I wanted to like this place alot! The atmosphere coming in is exciting, welcoming, and all around nice. We got seated very promptly and then greeted by our server Alisa -- who was super duper awesome. She would get 5 stars alone, but alas these reviews are due to a culmination of different factors so i'll give you the low down.
1) Donuts: Fresh made, I had the apple pie special. They should really warm them up before they serve it. While the flavor was okay, the filling was great which salvaged the entirety of it. It was just okay and I don't need to order it again.
2) $3 mimosas before 10am. AWESOME
3) I got the carnitas hash-- meat was super flavorful, salsa had the perfect kick, but the potatoes, onions and bell peppers were all super bland and made up a large portion of the meal verses the meat. Egg over medium was cooked perfectly.
4) Cheddar chive biscuit--DELISH. a definite get.
5) homemade strawberry jam- also very good, but can almost feel like you're eating the strawberry topping for a sundae.
6) service-- top notch and loving it.
For the atmosphere and service it was great. 5 stars. for the food and flavor 3. Its a good brunch place to start if you haven't had brunch in madison, but overall I wasn't impressed.
