  • My husband and I came in for dinner, and we loved the space immediately. They've done a great job aesthetically. We were seated in the back, by a nice row of windows, where I fear that aesthetics may have trumped function, given that the noise from the few tables around us sounded like people were speaking loudly right into our ears. That wasn't a big deal, but something to note if you are more sensitive to noise. We were excited by the menu options, ordering a market salad, a homemade mozzarella plate (sprinkled with vanilla fleur de sel), and a pizza with ricotta, watercress, honey, and chilies. Everything sounded interesting, and our expectations were high for quality. The market salad was *amazing*. It was just the right balance of delicate leafy greens and crisp fresh vegetables, with beautiful shavings of unexpected root vegetables. The dressing fit the salad perfectly in terms of weight and flavor. The mozzarella, sadly, was a bit disappointing. It wasn't bad, but the description of *homemade* fresh mozzarella with fleur de sel, along with the visual cues of an upscale, foodie-focused restaurant set our expectations quite high. The flavor was good, but the texture was far too firm, which was surprising for freshly made mozzarella. Again, it was pretty good, it just fell short of our expectations. The pizza was good, and I like that it is a very different style than most pizza places in Madison. However, it fell into the same trap as the mozzarella plate: it sounded so interesting and delicious that our expectations were set too high. The crust was a bit too chewy (perhaps over-kneaded?) and a bit bland in flavor. The toppings just didn't quite mesh, like they hadn't refined the flavor profile yet. The sauce didn't match the rest of the items, and the chilies overwhelmed the other flavors (and I love spicy food). The prices seemed fair to me. We shared the three plates I've described, plus two drinks, and the bill came to $32. It felt like a nice nights out, and we were plenty full. I know this review is coming off as a bit negative. We truly thought it was pretty good, but that's the thing: it was pretty good -- not as amazing as the ambiance and menu descriptions made them sound. I will definitely give them another chance, because I think there's potential there if they can get some of these kinks worked out.
