Food's ok...kind of bland. Nothing's been bad but nothing spectacular either. To be fair, German food isn't something that really speaks to me and I can't speak to the German beer as I'm not much of a beer drinker. Still, there are many better choices in Madison for food, including in that area. The times I've been there they've never been busy so it's a place you can be seated right away, which can be good if you're hungry but that probably doesn't bode so well for them. They also screwed us over on Restaurant Week. We didn't want dessert and the bartender told us we can order a la carte. So we ordered two of the apps and two of the entrees, thinking we were just forgoing the dessert portion that would have been included in the price which was fine with us. What he didn't tell us was that he was entering the orders individually so the portion sizes are the same, we'd just be charged double for the same thing. How he thought that's what we'd want to do is beyond my understanding but hey it was a lesson learned.
