| - My family and I made a reservation for eight and ate off of the diner menu. The atmosphere was great and the seating was very comfortable, although elbow around the table could have been better. The food was OK, not great. I had the KC steak which I ordered medium rare but it came back medium. My wife ordered the same and hers was cooked perfectly. Overall, I'd say the steak was comparable to Outback Steakhouse but at more than twice the price. The steak wasn't a bad cut, it just didn't have any real flavor. I recommend visiting the Tornado Room for a high quality steak that's actually worth the price. We had several appetizers. The crab cakes were good. The "sweet bread" wasn't bad. Understand that this is a meat dish though, and from what I understand, it's cow thyroid. Again it wasn't bad, but I certainly wouldn't order it again. The highlight of the menu were the several desserts. The cheesecake, baked in-house pie, and chocolate cake were all very good. I'm willing to try this restaurant again, maybe for the breakfast menu, but currently, this restaurant isn't worth the high price point. If you are staying at the Edgewater, get a cab and try out any of downtown Madison's better restaurants. You'll spend less and have a better dining experience.
