First time here and I really like the place. It gets the fifth star because of ambiance and salmon. Server paced the meal very well.
A nice piece of history with interesting segmentation of dinning spaces. Feels like several small restaurants in one building. I ate at the bar area since I was dining alone and saw the Badger basketball game on TV.
I used a 50% off appetizer via Yelp for blackened prime rib bites (reg. $11). The portion was huge; perhaps a 10oz cut, so I picked the best pieces and was sorry to waste a bit. I would call it a bit of a disappointment. Pieces were not actually blackened, and thus more like well done prime. Several excellent bites, and I enjoyed the horseradish sauce, but if wish I would have tried the meatballs.
Salmon filet was excellent; cooked to perfection and on a great bed of spinach, cooked cucumber and delicately slender pieces of asparagus. Only complaint would be that it was a bit oily at the bottom. The included salad before was totally unnecessary, but very good. Don't bother with the fancy French cheese dressing. A little to thick, for my taste.
