Q: I went to opening night at Province and the food was AMAZING. We had the flatbread pizza, crab cake (DELICIOUS), ahi tuna and salmon with asparagus. One of the things that I love is that you could order most of the dinner items in half-sizes (like the salmon and tuna), allowing you to try more things. We had some great drinks, the bartender did a fantastic job. For desert, the peanut butter flan was great, though big enough to share with two or more and the shot, a perfect small desert. Great food that is light, fresh, but leaves you feeling satisified without needing a nap afterwards! Being there opening night, I met the general manager, chef Randy and chef Rita and they all personally thanked us for coming into the restaurant. The ambiance is fantastic and I hope the opera, symphony, theater, downtown crowd discovers this as a great option for dinner or drinks before and after concerts. I thought Hanny's would be my downtown-post-concert hang, but Province has it beat hands-down. OPTIONS:

Q: Ok so I eat here frequently due to My boss always wanting to go eat there and I remember what it was like when it first opened up and it was really good back then, but last night just summed up where this buffet is going... to the dumps. The Crab had a lot of "black" rotten looking parts and was not cooked well, the sushi is meh, the rest of the food was very "dry" and most looked as if it has just been sitting there a long time. I remember when it used have a great Middle Eastern selection, which is now some dried up meat slices and pita bread and a few other things. I really cannot believe there letting it get this bad. I have to say the best thing for me last night was the vanilla ice cream from the machine. It is not even that cheap of a buffet. The servers are nice and generally fast so that saved this review from a one star. We did talk to the waitress and she said many customers are complaining but that the manager lady says the foods good and does not want to hear it. Sadly, this gets my first two star rating. OPTIONS:

Q: I want to like Soga. I love shabu shabu, and this is the only place (I know of) to get authentic shabu shabu in Madison. Their broth is delicious; delicate and reminiscent of the sea, it takes on the flavors of the ingredients you choose to dip. Unfortunately, the service is tepid, at best. I've been here twice; the first time, we had to wait up by the bar for 5 minutes before anyone would come out and let us pay our check. The most recent time, we still had to get up and try to hunt someone down to pay. You'd think they wouldn't make it so hard to pay.... The last time we went, we ordered Mai Tais. For $6 on the menu, we were impressed with both their balance and their strength. When the bill arrived, we were surprised to see we had been charged $7 apiece. We asked the waitress about the price discrepancy; she apologized, and said their bartender was out for the evening, so they needed to go across the street to Osaka House to source the drinks. While we gladly would have approved had she notified us of this before we ordered, we were not happy to be charged more than we agreed. Plus, no effort was made to correct the error (just "sorry, I should have told you - but that's what it costs"). It wasn't the price that irked us; it was the fact that they didn't disclose what we would actually pay. Both times we've eaten there, the employees have been on their phones, sitting in the dining room - ignoring customers. This last time, they were eating staff meal an hour before they closed - again, in the dining room. I've been disappointed in customer service and problem resolution. I think 2 strikes is it for this place.... OPTIONS:
