Scrambled eggs, potatoes and salami; the “super” HP adds vegetables and cheese. Corned beef hash rarely disappoints. Nor does my Jewish deli fallback – a bagel topped with lox, cream cheese and red onion.

Pabst is on tap, of course, and is joined by 12 Wisconsin beers (New Glarus, Lakefront, etc.). The bottle list includes roughly 40 options, and if you feel like slumming it, you can order a can of Old Milwaukee.

This little bake shop has earned a diverse, devoted following for its cookies (triple-chocolate ginger), pastries (croissant) and rustic whole grain breads.

Seasonal menu features things like cheese and charcuterie, charred octopus and Korean beef tartare. Also wood-roasted pizzas.
The upper-level dining room at View MKE was designed to accentuate the restaurant’s No.1 asset – the panorama of the city.
