Bassett carries on the Food Fight Restaurant reputation well. I've had the Eggs Benedicto and Chicken & Biscuit on separate occasions. Both were very good. I usually also order a donut because I just can't help myself. In my opinion I think they are just okay. I may just be looking for that wow donut moment, and I just haven't had one yet.
Plan on waiting and get used to it! Grab yourself a cocktail from the bar or a free cup of coffee and have a seat in the hotel lobby area. The best part about their cocktails is they make them pretty boozy. This is a brunch win win for everyone. The bloody is not my favorite. Try it if you wish, but be advised that it isn't that great.
Other than that, this is a great brunch spot in downtown Madison.
