    Chicken Piccata
    Haley W.

    I ordered the Chicken Piccata and my partner ordered the burger. I'd definitely order the burger again. The chicken piccata had good flavor and the green beans were perfectly cooked. We ordered the brownie sundae for dessert which was OK - I wish the brownie was slightly warmer but I loved the cherry compote on top. When we first came in hostess was so kind and made sure to turn on the game for us/gave us the best seat for viewing. :)

    Great place for brunch!! Their mimosas are decent and the burgers are tasty. They do offer veggie patties to substitute. The special sauce is delicious. The service was fast and friendly. Good places for groups or a date night.

    Lasagna
    Julianne O.

    Came here for a mom's night on a Thursday and we were seating right away. Parking is limited but I was still able to get a spot in the parking lot. Going after 6 is better because you can park in the veterinarian reserved spots. I had the lasagna and calamari and can recommend those. I wouldn't recommend going with young kids but besides that it was a nice meal and fun place to be at.

    Eggs benedict
    Ericka B.

    Went here on a Sunday for brunch and it was busy as usual. However, we got seated pretty quickly. We were clearly there in the time when there are a lot of families, which is great if you have young kids. The place was pretty loud, so kids are sounded out by each other. We ended up ordering the special eggs benedict which came with some crispy fried potatoes, the shrimp cake benedict, and the tomato goat cheese scrambler with a biscuit. Both benedicts were quite good and the potatoes that came with the special were a stand out. The scrambler was fine, a bit salty for my taste though. The salt also compiled in the dish with the potatoes that were too oily and salty and the biscuit. I've gotten the potatoes with this scrambler in the past and thought they were slightly better, so not sure if this was just an off day. Our thought though, was if you had the really nicely crisp and seasoned potatoes with the benedict special, why would you serve the others. Overall, it seemed like kind of an off day/time to be there. Our waitress was nice, but it took a while to get the hot sauce we asked for and no one came around to check if we wanted a coffee refill and had to ask someone. I know they were very busy when we were there, but it seemed like we weren't checked on at all after our food came, which was not their norm.

    Great neighborhood restaurant and bar. I was surprised the place is so large. Nice and roomy with lots of cozy tables and much character. We came to dine around 11:00 am on a weekend. Was kinda bummed we had to select food from the brunch menu only. Our server was super accommodating when I asked him to make a special request of the kitchen.....I really wanted a shrimp po boy (not on the brunch menu). A short few minutes later he returned with a huge grin on his face. Yes, the kitchen agreed to my request! He made me understand that this exception is never guaranteed, as it depends on how busy the kitchen is in the moment. The shrimp po boy was spectacular! Loaded with tender fried shrimp and just enough spice on a fresh crusty roll. It comes with dressed greens on the side, which was a lovely, tangy compliment to the sandwich. So good! My picky husband enjoyed his mushroom and spinach scramble. He was slightly horrified that his plate also included dressed greens (which he dislikes). But we quickly whisked it away, and brunch peace was restored. We will be back!

    Gin Sylvie
    Jessica A.

    Super cute place. Great ambiance. Plentiful street parking on a Tuesday night anyway. There is no dedicated parking lot. We had the Gin Sylvie and the Summer Sunset (?) for drinks. I really enjoyed the Gin Sylvie. For food we had the cheese curds, pan fried bluegill BLT, and the clam Italian sausage and leek pizza. All of the food was really good. The staff were very friendly and just the right amount of attentive.

    Blue Gil fish fry with baby red potatoes!
    David F.

    Had been recommended this place by several people and we are in quest to find the perfect fish fry. We arrived and the place was packed which is always a good sign. We were told about a 45 minute wait which must have been based on lack of staff as there were empty tables. We ended up sitting at the bar and ordered our entrees. We both tried the blue gills from recommendations from friends. The portion sizes were generous and the fish was cooked well. People rave about the "Zing" sauce but I was not a huge fan. But that's just my pallet. The hand crafted cocktails were good and the service was excellent. With the wood floors and high ceilings it is a bit noisy in the restaurant which makes conversation difficult. Is this the best fish fry in Madison? Probably not but it's a nice neighborhood joint to get a drink and a nice meal with friends and family.

    Gates & Brovi burger
    Andrea J.

    Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night around 6 pm, waited about 20 minutes for a table. The bar was packed with people enjoying drinks. We had the Gates & Brovi burger and the Bluegill dinner. The burger was delicious, but the salad with a lemon pepper dressing was subpar. The Bluegill was very good, a large portion. Served with it was delicious baby red potatoes and coleslaw. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is very welcoming and always looks busy when driving past!

    Went to G& B last night for happy hour. House wine are a mere $6 between 4 and 6, they have 3 varieties, and are decent for the price. They have an amazing Prosecco, I wish I could remember what brand it was; it was fabulous with an amazing and clean finish! We also had the Oysters which were really good. The bartenders were extremely attentive and friendly. This was the first time I had been in years, but after last night I def plan to go back k much sooner!

    Smelt fry
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a Friday evening to have fish fry. The place was extremely crowded, there wasn't even space to stand inside. Wait for a seat would have been very long. So I decided to take out. It took 40 minutes for food to be ready. Bluegill fish fry was a good item to try. I would say that was the only item I liked. Smelt fry was too fishy for me. Garlic parmesan wings were ok, but something was off with the taste. Clam chowder was kind of ok. I come from North East. This clam chowder does not compare well with the clam chowder there.

    I came here for Friday fish fry in the winter - I think there was a basketball or hockey game, but…read morenothing causing a crazy wait or crowd. We had some old fashioneds before ordering food, and I thought they were good. Service was super attentive, especially as we delayed ordering to enjoy drinks and an appetizer for a bit. I ordered the beer battered cod fish fry (my staple), and overall it was yummy to eat. The two pieces that came out were enormous and a bit wonky shaped... made me wonder what on earth this fish looked like in its swimming days. The batter was quite tasty, crunchy but not too crunchy/hard, but it was so incredibly think I'm not sure I got fish in every bite. I took one piece home and give the fish part to my pup as a meal topper, and the ratio of breading I had to pull off compared to fish was a bit (quite a bit) much. Still, everything I ate was tasty. I got the salad with my dinner, and was so happy that it came out with quality greens instead of a chunk of iceberg type lettuce. Overall, I'd come back again if others wanted, but wasn't wild about the batter to fish ratio.

Ordered the soup and half sandwich special for $6!!! Soup was good flavor but the consistency was chalky, you can tell it was on too hot and milk had split. Sandwich was perfectly grilled and served with a pickle. Nice portions for how extremely reasonable. Servers were helpful and quick, they both helped each other and had a good time behind the bar.
