Went to dinner at 5 on New Year's Eve yesterday when the place opened. Had reservations and was the third couple in the place. Was seated next to the bathroom and kitchen by a crabby 50 year old lady who clearly didn't want to be there. I asked to sit somewhere else given the whole place was empty when we got there and had open tables when we left and was told " no ". You just don't treat customers like that when there are tons of options. I will never go there again
(1)Todd S.
Looking for something different in the outskirts of Milwaukee and found a hidden gem in New Berlin. Freshly prepared, home grown, and locally sourced, the menu features "what's fresh" and excels in presentation and preparation. Servers are well versed in the menu, which is a big plus, and provide impeccable, yet unobtrusive service. Reservations a must, visited on a Tuesday and it was at capacity. (A good thing).
(5)Jim F.
I am between a 4 and 5 start on Lagniappe, so I might increase this later. This may be the best value in the area for the quality you receive. The foods is always excellent, and the service is good (although can feel a bit off some nights). I love the little bar area as you enter. It is small, so make a reservation.
(4)Rick R.
I've dined here a handful of times over the past 8 or so years that they've been open. Every meal has been better than the last. The menu changes daily as Chef Tenaglia uses the freshest ingredients he can get and transforms them into some of the most flavorful and beautifully dishes you'll find in the Greater Milwaukee Area. You may have seen them at the Wisconsin Products Pavilion during the state fair or in a tent at Bastille Days. Recently, I've had lunches including the Kobe Beef Burger whose cheese options change, but a nine-year aged cheddar is generally available for a $1 upcharge. The best lunch dish I had was a seared duck breast. The meat was cut into medallions and was incredibly tender. The pan sauce was off the charts. If you haven't visited Lagniappe Brasserie, you're really missing out, especially if you live in the west suburbs where your options are slim. The restaurant is small, so I recommend making a reservation, even the day of. You will not be disappointed. Sample menus are available online. Again, the menus change daily. Lagniappe is a cajun term meaning "a little something extra." I've found that every dish and meal service included a little something extra, but on my most recent visit, guests received a little extra treat at the end of their meals. If you have special dietary needs, just call ahead. I'm certain Chef Tenaglia can accommodate you. This place is truly a gem!
(5)Garrett R.
Let me preface this review by stating a few things: This is NOT a review about the service, the drinks, the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff, the temperature inside the building, the parking, or the prices. This review is for the burger. THE burger. If you only have one standard cheeseburger while you're in Milwaukee, this is the burger. You can find better 'specialty' burgers elsewhere closer to downtown, but for a classic, no-nonsense cheeseburger, this is it. Period. The beef patty is huge. Juicy. Extremely flavorful. Like a kung-foo kick to the chin. You can tell they serve the highest quality meat in this establishment. I've never had anything quite like it. Absolutely amazing. There are several cheese choices, but do yourself a favor and get the 10-year aged cheddar. Your mouth will thank you. Worth the drive. Worth the cash. Worth the wait. Worth it. Delicious. One caveat: Only available for lunch between 11:30 and 2:00.
(5)Bryan A.
My girlfriend and I just happened upon this place when we were in the Brookfield vicinity. I am glad that I found this place. The ambiance is very tasteful, nicely decorated ornate tin ceilings. The beef and barley soup was rich and excellent, and I liked that the vegetables were a bit crisp and not soggy. The chicken dish with a heirloom tomato ragu and swiss chard, etc. with potatoes, was quite tasty, and the chicken was extremely tender. Added bonus is that on thursdays, all bottles of wine are 50% off! They have an ever changing menu, so I definitely want to go there again and see what they have on offer.
(5)Ana J.
This is the cutest little French restaurant you would ever find in the Milwaukee/New Berlin area. The atmosphere, music, building, layout and decor are indeed very francophone and truly give you that "French" feel that you desire from any such establishment. The food is absolutely delicious and tastes as though it was prepared with much care and pride. Certainly a place worth going to again and again.
(5)Richard S.
