Short Orders
Overlooking busy Prospect Avenue from the ground floor of the Shorecrest Hotel, the Savoy Room (1962 N. Prospect Ave.) is a splendid setting redolent of bygone elegance. The walls are black marble, the floors terrazzo and white linen tablecloths are topped with little lamps.

Dining Out
In Spanish, cielito lindo means pretty sky. In Milwaukee, Cielito Lindo defines simple Mexican fare in a colorful setting on Milwaukees South Side. The ceiling in the main dining room portrays a vivid blue sky, in the center of which is a giant eagle with talons outstretched, and murals of bright Mexican scenery adorn the walls.
