SEAFOOD
We love it when restaurants offer consistency, and that’s what this category brings, as this year’s winners appear in the same order as last year: Harbor House, known for lobster rolls, an enticing raw bar and buffet brunch (550 N. Harbor Dr.); St. Paul Fish Company (Milwaukee Public Market, 400 N. Water St.), a busy spot for mussels, king crab and Friday fish fries; and Maxie’s (6732 W. Fairview Ave.), where specialties include pecan-crusted trout; shrimp and grits; and the oyster bar.
STEAK
The red-meat game is solidly held by this trio, a repeat of our 2016 winners – Five O’Clock Steakhouse (2416 W. State St.), Carnevor (718 N. Milwaukee St.) and Eddie Martini’s (8612 W. Watertown Plank Rd.).
SUPPER CLUB
This year, Joey Gerard’s (5601 Broad St., Greendale) and the Shorecrest Hotel’s Supper (1962 N. Prospect Ave.) moved up the ranks to Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, pushing last year’s No. 1 – Jackson Grill (3736 W. Mitchell St.) – to third place. What’s interesting here is that parent company Bartolotta Restaurants is converting the Mequon Joey Gerard’s to a Mr. B’s Steakhouse, which brings the number of Joey Gerard’s down to one. Supper has upped its menu game since opening in 2016, adding nightly specials like fresh pasta and fried chicken, a house-ground beef burger and lots of seasonal ingredients that make it the most modern “supper club” in the area.
