| - This was one of my best dining experiences in Madison. A friend and I went as part of restaurant week, and had an amazing time. We had a reservation, but they were a bit behind, so we went to the lounge area while we waited. I had the pomegranate martini, which was quite tasty.
We were seated fairly quickly, and our server Jen was awesome! She was very energetic, funny, and kind, and her recommendations were spot on. Jen really made the whole experience way better. The atmosphere was very nice and the decor was gorgeous. Also, although we were eating slowly, everything was brought out after we had finished the previous dish completely and clearly freshly made.
We started with the fried calamari, which may have been one of the best dishes I have ever had! It was sweet and a little tangy, and cooked perfectly! 10 stars! The lobster bisque was also good, though everything paled a bit after that calamari.
For the main course, we each had the petite filet, which was sizzling hot and perfectly cooked medium rare. The mashed potatoes were delicious, though the sautéed mushrooms weren't quite up to par. Finally, we finished with chocolate mousse, which was creamy and light and topped with the most delicious whipped cream - I could have eaten several cups of it, even though I was so stuffed!
