We celebrated my birthday dinner at the Brown Bottle, where we had a table for ten. I ordered the short ribs, and they were incredibly tender.

Eating was very good, and the service was great. We caught the end of the happy hour on Friday night, and we were somehow the only people we arrived at first. it was nice to have the huge, beautiful it area for us, but I was shocked that it wasn't packed because everything was great. I'm sure we'll come back when we're in milwaukee.

I really enjoyed the mussels and the perch fish fry! I'm looking forward to going back to sample more dishes from their menu.
