As for brunch in Madison, I go to Mickie's when I am on a budget and near UW campus; travel to Original Pancake House on the west side if I am hungry and look for a family friendly relaxed setting. But when craving for good brunch food, Marigold Kitchen is my only choice.
I always have mixed feeling about the humongous brunch in other places. On the one hand, it is good bang of my buck; on the other hand, it makes me over-eat and sleep in food coma afterwards. I found Marigold serve just enough food that really energizes me after my weekend brunch.
I have had French toast, scrambler, and omelette in Marigold, and they are just much more delicate than other brunch places in town. The French toast is definitely among the top 3 I had in my life. So much is said about this place in previous reviews, and I do not have too much to add.
If you have not been to this place, get in line and give it a try!
