Milwaukee's best vibe/view, 2009: Alterra at the Lake
This year, we combined two previously separate categories: "view" and "vibe/atmosphere." Being a new category, we can hardly say the winner -- Alterra at the Lake -- came as a surprise. But it did because in 2008, Roots was the clear winner in both categories. That makes it curious that Roots didn't nab the combined category.

Best breakfast, 2008: The Original Pancake House
Mom always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Who are we to argue with mom? When it comes to the morning meal, Milwaukeeans prefer The Original Pancake House, which has locations in the old "Coffee Trader space" on Downer Avenue and on the busy Bluemound Road strip in Brookfield.
