The Knick Retaurant in Milwaukee

We went to the Knick restaurant for Dinner. Last time I was there was in 2000 when I first moved to Milwaukee. It’s a hotel restaurant attached to the Knickerbocker. Back then I remember having the meatloaf. I thought back then it was good. Nothing out of this world but it tasted good. This time I returned I wasn’t expecting anything that great however I was pleasantly surprised. The food was American food, but it was made well.

David had a house salad with his meal. There was something tasty in the salad dressing which made the ordinary salad really good.

We had steamed mussels and clams for appetizer. It was plainly prepared and I would have wanted a more richer cream sauce. It was just steamed with garlic and wine. It was served with lavosh which made it difficult to sop up the sauce.

The shrimp and scallop entrée was served in a bouillabaisse sauce over fresh spinach. That was nicely prepared.

The Asian pear salad with walnuts, feta and spinach was very nice. I ordered the dressing on the side as I usually do, however it wasn’t very oily so I could have bypassed that part. The dressings had some unique flavors which I could not deconstruct with my tastebuds. There was a dark dressing that I’m guessing was a balsamic vinegar, sugar, soy and some other things. The yellow dressing was sweet honey mustard citrus type of taste.
