My friend and I visited this restaurant for brunch and were disappointed with our experience. I initially wanted to order the chipotle chicken without jalapeños, but the server informed me that the kitchen was too busy to accommodate modifications. As a result, I opted for a breakfast burrito instead.
Unfortunately, our food took approximately an hour to arrive. When it finally did, the server informed me that they had run out of beans and had substituted them with French fries—without consulting me or seeking my approval. This was frustrating, as the restaurant refused to modify my original order but still altered my meal without informing me.
Additionally, the food was cold and soggy. My friend ordered chilaquiles, which also arrived in a similar condition. Given the long wait time, we reluctantly ate the meals rather than requesting a replacement and enduring another hour-long delay.
Overall, the service and food quality were disappointing, and I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

The service and ambience were excellent, making Madison worth a return visit. There was a good deal left to be desired with the food. The dishes felt slightly under seasoned and portions were on the smaller side. The drinks however, were a highlight - well thought out, complex, balanced, and delicious.

Came to celebrate a birthday brunch with my friends. We were served by Brittany who was very kind and attended the entire party.
Parking: A little difficult. Give yourself time to find parking.

So average. Prices were high for the food we got
I’ve been here before for drinks and it’s always cute and fun. We had a reservation for 8 of us and I made it a month early. We somehow were seated outside in this tiny corner table on the edge of everything. We could barely fit at the table, there was an open booth inside but they said they had a table of 6 to seat there when we had 8…. So we got none of the cute ambiance of the space. There were crickets like living in the benches that kept jumping all over us when we were eating. Gross. The benches were splintery and ended up ripping our tights. Drinks were great as always. Service was good. The food was a miss. The chimichuri steak came out like grey and cold. The chicken piciata had like a single spoonful of potatoes with it. Pesto pasta was so overcooked the noodles fell apart. We tried both salads and wouldn’t not recommend either of them. Didn’t even see the specials till after we ordered. Not to mention our table was so small we couldn’t fit everything so that was uncomfortable. They brought out a bday desert which was cute and nice. It was unreal how expensive everything was especially for it being so underwhelming. Maybe I’ll come back for drinks but would not do food or try to host a group of people here

The food was incredible but the service was lacking. We were serviced food quickly but the waitress never came back to check on us or get us more drinks. After we were done eating we waited over 30 minutes for anyone to offer us anything else. We wanted more drinks and dessert but didn’t after we waited so long.

Protein flavor, drinks, and service were incredible. Those veggies need more seasoning and not to be undercooked. My wife’s chicken piccata, while yummy, left a lot to be deserved in serving size.

We’ve been coming here a couple times a year and it really become a place for 20 year olds. It is beautiful inside but so loud you have to scream to be heard. It’s basically an entire bar for a very young crowd. Don’t expect a nice quiet dinner. The starters are small. The lobster risotto was bland (we’ve had much better) and the cioppino was light on the seafood and also bland. The gluten free chocolate cake was so small all 4 of us burst out laughing when it came. The drinks were excellent. If we ever come back we will try sitting outside next to the street.

Waitress Ray was very rude from the start treating us like children I hope she will change her attitude towards patrons. The food was amazing .

Let me start by saying, I spent some years in the restaurant business as a server/manager, so I don't leave negative reviews unless it’s absolutely warranted. Some friends and I had dinner here recently, and everything was great. Food was solid, the old fashioned was good, and the atmosphere was cool (my first time here). Less than an hour into our time here, it was clear we were still enjoying our drinks, and the “manager” walks up to our table and says, “Hello, we are gonna need this table for another reservation that will be here in 15 minutes, so take your time… for now.” About 5 minutes after that, our server, walks over and splits our checks and says, “By the way, my manager kinda needs this table.” Haha mind blowing. Spent a pretty penny at this place, only to be rushed out.

I went back with my family because I've been there before a couple times and I was really disappointed. I made reservations because there were a few of us and asked for indoor seating and got outdoor. The lattes were pretty taste less. The shares were very small. The chicken was extremely dry. Safe to say it'll be my last time. Difenately not the same as before. Sad cause it was a special occasion and it seemed like a bad choice. Parking is horrible there to begin with so not worth the hassle. This place was not worth the price. Over $200 for 6 people for what we got was not really satisfactory.
Parking: Be prepared to drive around for a while looking for parking.
