| - The one restaurant in Madison I just keep coming back to. I've only ever been for the late night menu and I have a policy against ordering anything besides the $13 sirloin- it would be downright sinful. I haven't had a better steak since living in Madison, and I imagine the only way I would is if I came a little earlier for the full menu. But who can resist an 8 oz steak for $13?!?! My boyfriend usually gets the scallops, and sometimes we share. The scallops are really wonderful, too, and come with three scallops with a great cream sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes in a scallop shell. Yes, I've stolen the scalloped shell dish on several occasions. I try to convince everyone I go with to get the sirloin, but my best friend would always get the salmon sandwich or steak sandwich and raved about both.
The Tornado Room reminds you of a smoker's lounge in the fifties (not that I've been to one), it's very dark and antique looking. When you go in late night, you seat yourself at whatever table is available. There's an upstairs and downstairs, but it can sometimes be a little bit of a wait to get a table, especially if you're there with a group. There's really only one table that will accommodate a group larger than 4/5, so you kind of have to get lucky.... we always have.
