| - Bang Bang Shrimp is worth getting--has a nice flavor and crunch to it, but could be spicier. I'm not into super spicy foods, and this dish didn't really come close to my threshold. They provide warm, soft bread with an olive oil/pesto blend to dip it in--I'll probably try to recreate that. I chose the Tilapia Imperial with a side of French green beans (the optional part) and "seasonal vegetable," which ended up being spaghetti squash. With living in the Pacific Northwest and traveling to Boston and Hawaii, this was hands down one of the best pieces of fish I've ever had. The stuffing of shrimp, crab, & scallops within it seemed almost non-existent, though. The scallops were really the only noticeable piece in it, even then, they were the tiny scallop variety. A lemon caper sauce is drizzled over the dish and it compliments it well. The biggest miss was the spaghetti squash--not much to it and I feel like there are a lot more favorable produce selections for this time of the year. Butternut squash puree maybe? Anything with a better texture, mouth feel, and flavor. I remember reading about it from another review when the place first opened up. Wasn't thrilled when I asked what the seasonal vegetable was and that was the selection . You'd be better off paying extra for a different side from their selections.
Overall, service was exceptional and friendly, fish is delicious, bread & oil dip is worth a fuller stomach. For a chain in Madison, it's a nice option. A little pricey. Nice ambience. 3.5/5 would be more accurate.
