It's nice a small town like Madison has such an upscale gourmet restaurant and with reasonable prices. A local told me it was good but pricey but good entrees were in the low $20 range which included two sides. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and got out of there for about $60 which seems very reasonable to me.
We both had a seafood dish and they were delicious. Had crab cake with remoulade sauce for the appetizer and it was also very good. All the sauces really seemed to make the meal. The chef/owner was a personable young man named Andy, and he made it a point to visit every table. My only complaint about the food, which I probably should have mentioned to him, was my side of pasta alfredo. Described as a creamy alfredo sauce on fettucine, it was in reality a congealed clump of tepid noodles in a small cup. I gave up on it halfway through.
We were too full after the main course to have dessert. We would have liked a scoop of ice cream or sorbet to cleanse the palate but they had none.
My only other misgiving had to do with the seating. We were advised to make reservations and we were glad we did even though we could not get seated until 7 pm. However, there was a table next to us that was empty before we arrived and still empty when we left, but one group was turned away at the door and another couple was forced to eat at the bar. Several tables around us came open during our meal and went unfilled, yet people are turned away? Not the first time I have seen this in a restaurant and have never understood it, but then I am not a restaurateur.
Will definitely go back here next time we are in Madison.