Several weeks ago, I attended a Wine pairing dinner here. The wines were provided by Sturino Trotta (one of my favorite wineries). There were many high points to the evening, but also a few problems. Lets begin with the problems. An undercooked Risotto that was almost crunchy. An Elk Chop that must not have been butchered properly because we had to saw through some really tough silver skin or other connective tissue to get to the meat. There were also several service glitches throughout the night that detracted from the experience. Now the Positives. Great little bites to start the night, featuring an Apple Walnut Strudel and a Bluefin Carpaccio. A Salad of Toasted Pepitas, Shaved Fennel, Mint and 18-day Sunflower Shoots was one of the best Salads I've had in a long time. The Ricotta Gnocchi served with the Elk was amazing. The Wine Pairings were spot on and David Trotta from the winery kept us entertained and informed all evening. The Restaurant is Wheelchair Accessible through a back door, so you either need to call ahead or have someone get the staff to unlock the door for you. Once inside the space is quite tight so it is a little difficult to maneuver. On the plus side, the men's room is big and easy to navigate. I am eager to go back and try them for a regular meal because the Chef is obviously very talented.

Delicious food, always fresh. Lots of local sourcing of food. They grow some of their own veggies in a garden out back. Owner and chef Andy Tenaglia (who also teaches at MATC) is willing to modify dishes to accommodate food allergies - be sure to call ahead so they have time to prepare. The menu rotates. I had an incredibly delicious (and spicy) lentil curry here once that made my list of the best things I've ever eaten. The flourless chocolate cake is incredible. Go for it. Seriously. If you are too full after your meal, convince a table mate to share it with you. On my most recent visit, a mother's day brunch with 11 family members, I recall these items from the menu: rabbit, a flank steak, lamb, golden tile fish, halibut. As a vegetarian (ask) the options were a lentil curry, pasta primavera, and something else I cannot remember. This time, I had the pasta. It was tasty, albeit spicy. Definitely make a reservation. Very nice environment, classy, with a relaxed eating pace. They do have kids options, but I wouldn't suggest it as a kids place because of the intimate environment. The inside looks like it used to be a living space. Really cute and very clean. Great for a special occasion or anniversary. This is not a place to go for a quick dinner, it is definitely a fine dining experience but with way better service, food, and prices than the fancy places downtown.
(5)Austin F.
Best burger on my list to date (and i have been chasing burgers for a while)! Service is good but can be a light cold at times (like mentioned by others). However i'll put up with cold service over a hot burger ;)
(5)Jerri L.
Stopped by awhile ago on a Thursday night for an early dinner with friends was told we 'have to have a reservation'. The place was empty. Not sure when or if I want to try again without a reservation.
(1)John P.
I have chosen this restaurant for every lunch this week. It is a keeper! If you are in Milwaukee area you must go. Wonderful menu, wine, atmosphere and staff
(5)Alex M.
Lagniappe would get 5 stars on its own merits in any city in the country, but when you pause for a second to appreciate that this place is in a WISCONSIN SUBURB it just blows me away. quel tresor!!! the atmosphere is more of a bistro campagne feel and they hit it dead center--only thing that would improve the already impeccable experience would be an outdoor high-fenced patio that magically blocked out all Greenfield traffic. the dinner entrees are great but i prefer their lighter (and very reasonably-priced) lunch menu. the 1lb kobe beef burger is bien sur a little on the heavy side...but aren't we all so get in therrrre!
(5)Mike P.
GREAT FOOD but SERVICE LAGS at LAGNIAPPE. START: My wife and I were greeted by a hostess. She wasn't very friendly. She asked about drinks and I asked for a cocktail or cordials menu and she stated they "only had a wine list." I said I was just on your website and there's an entire menu of them. She stated she didn't know and that our SERVER would help me. Standoffish and Strange. The waitress arrived with a liquor menu and I asked "what's the most classic French digestif on here?" She stated she would have to ask. The hostess comes back with two bottles of liquor and starts talking like an expert bartender. Strange. I picked a Chartreuse Green on the rocks. The waitress comes back and is a sweet young girl, but clearly meek and not really understanding of the menu. We were started off with two types of bread (white and I believe banana) with house churned salted butter, olive oil and hummus. These three items are really great. Fruity quality olive oil, warm salted butter and (assuming) house made hummus. POSTSCRIPT: I was charged $11 for this drink but their website has it listed for $8. Lagniappe Brasserie's tagline is "A Little Something Extra" (literally the translation for lagniappe) which the servers explain when they bring around a tapas sized sample of something extra. This evening it was roasted goose quiche. Outstanding. ORDERED: Escargot Bourgionne (French helix snails braised with California garlic, Rainwater Madeira and shallots) $10 TASTED: This was my first escargot experience. My wife wanted no part of this. Snails taste like a smoked oyster or a grilled chicken heart