Truly the best dish on the menu, in my opinion. They were pretty busy but we didn't have to wait on a table. The fettuccini noodles are perfect and fresh. The ambiance isn't super romantic if you are looking to impress on a date night. It's more for families I'd say. They do have a room you can have for a large gathering. It's a perfect restaurant for my family and something on the menu for everyone.

Ate here several years ago when passing through Decatur and had the best experience and thought the…read morefood was awesome. Was passing through again and knew we would stop for lunch. We were really looking forward to trying it again. A bit disappointed on this trip. The food seemed just ok this time. The salad was nothing special and the taste of the food did not meet the high expectations from our previous visit. It was hot and tased ok, but not exceptional. The bigger issue was the service was not great. The staff seemed rattled. We were sitting right next to the drink station and could hear their chatter and frustration. In fairness, It was a Sunday afternoon and the church crowd had filled the restaurant. That may have contributed to the service issues and our disappointment.

Fresh Spirits fills a niche if you want a quick "in and out" limited adult beverage store. They…read morehave two dedicated parking spaces, which is convenient in this busy strip mall. They offer more beer selections, and I didn't pay attention to the liquor offerings because I was looking for a Vinho Verdi for my best friend's Christmas gift. They had one label, and the two bottles I was after, which did the trick. They don't have a vast selection of wine here, the prices are a little higher than most wine stores, and they do not restock the wine quickly. No wine tastings or painting classes or fun things like that, that I could see advertised anyway. No wine totes, wine themed anything...So, like I said, if you are shopping for wine, especially a specific one, you should call first to see if they have it. The staff are friendly and it has never been busy when I've been there. Again, it fills a niche and I'm glad FS is close by!

For appetizers we started with the Fried Green Tomatoes and Blue Point Oysters. For dinner we split the Halibut and Crab Cake and added the Truffle Deviled Eggs and Cole Slaw. The food was fantastic.

The entrees however were not good I ordered a New York strip for 50 dollars and my wife got something similar, they looked beautiful when arrived at the table. My steak however was full of grizzle and I could only eat part of it the majority of my steak was to hard to even attempt to chew from the grizzle I ordered my steak medium and it was a little under but not terrible, terrible quality cut for the price. This unfortunately will most likely be my one and only visit here as it's just too pricey to get poor quality food.

They had a band called Bob and the Fog playing. They sounded good. There is room to dance. They host other social events like Bingo, corn hole toss and darts. Parking is ok for persons with disabilities. They also allow outside food but NO DRINKS. I saw some deliveries in the area. They also had a food trailer in the parking lot. That person sold fried fish and chicken with chips it was ok. I think some pizzas would be great. Plenty of beer to choose from their house menu. They have some wine and canned sodas. Prices are fare. Overall had a good time and we would come back.

We have loved their Blood Orange Berliner Weisse for years and have always said we needed to make it to the brewery. Today was the perfect chance. It was a Sunday afternoon, and luckily, they were open. There were just a few people, but as they day progressed, more trickled in. Michelle, the beertender, at the time was great. She suggested all sorts of beers based on my taste and let me sample them all. One suggestion she had was to mix the Mango with the Blood Orange. It was really good. The two that I ended up drinking were the Duck River Dunkel and the ISB English Ale. I also liked that they had pretzels and popcorn as bar snacks. We met some really nice people and talked for a while. It reminded me of the old summer days when everyone would just sit and talk and enjoy life. It sure beat the fast-paced and scheduled life that goes on today.

This is not just pizza. This is Italy on a plate…read more If you've ever been to Italy -- or dreamed about it -- Valentina's Pizza delivers the real thing. The dough is imported from Italy, and you can taste the difference in every bite -- light, flavorful, and perfectly executed. Start with the bruschetta -- fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. The burrata, imported directly from Italy, is absolute perfection: rich, creamy, and unforgettable. The Valentina salad ties it all together -- crisp, bright, and crafted to complement the meal instead of competing with it. The pizza is flawless. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. This is the kind of place you go to slow down, share food, and enjoy the moment. Hands down the best pizza I've ever had. Madison is lucky to have a place like this. If you haven't been yet, go. You'll be back.

Bright open area with two side areas that could used to host private parties. We had the Valentina's Special which was incredible. Sausage and cherry tomatoes with a healthy drizzle of balsamic vinegar which made it. Also did a custom white pie which was equally excellent. There are lots of options on the menu and I can't wait to come back and check them out. You have got to eat here. I'm going to become a regular.

What a neat venue. We came here after an event for a family meal. They have great area for larger…read moregroups, and even though we were a group of 10, they very easily accommodated a larger party at the same time, and there was plenty of room for more. Smaller tables were closer to the front so the large groups didn't bother/overwhelm with the noise. We had several shareables for the table including the pimento cheese balls, the Bavarian pretzel, and the loaded bar chips that could have easily been a meal themselves. I had the Reuben (surprise) and the sweet potato fries. The were a treat, and after all the shareables, I was able to take some fries and part of the Reuben home with me. Would love to go back and sit on the patio for happy hour one evening.

We checked out Yelp reviews to know what to expect and put the address in maps and drove over. We haven't been downtown in a while on Holmes so we were shocked to see all the new businesses and a new parking garage. The location at 301 East Holmes was easy enough to find and with a parking garage across the street easy to park and walk to. We walked inside to a small cozy room with a colorful menu of 32 beers on tap. There were two customers when we arrived at 3:00. We walked around to see the beers on the shelves and in the cooler. I looked at the menu with the 32 beers and found Ride Share. Yay! It is on tap. We spoke with the owner who said he had the last keg and would sell us 32 ounce crowlers. Hubs placed his order and ordered two glasses for us at the bar. Tuesday is $5 beer all day. We hit the jackpot. When I checked in, YELP gave me a 15% discount on our purchase which was a nice surprise! Thank you to the owner and YELP. If you are in the downtown area and would like a quiet non-smoking place to unwind and enjoy a brew, you should stop by Old Town Beer Exchange and check out the different beers they have on tap and in the bottle.
