   We had a great brunch with friends! We arrived and was greeted with smiles from the host right away and shown to our table. As we were seated, our server approached us and notified that she was going to be with us shortly as she looked somewhat busy. We were okay with that for it gave us time to decided on what we wanted to eat. Once she took our order and we waited for our food, we noticed that the staff were super busy but still attentive. Our food arrived perfectly presented and so very delicious. From the appetizers, to the main entres, and dessert! We asked to speak to a manager to give our compliments to Chef Luis (glad his name is on the menu!) and the staff, but we were told there was no manager present. We found that a bit odd and unfortunate. So here we are trying to RAVE about the food and the service. We will be back!

   We came for a pre-theatre lunch. We were seated in a pretty but empty room then forgotten. We had to find staff to take our order. The food was very good, and the setting was pretty. Service was not the greatest.

   Great Mother’s Day celebration. Loved the avocado toast with salmon lox and fried egg on top. Side salad served with it also good. The lavender crème brûlée’s is awesome

   The ambiance got a lower rating because we were off in the side room to be away from the music.

    Overall a unique and plesant experience. We were seating in the very back room and the table was wobbly and room was very warm. Seating Area by the bar looked the most inviting. Will go back when outdoor seating is available.

    First time here, menu selection was plentiful for any food lover. Dining was nicely lit and beautiful. Live music was a great touch to dinner service. Wait staff/front of house was amazing and catered to questions and suggestions. Our server Lois was amazing and made the experience wonderful. The food arrived in good time and was an experience! We will be coming back again :)

    The Beef Wellington was the best we've ever had -- excellent cut of meat. The wood-fired sea bass was excellent, too. Service was very attentive and helpful in making suggestions about what entrees to choose.

Friendly interactions with staff and musician made a nice evening out with our neighbors! Thank you, we'll be back 😊

    Five of us ate there. Entrees included beef Wellington, scallops and halibut - all were very well cooked and tasty with nice veggie/starch accompaniments. Cocktails were decent, not great. Small but adequate wine list. Attractive spaces and pleasant service. Looks like a nice spot overooking the Sugar River to eat outdoors when warm.

    The main reason we came in was to try the special (Seabass). We saw it on Instagram and wanted to give it a try! It was delicious! The different textures and flavors all complemented each other. The only bad thing I would have to say is our server did not describe the special like it was on Instagram. We were confused and actually double checked the post. So the knowledge from the server could have been better. Other than that, everything else was a great experience!

    My husband and I both loved our meals- some of the best food in the Madison area (beef Wellington and sea bass). The true star of the show was the kids meal. By far the best meal she has ever had at a restaurant. Fresh chicken, mashed potatoes, fresh asparagus! Love that we had the option for real/delicious food for our child to also enjoy. It was a beautiful family meal!

    Due, perhaps, to a birthday party near us, our dining space was exceedingly noisy.

    What an amazing experience! Our dinner club picked this restaurant as it's outside of Madison but not too far. A huge thank you to Bryan for the fantastic, engaging service throughout our meal. The place is so cozy and beautifully decorated. I highly recommend the Spicy Margarita (it's blue) and for entree, everyone loved the Scallops dish and the Halibut. Bryan convinced us that dessert was worth it (and it was!). We shared the Vanilla Creme Brulee and Chocolate Souffle. Will definitely be back and would like to try their brunch some weekend too.

    Food was terrific- we ordered 3 different items off brunch menu and everyone loved their meal. Service from Trey was great-- he was helpful, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. This restaurant is absolutely a 10 on the charming scale, too -- can't wait to try the outdoor patio when weather cooperates!

    Waiter boxed up our food without even asking if we were done. He made us feel rushed and like he wanted us to leave so he could close up early. We had a 6:30 dinner reservation so we weren’t there past closing.
