Generations seeks small-plate success in Waukesha
Don't expect fancy foodstuffs or presentations at Generations at Five Points. Like the minimal signage on the restaurant's front, menu selections are simple, clean and no-frills. Diners can choose from a soup of the day (on our visit, this was a creamy tomato basil for $4), chopped salad ($4), which deviates from the norm with mixed mesclun greens and a choice of dressing, or house salad ($4), and a variety of options apportioned for two.
