Seesters

Spring is almost here.... Or at least I am going to tell myself that!!

Today I needed a good place for a working lunch halfway between Oconomowoc and Waukesha.... Seesters was the perfect location!


Great pico and seasoned chips for started (though not included, 3.95 for a basket)

Here is the menu:



We both got the fish tacos.


One tilapia and one fried cod....

Even though I'm not a fan of tilapia, (due to Mike Rowe's tv show "Dirty Jobs" tilapia farm episode) it was better than the cod. I think their fryer oil wasn't hot enough, because the batter wasn't as crispy as I would have expected and the batter seemed to have absorbed a lot of oil. Eww

Overall it was ok, not the best, not the worst.

I think the waitstaff could have been a bit quicker and it would have been nice if they would have informed us sooner that they were short staffed and their would be delays, before we had already waited 30 min.... What it we were in a big rush??!! we weren't though, it was too beautiful out.

I will go back again without a doubt though just so I can sit outside with a cocktail :) . And if I get food it won't be fish tacos.

Pita and Pan

Ok so today's lunch wasn't the healthiest, but it was the BEST gyro I've ever had! No lie, better than Oakland Gyro, better than Golden Gyro, better than Gyro's West. AND it's super close to home, is owned by Chef Tony of D Mo's @ the Clarke, and they deliver if need be!!!! What more can you ask for!!!




























When Tony asked what I was having for lunch I told him whatever he choose.... He recommend the the gyro platter.

Here is what I loved about it:

First of all the presentation in the metal tray was new and refreshing.

I loved the Greek salad on the side and the fries were excellent, crispy outside and a perfectly warm potato center, dusted with a homemade seasoning.

But the star was the gyro!

A perfect gyro. The pita was soft and warm, the gyro meat was super moist and didn't have those annoying dry edges you come to expect with a gyro. There were thinly sliced red onion, just enough without being overwhelming, fresh diced cucumber and tomato, and just enough sauce.

I can't wait to have another.... Maybe next week! Or just a huge Greek salad!

Congratulations Tony on another great new Waukesha location.

Grilled Veggie Sandwich

A toasty baguette filled with sautéed mushrooms, green pepper, red onion, tomatoes and a bit of cheddar cheese!!! Choose the fresh made pasta salad over the fries or chips and you have an excellent and satisfying vegetarian lunch.









My cousin had the salad special.... A grilled steak (made to order med-rare), a hard boiled egg, fresh fruit and veggies balsamic glaze! She loved it!!

Steakhouse night....table for 4 please....

First table too wobbly to sit at!
Second table just right.






Starting the evening with a Pyramid Apricot Ale...sodas, and a Bud Light...

Apps:

Lobster Fritters- Where is the lobster? Great concept.... Corn, jalapenos, cornmeal "dough" and deep fried with a creamy sauce.... Like I said we didn't see or taste the lobster!!!









Tuna Wontons-Yeah---- if you see the ahi tuna fingers from BreckBrew you will see what tuna should look like!!!








Salad with Ranch for two. Nice size salad but bad lettuce was hidden under the toppings.

Chili just normal.... Nothing special, but they did add fresh jalapenos and cheese as requested (missed the onions).

Chicken rice soup of the day; overly salty!! I think it was condensed soup that they forgot to add water too. Blah.

Dinner:

I had the Colorado trout and garlic mashed potatoes..... It was ok, not good, not bad, just boring!






The guys had the BBQ platters.... Also just ok. Oh, but the rock hard corn bread ruled, j/k.








So, in my "expert" opinion, skip this place! Not to mention this was the most expensive meal we had during the whole trip!!!!


Oh yeah and it has nothing to do with Wisconsin, according to the waitress.
It's named after the Kenosha Pass in the mountains.....But there is obviously roots in the name. I looked it up because I was wondering what Kenosha means etc..... Its means "place of the pike" or something similar to that.

I got my reservation.....

For Sprizzo's Beer Dinner.

Here's the scoop from MaryLou:

Saturday, May 21st- Beer Dinner

What kind of an event is this? Well… we have planned a special menu and beer tasting. We have carefully gone over items to make certain that the beer enhances the flavor of the food (tough job, I know). There will be two appetizers: parmesan canapés and hummus, our fruit and nut salad, several entrées including chicken pesto, bleu cheese slider, and pulled bbq pork and two deserts- raspberry cheesecake and Key lime cake, all done as tapas portions. There will be a corresponding beer to go with each, 8 5oz beers in all

This event will be a reservation only event. Call us at 513-5640 a.s.a.p. as there is a lot of interest in the event, and we will fill up fast!
