 Three
Milwaukee restaurants are the toast of the town. Sanford, Dream Dance
Steak and Bacchus are part of an elite group of eateries to receive
the AAA Four Diamond restaurant designation for 2009. There are
currently no Five Diamond restaurants in the state. Sanford is
celebrating 15 years of garnering the recognition, while Dream Dance
Steak marks six years and Bacchus is in its inaugural year. According
to the AAA, "a Four Diamond restaurant is geared to individuals
in search of a distinctive fine-dining experience. Menus reflect a
high degree of creativity and complexity, using imaginative
presentations to enhance high quality, market-fresh ingredients. The
proficient staff demonstrates a strong desire to meet or exceed guest
expectations. The ambiance is highly refined, comfortable and
well-coordinated, incorporating quality materials and a variety of
upscale design enhancements to give a first-class impression." In
other dining news, the newest venue from The Iron Horse Hotel owner
Tim Dixon, Stacked opened in early July in the former The Social space
on South First Street in the Fifth Ward. Look for burgers
"stacked" high with Wisconsin grass-fed Fountain Prairie
Farms beef and artisanal Wisconsin cheeses, starting at under $10.
