text: Excellent addition to Madison restaurant scene Feels a lot more like NYC than Madison Great ambience great duecor fantastic menu service and food and affordable prices toonnThe bar area is very nice and cocktails list is impressive I tried one with prosecco vodka and lemon sorbet and it was great and only The booths have high walls so it is a very private setting if you take a booth For appetizers we got wellpresented olives bar for plenty of olives and good variety and they were warmed and cured meat and cheese plate that was with ridiculous amount of food easily enough for people types of cured meat and types of cheese everything was deliciousnnAll pasta menus are available in half portions we had black tagliatini for and branzino wrapped in prosciutto and everything was very tasty We also had two desserts for people and that was a mistake as desserts were big so one is plenty to share among people Good list of dessert drinks as wellnnService was spectacular very timely we never felt left without attention and the waitress was very nice We also had couple managers stop by and ask how everything went Our total bill was per person before tip for appetizers entrees desserts and more than one drink per person I would say it is great price for such level of food and servicennThe only thing that could be improved is density of the seating add more hightop tables and more tables overall otherwise the place feels just a tiny bit too underfillednnOverall this is my new most favorite place in Madison Will come here for drinks instead of Merchant
