Iron Horse venue Branded by ambience, potential
Although there were some issues with pacing, the restaurant inside the breathtaking Iron Horse Hotel may soon become a destination dining spot for visitors and local residents. Chef Thomas Schultz's menu is heavy with steaks, burgers and other items that could be "branded." His love of duck confit shines through (in his trademark DLT) and the house chips with white truffle and parmesan are worth a trip to the bar.

Most OnMilwaukee.com readers that know the name Nate Norfolk, recognize it from his work as a local musician -- currently in The Candliers. But Norfolk was a long-time employee at Downer Wine & Spirits, where he could always be counted on to uncork good wine advice with a smile.

Say "oui" to Laissez Faire
I'm starting to think the patrons must see us and coming and clear out, since like the last few places we tried, Laissez Faire was also empty. But that meant more time for the two-person staff to work on our meals, I suppose, and both my wife and I were pleased with our lunch.
