Problem: HELLO BIRTHDAY CAKE ICECREAM! I was with some fellow Carnegie Mellon alum and they swore that I needed to get the Birthday Cake. I am not one to be craving ice cream but it was so good.

Problem: This place has the WORST service of any pizza place that we've ever tried in Henderson. AVIOD AT ALL COSTS, frozen pizza from your house will be a more pleasurable experience. They outright lie that it's a 20 minute wait, it was an hour. That have four POS terminals with only ONE person working. The staff is all untrained kids, no seasoned supervision.

Problem: Sometimes a girls just got to have some foie gras. When that craving arises, make the trip to Osteria. They are one of the few places in Madison that take a minimalist approach to preparing the protein. (And if you know of others, please advise me!!) The foie gras is pan seared, placed upon a toasted brioche triangle and topped with green apples, toasted hazelnuts, and an elderberry reduction. The tart and sweetness of the side players truly complement the liver, and the meat itself was every bit of the creamy melt-in-your-mouth experience I craved. Nutty, buttery, and not a trace of bitterness. Other notables about the restaurant: they are definitely better than what their restaurant week menu showcased, since I was pretty disappointed by what I had back then. My dinner mate and I shared a half salumi plate and it was fantastic. I couldn't tell you what any of the meats were but I can tell you I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. A picture is worth a thousand words! My hesitation from giving them 5 stars is that they may be a little too "authentic". As in they also adopted the Italian speed of service. But that's part of the charm too, just allowing yourself to relax and forget the rush to get to the next spot. Overall, I strongly suggest wondering away from the main Capitol square restaurants and trying out this gem, foie gras craving or not.

Problem: Terrible experience. I have taken watches to these guys over the years because I believe in supporting local business. I have never been totally pleased with their work, but it has been acceptable in the past. Recently, however... I took a mechanical/automatic watch for repair, was given an estimate of about 200-250, and a time frame of 10 weeks. Twelve weeks later I called to ask for the watch. I left a phone number to be called back. Three days later, I called again. Same story. Finally after the 5th attempt the watch maker called me to tell me that he had not been able to find the parts to fix the watch, that he will have to "make" them himself, and that it is going to cost me between $650-750. I retrieved the watch because it was not worth that much, and sent it to a reputable watchmaker in Cincinnati. This is cut and paste from the email I received from the Cincy watchmaker: "Sounds like he really had no interest in doing the job. I'm not aware of a single part that anyone would have to "make" for a basic 7750 like this...virtually everything is available. Some of it isn't cheap anymore, but it can be obtained. I didn't find anything obvious upon disassembly." The watch was fixed, no new parts were needed, total cost: $150. Moral: don't go there if you need a watch fixed.
