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.

I was so surprised to see that an SGD opened up in Madison. I came with two friends at around…read more1:45pm on a Saturday and it was packed. We joined the waitlist and were 11th in line so we weren't sure if we'd get a spot before the kitchen closed at 2:30pm. Thankfully the waitlist moved quickly and a table was ready at 2pm. We ordered a seafood pancake and each got a sundubu jjigae with the rice. The pancake was delicious- crispy and flavorful. Our tofu soups with beef came out shortly after. I got the regular spice level but could have definitely gotten it spicier. Overall, my rating would be closer to a 4.5 because instead of the hot stone bowl rice we were just given a bowl of rice which was unfortunate and they also didn't have cups for us until midway through our meal when we asked. They were very busy and they just opened so understandable. Otherwise, I'm excited to have an authentic a delicious Korean restaurant in Madison!

Gave this place a try after the hype that I have heard and was not disappointed. Their Soondubu…read moreJjigae is definitely a must-try. I enjoyed the soft tofu and flavors from it, and honestly each dish had its own unique character to it. My only wishes would be that the Seafood Pancake to have a more crispy texture and for the Bibimbap (Beef) to have a little more meat to it. The staff members were very kind and made sure our table was well taken care of. The restaurant was very clean, but the only other complaint I would have is that there was no A/C on, and the door was left open to allow for airflow, causing a lot of smoke from outside to come into the restaurant (tobacco smell). Otherwise, I was satisfied with everything else. Each dish was full of impactful flavor, and I can understand why SGD has its hype!

The restaurant is very unassuming but we are so happy we visited! We started with the Mediterranean platter and I will absolutely order this again because the whipped feta was amazing. Most entrees come with a salad or soup so we had the Cesar salad with ours. Dishes were perfect. Proteins were perfectly cooked and the lamb seemed very high quality. I also thought the portions were great for the price. The friendly vibe and incredible staff really put the finishing touches on an awesome night. We decided to sit on the patio and it was such a wonder summer night. Definitely make a reservation for weekends as it does seem to get busy.

For brunch we had the smoked brisket hash which comes with two sunny side up eggs and breakfast potatoes and the canoed bacon BLT which also comes with potatoes. Both were excellent and big enough to share. This is my new favorite brunch spot.

It turned out to be too cozy, we were named into their table for two which happened to be right next to the entryway and reception stand. My wife sat the closest to the hallway to the door and was freezing all the evening. The staff hung out at the reception desk attending to their duties on a computer, answering the phone, seating new guests and generally, not intentionally, distracting from our special event. Food was just okay. Maybe we are too particular or not accustomed to Otto's style of cuisine but we will not dine here again.

The vibe here is intimate which is perfect for couples or groups celebrating a special event. There is a cool bar area where you can order fancy libations. As far as the food...everything tasted delicious and was well cooked. We ordered the calamari appetizer and we thought it was a 4/5. I am only docking a point because it was slightly too salty and some of the octopi were slightly overcooked/chewy. We had the soup of the day which was fantastic paired with bread. I ordered the lobster tail with the 6 oz filet mignon and both the lobster and filet were cooked to perfection!! Our sides were mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts which tasted delicious. We also got a little surprise, we got dessert on the house. Overall, a great experience.

Luckily we weren't in a my hurry and had a good chat with our dinner mates. The food is authentically Peruvian so that's very good. I had the ceviche, steak bites and flan combination. My dinner companion had the potatoes, seafood mix, cookies combination. We thought the be dishes were all flavorful and good. One thing we noted is the amount of potatoes on each of our main dish. It was more than the meat portion. We could do with less potatoes. Still a place I would recommend. Not that these are the restaurant week's menu. Will return to try their regular menu.
