On the drinks alone, this place gets two stars. The mixed drinks are weak, albeit pretty good tasting. I've sampled a number of different drinks, and none blew me away. The happy hour prices are a nice deal (all day sundays, m-f 4-7). You get $2 off wines by the glass and $ 2 off "modest sippers." There are also food deals.
****One big annoyance....which is a minor thing, but unbelievably stupid policy on their part.... they don't "do" happy hour if you want to sit outside.....WHY?! You have a large outdoor seating area (which looks out on the parking lot....), but you won't give the $2 off drinks outside....I've thought about it, and I just don't get the policy here. Is it really not worth your time to just have a server walk the extra 10 feet outside? It just seems stingy. If i'm paying four bucks for your watered down sugar drinks, just let me enjoy it outside as I admire the all those pretty cars that your upscale wine bar looks out on.
This place is filling the classy, wine bar niche in the otherwise beer-saturated Madison. If you're looking at exploring some wines, and have some cash, give it a whirl.
