Only reason I can't recommend is because it is closing. Too bad, it was a great spot.

The lunch menu was much smaller than before. I would have liked more choices. I had the chopped salad which was just okay. It needed more flavor. Those who ordered sandwiches were very pleased with those.

For the small number of tables with people the service was very poor. It was a buffet and there were multiple waiters/waitresses, but getting something to drink was a challenge when we first got there and waters were never refilled. The food was fine, nothing special and definitely not worth the price. I would be interested to try eating dinner there some time, but would never go back from brunch.

Nice wine selection. Salmon and Clam chowder excellent. Crab cake too spicy.... dressing on wedge watery and boring. Great server.

The food was wonderful, highly recommend the porkchop. Brussel sprouts were mushy, but still tasty. Drinks are a tad pricey. We were literally the only people dining from 530-7. We just thought that was odd

Food was excellent! We loved the cheese board and I had probably the best salmon of my life. Ambiance is a bit odd, but that's what you can expect from a hotel restaurant. Overall, great service!

Food was fair at best. Salads were not good, steak was over done, and side lacked flavor. Service was poor. very expensive for the price. Will not go back.

Thank you. We came to Madison to visit dear friends and your remarkable restaurant helped us make new memories. Thank you to the hostesses who went above and beyond to have the roses on the table I had requested. Denarili (sorry for the spelling) was particularly kind, welcoming and helpful. Logan is an extraordinary server and could easily be training waitstaff in 5-star restaurants. He was inventive, responsive and dedicated to excellence throughout our meal. We will return on each trip to Madison and if we lived there it would be a "go to" spot for us. Thank you again.
