The restaurant serves a good lunch buffet. Most folks come for the river views, but the food isn't bad. The menu has hints of German and includes seafood and steaks. Rack of lamb stands out. Even the humble bratwurst plate is good.
Entrees are conservative but lunch specials are creative.
If the walls weren't Cream City brick, this cafe could be in Rome. The menu is not trendy Italian except for the excellent Caesar salad. Try carpaccio, pastas and fine seasonal specials. Extensive list of Italian wines. This former Schlitz corner tavern is worth a visit.
