After a long 8 years in college changing majors and switching colleges I FINALLY graduated in May of 2012. I am now a Registered Dental Hygienist looking for a job
. So in honor of that Aaron took me and a close classmate of mine out for a fancy dinner to celebrate graduating. We went to Carnevor which is located at 724 N. Milwaukee Street in Milwaukee. You almost always need a reservation here and like I said, its pretty fancy. The wait staff is very attentive and are always filling your water and if you leave the table they refold your napkins, all that fancy stuff. The decor is also very modern. I thought it was a little loud and also a little too dark. We ordered a bottle of Riesling, J.J. Mueller a 2010 from Germany. It was DELICIOUS
. Crisp and sweet. Aaron ordered a glass of Bells Oberon, one of his new favorite beers. Hopefully I can convince Aaron to give me a little more info on his favorite beers at some point in the future. They start the table off with a mini loaf of bread and some garlic herbed butter which was quite good. Aaron and I got a salad. I got a Caesar which was good, I opted for no Anchovies and Aaron got a Wedge Salad, chopped up and topped with Nueskes Bacon (more on Nueskes later). Aaron said his was very fresh, good cheese and bacon which is really the most important part. Enough about the salads.... They have 2 different cuts of meat, Prime Cuts and Reserve Cuts. I am
always completely satisfied with the Prime Cut and Aaron did get a
Reserve Cut one time and couldn't tell a difference. All 3 of us got a
Filet, which is my all time favorite cut of meat. I order my steaks
medium, so does Aaron. My friend Amanda ordered hers medium well and they butterfly it for her so that it doesn't get too charred.
Aaron got a bone in Filet and didn't realize just how much more undone
the meat gets towards the bone. It ended up being a bit too uncooked for his liking but he got to finish my steak so he wasn't completely unsatisfied. Amanda and I thought the steaks were delicious. I had a
garlic herb butter melted on top of my steak which made it even
juicier! The sides on the other hand weren't all that great. We had an order of Asparagus that was far too over cooked, a side of mini twice baked potatoes which I didn't like because they seemed almost too sweet, but Aaron and Amanda did enjoy them. There was also a side order of Steak Fries which were just OK. They were very crispy and seasoned. Really this place is all about the Steak (and seafood, which neither I nor Aaron eat). To finish it all off we got an order of Doughnuts which the waiter included for free since we we're celebrating (thanks!). The Doughnuts were balls of fried dough served with a chocolate sauce, vanilla cream sauce and a seasonal berry sauce. YUM.
