| - My husband and I went to dinner here tonight for my birthday and it was fantastic. We had not been here before, but it must be a popular place for birthdays because there were at least three other couples there for the same reason. Anyway, the service was great - always on top of water refills, everything came out in good time and we were checked on without being over bearing. I was a little worried because I have to eat dairy-free for my baby who is allergic to any milk protein, but they were very accomidating. The waiter actually informed me that the chef has a son who is allergic to dairy and gluten and therefore is very understanding and knowledgable of restricting these types of things. I was able to get the mixed grilled seafood dinner with a substitution for the pesto oil and it was excellent. We also had an appetizer of the shrimp wrapped in prosciutto and my husband got the filet with fries. The shrimp were fantastic and my husbands steak was cooked as asked to medium rare. The fries were just OK he said, so he would probably go with the mashed potatoes next time, but he still ate all of them. For dessert, I got a free one since it was my birthday and was thrilled that they had sorbet so I could actually eat dessert. The blackberry sorbet was an excellent way to finish a fabulous meal. My husband got the turtle cheesecake with intentions to bring some home, however, it was so good, that he ate the whole thing there instead.
This would probably make one of the top 8 meals I have had in Madison. I was worried because we are a younger couple and had gotten the impression that this restaurant was for an older crowd, but I did not feel the least bit out of place here. Definitely would recommend to my friends.
