| - Excellent food, fantastic service, top notch dinning experience!
This is a meal I will remember forever!
Just repeat the meal below and you will leave a happy and sophisticated camper!
What I ordered:
1. Pop overs- These are amazing, also, they just appear, they are the "free" bread that they serve you! They are made fresh and are served with strawberry butter that will change your life and sea salt butter.
2. Crab Cakes- 99% crab, 1% other good stuff. Fantastic!
3. Table Side Caesar Salad- they make it right in front of you and tell you a story!
4. Chilled asparagus soup- it was the soup de jour. It had an amazing salmon salad garnish
5. 12oz Filet- au poivre with mushrooms and a garlic brandy cream sauce. Words cannot describe how fantastic this was. Cooked perfectly and so flavorful.
6. Sword fish Steak- You don't see this too often on menus in Madison. I actually did not love the couscous it was served with, but the steak was unbelievably well done. Very moist and tender and had a lovely citrus glaze.
7. Table Side Bananas Foster- They do not skimp on the butter or the booze. Get really for a very impressive flambe! Great caramel sauce served over excellent vanilla ice cream.
I'm going to gush now:
1. This restaurant is outrageous! It's beautiful, from the dark wood work to the leather booths, to the library, to the extensive wine seller, to the bathrooms (which have super fancy paper towels with the Rare logo embossed on them). It's a gorgeous restaurant.
2. You server is not just a server, they are a dinning room captain.These people are extremely capable and knowledgeable about the menu and beverage list (which is enormous!). Think of them as your dinner spirit guide. Genevieve was our spirit guide. I highly recommend her if she is available.
3. They time things perfectly. You get ample time to enjoy everything. No one is trying to rush you through your appetizer.
4. They will make you a mocktail if you request one! I asked our spirit guide for something nonalcoholic and she said, "I have just the thing."The bar tender know's what they're doing :)
My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary, and they absolutely may us feel extremely special. From what I saw, they make everyone feel special and taken care of, but I was highly impressed by their attention to us and at their timing of all our courses.
Not to get too anecdotal, but there was a slight delay in the kitchen with our entrees, so they sent out a soup course to us free of charge. Little things like that really made this experience go from great to outstanding.
