Vote in the Food Fight: Date Night Poll

Which of these three is the best place for a date in Waukesha?

Patch asked, and you answered, in comments on Facebook, stories and restaurant reviews. From our original field of restaurants, we've narrowed it down to three.  People's Park is a popular spot, with a menu that includes appetizers like truffle-oil drizzled French fries, sandwiches and steak.  Key Westconsinfeatures regional specialties, including fish fry, lobster rolls and other dishes from the east coast. Montecito Ristorante Lounge is a newcomer to Downtown Waukesha. The Italian restaurant opened in December 2011, in the space formerly home to El Ranchito.
