If you are looking for heapin' plates of whatever, go to Old Country Buffet. There is a reason this place is associated with the Underground Food Collective. (http://undergroundfoodcollective.org/)
We were old fans of the Cafe Montmartre, but this group has done a good job with the space, brightening up the interior, putting in a curtain to ward off drafts from outside (hey, it's Wisconsin, buck up, willya?) and keeping a small menu.
My hub had the sausage and lentil dish, which he thought was excellent. I enjoyed my squash gallete a whole bunch. The microbrews, wines, and top notch cocktail mixes are there to enhance your experience. I thought it was all reasonably priced for those who want to really enjoy and appreciate their food.
And check out the kitchen...it's hoppin' and free entertainment. If you want to see how a place ticks, sit on the far left of the bar.
