There's apparently a venue on the second floor as well, but we only went to the rooftop bar open to the public. There was a decent crowd on a Friday night with one bartender - probably not gonna cut it long term when everyone's ordering Old Fashioneds. I was very grateful to get waited on first. They did not have Makers Mark at the bar, so I went with Bulleit instead and that doesn't really bother me. Just might need to get a few kinks worked out. It was still chilly outside so having some sun was very welcomed. There's not a ton of natural shade aside from parts of the building depending on time of day, so I hope there will be some awnings or something as we go into summer. This is a fun spot and some rooftop dining is lacking in the area so it certainly fills a void. Even if it's just a suburban view, there's something that feels a little extra magical about a rooftop. I hope to be back.

I recently attended an engagement party at The Loft, and unfortunately, the experience was…read morecompletely marred by the appalling behavior of a staff member named Michelle. An engagement party is supposed to be a joyful, celebratory occasion, but Michelle's incredibly rude demeanor cast a shadow over the entire function. She lacked basic customer service and professionalism. Instead of helping the event run smoothly, her attitude created unnecessary tension and actively ruined the atmosphere of the evening. A venue can be beautiful, but the staff makes or breaks the experience. Based on how Michelle treated us, I absolutely do not recommend patronizing this establishment. Save your money and host your special moments somewhere that actually values its guests.

All during our recent 9 day trip to the Dells, my son was eying the second floor dining room (with…read morefloor to ceiling windows) of Swagat. Between that and the fact that he, my husband, and I all adore Indian food, we knew a stop here was a must. We finally made it in and were lucky enough to be seated on the second floor and the host was kind enough to accomodate our request for a window table. It was lovely to watch the hustle and bustle of Broadway from above while enjoying our meal. Our meal was amazing. My husband and I weren't super hungry so we shared an order of their tandoori salmon, raita, and an order of their garlic naan. All of it was top notch. The salmon was savory and flavorful, the raita provided a nice refreshing balance (as did what I believe was Dahi Wala Slaw which came on the side), and the garlic naan was lightly crispy as well as garlicky. We had no complaints about any of it! Our server was kind and accommodating throughout the and the prices are reasonable. Get to it!

Perhaps you've heard of this local celebrity! https://prairiepagesbooks.com/who-we-are Anyways, Prairie Pages caught my eye, rather the wife's eye as she screamed "OOH!" And I had to pull over since why not give me heart attack. She looked up the information checked out books from their website (seriously a wide selection to see if you are able to find or order what you need!) And instantly pleaded with me like a kitten to get in there! So we went! A how colorful and ambient this place has been. Smelled fresh and some spots like the days when you were a kid and biked yourself to the local library during the summer and spent your afternoons there because the library was your one true friend! She spent $150 I believe on her murder mystery novels because what uniquely interesting and spirited person isnt going to buy murder mysteries!?!? And one of my favorites, mystery wrapped books with accompanied tea to relax, sink, and feel the mood with every breezing sip. We found historically black/black authors, asian/hispanic/native and many more to connect with specific voices and different world views. Kids sections are ironed out well with amazing ethnic reads. And lounging to bring you to a comfortable "shoot! Shoot! Im late because i got so swooped in a book!' While you're at it! Its next to several businesses that are local so dont forget to stop in and find your next buzz. (Pictures coming soon)

I Yelped bourbon bars, and found Erin's Snug just down the street from our hotel. I had hoped to have corned beef and cabbage, but was told they were out. Ugh. So I settled for a Reuben. (I looked at him quizzically when he told me they could still make this, but he said the corned beef was prepared a different way. It was kind of shredded.) This wasn't optimal for my low-carb diet, but I pulled off most of the bread and went with it. It was okay, but not great. Kind of disappointing. My Maker's Mark Manhattan, on the other hand, was quite tasty. My husband had the stew, and said it was very good. It came with a large piece of bread on top, maybe soda bread, and was served in a large bowl, Other than the bartender making a joke about how they wouldn't put the Bears game on because this was Packers country (as it turns out, he's from Buffalo), and being oddly out of corned beef and cabbage, the evening was nice.

I can't tell you enough good things about Juke Box Bandstand! We had them DJ our wedding in April…read more2015 and they did such a good job. Austin made the planning process so easy. 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! His energy kept the night rolling and when the dance floor got too empty, he'd come out and dance with us! If you're looking for a great DJ in the Madison area, I highly recommend Juke Box and Marc.

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.

The barn was nice and clean. They have beautiful bathrooms. The wedding ceremony was at 500pm in front of the oldest hickory tree in the county. They set up 200 chairs with an aisle down the middle for the wedding party to enter. The property has a nice area to take pictures and enjoy and outdoor pre-reception. Our reception was inside the barn we ate comfortably and heard bride and groom stories, prayer, a charge from the father of the bride. Dinner was catered by Thunder Bay Grill. The wedding party DJ played nice taped music during the dinner. Dessert was a cheesecake. At the end of the reception we launched balloons with lights in them sending off in the air on a new adventure, just like the bride and groom. A beautiful night. I highly recommend this facility.
