This place, which started with so much potential and so much local goodwill, is slowly squandering it. Having been here three times, I've noticed a marked decline in service and attentiveness.
The servers seem untrained and just unfamiliar with how friendly, attentive and efficient service should go. While the menu has always been interesting (for a bar/restaurant, anyway), the execution has been very inconsistent. I agree with a previous reviewer about portion sizes...never the same twice. Sometimes quality is excellent, sometimes it's just not very good.
I would love this place to be a thriving destination for the whole Madison area, but I fear it'll end up being McFarland Townie Bar #4.
