The good - Patio seating area and service were pretty good. The place is brand new and it shows. Nothing worn or broken. Music volume on the patio was perfect - audible but still able to talk to a table of people.
The bad - While others have raved about the lemon vinaigrette I thought it had very little flavor and was just an oily mess. There aren't many other dressing choices either and this was their 'signature' dressing. It wasn't for me.
We had the wings app and while cooked correctly they had no sauce on them at all. They were served with a small pile of salad greens dressed with what tasted like the lemon vinaigrette with some BBQ sauce mixed in. Strange at least, it was just plain weird. Were you supposed to dip the wings in the salad dressing? Maybe we just didn't get it.
I also expected more draught beer selections. They had a number of bottled beers but I can get that at Woodman's. Waypoint has many more draught options.
We asked if this place and the Waypoint in Monona had the same owner and they said no. However the menus looked and were presented the same, the menu selections were very close and the décor seemed like a close replica. If it is the same owner they should bring one of the chefs over from Waypoint for a while to jump start the menu or at least make a decent salad dressing.
I will spend my money at the Waypoint over this one at least for now.
