text: This used to be our goto place for lake perch in the Madison area but things have been slipping a bit lately in the food quality and portion department I consistently get the steak and lake perch and the last few times I have had it the steak has been perfectly cooked to order The lake perch has been the downfall for me though The fish tastes like freezer to me and always has tons of bones in it I would much rather go to the Avenue for lake perch Always get a baked potato and it is hard to ruin that Salad is nothing to write home about just a bowl of lettuce but I do like their French dressing Rolls are always cold with rock hard butter I noticed last night that I had two fewer pieces of perch than I normally get Husband always gets the lake perch dinner and he loves it but I think his tastebuds are slipping in old age We love that they are so good to our toddler here and they give out a treat to little ones at the end of the meal Service is usually prompt but last night it was severely lacking even though it was slow with several open tables Took us hours between ordering and finishing the meal which is unacceptable Waitress made several errors with our orders took minutes to get white milk drinks sat empty for minutes as well Tip for those who want to try it avoid the extremely busy Fridays and go later on a Saturday You can still order lake perch although I told my husband that we will only go to the Avenue from now on after last nights debacle
