Fratellos offers familiar food in an upscale setting
The interior at Fratellos in the Third Ward is sleek and inviting, and the space features an extensive riverfront patio nearly as big as the inside, for outdoor dining and cocktailing. The menu is familiar and prices are reasonable.

Long live Darwin
Janet and I were eating at a local restaurant -- our Friday night date -- I won’t say where, but we had horrible service. So, when it came time to pay, I left a tip I thought equaled our experience (a bit pitiful and empty). Janet, a former waitress, thought it was a terrible thing to do.

Bar hopping in Wauwatosa is like a trip through time
Tosa serves as a real-life timeline of 20th century bars: you'll find quaint neighborhood taps on the east side; bigger, more modern sports bars to the west; and even larger, corporately-owned bars on the edge of town.
