Overall





The Queen Mary here is not the only queen we have seen in Milwaukee.  Harry's also has a Queen Mary.  They are both served in Weiss Bier glasses, and both are actually quite tasty.  A little too much horseradish in this one for the taste of some in our party.  Hot, but not overwhelming on the spice.  We were thinking between 3 1/2 and 4, but the garnish and chaser give this one the benefit of a doubt.

The shrimp is spicy as well, and the pepper-jack cheese is great!

They will ask for your preference among their various tap selections, including Stella and Spotted Cow, among others.

Overall










Ok, so you may have noticed the address is not Milwaukee.  I was in New Orleans recently, having a Po Boy a this restaurant that advertised its 'world famous' bloody marys.  In a city known for cocktails, this is quite a claim.  Naturally I had to try one, and here you have the result.

Oh, the drink itself was flavorful, if light on alcohol. But the rather pathetic garnish, and complete lack of a chaser (they don't serve a chaser anywhere in New Orleans it seems) means there is one good reason to be glad I'm back in Milwaukee,

Two limes. Really?
