Meritage: Milwaukee, WI

For Valentine's Day, Brad and I hit up one of our favorite nice restaurants, Meritage.  We went last year on Valentine's Day too, because unless it's a nice holiday we don't usually spend that much on dinner!  It's this great little place on Vliet in Milwaukee.  It's pretty small, and to be honest, the crowd is a bit older.  But the food is AMAZING!  It's a local and seasonal menu, so you never know exactly what you're going to get.  But there's generally always a vegetarian plate, chicken, pork, steak, and lots of seafood!  Last time we went I think Brad had bison.

We started with wine and beer.  Brad was impressed because he'd never heard of his beer before, and he said there were a few he hadn't heard of.  My wine was good.  We also started with a pizza pita, which consisted of mashed butternut squash sauce, spinach, goat cheese, and bacon.  Sound a little different, but it was good.  They also have fresh hot rolls and butter on your table.

For my main meal I had stuffed chicken.  It was covered with prosciutto, and had a side of roasted potato spears.  It was very good.  Brad had lamb.  He really loved both his meal and mine!  We also splurged for dessert, which was a chocolate cake, layered with chocolate mouse and chocolate something else on top, topped with homemade whipped cream.  To-Die-For!

Meritage is such a wonderful little restaurant.  Great for any nice occasion.  Just make sure to make reservations, since it is so small.  Please try this great place!!!  We love it!
