Food was mostly excellent, service was sub par and very slow despite not appearing to be very busy. The server recommended one dish, the braised jackfruit which was really tasty but it had these insanely hard bits as a topping that felt like they could break teeth (for sure they were a hazard to any dental work). I'm going to assume they were meant to be crunchy, which would have probably been nice, but these were far beyond edible. I would have mentioned it to my server if they had come and asked how the food was at all.

The drinks were great but I probably wouldn't eat here again. The service was ok, slow but friendly so I didn't mind. I went here trying to find food before going to a concert. I'm not vegan but thought we could try it. I ordered the quessabirria tacos, I love mushrooms and i like tacos so I thought it would be good. Unfortunatly, the tacos did not taste like birria at all- as in the seasonings weren't correct and they were tangy in a wierd way and a little bitter. I've had a lot of tacos in the Madison area and honestly these were the most dissapointing tacos I've ever had- including college campus tacos. On top of that, the tacos were 3 for $17. Most taco places are roughly 3 for $12-$15. If you're going to charge $17 for three tacos, these tacos better be the best tacos around. But they weren't; they were gross. The only other thing i ordered was a french martini which was decent.

I was tempted to write that this was the best vegan food weve had, but I think that would do it a disservice. It really was some of the best food weve had, vegan or not. We had the garden salad (see photo), the yuba salad (see photo), the lobster mushroom pasta dish, and the warm oat cookie with nice cream/berries for dessert. Every dish was beautiful in presentation and had real depth and a variety of flavors. Really delicious. You can tell the food was created by someone who puts so much care, down to the tiny details, to provide an enriching and satisfying culinary experience. I ordered a cocktail I enjoyed very much from an extensive drinks menu, plus it was a nice surprise at the end of the meal to get a complimentary digestif. The service was superb, and the outdoor eating area (Robinia Courtyard) was a beautiful setting for dinner. We will definitely be back! Edited: We dined here again on 3/30/24, indoors this time, and the food and service were wonderful again. We had the Yuba salad (looked a bit different than nearly 2 years ago but was still delicious). I ordered the Lobster Cascarecca Pasta again because it was so good last time, and it didnt disappoint. My boyfriend ordered the Morel & Wild Mustard Pesto Pasta (which was OUTSTANDING). And again, we shared the Cast Iron Trail Cookie dessert which was delicious. We also had a beer and a cocktail, both good, and both reasonably priced. The wait staff was excellent. We love coming here we only do it infrequently because were not often in Madison. Too bad!
