Good Eatin'

Here is one fantastic guidebook on restaurants that makes the whole state of Wisconsin seem like a delicious destination. The book has a perfect layout, very easy to use and understand. Each restaurant featured is given with thorough information which includes the street address, telephone and/or fax numbers, web addresses, general cost, hours when open and what signature dishes they're known for. Also noted is if the restaurant has a bar/cocktail lounge, vegetarian entrees, a children's menu, wheelchair accessibility, smoking/non-smoking, if reservations are recommended or if the restaurant is available for private parties and for what maximum amount, plus what credit cards are accepted or if out-of-town checks are okay with ID. Not to mention the inviting personal description of menu choices and ambiance presented by the author. He even brings some humorous insight to explaining the "fish fry" phenomenon of the Midwest, particularly Wisconsin as well as the variance in super club definition to the locality. After the great introduction comes the list of restaurant recommendations, which are sectioned off by regions and arranged in chapters titled: Madison, Just Beyond Madison, Middleton, Baraboo Area, Southeastern Gateway, Milwaukee, Just Beyond Milwaukee, Lake Geneva & Vicinity, Beloit & Janesville, East Shore, Green Bay, Fox River Valley, Door County, WI Dells & Lake Delton, Central WI, North Woods, Lake Superior Shore, Southwest, La Crosse & Vicinity, and finally Eau Claire & Vicinity. What follows next is an index of restaurants in each region grouped for easy reference according to special accommodations, with such preferences as vegetarian, outdoor dining, birthday parties, senior discounts, early bird specials and light menus. On the final few pages is a very handy town/city index plus a separate restaurant index.With a pinch of humor and a dash of genuine honesty from the author you can be sure to locate a great place to dine in Wisconsin, either casual or not quite so. You'll find that the restaurants featured here are surely above the ordinary in everything you could ever ask for in a good place to eat. Every imaginable type of cuisine is represented, from French to Italian to Swedish to German, from Mediterranean to Mexican, American Steakhouse to Midwest Regional and Contemporary, from Chinese to Thai to Seafood and Sushi, from Supper Club and pub to family dining. There is a scrumptious variety of restaurant choices served up to truly satisfy the hungry traveler. A recommendable, one of a kind guidebook.
