Crazy Water – Milwaukee WI

For Dale’s birthday dinner, he chose Crazy Water.  This restaurant in the fifth ward area of Milwaukee was a great choice.  According to the restaurant’s site, this was an old feed building.  We sat outside, in the back of the restaurant.  However, our walk through the intimate dining/bar area gave us a great feel

Today is my birthday.  No, don't wish me a happy birthday…not looking for well wishes.  (Not looking for boos either…)  We celebrated my birthday last Friday evening.  We tried a restaurant in the third ward area of Milwaukee called the Palms Bistro & Bar.

 

We had a wonderful experience there.  Set in
