| - One of the most urbane restaurants in Madison. I like the communal, intimate feel. You can sit down at one of for tables for two or 4 or one of the 3 larger tables with seating for seven or eight. At these larger tables, you may sit with just two people and then 6 other people may join you.
Now, about the food. The food overall was fantastic. My favorite dish was the ravioli with duck egg and bacon. The duck fat fries were phenomenal. They have Parmesan cheese and a garlic aioli to dip in, they were hot and tasty. a few other dishes that we shared with our friends included the beets, the octopus, scallops, and ribeye steak. Everything was cooked very well. The flavors they imparted to the foods were amazing. The aforementioned ravioli was probably the best bite of food i have had in 3 years. A couple of smaller issues for me: the ribeye was a little overdone and I thought a little dry. Also, the piece of octopus I had was unchewanle. However, our friends, who shared the dishes with us, raved about the tenderness.
We were there for 3 hours and the service was excellent and unobtrusive the entire evening. Overall, I would absolutely go back to this restaurant.
