Next Door Brewery


Good place to kill the mussel craving in a more casual environment. Food at Neext Door is creative and good.
The yum crisps are to die for. The best chip snack in town, even if you are nor a sweet potato.

This is as bright, flavorful and delicious as it looks in the picture, even more. A great mix of textures and contrasting flavors. Very rich so I wanted more vegetables. But overall one of the tastiest interesting foods I ever had.

Free House Deviled Eggs

Excellent appetizer. Traditional flavor of deviled eggs, remind me ones from my childhood, topped with a strip of bacon for a touch of extra flavor. Fluffy and with strong filling flavor.

Roasted potatoes were the best I ever had. Crispy browned and with perfect tang of garlic. The poached egg topped a black bean corn patty. Surprizing and tasty. The avocado was a refreshing addition.

Eldorado Grill Brunch




Eldorado Benedict 
Poached eggs over potato pancakes with house smoked salmon and tomatillo cream. Served with house potatoes. Potatoes were nice but could use more garlic or herbs for more flavor. Salad was tasty with tangy green sauce. Potato pancakes were very soft and worked well with the egg. Smoked salmon was flavorful and delicious.

Soups were delicious especially the clam chowder which was a special that night. I got the salmon also the special, and it was phenomenal. Nicely roasted, not overcooked, pleasant aioli and served over brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. I was craving for a nice warm and soft dish, and this was wonderful. The other dish we had was shrimp masala. The curry was too upfront and one tone, which you get tired of half way through the dish.

I was very excited to try the scotch egg, but it was pretty bland for me. The grain mustard was delicious. And fruit was nice refreshment on a Sunday morning.

The whiskey sour was wonderful. I want to go back to try it again, and other craft cocktails.

Birthday Dinner

Lagniappe Brasserie 
New Berlin, WI
(Name means "a little something extra")

A nice and cozy french restaurant. Interesting and great menu selection where I wanted to try several things. Dishes were very good but some items on the plate were too simple and made the dish somewhat incomplete. But it was very special experience.
