This is probably the only breakfast/brunch restaurant we'll ever go to again, which is saying a lot since we live in Madison and there are a lot of places to choose from. This place is spectacular! I have only superlatives to use in describing it:
The food is outstanding. We split an order of plain pancakes and the pot pie of the day, which was chili beef with cheese. They were both fabulous! One of the reasons we decided to go to Ogden's was that we were celebrating our anniversary and they serve pie for breakfast. My partner loves pie, so this was a great treat for her. There's a pie of the day and they're actually more like tarts: individual little gems in a pastry crust almost as light and delicately flavorful as a pate choux. It's a must with their homemade whipped cream.
Our server was perfect and perfectly attentive. He can apparently read minds since he was always at hand, anticipating our needs. He was knowledgeable and had a terrific sense of humor! He also introduced us to the patron sitting next to us who is a regular. She had some great tips about best times to come (not on weekends if you don't want to wait) and about how wonderful everything on the menu is.
We're hoping to become regulars, too, so even though it's probably the best restaurant in Madison, please don't go there so we can always get a table!
