I did the Monona Terrace tour in the middle of a 3 day Frank Lloyd Wright themed trip to Wisconsin…read more While the tour was interesting it was a bit underwhelming compared to my tours of Taliesin, Unitarian Meeting House and SC Johnson administration building and Research Tower. The tour is reasonably priced, although I did end up paying $6 for parking at Monoma Terrace. Check-in for the tour is in the gift shop which is nicely set up with a nice selection of Frank Lloyd Wright items, Madison items and some other items. I ended up as the only one on my tour so I got a very nice one on one experience. My tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and personable. I did get a nice tour through the various parts of the Community and Convention Center; they were setting up for a number of college graduations. The center has a wide variety of rooms and areas, including a great plaza and garden on the roof. The center takes advantage of its lake front location and in true Wright fashion it brings the outside into the building in interesting and effective ways. Monona Terrace went through a number of designs and intended purposes during Frank Lloyd Wright's lifetime, unfortunately it was not built until well after his death so while the outside follows closely to Wright's designs the interior was revised by members of the Taliesin Fellowship, the result is a very nice building and one that seems to work very well, but it seems to be missing a bit of the Frank Lloyd Wright magic and wow factor. There are a couple of places where there is a bit of that sparkle, but as a Frank Lloyd Wright tour it falls a bit short for me. If you are a Frank Lloyd Wright completist or have some extra time Monona Terrace is worth a visit, but if you are planning a trip for the Frank Llyod Wright Wisconsin trail and need to prioritize other site might be worth considering.

It has been six years since my last review and we have now had many chances to attend events at…read morethis venue with great views of the lake. We have been regular attendees of free music events on the roof in summer which are great fun. We have been to many different markets, trade shows and cheese competitions and we have even done their tour of the facility. Most have been free. That alone would rate 4.5 stars. The big downsize is the crummy parking garage which is dark and dirty and hard to navigate. It feels unsafe at night. It is difficult to figure out if it is in the midst of a renovation but it certainly needs a major one. Given this deficit I have downgraded this facility to an overall 4 star rating.

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 purchased a few items because of so many super cute options (it was so hard to choose!) and with…read morethe help of a yelp coupon, I couldn't help but splurge a little bit. The first couple projects we completed were the string art kits. The curbside pickup was seamless and the staff was super friendly! I got home to find the wrong color board but the issue was addressed promptly and Revel went above and beyond to make sure their customers were happy! Picking up a new board couldn't have been easier. Also, when I was at the end of my project and about 15 nails short, they were gracious enough to mail them out to me so I didn't have to drive from Milwaukee to Madison. The customer service here is phenomenal and really made me feel like they cared about their customers. I will be the first to say that I'm not a crafty person but the "Love" design was one I was willing to put forth the effort for and I'm so glad I did. Hammering all those little nails took a little more time than I expected and I'm glad this was a project for home so I could work on it as time allowed. Our next project is the etched coasters and can't wait to see how those turn out. I look forward to being able to visit Revel during "normal" times and take advantage of their workshops and events. Thank you Revel for the at-home crafting experience and thanks to Yelp for the sweet savings! :)

Each person could choose their own crafts and get the supplies they'd like. They have several different thinks to choose from including a decorative tray, a beer carrier, a picture, glitter art, jewelry, etc. They also have a glitter and sequin bar, a yarn bar, and construction paper area to choose your decorations from. They have a bar area to order drinks or snacks from. You are also able to bring your own food in to snack on. There are instructors there to help you if you want any assistance with any craft. Overall, it was such a fun experience! Great for a girls night or for anyone who likes to craft and socialize. I would highly recommend booking an event at Revel!! :)

They allow you to bring your own food and alcohol which is rare among venues in our area and they have a ton of amenities, including an AV system, table cloth rental, an outdoor fire pit, and a ton of beautiful outdoor spaces for photographs. They were also much more affordable than every other venue we looked at in our area.

This was my first show at The Sylvee. I had heard a lot about it, but I finally got to see what it…read morewas all about. And OH, I was not disappointed! I got to see the Static-X/Sevendust/Dope show, and fortunate to enjoy it from one of the few suites (far from the mosh pit!) that line the perimeter of the viewing area. The location: If you love downtown, this is a great location. If you fear downtown Madison, well, sorry. The good news is you can find decent (or free) parking nearby without getting lost in the mess of one way streets and chaos. The better news is that there's no shortage of places for your "pregame" efforts, whether you are looking for dinner or just a cocktail. The venue: The Sylvee is clean and tidy. You can tell it was built for the best concert-going experience. Plenty of room to move about, good bathroom situation, and numerous places to find a beverage. Up by the suites? Even better, with a special bar and bathroom situation just for them. And the bars have a great selection of craft/local beers. Overall the technology in the venue is great. The sound is excellent, and the lighting is on point. I know a lot has to do with the act that is in town, but Sylvee seems to have what they need to put on a good show. Now, you won't find Aerosmith or KISS coming by to do a show here, but you can find some pretty sizable acts performing here. If you find a show in town that really trips your trigger - and it's at The Sylvee... book it! You won't be sorry.

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!
