Water Buffalo is fun and kitchy and the food is good, too
Multiple visits to Water Buffalo yielded good results; while not every item on the menu we sampled was something we would order again, Water Buffalo's strength is their location, atmosphere and the unique architectural design.

Volpe strikes gold with Holiday House
It has been more than seven years since Chef Joe Volpe first took the Milwaukee restaurant scene by storm, and his resume is astonishing: Vinifera at the Passeggio in 1999, Sauce in 2000, four splendid years of ongoing culinary delight at Tess. But, Volpe has truly outdone himself this time with Holiday House.
