Supporting Local Business - Jimmy Wade's Heaven City

In the interest of full disclosure this restuarant is owned by my wife's second cousin.

Having said that, Jimmy Wade's Heaven City offers an upscale and unique experience. Located in Mukwonago the building is said to be haunted and is a former hangout of Al Capone. It's done in a unique "Florida" architecture style and is unlike any other restuarant that I have been to. As an added bonus, the old National Liquor sign is now in the parking lot. The sign is an old southside landmark and it's nice to see it being used.

The menu focuses on steak and seafood and the chefs seem to put an emphasis on using top quality ingredients. The steaks are good enough to rival any of the downtown steakhouses (and those are all almost universally great), but I generally go for the seafood au gratin which is a comfort dish that fuses shrimp and scallops with an au gratin finish.

They have an extensive wine and spirit list to go with the menu.

Again, this is an upscale style restuarant and is priced accordingly. It's something for a special occasion and is different from the usual places one would consider going.

If you are looking for a more casual night to go they do "Tapas Tuesday" each Tuesday where the menu features smaller dishes and the also have a "Friday Fish Try" which is a different twist on the usual Wisconsin fish fry.

They are located at S91 W27850 National Avenue in Mukwonago and can be visited on the web at www.heavencity.com.
