For main dishes, which the restaurant labels "something special," the taste of Wisconsin is found in entrees like pan-seared walleye pike and Nueske's bacon and cheese pappardelle, in addition to distinctive steak, chicken, seafood and vegetarian specialties. "We're taking a classic, old-school approach to cocktails," says Brashier. All are handmade and, keeping with the locally sourced theme, often contain Wisconsin ingredients. The Blue Martini, for example, uses Bacon Infused Rehorst Vodka and olives stuffed with Carr Valley Billy Boy's Blue Cheese. Roaring Dan's Maple Rum, another Rehorst product from Milwaukee's Great Lakes Distillery, is combined with ginger beer in a Lake Michigan Dark & Stormy. Taylor, whose background includes four-star restaurants in Texas and the historic Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, also plans limited-seating events in the near future. Expect farm-to-table events, wine dinners and special holiday dining specials. Millioke is open daily from 6:30-10:30 a.m. for breakfast, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. for lunch and 4-11 p.m. for dinner.
