Applebee's International, Inc.

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[3] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Nice interior.
• Service - too much spice on food.

“We went here because we received a gift card. We had a party of four. We had ordered the 2 for 20 plates all around. The appetizers came 20 minutes after ordering along with our sodas, should have known it could only get worse from there - one was wrong - sent it back to get another five minutes later. The buffalo wings (appetizers) were so hacked with hot sauce none of us could enjoy them. The onion rings were the only thing we ate till the food arrived. When it did come the steaks were good, mine was with shrimp parmason topping, the shrimp were so spiced = again couldn't eat them, my husband ordered the steak and a baked potato instead of fries - after asking twice for it. it never came nor were we asked if we wanted it taken of our bill. 55 dollars later and I will never go again - if it wasn't for the gift card I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, unless you are going to the bar to drink or really like hot spiced food.”

• Great outside the norm experience.
• Pricy, but I haven't found a place for sushi that isn't!

“Its hard to find a good sushi restaurant, its harder to find people who know what that means. The soups are traditional, so don't expect broccoli and cheddar - expect simple and delicate. The sushi is fresh and flavorful. I've gone from a casual experimenter to a full-blown sashimi lover through constant sampling of the Japonica Menu. They are polite and friendly, and they offer carry out (which really helps me). I highly recommend it, but not for people looking for a fast burger!”

Sanfords

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Excellent Food, Stellar Service.
• Wine list on the expensive side.

“To begin, the correct name of the restaurant is Sanford, not Sanford's. It is not a family restaurant, it falls under the category of fine dining. Chef is a Beard award winner and Sanford is consistently rated one of the top restaurants in the Midwest. The restaurant is upscale and the prices reflect that. On most weekends you will find as many diners from Illinois as you will from Wisconsin. Young children would definitely be out of place here. With those corrections laid out, Sanford is certainly the best restaurant in Milwaukee and compares favorably with the big name restaurants you would find in the food capitols of the US. The food is top notch and the service is without reproach. Veal Ragu Arancini, Glazed Squab and Cold Cured Foie Gras, Provincial Fish Soup and Seared Wild Striped Bass on Crab Hash are some of the dishes you will encounter. Save room for dessert as the Macadamia Nut Tart is a local classic. If you wished to experience true fine dining in Milwaukee this is the restaurant to choose.”

• Our Hibachi Chef was sweet and entertaining.
• The service by the other servers was inefficient.

“The service at Japonica was very very slow. We arrived and sat down at 7pm and it took us 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order, then we finally received our drink order at 7:50pm. I personally did not enjoy the salad dressing, it may be all a matter of my taste, but the starter soup was nothing but broth and 3 very thinly sliced mushrooms. I felt that the value of service and food product was very poor for the money spent.”

• Wide variety of menu choices, well prepared food, low prices.
• Can be noisy at hibachi tables.

“Great value, especially the lunch specials. Terrific selection -- everything from hibachi steak or scallops to sushi and sashimi to tempura. Can please all tastes here from carnivores to vegetarians. Service is efficient and polite. One of the more interesting restaurants in the Greenfield/Southbridge area.”
