| - Today was my first experience dining at Player's On Madison. I've had drinks at the bar previously which was an enjoyable experience as well, but this time, I dined at the bar to take advantage of the fine happy hour specials. My friend and I, shared the Prosciutto Wrapped Smoked Mozzarella, Chorizo and Monchego Stuffed Banana Peppers, and the Goat Cheese Stuffed Pepadew Peppers. Let me tell you, the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella was fantastic, an excellent deal for $5 at happy hour, the other apps were tasty as well. We also had 2 soups that were the specials of the day, a Red Gazpacho and a Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Bisque, which were delish. We were on quite the run food-wise and decided to split an entree. We shared the Pan Roasted Chicken Breast, which was good, and why my review is only 4 stars. The chicken is set up for success being stuffed with bacon and Fontina cheese, served with heavenly yellow pepper whipped potatoes, and beautifully topped with the fried zucchini. However, what made it not so good was how tough the underside of the chicken was, and how mismatched the sauce was to the rest of the dish. To me, this would be a perfect dish it hadn't been overcooked on the underside, and served with a more appropriate sauce, but knowing these two things I would still order it again. I think it was a fluke as to the chicken being overcooked. The service was good, the servers were very friendly/ knowledgeable. I will definitely return.
