Visa's merchant rules prohibit…read moresurcharging Visa debit card transactions, and Wisconsin law also does not permit merchants to impose credit card surcharges on debit card purchases, even if the card is processed as "credit." The food and customer service by Nora was good, but businesses should follow the payment rules that apply to the methods they accept. I hope Era Café corrects this practice so future customers aren't charged an improper fee when using a debit card.

Era cafe is a fantastic choice for brunch (and probably lunch too!)…read more I'm back in my old stomping ground of Madison (Go Badgers!) and stumbled upon this place. Though it's a bit outside of Madison proper it is worth the drive. The fluffy homemade pancakes and warm syrup were a 5/5. The era omelette is fluffy, delicious and packed with cheese, veggies, and meats. Perfectly cooked hash browns and tasty coffee rounded out a delightful meal. The ambiance is perfect and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend

Service is also a featured item at this location; warm friendly staff. Seating is nice little tables not too close but still can seat a nice group of patrons and a back room if you have a larger group or a small special event. We've been to this locations years ago and now that we are back in Waunakee, WI. We stopped because of great service and food. While things have changed, nothing has changed. A definite stop on your travels.

First time here. We were on our way up north and stopped in for a hot beverage. It's part of a…read moresmall strip mall on the west side, with a few metal café tables for outdoor seating. Inside is a large area with plenty of seating, plus some additional rooms for groups to meet. We received a friendly greeting and helpful service at the counter. I ordered my usual London Fog (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam), and they did a great job preparing it. I also ordered a Cranberry Orange Scone, which they warmed up. After a few minutes (to allow the tea to steep), both items were ready. The London Fog was excellent -- flavorful, balanced, and not overly sweet. The scone, however, was disappointing; though warmed, it tasted dry and stale. Two other issues detracted from the visit. Much of the furniture looked worn and past its prime, and there were flies throughout the space that were a constant distraction. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. While the beverage was very good, the food quality and atmosphere would keep us from recommending or returning.

All entrees come with 1 trip to the salad bar, which had a large selection of fresh vegetables and other goodies (delicious soups, potato salad, fruit and more). The rolls brought to the table were incredibly fresh. I got the half rack of ribs, which were probably the leanest ribs I've ever had. The meat was a little on the dryer side and the sauce didn't add a ton of flavor, but it was still a satisfying meal.

A great burger with cheddar cheese, house made french onion dip, green onions and wavy potato chips. What a great combination!!! Loved it. As an added bonus, they offer gluten free buns. The fries had just the right crunch....they know what they're doing. My husband had the bbq burger and cleaned his plate!!! Reasonable prices, our bill totaled roughly thirty bucks.

The Jet Room is definitely a spot I'd come back to for the food. Service seems to depend on which…read moreserver you get. I had Katy(?) and she was fabulous--friendly, attentive, and on top of things. Some of the other servers seemed a little confused, and I noticed stacks of warm food sitting around from the kitchen waiting to be taken out. That said, my food was marvelous. My dad got the crab cake with poached eggs, and that was excellent as well. The food is easily the highlight of the experience. If you're coming with a group larger than four, I'd recommend calling ahead. This definitely feels more like a "eat and go" kind of place rather than somewhere people linger and socialize after their meal. Unfortunately, the jet strip is currently under construction, so there isn't much to see outside right now. Normally, I imagine that would add to the experience, but for the time being, the view isn't much of a selling point. Even with the construction and some inconsistency in service, I'd still say the food is worth the trip.
