Cow, my thought exactly! Before they moved, they had a very focused menu, great service, low key atmosphere, I loved it! Since they moved, we go there when we want our toddler to be able to run around while we eat.

Yes, North Star in #1. But East Garden and #1 Chinese. They must be joking.

I would put Benji's and Nana at the top of the list. Third would be Anaba followed by Harry's. I think that Three Lions probably deserves a spot in the top 10 as well.

Never eaten at Three Lions, no desire to support that place, I think it's completely out of place where it is and a blight on the neighborhood.

Blight on the neighborhood? I have never known them to be a problem--is there a story that goes along with that?

Cow, as someone who lives close by, it's quite the annoying place. The Village puts no restrictions on what time they can keep their patio open in the summer, or how many people can be standing outside any given time, or what time they can have live music until (with their windows open so the whole neighborhood can hear). They don't have anyone outside, like a bouncer, who might reign in the idiots who frequent the patio until 2am yelling and screaming like they're children, which, judging by the crowd a lot of them probably are. It just doesn't fit in the area, you've got restaurants, upscale apartment homes, regular homes, even the wine bar closes at a respectable hour. I can't tell you how many times we've had to have the SPD come and restore some sort of order after being awoken by drunken idiots on their patio, stumblimg home, and revving engines at all hours.

I live further South, so I never heard of those issues before. I've never been there for any live music, just the soccer games.

Does the Village Pub have similar issues with their outdoor drinking area?

I lived 2 doors down from the Village Pub for over a year, and barely ever heard a peep, whether it was 7pm with a full patio or 2am with everyone clearing out. I think the Pub tends to get a slightly older skewing crowd, who are slightly more respectful. Three Lions is a little piece of Water st. dropped right in the heart of Shorewood, and it sucks.
