there's nothing new to say about the terrace that hasn't already been said, but it's hard to live in Madison for this long and NOT review it....so I'm agreeing with all good reviews before me:
1. Best atmosphere during the summer.
2. Best place for large groups.
3. Best place to get excited about life and Madison.
4. Best place to relax after a long day at work.
Only drawbacks:
1. A pitcher of beer can be expensive if you want anything good- certainly don't go here for cheap drinking.
2. Not a great music venue for quality, but certainly for free music in an energetic atmophere.
