Usinger's - Milwaukee

I visited this branch of Usinger's located in the D Terminal of the Milwaukee airport.

I had a bratwurst on a pretzel roll with onions and sauerkraut ($6.29). It was served with homemade potato chips.

The sandwich was very good.

Umami Moto - Milwaukee

Who says you can't find good sushi in Milwaukee? Umami Moto is located in the downtown area at 718 N. Milwaukee Street.

This modern and sleek restuarant is nestled among other very good restaurants on this otherwise deserted block behind the Pfister Hotel.

I started with a Razzle Dazzle cocktail ($8) - which was a slightly sweet, light drink. Then I had Tuna Poke ($15) with wonton chips which had nice chunks of avocado. Followed by an Unagi roll ($13) and Spicy Tuna roll ($8).

This was very good and more than enough food, but I just had to have a little sweet afterwards so I topped dinner off with a warm chocolate cake ($8) topped with coconut ice cream.

Everything was very good.

Culver's - Milwaukee

Culver's is a chain of fast food restaurants. I visited the one located in the Grand Avenue Shopping District in downtown Milwaukee.

I had a single burger with cheese, fries and a medium soda ($5.45). The fries were good, but the burger was dry and disappointing.

So I topped off lunch with a small cone with vanilla and pumpkin pecan frozen custard ($2.59).

Harbor House Milwaukee

...is located at 550 N. Harbor Drive right on the Lake.

This open, airy, bright restaurant has lovely views and excellent seafood.

We started at the bar with wine and onion rings - light and delicious!

Then when we were seated we shared 3 dozen oysters, fried calamari and crab cakes. I had the scallops with mashed potatoes for my entree. For dessert I had the key lime pie. I wish it had more meringue.

Overall a very good dinner in Milwaukee!

I noticed the crowd tended to be the older demographic and that might be based on the pricepoints

The Library Milwaukee

...this is an actual library where breakfast is offered at the Iron Horse Hotel.

I had an orange juice, an egg white omelet with spinach and mushrooms, whole wheat toast, bacon and a bowl of fruit. I nutritious way to start the day before a business meeting!

Smyth Milwaukee

...this restaurant is located in the lobby of the Iron Horse Hotel.

I had the rock shrimp and avocado salad. Then the buttermilk fried chicken with spinach and garlic mashed potatoes.

Iron Horse Hotel Milwaukee

...I stayed at this hotel for work and we had drinks in the lobby lounge. We also ordered house made chips with truffle butter and parmesan - delish!
