    Our server was great and attentive. We both had broiled cod with steamed vegetables. It was excellent. The food here never disappoints.

    Thank you to our server who turned down the noise level at our request. We arrived for an earlier 11;30 lunch and the volume might have been left at last night’s level.

    Thank you for telling the server. We are always happy to accommodate all of our guests!

    I appreciate any kitchen that creates as much of their menu from scratch as possible. Everything on my plate was fresh and flavorful. When in Madison, I will visit again.

    Friday night of UW Homecoming and the restaurant was packed, with takeaway orders flooding in. Our hostesses were gracious and communicative as we had to wait for our table of 8,- they gave us a realistic assessment of our wait, invited us to wait at a quiet second bar or outside, so we chose outside on a clear and crisp night. A soon as the table emptied they let us know and set up the table super fast. Our waiter was super attentive and accommodating. I was really impressed how fast our orders came through given the crowd, and quality was excellent as always. In short, it was a positive experience and our guests enjoyed the food and ambience. CT&T is our go to for out of town guests for good reason!

    Eating outside at this restaurant was a real treat! I frequent this restaurant maybe once a month, so I took a friend , visiting from Florida, who had never been there before. She was formerly from Wisconsin , so she had to have an old-fashioned because Wisconsin is the only place that does it with Brandy. It was wonderful she said. We had terrific cheese curds too. I had the walleye, which is a standard for their Friday fish fry, and it was melt in your mouth tender. My friend had a grilled cheese that was pretty elaborate, but someone would’ve never had one should know that they put potato chips in the sandwich, not next to it. She was not impressed for that. Otherwise the evening was wonderful. Weather was perfect; waiter and a trainer were entertaining and excellent with service and care. I’d recommend this restaurant anytime. It’s in Middleton, which isn’t it far from Madison and I think it’s a well kept secret. The place is also known for is selections of tap beers.

    Great food. Great service. We were splitting two entrees and they automatically split them for us without us even asking. Excellent restaurant.
