Dining Out- Week of February 14th, 2005

Sala da Pranzo
Milwaukee- Hampshire at Oakland


Gnocchi Con Gorgonzola
Gnocchi with gorgonzola, spinach and a cream sauce.

Perfectly al dente gnocchi in the piquant cheese and rich sauce.


Décor: Very comfortable space with yellow walls, splashes of color added by fabric and mismatched tables spaced roomily about.
Service: Just great.

3 out of 5 stars


Range Line Inn
Mequon


Grilled Salmon
Fork flake apart tender with just the right amount of light seasoning. Very enjoyable. Nice side of homemade brocolli slaw.

Décor: The quaintness that comes from a place built in 1840
Service: As you’d expect from a high end place.

3 ½ out of 5 stars


Pauline’s
Okauchee


Blueberry Pancake

Good enough to make it on my favorites list. The golden patty had a bit of crisp to it with a well cooked mildly sweet batter containing a respectable quantity of unbroken blueberries.


Décor: Like eating in a basement rec room; and I got a kick out of that. Dark paneling, wagon wheel lights, Lions club items on the walls, simple tables.
Service: He takes the order and cooks it. Pretty sure that wasn’t Pauline…

4 out of 5 stars


Goodharvest Café
Waukesha

Hot Couscous Salad


Roasted Eggplant w/ Carrot and Feta Sandwich

I’ll rate these together, since they gave the same impression. Great variation of textures and fresh; yet mild in taste. I think the sandwich was steep at five bucks. At least it was healthy!
