Like many other Yelpers I'm sure, I am a true devotee of the old-timey theaters; from single-screen neighborhood movie houses to the opulent grand palace theaters with their customized neon signs and ornate interior decor. This one's a true classic in downtown Madison, although they could update the sound system.

Since my last review I'd thought I would do an update. I received a message from the aquarium manager. She apologized immensely and set tickets for my family and I at will call to return as we please. She attempted to make things right where her employees went wrong. That tells a lot about a manager and how she expects things to be done and handled. I'm sure we will be returning soon to see if our experience will be better the next go around.

I feel like the other reviews are a bit unfair so far. Especially as it seems most of them went during the first 2 weeks the place was open (usually not a good time to judge the quality of a new restaurant). Personally, with the limited selection of tap beers in the town, this place is a gift. Tons of micro brews and local suds - some that I haven't even heard of. Like piano music playing classic hits was nice- not crazy loud. Service was just fine - very friendly. We ordered a salad with chicken (way too much stuff in the salad) and the fried mushrooms (surprisingly delicious). Overall, suggest if you are looking for a place with a wide selection of craft/local brews on tap, this place doesn't disappoint.

Went here while on my bachelorette trip. We went fairly early for dinner and had a group of 5. We still had to wait 45 mins or so and once we were seated - we saw only about half of the tables were full - hire more servers! Anyway the food was okay - had the Mac & Cheese which I have to admit was pretty good. We decided to share a frozen hot chocolate - I don't get what all the fuss is about? It doesn't taste like anything special. The best part was that the busser spilled it on my purse when taking it from the table and didn't bother to let me know. I discovered it later when wondering what a sticky dark substance was on my purse. I also get that splitting bills gets annoying because it requires so much more pushing buttons, but splitting on 2 cards shouldn't be that hard. We told the waitress what to put on each one and she repeated it back to us - and we said yes. She came back and had put the entire bill on 1 card, what? I asked her to correct it and boy was she pissed. Overall, the food is okay, not great, but horrible service. Would not go here again.
