I had heard good things about Bon Appetit being a new-ish local-foods cafe in Madison, and so had been excited to try it.  But we left the restaurant very disappointed.  \n\nFor one thing, there was almost nothing that could have possibly been local in our meals, as far as I could tell.  The majority of the dishes on the small menu featured non-seasonal fruits and vegetables, like avocado and strawberry and tomato.  On top of that, the non-local foods we did have were prepared in fairly bland ways (and such small portions!*), especially given the relatively steep prices (entrees at $19). The food was fine, but given these caveats, really not worth it. \n\nAnd although the service was passable, the fact that the waitress and chef sat and talked very loudly, in the most boring ways possible, about movie trivia through our whole meal (\"have you seen that one movie with that British gal? You know the one who was married to Nathan Lane? Oh you mean the one who won that Emmy?\")**, made the whole setting very uncomfortable. And because the place was so small and we were the only patrons in the restaurant, we could hear all the clattering in the kitchen and had trouble focusing on our own conversation. \n\nWe will not be returning. \n\n*Annie Hall reference \n**Yes, I realize I offered some movie trivia of my own
