| - We came here for Easter Brunch because a Google search seemed to suggest that this was the place to go in Madison, and I can't search by Easter brunch on Yelp. I tried making reservations here a couple of days before but was told they were all booked but they would have a few spots by the bar for walk-ins. The hostess reminded me that they opened at 9am on Easter. Okay, that seemed to be a good sign that their Easter brunch was popular enough to open an hour early AND they were all booked.
Well, Google fails, because the brunch was unbelievably disappointing. For $25, I expected way better. They had a carving station, a salad bar, other hot entrees like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheesy potato hash, etc. But the bacon was overly greasy, the lettuce wilty, the chicken medallion dry. Out of all their offerings, the best was their biscuits and gravy and chicken tenders. The carving station was serviceable - they had ham, lamb, and prime rib, and the lamb wasn't bad. For dessert, they a variety of pies, and cookies. I chose a lemon meringue, which was still not quite thawed when I took a bite.
It really felt like they thought they could get away with a subpar offering and charge an arm and a leg just because it's Easter. I'm not a fan of any business that does that.
