Milwaukee's Best...Dining

The city has come a long way since TV sitcoms like "Laverne and Shirley" sealed its reputation as a beer 'n' brats town. Milwaukee has much more to offer these days, including top spots for tapas, brunch, steak and more.

BY ANN CHRISTENSON

BEST SMALL PLATES
La Merenda
www.lamerenda125.com
414-389-0125
It took a while for tapas to take off in Milwaukee, but now that they're here, the trend is going strong. The menu at La Merenda features 25 international small plates, each labeled with its country of origin and all under $10. Every dish-scallop ceviche from Peru, roasted olives from Greece-is like another stamp in your passport.

BEST CUISINE YOU'VE NEVER TRIED
Three Brothers
414-481-7530
If you've never eaten Serbian food, now is your chance. The tables, adorned with mismatched china, are the perfect setting to enjoy chevapchichi (Serbian sausage) and beef burek in a phyllo crust. The black beret-wearing owner Branko Radicevic will likely be there to greet you with a smile.

BEST OLD SCHOOL EATERY
Jake's
www.jakes-restaurant.com
262-781-7995
Located in Pewaukee (24 miles from Milwaukee), Jake's-a family operation for more than 40 years-has cemented its reputation with its signature filet mignon with onion rings. Also don't miss the roasted Wisconsin duck.

BEST BRUNCH
Lake Park Bistro
www.lakeparkbistro.com
414-962-6300
The three-course Sunday brunch is a rite of passage. It may include smoked salmon and tomato-cucumber salad on toasted brioche, followed by beef tenderloin with black truffle scrambled eggs and, finally, profiteroles.

BEST FINE DINING
Sanford
www.sanfordrestaurant.com
414-276-9608
Opened almost two decades ago by James Beard Award-winning chef Sanford D'Amato and his wife, Angie, this restaurant features a contemporary American menu that has included marvels like grilled loin of Berkshire pork with bacon-thyme potato crisp and roasted shallot dressing.
