Hi all! It's been a while since I've chatted last, but I have for you another restaurant visit review. This time it is our family's experience with Milwaukee's "Downtown Dining".
Swig
217 N BroadwayMilwaukee, WI 53202

(Crab Cakes)
Located in the 3rd ward, this restaurant provides a relaxed ambiance while keeping a classy touch.
When we first entered the restaurant we liked the fact that they have outside and inside seating. The dim lighting and earth tones was warm and inviting.
Since this was Downtown Dining, we were able to indulge in a three course lunch menu for only $12.50.
We all decided to try out a drink called "The Vacation". It was a nice tropical drink composed of coconut rum, mango puree, sour, and simple syrup. This drink will definitely have you feeling as if you are on a beach on a nice and sunny day.
Surprisingly, we all generally chose to eat the same type of meal.
Black Bean Cakes
Tomato and Feta
Gourmet Grilled Cheese
The "Young Hipster" turned vegetarian opted for the vegetarian options of the Black Bean Cakes w/ cilantro sour cream, Tomato and Feta (spring mix greens with basil, red onions, a few toasted pine nuts, and just the right amount of a balsamic vinaigrette, and the Gourmet Grilled Cheese (a nice balance of Parmesan, smoked Gouda, fresh mozzarella cheeses with avocado and the best red onion jam I have ever had on a fresh toasted baguette.)
The "Empty Nester" opted for a seafood medley for her three courses. She started off with the Crab Cakes (Panko coated served with an avocado puree and roasted corn relish), Organic Baby Greens ( a mixed greens salad with mandarin oranges, walnuts, and feta cheese tossed with a red bell pepper vinaigrette), and Ahi Tuna Teriyaki (perfectly grilled ahi tuna topped with a cucumber tomato relish and spring mix on a brioche roll).
Our "Busy Mom" opted to split up her courses by having Crab Cakes for her first course and she decided to go more of the vegetarian route by having the Tomato and Feta and Gourmet Grilled Cheese options to complete her meal.
Our little "Picky Eater" had her french fries as usual.
Swig was a good place for all types of tastes and it was reasonably priced. We definitely plan to visit again as soon as possible!
