While I loved the ambiance of the stately venue, my meal was a disappointment. The University Club…read moreis situated in a stunning, century old, Tudor revival mansion with views of Lake Mendota and the Memorial Union. I dropped by for lunch recently and ordered the $9 Cauliflower Chickpea Quinoa Sandwich (a seared cauliflower, chickpea and quinoa patty with provolone, sun dried tomato pesto on a griddled sourdough roll) with a side of over salted sweet potato fries. The patty had a bitter taste from being slightly burnt and was overwhelmed flavor-wise by the potent sun-dried tomatoes. While my server was fantastic, the pace of the meal moved along at a crawl, probably due to a large banquet being hosted that day. While I enjoyed the novelty of visiting the venue, the food will keep me from making repeated visits.

Univeristy Club was that elusive building on campus I never got to go in as an undergraduate. After…read moremy friends' recent wedding reception here, that all changed. The building itself is gorgeous. The brick on the outside becomes white walls with exposed wood paneling on the inside. It was a beautiful venue to celebrate the love of my beautiful friend and her wonderful now-husband. However, it was horribly hot inside. The bridal party was sweating uncomfortably, as were the guests. Granted, it's an older building, so I don't know if it has central air or not, but it was blistering hot. The food, however, was only lukewarm when it was served. The staff, however, seemed wonderful, and overall, I thought it was a lovely location for a wedding reception.

A shorter review since I was just here on a random Monday evening meeting up some co-workers who…read moreI'd never met in person before. The tiki bar didn't seem to be open, but since I was driving anyway and we had a long day of meetings the next day I didn't miss it. Since I'm coming from Illinois I had to get the requisite Spotted Cow. A fly took a swim in my colleague's beer who was really looking forward to it after a long day of travel, and they were nice enough to give her a fresh one. I also got a freshly grilled brat and some chips for just $6 which feels like a steal these days. Overall a nice place to chill with a great view of the lake and can see why it might be a popular spot for events.

I have been here twice so far to attend Story Hour: the Improv Musical, on Sunday mornings, only $6 per person for a fantastic live children's improv theatre performance!! The actors and musicians include the children in the audience to create a story based on that week's selected children's book then act and sing for an hour. The music is great! The actors are so talented and funny! I can't wait to return and catch some other events or take a class. Super beautiful and welcoming space with gorgeous art by local artists for sale!!

AMBIANCE: We visited in early December, so the space was absolutely decked out in holiday decorations. Even without the holiday decor, the space shines - eclectic wallpaper and colorful decor, unique furniture and lighting that makes for a truly special atmosphere. SERVICE: We had a reservation in the Clementine, and our member friend was greeted by name before we even got to the check-in desk. We had friendly, attentive service throughout our meal! FOOD: The Clementine menu offers classics you can expect to see year-round, as well as rotating classics. Of course, the seasonal offerings caught my eye! Tip: You can get some of the items they offer in the more casual bar in the basement up here! We ordered their famous cheese curds from that menu for starter. We split a wedge salad which was delicious and crisp. For dinner, I ordered the Elk Osso Buco and it was divine. Slow roasted to perfection and falling off the bone, unique vanilla parsnip puree, and delicious coffee roasted carrots complimented perfectly. Others in my party ordered the filet steak which was cooked to perfection, and the Apple Cider Glazed Pork Belly - which was maybe our favorite of the night with its bright Asian-inspired flavors and kohlrabi pear slaw. We were really indulging, so ended with creme brulee and the dark chocolate banana mousse dome. Both, again delicious. Top-notch fine dining experience here - I loved every bite!
