My wife and I have been going there for 26 yrs. Has always been great. However, the last several times dining wasn't what we expected. The beans for some reason have been changed and lost the authentic taste. The hot salsa wasn't as hot or tasty either. We have always raved to our friends and relatives about Pedro's but not now until we try it again. Seems like garnish etc. has been cut back. Large portions without the taste is just that a large portion!!

I was visiting Madison for a day when I went to Ancora to pick up a latte. This was the cafe closest to where I was staying and I walked there when it was raining. Fortunately, the walk was well worth the coffee and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. While I did not spend time, the ambience seemed very homely. I would definitely frequent this place if I were to ever live in Madison.

Hillstone, while on the pricey side, is worth every penny. The service and food are both above par. Though the name wouldn't imply that sushi is a specialty item of theirs, it should NOT be missed! Also, the crispy fish sandwich is delish as well. The only complaint that I have about Hillstone is the lack of Happy Hour. My girlfriends and I would frequent the place more often for afternoon chat sessions but right now, we would break the bank! Hillstone has a trendy feel - especially the bar / patio area but the service and food prove that this place isn't just here for a minute. Give it a try!

I've had pizza on the east coast from NYC to Miami, west coast, in several western states, and when island hopping and this is one of my faves. The sauce tastes fresh and is flavorful. Have also had their pasta, lasagna, salads and desserts. Was satisfied with all of it. Had to go 4 stars however because I think their "combo" pizza, with all it's veggie freshness, ends up being on the soggy-side typically (likely from all the moisture from the fresh toppings ... downfall of greatness). This is not the case with their other pizzas so I forgive them.
