Two friends and I stumbled upon The Great Dane on our search for cheese curds and local beers as we made our way through Madison, Wisconsin. We were on day 9 of a 10 day road trip across America from California to Maryland. Being that it was a Sunday evening, the place was pretty empty. Despite this observation, the hostess took some time deliberating on where to seat us. We passed many empty tables and booths before being seated near the back by the restrooms and refill station. I couldn't help but think this was deliberate as my friends and I are minority women.
Not wanting to let this affect our experience, we chose to remain in the restaurant and were waited on by Matt. I can't say enough about Matt and the excellent service he provided. He was prompt in taking our order and even took the time to ask us about our travels and offered his recommendations on our next stop. We ordered the cheese curds; which were amazing! Each of us greatly enjoyed our meal and enjoyed the flights of beer we had. Would recommend this place to anyone stopping through Madison. Thank you Matt for saving our experience!
