We've been to both the Verona and DeForest location. Food and service are great at both locations!…read more I like that Verona allows reservations but DeFroest does not and it fills up quick on a Friday night and parking is limited. Friday night fish fry IS A MUST!!! It is such a value and one of the best fish fry's we've had. I love that you have so many choices for sides and your not just stuck with fries and slaw. Verona also has a great outdoor space as well. We're hoping at some point they will branch out to McFarland, Monona or east Madison as it's about a 30 minute drive for us to get to any of there locations. They are such a hit, I can not imagine them not being successful at yet another location.

Decent seafood boil in Madison! The servers were really nice, and they sat us down immediately…read more(there was ample seating). I ordered a Combo E to share with my boyfriend and they let us sub the crawfish with mussels which was great! There was soooo much food. The sauce was a little bland in my opinion, so I wish it was more flavorful (cajun sauce, medium heat). We also found multiple pea crabs in our mussels, which negatively affected the experience since the mussels weren't cleaned to remove them. Great portion for the price though!

We tried the special beef tartare appetizer which admittedly was a little one-note and salty. I can't really blame them for that though because I'm the one who ordered beef at a seafood restaurant. The star of the show was the lobster roll which was doused in butter. I like a little more mayo but the caper aioli which came on the side with the fries was a good addition. The lobster was plenteous, succulent, sweet, and buttery. The pickapeppa remoulade was delicious to dip the fries in - the fries were perfectly done too. I would skip the scalloped potato side - it was bland. We will definitely be back for the lobster roll!

I ordered the shrimp and grits which also included pork belly. The pork belly was pure fat with no pork. The grits were more of a cream than actual grits. The scalloped potatoes tasted like milk.

Servers are very attentive and will always bring you more bread, etc. Limited seating so if you have a party of 6 or more, definitely call and make a reservation. Went there with the Vietnam Veterans of America (about 50 people) and they treated everyone great. Could NOT do that on a weekend though, Did it on a Thursday night and almost filled the whole restaurant (about 70 is the max), A MUST go-to restaurant. (Supper Club)

It was busy but they were able to seat us right away. Our pleasant server provided us with drinks an our orders came quickly. I had the Wednesday special queen cut prime rib with 4 deep fried shrimp, along with sides of salad, au gratin potatoes and chicken dumpling soup. I enjoyed it all. My prime was very tender. and My wife had the breaded pork tenderloin. There were two huge tenderloins that had thin and crispy breading and were moist inside. She enjoyed them but noted a little more seasoning in the breading would have been nice. Great atmosphere and set, good food with very filling portions. 4.5

they have the best winton soup! Yum! I have been going here…read moresince around the time they opened? Some things they do better than others but isn't that every restaurant? I like any of their chicken, pork or veggie dishes (not a beef eater so don't judge on that). Their pork fried rice is delicious to me as are some of their spicy chicken dishes. N.B. for the person who wrote they found feathers on their chicken? I can say that in well over 20 years or however long I have gone here I have never found any such thing! I alway do take out. Yes, there are tables and chairs but it's not truly set up for that ambiance wise.

Definitely see why people recommend it.
