Quick Foody Reviews...

Izumi's
My heart is still with Ichiban, mainly because they have more intimate seating. But our server, Joe, at Izumi's was absolutely amazing and never skipped a beat. My absolute favorite is Shiro Maguro (a melt in your mouth tuna belly)... this could have been the best I have ever had... in Wisconsin. If you are not the Sushi or Sashimi type... the rolls are just as great. I recommend Eel Roll, but if you are looking for something a lil' more cooked i would go with the ever-so-popular Tempura Shrimp Roll.
Port China
... on Port Washington Road, near Brown Deer. This is hands down one of the best Chinese Restaurants in the Milwaukee Area. Emperor of China is up there too. Anyways, by the interior of this restaurant you would not expect it to rattle your taste buds. The best... BEST... Eggrolls. They are very sweet, maybe with nutmeg. Very unique and very good!
the Knick
Personally, it is exactly like Harry's and for that why not just stay in the area and go to the one in Shorewood. We did go last Sunday for their brunch and a few differences... One of their brunch specialties is a Crab Hash... OMGosh so amazing! (Harry's does not have the Crab Hash). Service was great and the Bloodies were piled high with veggies... just the way we like 'em.
the Hollander
(on Farwell) This could probably be my favorite Go-To restaurant. We go here soo.. much. I ALWAYS get their Grand Club. It has this sweet pepper aioli sauce which makes it just primo. Of course, you need to get their Frites (fries) with choices of a dozen different dipping sauces. I prefer the Basil aioli and the Garlic aioli. Some other favorites from the crew I usually go with: the Bangers and Mash, Chili Mac & Cheese, and (on the menu soup) Split Pea Soup. Don't forget desert... yum yum yum!
California Pizza Kitchen
my hubby's choice. While shopping away at Bayshore Towncenter you should feed yourself so you have enough energy to shop, shop, shop and no DROP. For a quick fix, I suggest this restaurant. They are quick and their pizza is quite good AND you can get a near fabulous glass of vino in there.
** I do NOT write bad reviews... and there are plenty of other restaurants I choose not to write about because of my unpleasant experience with them.
