| - After writing a not-so-hot review recently of the Stamm House, I was contacted by owner Craig, who apologized for the service we had that night and invited us in for a meal on the house. My husband and I went back and had a lovely dinner on the patio. Our waiter Brandon was quite attentive and professional. We ordered the whitefish chowder and French onion soup to start--both really great--then the trout and NY Strip for entrees. The steak was perfectly done and was well-seasoned with a nice peppery flavor. The trout, in my opinion, could have used a bit more seasoning. It was cooked well, fresh, and had a nice creamy sauce; however, I was expecting a bit more piquancy considering that it was a lemon caper sauce. The drink menu is impressive, with a great selection of beers on tap, cocktails, and wines; I got a beer and hubby tried a couple of cocktails, both very good. We very much enjoyed the patio setting; it's probably one of the nicest places to eat outside in the Madison/Middleton area.
I'm impressed by the Stamm House's owner's efforts to please his customers and, given the quality of the food and lovely atmosphere tonight, I'm willing to think that our rocky experience the first time was a fluke. Would definitely recommend.
