A bonus star for the German beer, which is really quite good. Apparently a Madison institution, we came here on a Thursday night. Really loud crowd on the patio where we ate.
I loved the idea of the beer in a boot, but no one in our party was brave enough to get it (is it one of those things that you're supposed to share or just do yourself)?
My friend apparently always gets the burger when he comes and enjoys it, but the rest of us were feeling adventurous, and paid for it as well. Not only are the entrees expensive for Madison, but they're somewhat strange and not that good.
I did enjoy the free pretzels that came, but I did not enjoy the liver dumpling soup. It's probably important to specify the liver part of it when you say dumpling soup. I'll take some of the blame on not asking what kind of dumpling soup, but I was really expecting some sort of dough, not a ball of liver.
I had the veal, which was extremely thin and somewhat tasteless. Gotta say, my friend's burger looked really good.
I would come back to drink, but definitely not to eat - which I suppose is what everyone else says as well.
