| - I'm a celiac and have to go for the gluten free options. Because of that, my review can only reflect those items on the menu.
First off, the atmosphere and location I feel are the best things going for the restaurant. Great view of the capital in a hip feeling environment.
The service is friendly and professional. They don't just hire people off the street. Everyone from the host to the bartender to the chef know what they're doing.
As for the food, which is the most important part, this is where I feel the restaurant lacks. The sides are basic and uninspired. The entrées leave you wanting. I wouldn't describe the food as "bad" but it is in no way noteworthy in my mind and there are better options for each menu item scattered throughout Madison.
Specifically, their gluten free breads, though made in house, are behind the curve. Though ten years ago expectations for those kinds of food were low, better breads have made their way to the market. Their buns were dry, flavorless, and somewhat mysterious in consistency. Definitely did not taste like the GF breads I eat at home.
Overall, this place is worth the experience. Their prices, despite the talk around town, are not unreasonable. However, I would not call this a choice destination for someone looking to eat gluten free.
