The steak was cooked to perfection, but the scallops were a little over-done for my taste. All in all a great experience and hope to get back there in the future!

Trocadero 4.5 out of 5
To back date a little bit, I took my wife and a lot of others to Trocadero for her 30th Birthday party back in October. I have nothing by high remarks about their service and food.
I made the reservations via Twitter and was taken care of very easily.
If you are a bloody Mary fan, which we both are, this is the place for you. I ordered the "Gloreosa" Bloody and was not disappointed. They mix garlic infused vodka with a delightful array of spices to make the absolute masterpiece!
I was turned on to their red-curried mussels cooked in coconut milk with garlic and a touch of mint for an appetizer. They were fantastic!
To continue my garlic themed night, I enjoyed the Triple Garlic Burger! Luckily we went out for many drinks after otherwise the wife wouldn't have been happy with the odor that followed me around for sometime.
We have been back a couple times now and planning on continuing our visits to Trocadero!
Thanks guys!

Mimmas Cafe 2.5 out of 5
For the fans of the hit NBC Show "The Office", you guys will love this place. I recently took my wife to Mimmas Cafe on Brady Street the other night and we were not a short of laughs with our server, Will. Dwight Schrute is alive in Milwaukee! Will happened to put on a great display of the colorful character with his antics and humor.
The food:
The menu was huge with a lot of different options. There were too many specials to follow during Will's rambling. It was similar to Will Ferrall in Old School when he blacks out during the debate scene. I ordered the Ravioli. Great portion and great flavor. The wife ordered some fettuccine in a light cream sauce. Both dishes were very good.
The service was lacking a little professionalism. Although"Dwight" was great and always there to serve us, the water boy forgot what was in the olive oil and was very creepy walking from table to table. Mimma looks to be out of the kitchen and behind the hostess table. Lets just say she needs to go back into the kitchen and make her magic happen. She had a little trouble working the reservations on the computer and look flustered all night.
Overall it was good experience but if we were to go back, we would have to sit in "Dwight's" I mean Will's section again! He was spot on!

Ryan Braun's Graffito 3 out of 5
Recently took the wife out for dinner to Ryan Braun's New Graffito. I heard he closed down the old restaurant to re-model. It' pretty much the same lay-out but with more colors and little more casual. The menu has shrunk down to only scratch made Italian dishes. I had the Duck Pappardelli....EXCELLENT!!!! Just the right portion size! The wife had the mezzaluna- she claims half her dish was cold. I tried some of her pasta and it tasted fine, she just had the cold ones I guess. Service was a little over the top! Our waiter made our experience a little awkward. He was very nice but kept trying to give us a tour of the kitchen? He tried pushing dishes for us to try and we didn't even ask for his input. I hate when they don't let you think for yourself. All in all the place was packed! Great atmosphere and great food, they just need to take it down a peg on the service. This is coming from a guy who is in the customer service business.

Wild Mushroom Risotto!
Last night I made the best Risotto. I followed Anne Burrell's recipe from foodnetwork.com. It's very creamy and rich! Use some really good wine. Get as many mushrooms too put in it! This is a for sure make meal!

Fujiyama!
Fujiyama or Wasabi?
My Pick is fujiyama! Those spicy tuna rolls! Too good.
Better price than Wasabi and better tasting!

Haute Taco
Haute Taco is the real deal!
Service was great! Food was very good! Great Specials!
Got the duck taco, it was good but just ask for the taco without bones. Missed a few.
