Hello Loyal Readers,

Im back to my regular format of reviewing restaurants or talking about sports. Today, Kil@wat located in the Intercontinental on the corner of Kilbourn and Water. I went to lunch with some real Milwaukee big-wigs. I felt like I was way out of my league. These people were real classy. I had to leave my "Denny's" language at home, and switch into "Applebee's" language. Here we go:

Companion One (Howard the Duck). Howard ordered the Barbeque Pulled Pork Sandwich w/ fries ($9 or $10). It was delicious. I think the most important part about this particular sandwich was it was served on an Onion Roll, and topped with cole-slaw. I think the onion roll is underrated, and topping the pulled pork with cole-slaw is a southern home-cooking trademark. Everything about this sandwich was great. 

Companion Two (Ms. Claudia). Claudia ordered the greek salad with chicken ($10, $12 w/ Chick). This was a very hefty salad. Certainly enough to be a full meal. Topped with diced tomato, feta, kalamata olives, and a couple of Pepperoncini peppers. I didn't taste this because Claudia and I had just met a squash tourney and I didn't want to frighten her, but from her comments, and the looks of this salad I would say a pretty top-notch greek salad if tha tis your thing. 

Companion Three (Ellen Griswold). Ellen ordered the Spinach Salad ($10). I think that it is on the menu as "the spinach salad" either way it is the salad that comes with spinach leaves. It was topped with bacon, and chopped hard-boiled egg. Ellen ordered the blue cheese dressing with it, but my guess is it generally comes with a hot bacon dressing as is the style with the spinach, bacon, egg combo. I can not access the Kil@wat menu form their web-page so im not sure, but this looked great as well. It wasn't as big as the greek salad, but because of the bacon and egg im sure it was as filling. 

Me, The Prodigal Son. I ordered the breaded whitefish BLT ($10). This was a fantastic sandwich. It was served on a large sesame seed bun, and topped with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. It also had a really nice tartar sauce that had a strong hint of citrus. The breading itself was also nicely seasoned, and I was happy overall with my choice. 

NOTE: As you all no I don't do dessert, but I have to mention something extra about Kil@wat. The bread you get to start the meal is fantastic. A couple of rosemary rolls which were great, and a couple of Pretzel rolls. The pretzel rolls make you feel like you are eating an extra fluffy hot pretzel from the bradley center or something. Overall A+ for the bread.

Overall, Kil@wat provides a very swank-up-scale atmosphere, but in the end is as casual as you want it to be. The prices for lunch are reasonable, and overall is a great place to do a business lunch. Don't be scared away by the fact it is in the hotel on the second floor. It is definitely worth a stop.
