A: The review for two stars defines it as "Meh. I've experienced better." And I have. My parents were in town, and a 20-page beer menu seemed as if it was going to be something that my father was going to enjoy (he's a beer guy). I brew beer and have tasted most things on their menu at other places, so I was intrigued. I can't say that I've ever been more embarrassed to bring my parents to a Madisonian restaurant. To start - the wait staff does nothing but stand there. Four people behind the bar, all just chatting with each other. I don't understand how a head of house doesn't understand table times, but apparently 35 minutes means an hour and ten minutes - all because they were watching a four top finish their meal and clean the table. I live and work with plenty of restaurant people to know how to correctly estimate wait times, and putting a fifth chair on a four top should actually make your wait MUCH shorter. Not so much. The big thing about this place is the beer menu. The waitress didn't seem to have any knowledge of them whatsoever. Also, she didn't seem very happy - she acted rather miserable as if waiting on us was an inconvenience. Asking for an additional menu seemed to be a chore. She came back to our table one time, because we called her over and asked for the check. Once she dropped off the food she was nowhere to be seen again. The menu is entirely unimpressive. It's obvious that the place leans on it's extensive beer menu and doesn't care much for the people eating there (three waitresses vs. five bartenders). That being said, the menu seemed appropriately short. Do five things and do them well. Not so. The burger is a 1/4 lbs. patty. It's a $12, 1/4 lbs. patty. Not impressive. The chicken is two sad pieces of cornish hen not dressed or sitting on anything colorful or inventive. The steak is good, but you have to work really hard to mess up a steak. Thus, two stars. The brussel's sprouts were honestly some of the best i've ever had in my life, so they have that going for them. I felt as if our experience there was a side-show to sitting at the bar, and that the food is an afterthought - just like serving us. Waiting for twice the estimated amount, slow service, an angry waitress, and clearly overpriced entrees that are meant to make guests feel as if they're getting more for their dollar - no. It's not. I work in the industry and I know when quality portions need to be kept small in order to keep costs reasonable. NOTHING on the burger demanded $12. As a joke, we went home and recreated four of them. It cost us a total of $18 for all the ingredients. It took ten minutes to shop, ten minutes to make. For one of the best reviewed places on here, I think people are seeing what they hope to see - and after paying top dollar it's hard to admit that you've been cheated. I maintain no such illusions, whatsoever.

A: My favorite meal in Vegas for this trip. I work as a freelance reporter and was carrying a heavy camera bag, so I was pleased when were showed to our table and the wait staff offered to take and store my bag...thank you! Our waiter was great, but on top of the already good service, the manager took a few minutes to talk to us as well and recommend a sister restaurant out in LA. The biscuits served ahead of time were delicious, the Caesar salad we split was great but nothing special (it's just a Caesar after all). For dinner my friend and I both had Seared Day Boat Scallops* Butternut Squash Puree, Brussel Sprouts, Pear, Pecans, Brown Butte. So good! Not as good as the similar dish at 230 Forest Ave in Laguna Beach. This dish needed a bit more texture. Maybe some crispy leeks on top. Very good but texture overall was a bit mushy. For a side we shared the truffled mac and cheese which was good, but I don't really care for broccoli in my mac and cheese...what's the point?! I also love a little bit of breading on top of a baked mac and cheese as well, but that didn't stop me from chowing down none the less. No room for dessert this time but a great night of food. I'll put in on the list for a go back from Vegas along with Strip Steak at Mandalay Bay.

A:
Fast, friendly, fresh. Try the flautas with chicken, or the gorditas with steak. The hot sauce is nice and spicy and flavorful. We get takeout from here about every other week and the food is consistently delish. Even the rice and beans are good.
