My best friend held her rehearsal dinner in the downstairs area and it was fabulous! The space was very warm and inviting and accommodated a group of 35-40 guests well. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing (New Glarus beer on tap--wooo!) and were super friendly.
The food was delicious--spinach/artichoke dip was fan-freaking-tastic! I limited myself to a small amount though, because next up was pizza. Mmm...the plain cheese was probably my favorite, even though it sounds boring, it wasn't. It had a pleasant amount of garlic to kick it up a notch.
I didn't do any dessert, but the tiramisu looked pretty tasty. I'm definitely coming here on my next visit to Madison!
