The food was wonderful. My daughter had the pita Greek sandwich and I had the margarita pizza. I would highly recommend either. The Crest on the pizza was the best I’ve ever had. We went at 3 o’clock, so we’re able to order from the lunch menu And the happy hour menu. Both were reasonably priced and the food was great. The atmosphere of the restaurant was classy. Great for a date night or an evening with friends. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.

Carolers were singing. They would move to different locations so all could hear them. They added a nice touch to the prime rib dinner buffet experience. We really liked the buffet style as well. Our server, Ana was amazing as always!
