We've been going here regularly for years. The menu rotates at least weekly but always has certain staples such as porkchops and a vegetarian dish. Every dish is fantastic and focuses on local and seasonal fare. The owner/chef often experiments with new styles from different parts of the world and is always expanding his repertoire. Despite how frequently we go, we never get bored of the food.
Once or twice a month they do wine dinners that are extremely affordable with a selection of good wines in the $10-$25 range that you can order and pick up a few days later. This is where we've been getting a lot of wines lately as it keeps our rotation of new wines very high. The best wines from these dinners often end up on the wine list, which isn't long but tends to be both affordable, well rotated, and high quality.
Personally I really like the atmosphere. It is not a large place and sometimes can get a little smokey (much like my own kitchen) but I always feel very at home here. We often go on Friday nights as a way to unwind from a long week and I can feel myself relaxing as I enter the door. The art is also done almost completely by the owner, who has been becoming more and more popular as an artist in the Madison area these days. It is highly abstract and very colorful. He rotates it on a regular basis and a number of times I've seen people come in off the street because they saw the art through the window and wanted to get a better look.
Overall our favorite place in Madison.
