    we loooove a good tasting menu + wine pairing! delectable offers fine dining on fridays and…read moresaturday nights & cooking classes during the week! not quite as intimate of a dining experience as nook but is along the same line. we got a reservation at the bar a week before so doesn't seem overly difficult to obtain. the menu switches up about 4x a year depending on the season. the chef and sommelier here did an excellent job introducing each dish/drink, and the wine pairings were chosen well!!! I love that you can see them prepare each of the dishes on the screens by the kitchen. excellent service as well, staff did a great job at taking away dirty plates/glasses and replacing accordingly. I also thought each round was spaced out well so that I was never waiting for too long or had too little time to eat. There was a blindfold round where we had to rely on just taste & touch to figure out what we were eating which was both silly and fun (we found out what we were eating at the end and got some more as a gift to go). my personal fav of the meal was the sun meadow chilean sea bass!!! the sun meadow oil is a perfect dupe of butter and melted straight into that sea bass, paired with crunchy capers on a bed of creamy whipped goodness. All of the sauces were done extraordinarily well, especially that under the braised leeks!!! the tuna tartare was my bf's fav - crunchy toppings with fresh tuna on avocado in a spicy, asian inspired sauce. we were less impressed by the raviolo and steak entrees but still good (the chili oil on the raviolo kinda threw me off). the intermission was nice as a brief break to shop around and purchase things at a discount. overall, pricy meal but definitely a whole experience (3 hours long that is!). would highly recommend trying this out if you also enjoy fine dining experiences. I personally wanna come back to try their wednesday night burgers soon!!

    I visited DelecTable in Madison for a multicourse chef's tasting experience. The restaurant leans…read moreheavily into the idea of dining as an experience, leaning into the European way of dining - that is, you have the table for the night." Think dining as the entertainment and the social experience, not shoveling it in and table turnover for tips. With creative presentations, themed courses, and a strong emphasis on sensory elements, the team puts a lot of thought and passion into crafting something unique. The multicourse meal offered a wide range of flavors and techniques--some dishes were genuinely impressive, others more about the concept than the taste. The pacing was smooth, and the staff was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in making the night feel special. It's the kind of place where you sit back and let the experience unfold. That said, for me, it landed in the category of "worth doing once." The evening was fun and distinctive, but more of a special-occasion outing than a spot I'd return to regularly. If you enjoy immersive dining or want something out of the ordinary, it's definitely worth trying at least once.

We reserved our table online and were able to confirm ahead of time that they were able to accommodate a gluten free diet for one of us at our table. This place is massive, they can seat up to 700 people (and feed that many also. The menu is fixed, and they bring out your food in buckets and your soup in a gravy tray. It's kind of hilarious). We saw the Wild West show about how the Dells was made and it was pretty entertaining. Lots of singing and dancing and they even had a talent show with dogs and goats. This place is very family friendly, but it's also fun for adults. One of their cocktails has a 'stick of dynamite' in it and another is topped with cotton candy. This place is fun to go to and certainly one of a kind. If you haven't gone to it at least once, give it a try. Throughout the year they have other shows and even concerts that look interesting,

I have to admit that the Christmas Show kind of surprised me. I was expecting maybe a bit of a sappy variety performance, but I thought the performers were really good, and so was the show! Very entertaining! Live animals, great singing and had a lot of Christmas spirt. The Rat Pack was a special show, part of the concert series they book on the "dark" nights when the main show is off. Once again, the entertainers were very good and the show was fun and enjoyable. The food, well that could be better, but it was on par with what I expected. The Christmas Show included an all you eat holiday meal with all the fixings. The Rat Pack was Chicken and Pasta. Drinks were expensive, many were the type that you get to keep the plastic glass it came in. Servers worked hard and fast and they were very friendly. I think that if you pick a show that you are interested in, you won't be let down with the quality of the entertainment at Legacy Theater. I enjoyed my two times that I have been here and will always be looking at the schedule for chances to come back in the future. Fun!

I was told (and saw on the reviews) that the food was not up to par, but I wasn't that let down by the food either. Sure it wasn't spectacular, but I thought it was passable. The food was a basic Christmas meal. Soup Appetizer, Turkey, Ham, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and also Mac and Cheese. I thought the Turkey, Green Beans and Potatoes were the best part. The hour and 15 minute show started with a bang with a floating violinist and closed with a live Nativity. Singers and Dancers were all very talented. My favorite part (or song) was the 12 Days of Christmas mash up. That was really clever. Maybe, if I did have a let down it would be the price of the drinks... that was pretty outrageous. A specialty drink and an old fashion was about $50. And my wife's drink wasn't even very good. But she got to keep the plastic boot glass it came it! (Eye Roll) I highly recommend this show. Really brought the Christmas spirit! Well worth the price and a fun Holliday treat. Skip the drinks, but enjoy the show!

For the Christmas show we had vegetable soup, ham, Turkey, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, Mac and cheese, cranberries and green beans. The Turkey was dry, the gravy salty, the ham was not recognizable as ham (both in color and flavor), and though the Mac and cheese was the best of the options, it was so gummy it stuck to the roofs of our mouths like a communion wafer! It was awful. The good thing, it was served warm. For dessert we could pick pie or brownie. We got the brownie and didn't finish it. It was like dead weight, almost like they forgot an ingredient. We also did try 2 of their specialty drinks. They did taste good. The price however at $17/hr was not worth it. Almost $40 for 2 drinks! Nothing about this experience was "Merry"!

While there my son and I got popcorn, a soda, and a bottle of water. Matinee pricing isn't bad compared to bigger chain theaters. My ticket was $10 and he was $8 since he counts for child prices. The popcorn was expensive at $9 for a medium-ish size bag (even with a free refill) compared to larger buckets at other theaters and we didn't care for the flavor of the "butter". The soda was $7, which was also pricey. Unfortunately they only offer one size for both the popcorn and soda and don't give you a discount for buying both as a combo. They have other food like pizza and chicken tenders on the menu board, but no prices were listed. I know people love the leather recliners at other theaters, but the loveseats at Rosebud Cinema are preferable as far as I'm concerned. We sunk into the plush loveseat and it was far more comfortable than a hard leather recliner. Each loveseat had a decent size pillow to lean on too. It's not the most conveniently located theater based on where I live, but the decent prices and comfortable seating will probably bring me back.