I had recently. It's a chewy smooth texture vehicle for butter food in my opinion. It was accompanied by two lemon wedges (one dusted with fresh parsley the other paprika) and slices of way burnt-rock hard baguette. ORDERD: Grilled Wisconsin Pork Chop with Fall root vegetables ($18). Each entree is served with a soup, vegetable and starch. I chose an asparagus soup that was spot on. Creamy, thick, well seasoned. The main dish arrived shortly after. I grew up in Iowa so I don't often order pork at restaurants but I'm glad I did. There was no steak knife with the utensils. I asked about this and the waitress said the meat is so well cooked you can use a fork only. What!? I used a butter knife and fork to enjoy the pork chop. The pork tasted fantastic! Rustic and AMERICAN. The zucchini was prepared as spaghetti strips, a chunk of under cooked carrot, mashed potatoes, golden beets and a warm cabbage/corn slaw. The vegetables weren't hot even though the plate itself was. ORDERED: Imported and Domestic Cheese ensemble ($11 thought the website lists $10). THIS WAS THE BEST cheese plate for the price I've ever had. The cheeses were Iowa's Maytag Blue, a Wisconsin 5-Year Cheddar, Spanish Iberico, and and English cheese with Port (the English love putting stuff in cheese). The presentation was stunning, a thin wooden cheese board, different colors of cheese, almonds (wish upgraded to Marcona), toasts, black berries and a fruit compote. END HITS: The food here is outstanding. From what I read the owner/chef Andy Tenaglia is a real talent but his staff is lacking knowledge of what the restaurant is about. I had the liquor with my appetizer and my empty glass sat empty and was never offered another for the entire hour and a half meal. Most restaurants KNOW this where the profit is and are persistent about selling drinks. There are many restaurants on my "to try" list in the Milwaukee metro and it takes a complete experience for me to revisit one. This one overlooks the details that make a repeat visit not probable.

Dining places fall into any number of categories: Mistakes, 'Ok for one time', 'Maybe next time will be better', 'great', etc. This one earns a place in the DESTINY category. It was destiny that we would end up here, on a recent way-stop between Lake Erie and Minneapolis. Staying up the road, I consulted my 'Oracle of Yelp' and came up with a worthy list of near-by options. We were lucky and able to get dinner reservations on a Saturday night. Mind you--this spot only seats around 50-60 people at a time. And seating is very much in demand. From what we saw of familiar greetings exchanges among patrons and servers...these people know each other from repeated visits. Easy to see why...(if we lived closer we would join them). The menu changes daily and is fueled from the veggie patch alongside and behind the establishment. Garden fresh it is! Innovative mains that start with delicious fresh baked breads. Ours featured a strawberry bread that was succulent and soft with baked-in fresh berries. Home made french bread accompanied that (as did churned butter) and a lemon-thyme herb infused olive oil. Wow... While I was leaning toward the Day-boat caught fresh Halibut, we centered on mains we had never had before: Rabbit and Duck breast. We were offered the last two plates of these specials and couldn't resist. The Rabbit (NEW to us) was very well prepared and as promised--the loin tastes gamier than the fore-front which is quite chicken-like. The Duck Breast was seared and served rare which proved to be just fine. Consistency, flavor and all were great. Served in a port wine and dark cherry reduction--it was exceptional! Dessert introduced us to a Rhubarb Balaclava. This was an exceptional way to experience a new flavor in a familiar presentation, and make a great creative statement! My wife's seat allowed her to watch the kitchen-workings. The evening's meals were all put out by a well-orchestrated team of four chefs, who obviously get along together very well and perform wonderful gastronomic feats. All told, a wonderful visit. Great culinary visit and enticing reminder to find another reason to get ourselves to this part of Wisconsin at the earliest possible time!

When I first went to this restaurant, it was really good. The prices were reasonable and they changed the menu. I have been back about 7 or 8 times as it is close to a friend of mine and also where I get my hair cut. I have to say that I think it is really slipping. On one occasion, there was a stone in the hummus they gave us at the beginning. They just laughed about it. On that same night, my lamb was done so well done that I had to send it back. No apologies and they didn't offer anything. I was there a few weeks ago and ordered twin fillets. One was done perfectly and the other was extremely overcooked. I told the waitress and again got oh well. I have also tried them for lunch. I was with my daughter and a friend of mine. I ordered the fish. When it arrived, my daughter asked where the rest of it was. The portions are extremely small for lunch which is why they probably charge so little. The last time I went, I called for a reservation and they said they had nothing for 1.5 hours. I was trying to let the person I was with know that we couldn't get in. She went straight to the restaurant and was seated immediately. There were only 3 other tables that were filled. I asked why they told me an hour and a half and, again, they brushed it off. They seem to do a lot of that. Overall, this restaurant is ok, but it is very hit and miss.
