This, by a wide margin, is my very favorite place to eat and drink in Madison.
The food is always fantastic. I've been to dinner many times over the years and also to have their late night menu options and they've not failed me once. The atmosphere is always comfortable and the servers are always professional and personable.
For dinner, I recommend the filet in your choice of size, and get hash browns or Brussels sprouts to go along with it.
For late night, get the bacon bleu cheese burger and cheese curds.
Oh, and get the classic brandy old fashioned, sweet. You won't be sorry.
