We have been here twice and both times it has exceeded expectations. They have a great selection of craft beer on tap, and a variety of delicious signature drinks. My personal favorite is the dewberry which includes house-made Rosemary infused vodka-it's awesome! Also a decent wine selection.
The food is absolutely outstanding - probably some of the best cheese curds in the Madison area and the jalapeƱo bacon aioli for dipping makes them even better. Their menu includes both restaurant dishes and rotating dishes based on is around - all dishes use LOCAL ingredients. My favorite is the Mac and cheese, which includes Nueskis bacon and is baked in a skillet shaped like WI! My husband has had two dishes off the rotating menu and has loved them both. The chef is also able to make everything gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan. Not a huge deal for us, but important for one of our friends with a wheat allergy!
Both times we have stayed after dinner in the speak easy in the basement. Super cool atmosphere and super friendly staff. We even got to sample a drink the bartender was trying out last weekend!