(3)Marcus P.
My wife and I had the opportunity to try this place out for this years Valentine's Day celebration (following Saturday). I'll try to keep this short because I can get long winded. For the apps we had the scallops (2), and they were spectacular. Large, seared perfectly, and should honestly be served as an entree they were so good. Bread was served as well with whipped butter, olive oil/roasted sea salt, and liver patte. The dinner menu is very straightforward, and well put together. It's a seasonal menu so I don't know if everything we got will still be there later in the year, but I can imagine that anything you get will be worthwhile. My wife's was a rack of lamb from New Zealand, and my elk tenderloin hit the spot. Soup or salad comes with the grub, and we got both soups they had for the night: creamed asparagas, oxtail soup. The dessert we selected was creme brulee and homemade chocolate custard. Not huge, but managed to satisfy both our sweet cravings. There was a hidden "gem" which I know isn't on any of the menus. I even resist posting it because I'd hate to get them in trouble and have it stop. I'm not even sure anyone is going to read this, but if you really want to know the inside scoop, send me a message and I'll tell you. Good food at a good price, with great service from great people. That's about all you can ask for right?
(4)Aaron F.
I've been here several times now and love this place. It's excellent for a romantic dinner; the place is very cozy elegant. Everything I've had here has been fresh and the menu is ever-changing. It's always cool when a restaurant can grow and use some of their own ingredients and Lagniappe does just that. This place is well worth the trip out west. I'd love to get back for lunch one day and try their burger that's been raved about.
(5)Jordan H.
What a gem!! The burger was amazing and all the herbs and lettuce was grown in the back!
(5)Janet D.
This place is just fabulous! They have their own garden out back, so lots of vegetables and herbs are picked as-needed for daily soups and other dishes. Chef Andy teaches at the WCTC Culinary School, so he stays on-top of new developments and recipe trends. Great wine list and unique craft beers available. This would be a terrific spot for a rehearsal dinner, anniversary or other special event. Highly recommend Lagniappe!
(5)Jamie Z.
My wife and I had dinner here last Friday night for our anniversary. We have eaten here a couple of times before and chose it because a) we knew we would get a good meal b) we feel it is reasonably priced for the quality of food and c) we didn't feel like fighting traffic on a Friday night and this restaurant is relatively close to our house. We've always enjoyed our meals here and this last visit was no exception. I started with the Mulligatawney (sp?) and it was exceptional. Tender pieces of lamb, flavorful broth and just the right amount of spice for my liking. Wife had the cream of mushroom soup and she enjoyed it. For dinner, I had skate wing and my wfie had grouper. Both were very good. Loved the fresh vegetables and potatoes that accompanied the meal. Especially given the fact that most of them probably came from their garden out back. Something to be said for that. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Very good services. Also enjoyed the beer I selected. The name escapes me, but it was a true English ale and not something you can find around here and it brought be back to the time I studied in London. Bonus! I really enjoy this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good, fresh, local food that is prepared well.
(4)Dean S.
Had a good experience given it was my first time. Sally, the waitress, was very helpful and didn't rush on ordering. The food was great. Will definitely come back again. What a gem for New Berlin!
(5)Matt B.
Chef Andy and his crew dose a good job at what they do providing good food and service. the menu is never the same so its always cool to try what Chef Andy and his Culinary team come up with. Ive been to Lagnaippe several time mainly for dinner and have always had good food and service. i went once my most current visit on Nov 2nd for lunch and it was really good i had the Kobe Burger with the 1999 sharp cheddar it was amazing. don't know if that's a normal menu item. but if you go for lunch and you see it on the menu, give it a try. give any food a try cause he has stuff that a lot of other restaurants don't have.
(5)Tom R.
