A short drive to great food (Excerpt from Getto's Top 30)
- Dennis Getto

The Top 30 will tell you where to get a great meal in the Milwaukee area. But beyond Milwaukee and its close suburbs, the number of good restaurants grows steadily.

Depending on where you live, some of these places might not be far away. But even if they are, all are worth the drive.

** Sebastian's
6025 Douglas Ave., Caledonia (262) 681-5465. Fresh ingredients form the backbone of excellent dishes like fish, duck and steaks. Try the apple tart for a great dessert.
Sebastian's Offers Great Seafood and More

I was really impressed when a friend and I stopped in for dinner on a crisp spring evening in April. Seated at an attractively set table with fresh flowers, our entrees were exquisite.

Seafood's a specialty and the most impressive was sea bass, covered with finely chopped leeks, cilantro, butter and shallots, then wrapped in a banana leaf. A fresh sweet sauce of red peppers accented it nicely.

And I also appreciated the fact that our server didn't demand that we order the fish rare (as is the fashion these days). My dining companion wanted the tuna completely cooked, so she ordered it well done. The luscious tuna steak arrived completely cooked, but not at all dry.

Sebastian's doesn't bill itself as a steakhouse, but its 13 ounce ribeye matched those that I've eaten at the stop spots in Milwaukee.

Portabella mushroom ravioli was also a masterpiece - six handmade dumplings were filled with a rich mushroom and cheese filling, then covered with a classic Italian sage butter sauce.

This restaurant is worth a detour off Interstate 94. Exit at 7 Mile Road and head east to Highway 32. Turn south and the restaurant will be a few miles ahead on the left.
