As part of my ongoing search to find the best fish fry in Madison I found myself at Quivey's Grove for their famous fish fry. I loved walking up to this place because you can tell just by looking at the building that there is a lot of history there. The building is made out of brick and does not look like it has ever had a renovation; I mean this in the nicest possible way! As I walked in I found myself kind of lost as there are many small rooms in this place. After finally finding the hostess we were led to our table; I believe reservations are neccessary. Our table was in one of the many small rooms with about four other tables.
The vibe of the place was lovely and intimate. Upon sitting we took a look at the drink menu and both decided on the key lime martini; pretty good. Our waitress was very friendly and answered all of our questions very graciously. I ordered the all you can eat fish fry with the potato. The cheesy potato was definitely the star of the show! It was a shredded potato with cheese and it was fantastic! The fish on the other hand was just okay. It was beer battered which I am starting to discover is not something that I like. The man ordered the fish platter with 3 different types of fish; baked, lightly battered, and beer battered. He loved everything he had and also loved the potato.
All in all I am happy that I tried the fish fry here and while I may not be back for that specifically, I am looking forward to trying other things on their menu.
