I hadn't been here in a few years and this was only my second visit but despite negative reviews from people who live in Madison, I'd have to say our experience was quite pleasant. The service was very earnest and friendly. The food was pretty good (exception being that my husband likes his burgers medium rare- he ordered his rare and it still came well-done) and they are super nice to kids. Also, the prices are very reasonable. We didn't have any booze. The one thing I was surprised by was the size of our lunch plates. We all got sandwiches that came with sides and the plates were too small to hold everything. The result was a mess on the table. Not sure what that's about. I would go back for brunch or lunch- just not sure this is a dinner place. Also, the vodka bar seems misplaced. I don't doubt that it's good- but just seems weird in a family-friendly type restaurant.
