A restaurant with disgusting service, they don't even look at your face during pick up service! Be sure to visit if you want to be ruined with your money!

My burger was dry, not cooked to temperature, bland, and all around not worth the money I spent on it. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my gift card on this...so disappointed 😔

Very nice vibe when you walk in. Stephanie was awesome and very helpful in deciding. The pretzel app was fantastic as was the French Onion Soup. We shared a few items but the fish tacos were my favorite. Almost forgot about the awesome Bloody Mary.

It is usually busy and they also offer outdoor seating in a multilevel environment. Lots of menu choices.

A couple of my friends and I stopped in for a late dinner as we were passing through the area. I got the Korean rice bowl and a side of cheese curds. My food was delicious. The rice bowl was bursting with flavor and everything in it was cooked to perfection. The cheese curds were decent, but the chimichurri ranch dressing was what really made them amazing. We dined in on a Monday evening and wasn’t expecting for this place to be so busy and noisy. Nothing bad about that necessarily, it just wasn’t what we were expecting on a weekday evening. Seems like a great hangout spot for college students, as that was who was mostly there. This just made for a very occupied server resulting in less attention to our needs and longer wait times. My overall take on the place is still a positive one. Cute restaurant and a decent sized one, at that.

Definitely ask about garden seating!! We were a little nervous when it involved walking downstairs past the servers area but omg it was so beautiful and a perfect date spot. Servers were super kind about checking nutrition facts for me, my steak salad was so delicious! Loved it.

We lived in Madison years ago and loved the Great Dane but it’s really gone down in quality. Our group ordered a burger, sandwich, two baked cods, and two mac n cheeses. The fish arrived cold and very overcooked. The other dishes were just mediocre, not good enough to justify the price. The atmosphere was so loud we couldn’t talk. The only reason I’m not giving the experience one star is because the server was great.

Good for darts and pool. Decent food for a glorified bar. Eh on their beer taps, their taps are nothing special. Mixed drinks priced for a downtown bar. Bartenders will skip your TouchTunes if they don’t like it, and play 43 minute songs and tell you they can’t skip it if they don’t like the songs you are playing

The food was very mediocre, the atmosphere was cool and a nice set up. The service after 930 pm was bad because it was only the bartender serving everyone!! We were traveling and got in town late. Don’t order the clam chowder 🤢 not good at all!! The salmon with potatoes wand the watery gravy was decent, the fish and chips….OIL CITY!!! So much oil and grease! Madison do better for late night eating on a Friday night!

Food was good but I went for poutine and they do not have it the waiter said that it was on their winter menu so if you’re looking for poutine you’ll have to search elsewhere.

We headed here with the intention of having lunch before the beer festival and take their comp bus.
So we had lunch here around 11am ish and I had their Baja Fish Tacos. I added an extra 1 for a 3 pack and what a great call I made! They were fresh and delicious! I passed on the beans and some of the rice but the salsas they provided were straight fire!
Time for the shuttle after lunch but whoops, too crowded! So we did a cab and that was fine.
Our server was friendly and did forget a few things but they were crowded but y'all still get a 5 star rating.
We'd def come back next time we are in the Capitol city.
