    Trever Johnson was the best at our table. He was the most interactive and keep us smiling and laughing the whole time. Our sever Eric was equally the best at keeping all things amazing for us as well. Can’t wait to be back, and see them both!!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a beautiful atmosphere that set the perfect mood for a delightful meal. The decor was elegant yet inviting, creating a warm and welcoming environment that made me feel right at home. One of the highlights of this restaurant is the ample parking available, making it convenient for guests to visit. It is conveniently located adjacent to a picturesque golf course, adding to the lovely scenery and ambiance. The outdoor seating is a perfect touch for the summer months, allowing diners to enjoy their meals surrounded by fresh air and beautiful views. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations that enhanced my dining experience. One thoughtful touch that I particularly appreciated was the hand towels provided, adding a level of comfort and luxury that is often overlooked in many establishments. Now, let's talk about the food! The octopus dish was absolutely phenomenal—cooked to perfection with a wonderful balance of flavors that left me craving more. The deviled eggs were, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever tasted; they were creamy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The tea service was also impressive, presented with great care and attention to detail, making it a delightful addition to the meal. The appetizers were nothing short of delicious, each bite bursting with flavor and creativity. Overall, this restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that combines outstanding service, exquisite food, and a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal.

    We really loved the space! It had a great, almost club like atmosphere. I ordered the filet mignon, which I had to cook table side. It was brought to me on a hot stone. It came with rustic potatoes, best potatoes I ever had. My fiance ordered the chicken breast, the chicken was very bland and dry, he was pretty disappointed. Over all great experience, staff was very friendly, will come back.

    Menu is varied and all menu items sound delicious. Tried the bacon donuts for the first time and they are as delicious as they sound. Their Quiche is some of the best around town. A reservation is required if you don't want to wait in a line.

    The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.
