Tips for Vivo Urban Grill
January 09, 2004
This hip spot is perfect for everything from a trendy breakfast to late-night drinks..
The Scene
Housed in the same building that served as the home of Milwaukee's legendary German restaurant, the John Ernst Cafe, for so many years (and now shared by Chipotle and Panera Bread), this sleek and chic restaurant/bar manages to serve an audience that ranges from the breakfast crowd to those wanting a $35 margarita.
The Food
Start off with duck-filled egg rolls for an appetizer--fried to a crispy brown and sliced on the bias, these feature a quite-mild portion of duck. Churrasco is a small portion of beef on a stick, grilled and served with a lime sauce. Lunchgoers will enjoy a selection of salads, sandwiches and single-serving pizzas. With a sandwich or a burger, try the yucca fries--they're lighter, crispier and starchier than potato, but great for dipping. For dessert, try the white chocolate-cherry-chocolate chip bread pudding--it's easily enough for three to share.
