The service here is second to none in this beautiful establishment that clearly is forcing others to raise the bar in Madison for fine dining. The wine list is fantastic, offering Bordeauxs, off the beaten path malbecs and serving several very nice wines by the glass as well. The apps were exquisite and brimming with flavor. We tried the beef tongue carpaccio and were delighted with the presentation and technique. The risotto was perhaps too oily as was a few other dishes which is why I cannot give this place five stars. Will be back to give it another try, with the service as good as it gets here, this place has begun to be on a short list of restaurants with real staying power.
