“This is a hidden gem on Madison campus with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. The food is tasty, portions are generous, and prices are very affordable for students. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy good food, and take in the scenery.
Parking is difficult on school days so prepare yourself to walk or plan where to park before going in here.“

“Our reception had the perfect setting at Garver. So spacious and flexible in design that every one of our ideas was doable. The staff were so creative and attentive to whatever I wanted. It can be so overwhelming trying to deside but Danelle was so good at helping to nail down our vision and make suggestions that enhanced our vision. Thank you for making this reception a party no one will soon forget. A magical night.“

“They had a glitch with their online order; let me order Prime Rib on a day that they did not serve; when I arrived to pickup, they had no online order for me, even though I received a confirmation. They prepared another steak meal - but it was excellent!! Great flavor!! When ordering online, may want to double check they received the order.“

“Huge shout out to the Wine Reserve. We have been here many of times & have always enjoyed ourselves. Wonderful food,as well as, drinks, and even some great entertainment. This even I left my purse full of cash & credit cards. Oops!!! All of which was promptly returned to me. Due to the attentive bartender, noticing before I even had. They called shortly after we arrived home. Could not be more impressed with this establishment & their employees!“

Love how basically nothing has changed, always great beer on tap, liquor selection and you have the option to order food from Falbos and enjoy it with an amazing beer that has been carefully catered. Everytime I have a chance to go out and enjoy a relaxing and refreshing experience I go to the Mason, shout out to Matt!“

“The food is simple (sandwich, salads, burger and a few other options) but tasty. The staff is friendly and makes sure yi ur experience is good, and the decor is nice. Bonus point for the nice selection of whisky and spirits, great for a restaurant. Also, during happy hour a few items are very fairly priced. Went twice, loved it both times, and will come back again. Thank you for the hard work!“

Staff is friendly, attentive and hard working.

Nice if you are a local or just passing through.

They also have a pool table, video games (real video games, not poker) and a streaming jukebox.“
