pretty solid restaurant in madison that i've heard good things about it! interior gave upscale bar vibes with dark walls and music that i actually enjoyed having in the background. overall was satisfied with our dishes but there were still some misses. the charcuterie board is a great option for people to share, the figs were a unique option that i liked but wasn't entirely for me. looooved the pork belly - this was so tender while being crispy at the same time! the red snapper was the clear winner of the entrees - it was actually crispy on top compared to the whitefish, which was almost kinda soggy and underwhelming. the foam on the whitefish was interesting but nothing to be impressed by. the flavors were lacking - especially when it renders from the tom kha soup. the dessert was the absolute best tho!!!! kind of like a cream puff but with wisconsin maple ice cream, with a caramel glaze underneath and a pecan coating on top. our server did a good job but felt young and new to the position, which wasn't a big deal. drinks were also very strong

Enjoyed a drink and lite bite before heading to a show at the Overture Center. I love the option of sitting at the bar and have lucked out a couple of times. It gives the opportunity to watch the bartenders make drinks. I've found everyone to be helpful and friendly. With so many of their own ingredients and sourcing locally outside of that you can really taste the quality in each dish. The bar board came with a couple of cheeses, meat, bread, crackers, nut butter, jam and sliced apples. I left feeling full and not heavy.

Heritage Tavern has been on our list of restaurants to try in Madison for ages. We finally did just that last night and were not disappointed. The menu is concise yet thoughtfully curated with unique options to choose from. The food lives up to the hype and then some. However, their dessert menu was the real show stopper in my opinion. The Caramel Profiterole was decadent and mouth watering. You can never go wrong with a sweet treat. The inside is bustling in the best way. They have two dining areas, one closer to the bar giving it a more tavern-esque vide. The second is more intimate and moody, nestled in the back of the restaurant. Our waitress was a delight and we will definitely be returning in the near future.

We tried brunch here before an event across the way at the Bartell Theatre. The food was absolutely delicious! Bacon and cinnamon rolls? Yes...you must try! Our drinks were all delicious and portions were really well-sized. Our server was great, and the service was generally quick throughout the meal. The restaurant was packed a little tight, but they are a smaller location. We will definitely return here! I would try dinner sometime.

Yum! I stopped in to Heritage while tracking my nephew in the marathon course downtown. I had read they have one of the best Bloody Marys in town. It was very good, nice balance of flavors. We also ordered the ham cinnamon roll. Wow, that was good too. My only complaint was We were never given napkins and the cinnamon roll is quite sticky. I ended up using the drink napkin from the bar.

Pleasant modern American restaurant with a cozy and intimate ambience, great service, and well seasoned food. We arrived after 8 PM and things were still poppin'. This place is doing well. Prices are a bit sharp, but it's not unreasonable in today's world. The artisan bread and maple butter were delicious. The bread had a lovely crumb and the crust was thin and crisp, perfect when slathered with sweet butter. The crispy pork belly and tuna plate is meant for two, with two cubes of fried pork belly each with an accompanying slice of tuna sashimi, and a sweet and tart fruit compote. The rich pork belly paired well with the acidity of the fruit, though I don't think the tuna added much to the dish. Pork belly in all of its forms is delicious, and this was a great mix of flavors though a bit pricey for such a small portion. The Berkshire pork schnitzel was generous and tender of a lovely classic cream sauce. The bouillabaisse was a bounty of clams, muscles, and shrimp topped with a savory cheese sauce with a side of toast to soak up the broth. Enjoyed both dishes, though the seafood broth was a bit too salty for my taste. We ended the night with the profiteroles (comes in 3) With Wisconsin ice cream sandwich between top with candied pecans and in a pool of caramel sauce. Classic, quite sweet, and delicious. Overall, this is a lovely new American restaurant with local ingredients and phenomenal staff. I like the cow painting on the wall. I'll be back for the cow and of course the food.

Lucky us! We were wandering around the capital trying to decide what to eat when came across this gem. We were there during Summer Restaurant Week, so I believe we had a modified menu based off of other reviews. Although the menu was small, the flavor was big. Lily, our waitress, explained they are famous for their pork. We tried spare tubes, braised, sausage and a lion cut. They were all awesome. The sausage was our favorite. If we are back in town, I would love to explore the items others reviewed.

Me and wife decided to try this place after seeing yelp reviews. The inside is nice. Wife really liked it. We started with the tempura cheese curds and deviled eggs. We both really like the cheese curds and deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were different. One was a spicy tuna and the other fried rice. We were a little skeptical but after trying them we were convinced. Two of the best deviled eggs we've had. The wife got a grilled cheese and I got the schnitzel with knockwurst. It was good but wasn't as impressed as I was with the starters. The wife felt the same with the grilled cheese. It was good, I mean it's a grilled cheese, but felt it was a little greasy. All in all it was good and we'd go back. Also staff were great.

I had brunch from here on a Sunday noon. Interior was spacious. I started off with a maple pecan croissant. That was really good . The whipped butter and artisanal jam which came with it was excellent as well. Maple lamb sausage and savory French toast was really good. The maple sausge had good flavor to it. Fried poached egg was done perfectly. Brioche french toast with maple ice cream was my other item. I loved that as well.

Stopped in for a midday brunch on Saturday. The restaurant wasn't packed and we were sat right away. The decor was very cute and the bathrooms were clean and well decorated. The mimosas were made perfectly with only a little bit of oj. Drinks did take a while to come to our table. I ordered the vegetarian Benedict which was delicious. The potato pancake? Hashbrown? I'm not sure what to call it was okay- I feel like it could have had more seasoning and wasn't very crispy. My boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs. The scrambled eggs were SO good-Perfectly fluffy. The fries were also top tier. Very crispy and nearly shoestring. We weren't very impressed with the size of the steak, but there was lots of food. Definitely will be back.
