Customer Reviews
The Food was excellent! We had a little bit of a crowd, celebrating 3 birthdays, probably 12 people. The staff was very accommodating and nice. Our main waitress was Sommer B. And she was sweet, funny, and able to make recommendations to those who didn't know what they wanted. The atmosphere was cozy and clean. They don't waste any time clearing unused dishes and filling drinks which I really appreciate. Parking lot is very small but there are alternative parking areas nearby. I was my first time eating here and felt very welcome and food was delicious, I will be back.
We came for a day trip to Madison and found this beautiful restaurant for lunch. It used to be an ice house and some of the things used then are in the decor. Absolutely beautiful and clean. We both ordered the shrimp Santorini. I loved it! It could use a little bit more seasoning but everyone has their preferences. The bread was good and my husband ordered the Caesar salad and the dressing was perfect. I'd definitely come back again.
Overall nice dinner, however, there were some areas of improvement in the food. Pros: - the steak and fish/shrimp (see photos) were good with plenty of sides, jalapeño poppers - very attentive servers and were seated immediately - the cilantro orange sauce for the calamari was a hit - lovely holiday decorations. Cons: - the lasagna plating was disappointing, we were surprised there were no sides (especially for the price when compared to the other entrees) - the nachos were good and I liked the house made chips however the sauce was a bit bland and thin (felt more like a white sauce not a cheese sauce) - other tables were offered bread and we were never offered (only realized after the fact)
We were seated immediately. The host took and brought our drink orders. A few minutes later our waitress arrived and took our food order. Food came out from the kitchen in about 5 minutes. Fresh bread rolls with butter a Caesar salad and two pasta dishes. Both were okay but lacked flavor.
What many owners / operators of restaurants fail to grasp is your staff IS your success. You can have a prime location, with the most wonderful food, and great prices. Yet, the people who directly interact with your patrons will be your face. My party interacted with Leann. I have nothing I can contribute regarding the rest of the Ricardo team, but when you visit... ASK FOR LEANN. Food was great... but that's expected right? Prices were reasonable... a good thing. But Leann took AWESOME care of us. Honestly, all the food was good. I know my team had the calamari, shrimp and peta bread. We had the salmon, filets, beef tips, and lasagna. I seem to recall the dessert my guys trying was the peanut butter pie, salted caramel cake, and a couple of other things. No-one had any complaints
