We went out to Jacs to give it a try and I found a truly welcoming little spot along the specialized storefronts and restaurants of Monroe Street. While the place bills itself as European-inspired, I found instead a comfy locavore place that was a little upscale, but not immensely overpriced and certainly enjoyable.
The highlight? Their cheese plate: it featured four bits of local cow, goat or raw milk cheese and -- wait for it -- a "snit" of New Glarus beer. On the platter.
This is what I love about Wisconsin.
