We sat upstairs, at a bar table. We could have sat at the bar overlooking the chefs, outside at a small two-top table, or downstairs in the 'cave' (really cool space with wine cellar, separate bar and typical four-top/two-top tables).

We ate the following: chickpea and eggplant salad, garlic & bread soup, sheep milk bleu cheese, grilled leeks with some type of tomato-based rémoulade and venison served over morels and caramelized cauliflower. We had a Spanish red wine recommended by the host. Desert was chocolate sorbet a glass of desert wine.

All the dishes were top notch; the chickadee dish and the venison were outstanding, and we had to reserve ourselves while eating. Wine paring by the host was right on, and we were not rushed one bit. We sat at our table for over 2 hours and enjoyed every minute. The front and side of the upstairs are open air, and the nice weather was experienced by all because of this. Location on Madison is fine, as the street traffic was not noticable at all. Overall atmosphere was very enjoyable.

The host was fantastic, friendly, and served us a free glass of each of the two wines we ordered, which certainly endeared us to him and the restaurant.

Would go back anytime, and hope to do so soon.
