Dining in Milwaukee Downtown Restaurants

admin — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:14:30 +0000

Milwaukee was not known as a dining destination. Neither was it popular as a nightlife destination. Recently, however, the city has suddenly become a culinary destination in Wisconsin. The once lazy downtown area has been replaced with one that is vibrant and loud especially during the night. Trendy Milwaukee downtown restaurants have been established all over the area. Swinging nightclubs compliment these restaurants at night. Indeed, the city offers varied dining experience.

The Garden Bar & Restaurant

On the main course side, one should try the “Kafta in the Oven” made with fresh ground beef, parsley and onions, fresh tomatoes and potatoes baked in a tomato sauce with pomegranate puree. There is also an excellent “Chicken ala Kiev” consisting of a beautiful chicken filet stuffed with garlic, herbs and butter and baked in the oven. You may have noticed that the majority of the dishes on offer are healthy and many are also vegetarian. Another touch that sets the Garden Bar apart are the housemade pickles.

A Taste of Italy in Chicago’s Old Town

From the moment you walk in the door of Dinotto Ristorante, the welcoming glow envelopes you, transporting you away from Chicago’s busy North Avenue and into a time of tranquility and timelessness.

Exemplifying the rare ability to be elegant without pretension, Dinotto’s ambiance is both friendly and romantic, inspiring hand-holding and intimate conversation. The wait staff is attentive and impeccably dressed, delivering fresh bread and Parmesan to your table, prepared to take your wine order from an extensive, yet manageable, leather-bound list.

From the Antipasto course (or “Appetizers,” for those of us not so cultured) to the main dish, the tastes will continually surprise and delight. The Bruschetta Pomodoro is a tasty way to begin, and the flavors meld well with later courses. The pasta options are varied and exquisite, and the staff welcomes substitutions in individual dishes.

In this struggling economy, a dinner out should be satisfying and fulfilling, both as a meal and as an experience. Dining at Dinotto Ristorante delivers on atmosphere as well as value. The main dishes are authentic Italian cuisine, ranging in price from $9.95 to $24.95 — much more affordable than a trip to Italy. The portions are large enough to share if you’re feeling extra thrifty, or save the left-overs for a delicious lunch. Wait for a warm spring day if you can, and take advantage of the outdoor Piazza (a classier version of the beer garden). So take that tax rebate (after saving the majority, I’m sure) and treat yourself and a special someone to a memorable evening at Dinotto Ristorante in Chicago’s whimsical Old Town neighborhood, 215 W. North Avenue.

How to Find the Best Italian Food Restaurants

admin — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:11:18 +0000

One such place in Chicago that is among the most romantic of Italian restaurants is called the Italian Village. This restaurant is a staple in the Windy City and is a must visit if you are ever in the Midwest. It features three different restaurants. The upstairs is very romantic with private dining booths and a mural painted ceiling. You will feel as though you are dining under the stars in Venice. The upstairs restaurant is mostly Southern Italian cuisine.

There’s nothing more enjoyable than a vacation at the beach, and in Redondo Beach the skies are blue and the water is warm. You could literally spend the entire day playing in the sand and surf, but inevitably you’ll need to break for meals. Luckily, you’ll find some of the best restaurants in Southern California right here.

Ocean City, Maryland Restaurant Reviews

admin — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:57:18 +0000

Ocean City offers a wide variety of dining choices. My favorite restaurant is the Marina Deck located at 306 Dorchester Street. Try their cream of crab soup for a taste of true Maryland cuisine, or select from any of their seafood dishes, everything is very good. As with any restaurant, house specialties are always the best so don’t go to a seafood restaurant expecting great ribs. Marina Deck is a must visit while in Ocean City.

If you’re in the mood for ribs or beef I would suggest Nick’s Original House of Ribs located at 14410 Coastal Hwy, or Bull on the Beach with 2 locations, one at 94th Street & Coastal Hwy and one just outside Ocean City on Route 50. While Nick’s has the best ribs, Bull on the Beach has the best pit beef in Ocean City. Many visitors and locals consider Bull on the Beach a must place to eat while in Ocean City and their bar is a relaxed gathering place for locals. JR’s used to be the place to go for ribs but I have gotten some bad reviews about service the last few years and I have not been overly pleased with their service.

When you’re in the mood for Italian head downtown to Adolfo’s Italian Restaurant located at 806 S. Baltimore Avenue. Their food is excellent and highly recommended by locals, however; the best doesn’t come cheap so be prepared to pay top dollar to eat here. For very good Italian food at family prices try Salvatore’s Italian & Seafood Family Restaurant located just outside of Ocean City on Route 50. I don’t consider Salvatore’s a step down from Adolfo’s, just a different menu with a more family friendly menu and reasonable prices.

The Japanese steak house, Sakura, is one of my family’s favorite places to eat. Located in the White Marlin Mall just outside of Ocean City on Route 50 it offers some excellent beef, poultry, and seafood dishes all cooked in front of you by some talented chefs. Wait times are not too long, but keep in mind that parties of less than 6 will be seated with other small parties. This is really fun and gives you a chance to meet other couples or families. While I’m not into Sushi, I’m told theirs is very good. Sakura’s is a must visit while in Ocean City. Unfortunately there is no one Chinese restaurant that I can recommend over another, so this will have to be a try it and see selection. I always suggest you try new restaurants at lunch or at early bird dinner hours when the prices are usually much lower.

On days when all you can think about is dinner I recommend going to a buffet. This has become a popular dinner alternative in our area because you can really get a good value for your dollar when you’re super hungry. If you mainly want crabs or crabs and shrimp my favorites are Waterman’s located on Route 50 just outside of Ocean City and Higgins Crab House with two locations; 31st & Coastal Hwy and 128th St & Coastal Hwy. Both of these are, in my mind at least, must visit restaurants. Crab feasts are the most economical way to get crabs but buying them by the dozen allows you to get larger crabs and take the leftovers home to eat later. Both of these restaurants have carry-out as well as eat in and all you can eat menus. If buying crabs to go I always recommend buying them by the ½ bushel or whole bushel, because you get more for your dollar. When you’re in the mood for more variety the best buffet is at The Bonfire located at 71st St & Ocean Hwy and the Embers Restaurant located at 24th Street & Coastal Hwy. Both of these offer prime rib and seafood buffets that are the best in town.

Tired from being at the beach all day? Try Ponzetti’s Pizza located at 144th Street & Coastal Hwy, this is a non-chain pizza parlor with very good pizza, an amusement area, and a full service bar. There are many pizza places in Ocean City but Ponzetti’s, Lombardi’s located at 9203 Coastal Highway, and the Dough Roller with 4 locations; 70th & Coastal Highway, 1125th Street & Costal Highway, Division Street & Boardwalk, 213 North Atlantic Avenue, are, in that order, the best in my opinion. If you’re in the mood for a sub try Fat Daddy’s located at 216 S. Baltimore Ave. Of course all of the fast food chains are represented up and down Coastal Hwy, but I really think you will like our local restaurants and Deli’s much better for close to the same cost.

As stated earlier; try unknown restaurants at lunch or for their early bird dinners to see if they are worth spending your hard earned money on. Like all resort areas there are what I call “rip-off” restaurants that appear for a summer or two and then vanish. You may have noticed that several of the restaurants I recommend are located just outside of Ocean City, but all of them are less than 5 minutes away. Every restaurant I recommend is frequented by locals and is open year-round with the exception of the Marina Deck which has a smaller restaurant in Ocean Pines that is open year-round. Almost every question I am asked about restaurants starts with; where do the locals eat? The restaurants listed here are where my family and friends eat that is in or near Ocean City.
