restaurant of the month - may 2012

Picturesque patio picks

IT’S PATIO time for Milwaukee and Wisconsin restaurants.

THIS MONTH, KEY Milwaukee features four downtown Milwaukee restaurants which we feel are true patio gems. These are great spaces to linger and savor Milwaukee’s summer.

Jacques Chaumet of CHEZ JACQUES, 1022 S. 1st St., carefully created his Wine Garden Patio with as much thought as he puts into his French country dishes. A mural on the restaurant’s back wall by local artist Amanda Aquino blends a French country scene with U.S. landmarks and a large chestnut tree shelters diners. Add a glass of wine and a crepe and relax, European-style.

A two-level patio at the MILWAUKEE ALE HOUSE on the Milwaukee River is packed on every sunny day and some that are not so sunny. Located at the south end of the Riverwalk at 233 N. Water St., the Ale House is easily is one of the top river patios in this or any other city.

Upstream and a block from the river, TRINITY THREE IRISH PUBS, 125 E. Juneau Ave., creates an authentic Irish patio experience. The stonework is made in Milwaukee, but can be seen throughout the Emerald Isle. We know, we’ve been there.

PALMS BISTRO & BAR, in the heart of Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward at 221 Broadway, defines the fun, yet upscale, essence of the neighborhood. In addition to the popular sidewalk dining area, large windows at the front of the restaurant slide open to catch lake breezes.
