Dining Out- Weekend of October 8th, 2005

Sunrise Restaurant
South Milwaukee


Homemade Corned Beef Hash
With 2 eggs, biscuits & gravy and fresh fruit

Spying several menu choices with homemade hash this was the best way to try it- unadorned. Look at this attractive mélange of skillet singed crispiness with pockets of mush then interspersed with jolts of saltiness and savory meatiness. Great biscuits had some unique taste I could not place that made them borderline sweet.


Décor: I liked walking in and hearing the buzz of folks starting their weekends.
Service: Great, and I appreciated her feedback regarding what was homemade and what was frozen (potato pancakes).

4 out of 5 stars



Ilija's Place
Cudahy


Chicken Dumpling Soup

Should have gotten the salad.


Pleskavica
Ground veal, pork and beef with seasonings

Not bad, not great, just boring. Wished there was a more pronounced spice taste and depth.


Décor: Quaint, almost homey.
Service: Cordial until, long story, they bestowed a desire for me to never return.



El Tondero
Milwaukee- South 13th


Sopa De Pollo
Chicken, vegetable and noodle soup

Good example of a soup with both good broth and ingredients


Sudado De Mariscos
Ocean fish, shellfish, squid, mussels, conch, shrimp and scallops cooked in a red Peruvian sauce; served with rice

A nice interspersion of seafood accented with a great broth. Crusty bread was the perfect vehicle to mop up said broth.


Décor: As you can see an old house. Think those drapes are original?
Service: If you go plan on investing a lot of time.
