Coquette Cafe the second child of Sandy D'Amato, Milwaukee's greatest and most famous chef, is located in the Historic Third Ward. My Dining companion and I decided to check it out since our mouths were still watering from my b-day dinner at Sanford's, Coquette Cafe'solder brother.

To start: The german potato salad, bacon, smoked salmon, herb salad, with caraway vinegarette ($9.95). This was a nice little opener. It was potato chunks a few smoked salmon and bacon squares, green onion, and some nice herbs with a very light topping of the caraway vinegarette. It was served cold, and was a great alternative to a salad of any kind. 

my dining companion Annie Savoy: Annie ordered the Grilled Pork Loin ($19.75). This has to make my top ten dishes in the city list (I will release this sometime in the near future). It was incredible. The waiter said it was his favorite and that is why Annie got it. I could immediately see why. The pork was cooked perfectly, and had a great grilled flavor. It was served with potatoes, portobellos,  and was braised with a rosemarry apple vinegarette. We were both worried that the vinegarette would be too sweet. It was not. It was just a perfect compliment to the porks sweetness itself. I highly recommend this dish to anyone who will give this place a visit. 

My Order: I was feeling like a sandwich. I got the leg of lamb sandwich ($9.75). It was good not great. THe biggest problem was how little lamb was actually on the sandwich. There were really thin pieces of lamb on the sandwich, and in some spots were hardly enough to taste in any bite. However, when you were able to get some lamb it was fantastic combined with the olive bread. The sandwich was served hot, and grilled like a panini with an aioli and lettuce and tomato. I would not reccomend this because of how little lamb came on it. It did not do itself justice.

I highly reccomend Coquette Cafe to anyone who wants to know why the Lama himself ate Sanford D'Amato's food when he visited Milwaukee. It is the reasonably priced alternative to Sanford'. Check it out for lunch or head there for a nice dinner.
