“We held a retirement celebration at Garver, and we received nothing but positive feedback on the space, food, and staff! The event planning team was a joy to work with, and the day of service & coordination was above and beyond our very high expectations. We highly recommend using Garver for any professional or industry events!“
“Where to begin, Four Lakes Market, or more commonly 'Flakes' (contraction of four lakes) typically has a wide range of food selection and styles. Including texmex, pasta, home style, Greek, and more! The variety doesn't stop with the food! The atmosphere is accommodating to all, sports section? Got it. Floor to ceiling window views of Lake Mendota? All throughout! Cozy fireplace? You got that too. Plenty of options for seating of all groups or just yourself, though limited if you come during a rush. Overall, things operate exceptionally smooth!“
“A nice dining hall, depending on time of day, it can be very busy and hard to find seating or a nice quiet place to talk to friends. Food and service is great.Parking: Free parking after 4:30pm or on weekends. Otherwise difficult to find a parking spot.“
“This place is a little gem in the burgeoning Capitol East district (aka East Rail Corridor) where ugly, worn-out industrial buildings and loading docks have given way to hip new residential towers, hotels, restaurants, bars, a great life music venue, a historic outdoor athletic field, and a startup incubator.Really flavorful vegetarian and vegan dishes..in a cool old building...with a great outdoor courtyard...in a very hip part of Madison. Cocktails were superb, appetizers were super yummy, and vegetarian eggs were really tasty and satisfying.The other cool thing is that it shares space with a great little bar with quiet, intimate seating, and a fantastic coffee shop.Parking: Parking can be hard to find when there are concerts down the block or an event at the athletic field (both within a block) but you can usually find some spots on the sides streets to either side of the main corridor (E. Washington Ave.)“
