The chili was absolutely fantastic, and you can tell the homemade sauces are made with care--they were all delicious. I ordered the walleye sandwich, and it was huge! The fish was fried perfectly--crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. My husband had the pot roast special with mashed potatoes, and he couldn't stop talking about how much he enjoyed it. They have a huge selection of beer! One thing that really stood out was the owner stopping by our table to visit with us for about 10 minutes. He was genuinely friendly, and it made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Excellent food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

This place is pretty average and expensive for what it is…read more I've tried the arancini, picante pizza, capellini balsamico, and the pasta alla vodka. All items were mediocre and expensive. The arancini was soft and soggy but probably the best tasting item. The pizza was just ok, nothing special but not bad. The real issue was with the pasta, specifically the capellini balsamico which was bland and had way too much sauce compared to pasta - it was almost like a soup. The vodka pasta was ok, slightly less bland but also just swimming in sauce. For the price I expected the quality and taste to be better. After 2 tries I think it's safe to say I wouldn't try again.

This is one of those places. Restaurant is spotless and lovely, location is superb. Coffee is insanely delicious, and in today's over-roasted world, it is a welcome surprise. Menu is perfect size. I had the cornbeef hash, even though its an Albanian spot and i was aware, but the asian upbringing doesn't allow me to pass on hash, but i added a side of the house specialty sausages, which are generically speaking a Cevap or Eastern European sausage. Both were outstanding, my only regret was there wasn't a few more in the order of 3. Eggs were perfectly cooked over-medium and the toast was equally wonderful.

Food: A nice selection of pizza, split between ones with and without tomato sauce. I got the Lombarda which has Gorgonzola Cream, Pears and Apricot Glaze and Arugula. My wife got a cheese, sausage, mushroom and onion (CSMO). Both of them came out, pipe hot, with nice crisp crust. Nice presentation for both pizzas. They were both good, but I was a bit underwhelmed with the Lombarda. If it had Apricot Glaze, it wasn't very noticable, and maybe was the reason that it needed a bit of salt to enhance the toppings. The CSMO was very flavorful, and clearly the better of the two. Service: Super friendly and helpful service, both when ordering and when the food was delivered. The cashier was patient and happy to give us advice on what their favorites were. Atmosphere: It's a small place. Some interesting vintage large photo print on the walls.

Both the bags that the bread was put in was covered in oil by the time I got home ( about an hour later). I thought maybe it was just baked and put out so I let it be and a few hours later, while deciding to make lunch, the bag was really covered in oil. The bread tastes like oil and salt. I am very discouraged by this as I know Bloom usually does really well with all they do! Maybe it was just a bad baking day but nonetheless, I had to throw my bread away :( it was not edible

Nothing but positivity, and it transfers into each and every delicious dish! We absolutely loved the complimentary cheese puffs (Gougeres). It was the perfect start to a fantastic meal. I enjoyed a starter of beet, walnut and cheese tart, and my dining partner thought his French Onion soup was stellar. I chose Monkfish stew for my main dish. It was incredible....silky, savory broth with melt-in-your-mouth monkfish plus tender shrimp and asparagus. The bread served with the stew was so delicious to soak it all up. My dining partner thoroughly enjoyed his Bistro steak with king trumpet mushrooms. The mushrooms were so elevated and so delicious. We shared a side of charred carrots and thought very highly of them, too. We closed out our epic meal by sharing one slice of Gateau Basque cake. It was served with a side of a tart cherry compote, and together this dessert was perhaps THE BEST dessert outside of France. Incredible! Sitting at the bar, our server was bartender Nina W. She was entertaining and didn't mind all of our ongoing questions. She added a another level of true enjoyment to our experience. Just as we were finishing up our dining experience the orchestrating chef stopped over to introduce herself. Once Annemarie said her name, I knew she was one of the founders of Lallander and next-door Bloom Bake Shop, having been a customer ever since their first bakery in Middleton. I told Annemarie how impressed we both were with the food, and how all the staff seemed so happy. She said something like a restaurant is only successful with good people. It seems she is keeping her people, and her customers, very happy.

This French inspired place was on our list to try so with a reservation made two weeks in advance…read morewe arrived on a cold snowy Friday evening. We were ten minutes early and they had just opened - strangely they would not seat us though our seats at the kitchen bar were open. So we huddled on the bench five feet away from our seats. It was not a great start but that was soon forgotten given the rest of the evening was fun. When I went on-line to make a reservation the only seats available were at the kitchen bar - that turned out to be fortunate because it was highly entertaining. When we return we will book these seats again as a couple (if you are with a group it is not a good place to hold a conversation). The bartender/ our server Jackson was super friendly and did a great job answering all our questions as we quizzed him on the action in the kitchen which was right in front of us (it's a small tight space). We ordered a beer and a wine followed by a small cup of French onion soup which was very tasty and a serving of their pate which was also very good. It was good that we had these front row seats because for some reason the kitchen appeared to be running a bit slow so the wait for our mains was pretty long. We did notice that when the owner arrived she started to direct the kitchen staff and the pace picked up! I got the pork tenderloin which was very flavorful and done with a bit of pink so it was not dry. It was a large serving. My wife got the sea bass in a puff pastry which was beautifully presented. The sauce was essential otherwise the dish would have been a bit plain. She really liked it. We were too full for desserts but they looked tempting though they did give us some savory cookies from their Bloom Bakery which is next store. This is not an inexpensive place to dine but it was well worth it. We will be back!

The seating has been automatic for the three times I have been here. Service has been quick and frequent. Won't comment too much on the ramen as I typically get the curry dishes.

Their food's not bad at all - decent broth (a bit peppery), toppings were of good quality, and fundamentally everything was fine. I think the part that I'm hung up on is their pay-per-topping model of a menu. Ramen at base price really doesn't come with much... Adding the variety of veggies I'm used to makes the price rise pretty fast. Certainly not bad, but neither the best nor most affordable ramen in Madison.

We made a 12:00 PM reservation, which was definitely necessary because the place was full. Right off the bat, our server asked if anyone had food allergies or dietary restrictions. When I mentioned I have celiac disease, he confidently assured me they could absolutely accommodate it, which immediately gave me peace of mind. I ordered a strawberry spritz and we shared the gluten-free donuts to start. A huge win for the celiac community is that they have a dedicated fryer, so we also safely shared the truffle fries. For our main entrees, I had the fried rice which was excellent. My husband ordered the skirt steak hash with gluten-free toast and loved it, though it is worth noting for others that it packs quite a lot of spice. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive regarding the allergy protocols. The overall service ran a little slow, but it was understandable given how slammed they were for the Sunday rush. As an added bonus, the restaurant has its own parking lot, making the logistics seamless. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot, especially fellow celiacs looking for a safe and delicious meal!

Since it was nice outside we opted to eat on the small patio which was nice. Our server was was very good and kept things moving. It was happy hour so we ordered two of their spritzes which were $6 each - they were both good (strawberry/ limoncello). Appetizers were supposedly $10 each during happy hour - we got the tempura veggies which were very good. We also got the chicken wings which we later found out when we got the bill that they were not considered to be an appetizer covered by the happy hour pricing (they should make this clearer on the menu.) The wings themselves were good but six wings for $18 was a ripoff. I get it that inflation is high but that is ridiculous... My wife got the fried chicken sandwich which was very dry. This was the same result last time we were here - I guess we should have read our review and avoided it. Overall it was just an OK experience - disappointing.
