Food Scene

The drinks are so good!
My favorite restaurant in Madison. It's beautiful, has delicious food and great drinks and a view of the lake. I recommend sitting at the bar for their happy hour and/or bar menu, especially if you are trying to stick to a budget!

Great grocery store that is a better shopping experience than Woodman's. There is a coffee and juice/smoothie bar in it and I think they have a bloody mary bar during football games (I think!).
