    Miso soup w dumplings
    Heather B.

    My all time favorite place to eat Chinese. Good service! Always fresh and correct order and if not they correct it. The food was so good we forgot to take pics this time. We ordered online day before Christmas. The meal was wonderful. Highly recommend sesame chicken, and the crab Rangoon!

    Such cute decorations

    Heard good reviews from this place. We came in with a party of five, and service greeted us with all smiles. Seated us immediately. (we came around 8 at night nobody there except for us) when we looked at the menu, there was a large variety of food options to chose from. First thing we ordered was crab Rangoon for the appetizer gave us a generous portion. Ordered food, chose shrimp with garlic sauce. They definitely didn't skimp on the shrimp (they were huge!). We also got chicken and broccoli, Orange chicken, kung pao chicken so many vegetables and, originally, some peanuts. We also got vegetable fried rice. You can pay an extra two dollars for extra beef or chicken or, you can have extra vegetables. You can get both and I'm pretty sure it will tally you up to 4 dollars. We took the leftovers home and now we will have something to eat for lunch tomorrow. . We came in with smiles and left with smiles. I totally recommend this place and hope you try it when you have a chance/or in the area.

    see the clear order for NO broccoli

    This was the second time I have tried to order something from them for a family in labor and the second time it was so wrong it is going out to the dogs. The Crab Rangoon was so sickly sweet even the chickens would not eat it. The Orange Chicken was very specifically ordered to have no broccoli or other vegetables due to allergies. As you can see from the receipt it was clearly marked and, as you can see, the dish is full of broccoli. There is no flavor of orange (usually there are some dried orange peels in the sauce to push the flavor) and the extra container of hot sauce (I guess to adjust the temperature to the requested extra hot) was rancid. The first time I ordered last year I got back to the birthing center (30 minutes away) and half the order was missing and the Moo Shu was full of huge chunks of broccoli and green pepper and almost no carrots and cabbage. No Hoisin sauce, no wraps. Just as well, the chunks of Moo Shu would not have stayed in the wrap. That order went into the chicken coop as well. I'm done. I get that Midwest tastes and preparation are different but this is simply laziness and poor order care.

    Ordered the young chow fried rice. It was terrible! The rice was gummy and not prepared correctly. Complained and was told because its cantonese style its supposed to be that way. First time and last time ordering from there.

    Thirsty?

    tempest Oyster Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Madison, and I can't recommend it…read moreenough. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is perfectly sophisticated yet welcoming, with a classy, nautical vibe that feels upscale without being stuffy. The historic building (with its cool backstory) adds a unique charm, and whether you're at the bar, in the Boat Room, or on the patio during happy hour, it just feels special. The drinks are top-notch. Their cocktail menu is creative and well-executed think perfectly balanced classics and inventive options that pair beautifully with seafood. The wine and beer selection is solid too, with plenty of crisp whites that complement the menu. But the real stars are the oysters and crab legs. The oysters are incredibly fresh (they boast daily shipments), briny, and perfectly shucked some of the best I've had anywhere. We ordered a mix from the raw bar and couldn't stop. The crab legs? Outstanding huge, sweet, and steamed to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning so the natural flavor shines through. Paired with their drawn butter, it was pure indulgence. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, the portions generous, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're craving excellent seafood in a great setting, make a reservation at Tempest you won't be disappointed!

    Unfortunately I had to give this restaurant two stars although the oysters were absolutely amazing…read morebecause my meal was not very good. I ordered the shrimp and grits which also included pork belly. The pork belly was pure fat with no pork. The grits were more of a cream than actual grits. The scalloped potatoes tasted like milk. It was expensive and the food i ordered was not worth it. They also ran out of bread and the service was slow.

    I was staying in the hotel so Johnny's was convenient for Sunday dinner. My wife & I walked in…read moreabout 8 pm. Service was efficient & pleasant. I ordered a bowl of french onion soup. Wife ordered calamari appetizer. The free bread came - it didn't have a "dip" but on the other hand it was flavored with spices and even a little tomato sauce baked into the crust. I've had better but also worse. It wasn't oversweet like so much steak house bread. French onion bowl wasn't huge, but then it was only $7. It was decent though not amazing. The calamari was quite good. My wife really liked it. It came with two sauces- marinara and a mild horseradish. The horseradish was great, and I focused on it. We shared some kind of Italian sampler meal with chicken parmigiana. Fettucini "minelli", and parmesan-crusted steak. The "minelli" was basically alfredo. Slightly more oily & less creamy. The noodles were a little dry, like they'd been sitting out for a while before they were served. They didn't do much for me, but I don't like alfredo, so you can dismiss my lack of enthusiasm if you love alfredo. The steak itself was okay, but the "parmesan crust" was a half-inch of pesto, grated parmesan, and (I think) bread crumbs. It tasted mealy and a little tasteless to me, and somewhat spoiled the steak. In retrospect after the first bite, I should've scraped it off and just enjoyed the meat. The chicken parmigiana was absolutely middle-of-the-road. I was happy with it, but not exultant. In general none of the "parmesan" emphasized dishes had a strong parmesan flavor, like they were worried I'd be turned off by it. Maybe a Wisconsin thing? They did add a bowl of grated Parmesan flavor I could spoon onto my food and I used most of it on my fettuccine. For dessert we had the limoncello cake. I thought it was a teensy bit dry, but my wife LOVED it. Had the leftovers for breakfast the next day. Overall I'd rate it 3 stars for my experience, and 4 stars for my wife's. For 3.5 stars The polite & attentive service bumps it to 4 I guess.

    Everything was great!! Food , service was excellent! I had the lunch steak and it was perfect, ,…read morepotatoes were delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. I highly recommend going to eat here. Also had a very nice server, very friendly and attentive.
