been eating and drinking at dotty's for many many years. it's not necessary the most comfortable space (pretty small, and can get pretty crowded depending on what events are going on nearby. BUT the food is good, the look is classy, and the students working there are nice And it's an easy place to get drinks and food before or after hitting up other spots downtown!
They have been around for a long long time well before I was born, so if they are still running strong... then they're doing something right.
This is definitely a popular landmark of the Madison downtown scene; in walking distance to everything downtown.
definitely recommended :)
oh, if they still have it... try the ostrich burger, scary sounding, but was yum
