  1. Their portions, at least in Brookfield, were teensy for the price...
  2. Not surprised. Charro wasn't on the same level as Surg's other restaurants. When the downtown location first opened, it was pretty good but all other visits after that were inconsistent and the whole "pan-Latin" thing never really connected. Looking forward to the new place and hope that it can be as good Umami Moto and Graffito.
  3. Just another example of why no lenders will back a restaurant/bar operation. Very much risk, little reward.

  4. It was great food and atmosphere, which will be missed. My wife and I are looking forward to what is to come. The upside is that the space was not consumed (pun intended) by a chain restaurant.
  5. The report leads with the statement that the restaurant on Milwaukee Street, in downtown Milwaukee, will close.
  6. The Brookfield restaurant has seen failure after failure since the Forum closed. According to one of the owners, there were too many family members trying to get rich off of the Forum, and greed made it impossible for any one of them to buy it. What the location needs is a good Greek restaurant ala Maxim's or any number of places on south 108th St. Does it take a rocket science to see that? Why do banks keep making loans for bad restaurants?