The head chef Andrew Tenaglia (and I think the owner) is amazing!!! this review covers his appearances at Bastille Days and Wisconsin State Fair. We live on the North Shore and don't get the chance to get out by the restaurant as much as we would like to but if you do it will be worth the trip I assure ...will cover those details in a later review. If you get the chance to try his food at a festival don't pass it by!! At Bastille Days he had an amazing beef sandwich on a bun with a sauce/gravy that wish I could drink with a straw!! The quality of food presented is exceptional. At State fair I was lucky enough to try three of his dishes this year. They were located in the Wisconsin Products Pavillion representing Bison and did a Bison Sandwich that rival'd the beef sandwich from Bastille Days, I also had the Quiche with Bison which was superb with amazing home made crusts and the Creme Brulee (don't worry no Bison in it) was really, really good. The quality of food presented at these outdoor festivals is unsurpassed in my 40 + years in Milwaukee. The value for whats offered is exceptional. The passion for presenting unpretentious high quality approachable dining shines through what I've been able to sample at his outdoor outings. (just a side note he was occupying the lamb vendors booth a couple of years ago and it was NEVER better at State Fair. He does some out of this world Lamb preparations!!) If there was a category for best food at the fair Laginappe Brasserie wins hands down

My wife and I recently dined there after making reservations. This was our first time dining at Lagniappe Brasserie, so we were a bit excited as we read reviews which seemed to be good. We arrived about 10 minutes prior to our reservation time and when we walked in we were slowly greeted by a somewhat crabby hostess. There were plenty of tables open around us, in both the main dining room and entrance dining area. The hostess told us to wait one minute while she checked to see if our table was ready. She returned and said the table was not ready and that we could wait at the bar. My wife and I looked at one another in somewhat disbelief and then went to the bar. There was a bar tender there who also was not very outgoing, something we are not that used to, especially dining at other restaurants. We had to ask for a wine menu, as well as prompt him for other questions. Looking around the place was definitely outdated in terms of woodwork. The bar only sat three, and the bar top was cramped, loaded with a bottle of cholula hot sauce, as well as a powdered sugar dispenser, bottle of lotion, and a book. Behind the bar exposed a Swiffer dusting brush within their exposed wine rack. I was crossing my fingers that we made the right choice for our anniversary dinner. At our reservation time, we were promptly seated. Only to be seated in a table right where we checked in. Why would the hostess have walked away in the beginning to check on our table when our table was directly across from where she haphazardly greeted us in the first place? Both my wife and I were confused. The hostess still had no smile and seemed put off. Keep in mind this is pretty much a family ran business. We found this out after asking the bar tender a few questions. He did not seem all that excited about that whole idea as well. As we waited for our server, we looked around and noticed that the main dining area was fairly busy, and mostly occupied by folks aging 50 and over. We were probably the youngest there. No big deal. The interior design definitely was aged and in our opinion needed a lot of work. Dull and boring to say the least. The atmosphere was quiet. Maybe everyone was intimidated by the disgruntled hostess or something, who knows. Fortunately we were saved by our server. Sally was super friendly and changed our attitude about the place. Trust me, it was not a great start for the first 25 minutes. Sally brought us a fresh bread basket that included a liver pate butter, olive oil with a sprig of tarragon, and regular whipped butter. The bread contained about four slices of a light wheat bread, as well as a fruit cake type bread which neither one of us cared for. The liver butter was good, and the olive oil and tarragon brought nothing to the table in terms of flavor. Their menu changes on a somewhat daily basis from what we learned. They had a variety of entrees from seafood to pork, to kobe beef. Sally informed us their entrees came with a soup or salad, of which were on the appetizer list, and of which we were going to order an appetizer, so upon knowing that, we ordered no appetizer. My wife and I ordered their mixed green salad, and I the New York strip, my wife the Kobe beef. While waiting for our salads, Sally came over and brought us both a small plate with another prepared liver item, thinly sliced, along with a quinoa salad, course grain mustard, and a small cornichon. A small bite, but very delicious. My wife is not a fan of any type of pate, so I ate hers. We both loved the salad. It's house made vinaigrette really brought everything together. The salad would have been better if three huge rings of red onion were not sloppily plated on my wife's salad. My onions were sliced and chopped. Our food arrived and was cooked perfectly how were ordered it, medium. My wife's kobe beef had a great red wine reduction sauce on it, and was served with roasted root vegetables including carrots, and golden beats, along with a braised rainbow chard, along with roasted fingerling potatoes. My steak was served with the same sides, but only a small spoonful of the chard. I was a bit confused on that plating. Regardless, the roasted vegetables and steak wiped away our bad experience with the hostess. Trust me, it was not that great of an experience at the beginning and was somewhat of a turnoff, hence why I am only giving this a three star experience. We decided to order dessert. The chocolate sampler. It arrived with chocolate crepes that had a sweet ricotta stuffing, a flourless chocolate cake, and some mixed berries. The dessert was really, really good as well. After we had a couple glasses of wine, and a full meal, we received the bill and were extremely impressed. It was a great meal and well worth the money. Fortunately the food saved our experience. I would have given this a 5 star rating if it were not from the bad service from the beginning, atmosphere, and the interior design.

