I was extremely impressed with the size of the room. They had a nice sized fridge, a microwave and Keurig (though I didn't use it). The bed was super comfortable and everything was so clean! What impressed me most was even though I was having car problems, the front desk was super helpful. Kurt helped me book another night then, later, when I decided not to stay Sunday night, he readjusted my reservation again. The breakfast was really yummy and had a nice selection of food that was both protein and carbohydrate packed. The area was kept stocked and cleaned the entire time.

He was super organized and responsive. Marc was our DJ for the reception. We specifically requested him after seeing how good he was at another wedding. And he did not disappoint!

I hired the string quartet, LFQ, for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. My guests all thought…read morethey were great. I felt that I didn't get what I paid for. My husband and I spent hours going through their repertoire, listening to quartet versions of the songs on YouTube and carefully selecting what we wanted to hear. We provided the list to the contact person, but our selections were completely ignored. In fact, they didn't even play the song (Air on the G String, pretty standard fare) I had chosen for my bridal party to walk down the aisle to. I don't even know the song they actually played. Every time I hear A on the G String, I'm brought back to that moment and I am annoyed. They played the theme to Super Mario Brothers during my cocktail hour. Cute? Kind of. Not on my list though, and not what I wanted to hear. The played a lot of classical musical. (Also not on my list.) I wanted to hear Stairway to Heaven and Dave Matthews Band, which is why I spent so much money on a string quartet instead of hiring a group of college students. Additionally, after the ceremony they were to go to the reception location and being playing there. When I walked into my cocktail hour, their instruments were sitting by their chairs, but they were not to be seen. I said something to my dad and he mentioned he saw one down at the hotel internet cafe on the computer. What?! Seriously?! My father went down and got him. His response? "Oh, we didn't know we were supposed to play as people were entering." Like I said, my guests loved the quartet, but they didn't pay for something they didn't get. If I could go back, I would save $900 and hire the college students.

While the fitness center at the Waunakee Village Center is quite a bit smaller than than any of the health clubs in the area, it is close to where I live. That convenience meant actually getting to the gym, working out and getting value for my membership. What I like: * The fitness center is immaculate and the equipment is well maintained. There always is a staff member walking around with a spray bottle keeping things clean. * There's lots of natural light. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but after working out in places with with artificial lighting, it's like night and day (pardon the obvious pun). * The fees are reasonable. A single membership is $300 annually and my health insurance picks up half the tab. * It's not over crowded. Even during the busy periods in January and February, I could always get on a treadmill or elliptical machine. * The staff are cheerful and always helpful. What I don't: * Weekend hours are not great. 7 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays and 9 AM to 5 PM on Sundays. The late opening time on Sunday is especially frustrating. * Classes cost extra and the good ones fill up very quickly. So if you're living in the only Waunakee in the World and are looking for a great place to workout, definitely consider a membership at the Village Center.

Being a work-from-home mom the Village Center was a convenient place to start. My hours are pretty flexible and I can drop by on my lunch break or late afternoon. I've been here at various times and it's never been super packed. I have always found a treadmill or elliptical to work on. I usually just stick to cardio at the gym and the equipment here is great! All the machines have TVs, although I usually just binge watch something on Netflix while working out. Membership is very reasonable for residents. You get $5 off per group fitness class if you are a gym member. Since my workout times are all over the board I haven't done any of the classes. The staff is very friendly. The place is very clean and doesn't smell of sweat when you enter - a big deal for me.

Generally, you…read moredon't go through the main entrance you go down the drive to the side of the building and that's where the outdoor seating is. There's quite a few tables and chairs, but even so on a busy summer evening it might be full. As good as the food is here, the service can be a little iffy, and the bar service can be very slow. This evening three of us ordered gin and tonics which came without limes in them. This is like sacrilegious to gin and tonic drinkers. You shouldn't have to ask for limes in this drink. The other thing that was irritating is that salt and pepper was not on the table and butter did not come with the entrées which included baked potatoes. It was brought on request but it's just odd that they wouldn't have have these things on the tables already. Our waitress was a high intern so we went easy on her and hope she learned something from us. We still tipped her well. That said it's a great Wisconsin fish fry place and worth stopping for.

After a Yelp search I found El Alegre Mexican Restaurant with really good reviews and an…read moreinteresting menu. A bit of a drive from Madison, but well worth it. El Alegre is located in a small modern strip of shops, with a party center they run next door. The restaurant is medium sized with a nice bar in the corner by the kitchen. The room is sleek and modern with black walls and tables, wood chairs and floors, and a colorful neon strip around the ceiling. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The menu is two sided and manages to have a nice variety without being overstuffed. I ended up ordering the Camarones a la Diabla, as someone who loves spicy shrimp it sounded great. A bit of a wait for the food, but the place was busy with the dining room almost full including a couple of larger tables. The chips and salsa was ok, but nothing special but provided a nice prelude while I waited for the meal. The meal came out nicely presented on a square white plate, which set off the colorful meal. The shrimp were nice sized, plump and well cooked; the sauce was excellent, not overly spicey, but instead complex and delicious with an interesting mix of flavors, it seemed to be similar to a mole instead of just a hot sauce. The refried beans and spanish rice were both good and the guacamole, sour cream and small salad was a nice compliment to the meal. The flour tortillas were very good, freshly griddled and fresh. I was very impressed with El Alegre, the decor is a nice change from most Mexican restaurants. I was very impressed with their version of Camarones a la Diabla, usually it is served with a fairly simple hot sauce, here they created a wonderful and complex sauce that perfectly complimented the shrimp and provided a true treat. If you are in the area and looking for some great Mexican food El Alegre is well worth a visit. If the rest of the menu is anything like my meal it is a great flavorful interpretation of Mexican food.
