text: Maybe stars would be better I took friends from out of town and some of them seemed a little uncomfortable with the familytype atmosphere And the waitress seemed kind of short for the table height we felt sorry for her Anyway as for the food The fries were good I have had better in Madison at Brasserie V the dates however were great I also ordered the orzomussels a very nice cold salad and the octopuschickpea dish The octopus was cooked very very well and the chickpeas meh I hate chickpeas But the octopus in that dish was great The tempo if the meal was good although the veal large plate that one of my friends ordered the other of us ordered and shared small plates was very late in arriving So we were wondering when he would get served That was kind of odd We also sampled the beets cannot eat them allergic the ravioli great buttery sauce and the tomatoburata I really really liked the mini mini tomatoes they were using in their dishes They were excellent For dessert I had the peach panna cotta Seemed more like nectarines to me that was very nice and my companions had pumpkin cheesecake that they all swooned over The waitress was very knowledgeable about the wines and the one winedrinker was very satisfied with what she suggested nnSo this is a place I would go to again but I would not take people who want a more traditional seating in a restaurant Or maybe next time we will be luckier and not be seated next to people who are drinking just a little too much vino
