| - Fabulous little place on the near-east side of Madison; glad to see the Underground folks back up and running!
Small menu but plenty of things worth trying. Incredibly detailed cocktail menu as well for those who enjoy high-class alcoholic concoctions. Small but classy selection of beers and wines.
Some of the portion sizes don't make sense (e.g., the amazing "ripped" bread seems designed for four and thus was a bit overwhelming for me and my wife, and the cheese platter has one type of cheese in a rather large amount instead of a few smaller offerings), so that is something to plan around when ordering. Or perhaps the proprietors will figure out that offering a 1/2 ripped bread is a good idea, once they read this sparkling review. You do read these reviews, right?
The spanish chicken is simply amazing.
Looking forward to going back. Do be warned that the place can get a little loud, if you care about that sort of thing (i.e., you're old, like me). For example, the people sitting next to us thought everything they said was quite funny, leading to staccato bursts of laughter in my right ear, while I can assure you that really only a small fraction of their bon mots really hit the mark; it might be that the cocktail menu (detailed above) had something to do with this.
