| - Pig in a Fur Coat can be good, as long as it's what you're looking for. When most people think of tapas in Madison, they think of something a little different and less "gourmet" (for lack of a better word) than Pig in a Fur Coat is doing - and that's not a bad thing. But the kind of fare you'll get here is different than a place like Icon.
I've had the duck far fries (superb), the burrata with tomatoes (again, superb, and a great light dish), the pork belly (great, but could have used a little more acid) a bite of the octopus (I can understand people liking it, but I'm not a fan of octopus generally), and the lamb carpaccio (a bit oily, but I haven't had enough carpaccio to compare it to much else).
Service here is hit and miss. I've been on a day when my waiter gave recommendations on beer and on food, and he was great about helping us pace our leisurely meal well. I've also been when my waitress just said "Oh, everything's good!" (that's not helpful when you're asking for a recommendation).
Overall, my experience here has been good. I love their long tables, as they can accommodate large groups or throw together smaller groups. They also have tables for 2, and make a good date night location.
