MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY. First, the basics. In order to dine at Five O'Clock, you absolutely must make a reservation. Reservations for Friday and Saturday evenings are taken starting at 4pm on Tuesdays, and you'll need to call right at 4pm (along with hundreds of others). Once you have that coveted reservation, though, you're set. Upon arrival, have a seat in the bar, place your order, and then relax with a cocktail. Once at your table you'll find a huge salad, bread, and a relish tray ­ they're all good, but don't eat too much, because the steaks are huge. Most recommended are the filet mignon, pork chops, and a bone-in rib eye, served with the house's patented meaty juice and your choice of potato. The ambience is very relaxed, in a 1950s supper club sort of way.

DOWNTOWN. Although known for a full menu of great food, Vecchio Bar & Grille is often talked about for their incredible desserts. Dark and rich double chocolate cheesecake, tangy and cool key lime pie, and tiramisu prepared with strawberries. Nirvana for chocolate lovers: A dark ambrosia chocolate fondue that serves two and is served with fruit and cake for dipping. Did someone say constant craving?

DOWNTOWN. If you're into barbecue and Cajun food, there's no better place to go. The atmosphere is convivial and relaxed, with antique beer signs on the walls, several TVs showing the big games, and a huge outdoor patio that gets packed during the warmer months. Ribs, brisket, and chicken get the royal treatment here, smoked and slow cooked until the meat is tender and delicious; three sauces are served on the side. Combo platters are a good choice, and you can even get family-size dinners, complete with sides. The lunchtime crowd usually opts for sandwiches, with pulled pork, Cajun catfish, and rotisserie chicken being popular choices. A family-friendly Milwaukee favorite by day, Brew City also has a lively bar scene and live music on weekends.

DOWNTOWN. The name says it all: Mo's is THE place for steaks.

AIRPORT. How can a decades old, family-run ice cream stand on 27th Street attract so much attention? Start with some of the best frozen custard in town (especially the chocolate), add a comfortable menu of American standards, and throw in some good old 1950s ambience. What you end up with is Arnold's on "Happy Days." Well, not actually Arnold's, but the model for it ­ Leon's. A huge success when it opened, Leon's has continued to be popular despite passing fads and frozen yogurt. Drop in for a burger and a shake, or a highly recommended hot fudge sundae!

DOWNTOWN. Tired of the same old burgers and boring sandwiches? Waterfront Deli has a cure for those lunchtime blahs ­ the Bag Lunch. Call or fax your order for one, which includes two sides and a cookie or brownie. So how about mesquite-smoked turkey with dilled havarti and oven-dried tomatoes? Maybe certified Angus top sirloin roast beef with caramelized onions, or fresh mozzarella with basil, roasted red peppers, and tomato pesto. Or even a BALT ­ bacon, arugula, lox and tomato on toasted French bread. Not in the mood for a sandwich? The deli also has sushi, salads, and soups, and if the whole office is hungry, you can order platters and have them delivered!

GREENFIELD. The locals may call this "Garrison" Kopps (check out the décor), and once you taste their frozen custard, you'll forget all about the ever-advancing army of frozen yogurt shops and ice cream parlor chains. The troops inside serve up some of the best frozen custard you will ever taste, with merit badges going especially to the vanilla. Burgers and fries are complemented by a changing "shake of the month," malts, and sundaes. Chocolate and vanilla are always available, with a third flavor changing daily. Worth saluting!

An unwavering dedication to the freshest seasonal ingredients results in an ever-changing menu, but past favorites have included a pear and Roquefort tart with caramelized onions, grilled tuna with cumin wafers, and a Sardinian grilled scallop over couscous with walnut aioli. Desserts are also a house specialty ­ save room for decadent treats like warm chocolate espresso cake or a banana butterscotch toffee tart. Four-course dinner $49; seven-course chef's menu $85, $115 with wine pairings.
