The self serve Bloody Mary garnish bar was 100% worth it for brunch. They had meat sticks, pickled…read moreeggs, pickled veggies, hot sauces, etc. It was basically an appetizer. Food was also very tasty. Service was friendly and there was a large parking lot. Would definitely visit again if in the area!

This is a nice supper club that is away from downtown and has parking. We were sat in their main…read moredining room but apparently theirs an upstairs I don't know if that is for parties or the public though and then the have a large bar area. The area is very moody lighting and even has small lamps on each table. Our server and staff were great and everything came out timely. We got an old fashioned and a sangria. The sangria is strong but you won't know it until you stand up. We started with the cheese puppies and they had a fantastic pull to them. Some of the best version of cheese curds I've had in a while. My husband and I both had salads and the bowl was too small for the salad but it was a decent salad I do wish the cheese was sprinkled on top as it ended up going to the bottom of the bowl. For an entree I had steak frites. Fries were solid and the cooking of the steak was good with the charcoal but it didn't have much flavor. The chard on the side was also good considering I've never had it. For dessert we had the valentine special chocolate cake and again it was good but nothing super special. We didn't stick around the bar too long but enough to get a winning pull tab. I would come back for the bar tenders they seemed chill.

This market just opened their hot foods section and I am definitely going back. Their stuffed wings…read moreare well flavored and up to size, if not bigger the stuffed wings commonly found in the twin cities of MN. De-boned well. The dipping sauce may have just been sweet eggroll dipping sauce from the bottle. The papaya salad has pretty much all the ingredients an enthusiast would want. Only thing missing is pork rinds (which you can purchase from the market). Just be sure to specify how you like your salad done. Overall, great bang for you buck. Good portions and flavors. Friendly staff as well. Would be nice to have more options.

So excited to see the deli up and running, following the remodel! Hot foods available can vary on a…read moreday-to-day basis. I have tried the following (starting with my faves): - Stuffed Wings (5/5): Packed with filling, and flavorful! - Chicken Eggrolls (5/5): Filling is very similar the stuffed wing, and good sized! Perfectly golden sand crispy. It comes with a sweet and sour sauce (1/5). I would prefer a spicy peanut sauce. - Papaya (5/5): Legit, with remnants of tamarind and crab! Definitely why I will be returning to the deli. This is made more Laos-style (dark and fishy), rather than Thai-style (light and sweet). - Purple Sticky Rice (5/5): Pairs perfectly with everything on their menu! - Steamed Tilapia (4/5): Good flavors! But if you're not a fan of picking thru all the little bones, this may not be for you. - Hmong Sausage (3/5): Flavors are okay, but nothing special. I would rather buy the frozen ones and cook them at home. - Pepper Sauce (1/5): This comes with the meats that you ordered. It's watered down, sweet with a couple slivers of Thai chili and cilantro. I did see that they sell small containers of a more potent pepper sauce for an extra $1. I assumed that was what came with my order, but it was completely different. Will definitely pay extra for that next time!! The seating area is clean and very spacious. The new refrigerators look beautiful and hold a lot more products--from Asian greens, to dairy products and an array of beverages! The owners are great, and have reached out to the community for feedback on products and services. Aside from Asian products, they strive to provide African, Latino and American products. This includes fresh produce and meats, dry/canned goods, sweets, frozen products/foods, and so much more! Check it out for yourself!

I was immediately drawn to the jewelry. She has a case full of gold-plated necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Another case houses more colorful jewelry pieces and bracelets with animal designs (lots of elephant detailed jewelry for the Delta women). Then she has a wall full of unique African-inspired earrings and necklaces, including some lavish, hand made pieces, complete with cowrie shells. Some of the jewelry came in sets, others had matching pieces that you could purchase separately. I went a little overboard on the jewelry purchases, but I knew that these were one of a kind finds. I was specifically looking for a dress or skirt. She has an entire area dedicated to clothing and fabric. I fell in love with the skirts. The colors and prints were lovely, and the material was top notch, not that cheap polyester material that some places sell. To boot, they are machine washable AND they have pockets!! (I LOVE pockets!) The skirts were $65 each. She also sells African foods, drinks, and skin care products. The 100% all natural butter (made from mangoes, almonds, and coconut; no animal products) is amazing. I bought a jar for $20; it makes my skin so soft, and it smells good. I spent a lot of moolah in this store, but I honestly feel that the prices are reasonable for the quality of the products. The owner was very friendly and helpful as I browsed for what felt like hours. I would definitely visit again on my next trip to the Madison area.

I don't even like seafood but this fish themed bar was a blast! We saw the good reviews and…read moredecided to try it out. On a busy Saturday we couldn't even get a reservation til 9:30. We arrived at 9 and tried to frt seated early. No dice. But we sat the bar and had spritzers and appetizers. Not bad! Lots of local brews and ciders, plus plenty of open sparkling wine. The signature sardines were imported and served in the tin. What, you thought they came from lake Monona? It's across the parking lot, but these were from Spain. I'm told they were good. Let my take a moment to mention how friendly the service was. At the bar and all the helpers, I can't believe how kind and friendly they were. Order a little or a lot they were there to serve. By the time we got a table we were well on our way. Our server was excellent. Super nice, and knowledgeable about the menu He talk to us about the menu and took our orders from memory. We ordered everything from his suggestions. It was good move. We had the special scallops. They were 10U size, meaning 10 her pound. Each plate came with three peices. Th hey were good. We also ordered the lamb chops. Seated with a burnt crust. I think wrapped in bacon. Wow we really enjoyed it too. Dessert almost got skipped we're so full from a weekend of eating. He highly recommended the butterscotch pudding. It was like a big cup of pudding. It was amazing, highly recommend. We also shared a standard vanilla crème brûlée, which was merely very good. Light fluffy and perfectly crusted. Yes the food was good. The vibe was energetic. But what really made it enjoyable me was the friendly service and knowledge of the food.
