Problem: I was just looking at the pictures I took when I was here last year and realized I had never gotten my review written. I was just driving by and spotted this place and decided to try it out. I was impressed there were mostly Latinos in there, in fact everyone but me, so I figured the food must be good. I mainly went in for seafood and the Ceviche tostada I got was excellent. But it was a cold day so I got a bowl of Caldo de Res, which I had never had before, and it was sooo good. Perfect! I left satisfied and with a warm tummy. I hope it's still there when I come back so I can eat there again! September 29, 2012: I'm back in town and returned here late this evening. I stand by my original review and opinions. The girl behind the counter was extremely nice, the place smelled wonderful and the food was delicious. There was not a thing wrong with the entire experience. I had no gastronomic problems after. I recommend this place with no hesitation. I got a Ceviche Tostada because I remembered how good it was last time and it didn't disappoint. I made a last minute decision to get the huge Chile Relleno on display and it may have been the best one I've ever had in 30 years of enjoying them. I mean, what more do we want? Great food, clean, Mexican band blaring. It was so good I didn't even have any leftovers.

Problem: I woke up and thought I was in a scary movie. Our flight got delayed so we decided to stay here for the night since we were gambling downstairs. BAD DECISION on our part. I realize we only got a standard room, but come on', STAINS on the floor are UNACCEPTABLE. The decor in the room was a bit spooky for me. To top it off, while I was showering, I looked up and part of the ceiling was open!!! What the... isn't that hazardous and breaking some type of code? Yes, it was one of the cheaper hotels, but with that price, I'd rather walk ten steps over and stayed at the Imperial Palace instead.

Problem: I like the vibe and the burgers here. The took away my favorite beer (a rasberry lambic style), but I can understand that something like that is not to everyone's taste! The only real complaint that I have is that one of the hostesses needs an attitude adjustment. I went in a couple weeks ago with a dear friend visiting from out of town and wanted to bring her to BrGr for a quick welcome drink when she arrived. We arrived around 4pm on a weekday, when the place was virtually empty, and asked to sit on the couches (again, the whole area was empty) and the hostess curtly refused to seat us there on the grounds that we weren't eating. It is my experience that the best way to handle policies like this is to say to the customer that they are welcome to sit where they would like as long as the place is empty, but that if a large table comes in they will have to move. After all, we just wanted a quick drink and, based on my experience of the place, would have been out before the rush. In any case, what was a pretty good opinion of the restaurant was seriously soured by this experience. The hostess wasn't even apologetic, she was off-putting and generally seemed like her decision was based on power and pride, not care for the customer or the business.

Problem: The first store of its kind in the US (in Madison, no less!), Vom Fass is a small German-originated boutique offering a wonderful variety of high-end vinegars, oils, spirits, wines and liqueurs. Everything (but the wine and liquers) is stored in cute clay-looking kegs. And the best part? The staff encourages sampling--of anything and everything. My sister and I were in on a recent afternoon, and had our own little tasting party... featuring wines from around the US and around the world, followed by thick, tasty-sweet balsamics, and capped with the best oil-vinegar combo I've introduced to my tongue in many a year: their mango vinegar paired with a chili oil. Amazing--my future greens and sauteed veggies salute you, Vom Fass!