I really wanted to like this place, since it's reasonably priced and there's really not anything like it nearby. To shortly sum up our experience: everything was either too salty or way too salty. We started off pretty happy with our escargot and complimentary items. The bread with pate was tasty and so was our Lagniappe (a bite of quiche with applewood bacon). The next course was soup. Lentil soup was pretty unique and tasty but on the salty side. After that it went downhill fast. Monkfish - I had a bite of this and it tasted ok, but the primary eater thought it was not on the fresh side. Filet Mignons - This tasted pretty good and was the best dish of the three, but I was a little scared of eating the pork medallions. I've heard of eating pork that is slightly pinkish on the inside, but mine was still raw in the middle. Ribs - This was a real oddball item on the menu, but we gave it a shot. I definitely would not recommend these. They were way overcooked and after we cut off the charred crust, the inside was dry and flavorless. ...and finally the sides. Let's just say that we could store these in a pirate ship and not worry about them going bad in a month. The fried potato wedges and strips had pretty good texture but were way oversalted. The broccoli was even worse. I'm surprised it didn't crystallize into broccoli salt before my eyes. After that, we didn't want to chance dessert. It's kind of sad since there were quite a few good reviews on this restaurant. This is just a guess, but maybe it's because it was a Saturday and the head chef was off?

Went to lunch with a friend today. He ordered fish, and after an inordinately long wait, we started eating. My friend's fish was a bit rubbery, but he did not want to make a fuss about it, so he picked through the bits he thought were OK. At the end of the meal I mentioned the quality of the fish to the waitress (who was very nice). She offered to have someone talk to us about it. Another lady (not sure of her role) stopped by the table and, when looking at the picked through fish remarked "Well it looks like you enjoyed most of it but whatever, we'll take it off the bill". She then walked away. Nice. I thought it was important to give some feedback, but did not expect them to take anything off the bill. Given the unprofessional lady's demeanor, I wasn't given the chance to tell her that, but I did mention it to the waitress. While it was nice that she took the fish off of the bill, we didn't need the attitude to go along with it. Won't be going back.

We normally do not go out for expensive meals like this, but we were celebrating and decided to try it out. Lagniappe is a very small, intimate restaurant. We came on a weekday, so business was not booming, but we hear they can get quite busy on the weekends. Their wine list is not as big as I had hoped, and buying by the bottle doesn't really save you any money. Their cheapest bottle was more expensive than I typically spend, but it was very good. The menu is not very large, but I love the fact that it is all made extremely fresh, and the menu is changed daily based on what they have in stock. I had a delicious meal that was perfect for me; full of variety. We started out with complementary bread served with duck pate, butter and oil. A salad came with my meal. Before dinner was served, they brought out some quiche that they called out lagniappe (which apparently means "a little something extra"). My main course had Emu, Lamb with this amazing sauce, glazed potatoes and a vegetable that I can't seem to remember right now. All of it was delicious and the variety was amazing. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the opportunity to chat with the head chef for a bit.

Fine dining at an affordable price. Everything is fresh & delicious. They even have their own garden out back where they grow heirloom tomatoes, herbs and produce. A real little gem in the suburbs!

Great burger-definitely go for aged cheddar.

I was just here recently for a family lunch. You've got to WANT to go here, because it's not really near anything else! The interior is cosy with a "european" feel. The menu is small which generally means the quality is up, and that's the case here. I ordered a Kobe beef burger which was spectacular. Someone in our group had the fish fry (it was a Friday) and it was very good. I'm rarely surprised at how inexpensive a place is, but I was here. All things considered, the vast majority of the menu could be considered "cheap". The wait staff our day there was basically good cop/bad cop. One was all smiles and very friendly, the other treated us more like an inconvenience than paying customers. Everyone has a bad day, so I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt this time. After the meal we were each presented individual plates with a little euro-style cookie on it. This we were told was "a little something extra" which is basically the translation of the places name, which I can't remember or pronounce for the life of me! Great place for a small dinner group, or a romantic night out with your significant other.
