Play in the City and 3rd Ward growth

Not sure if you know this, but there's a person out there who's name is Karen that the city of Milwaukee employs to blog, yes that's right, blog about all things Milwaukee. She basically explores the universe that we know as Milwaukee from virtually every angle, it's a pretty neat job, Check it out here. Of course I know about it because she was kind enough to visit both Water Buffalo and Swig over the last year, but I am also an avid reader as well.



Summer is here and the riverwalk and 3rd Ward in general is a buzzin. It's even slightly surreal to stand in the spot pictured and see all the activity that now includes the patio at Water Buffalo. Even traffic on Broadway where Swig and the Palms are located is up significantly from a year or two ago, it feels great!

On Milwaukee loves Swig

Another really great review for Swig. This time from Amy Carlson of On Milwaukee . com. Quite a headline too: Spectacular food, service make Swig a standout! What more could you ask for! I wasn't super pleased that she referred to former meals as average with highlights in between, but then again OnMilwaukee.com did vote Water Buffalo best new restaurant last year and Amy herself called the food good, but I digress.

Our single biggest compliment yet.

Tonight we had the pleasure of serving 7 guests from the Milwaukee Health Department. When I approached the host for the group she said that our health inspector personally recommended the group dine at Water Buffalo based upon our last inspection that she performed a couple of weeks ago.

A compliment from some particularly discriminating guests that I am quite proud of, thank you.
