Case: Just not all that impressive from our POV..... ambiance was cozy, comfortable and welcoming but service and food ... meh .  The prime rib was good... halibut was not that fresh tasting (disappointing since the \""knowledgeable\"" server suggested it). The green chili potato .... hmmm.  Well, if you think an uncooked, crunchy pepper the size of a jalapeno filled with a couple of tablespoons of paprika laden mashed potatoes is divine ... then you would be in the right place .  Me? Not so much.\n\nThe salad was fine - but then again, you really have to suck to screw up a salad.  The kicker was when I ordered a glass of Chardonnay... then the server returned with a Pinot Noir ....  \n\nWe took a couple from out of town who were here on their anniversary.  I told the host when I called to check on the reservation (I made it thru Open Table) and then told the host again when we arrived.  They did absolutely nothing with this information but yet I saw some other table get the special acknowledgement.  What a disappointment, all around.  \n\nWould I go back?  Dunno.... There are many other places here in the valley that we need to experience prior to ever giving these folks our hard-earned casheroo....

Case: My sister, father, his mother-in-law and myself had just left a showing of Wicked at the Smith Center and were looking for a place to have a late lunch/early dinner.  I suggested Brentwood since it's never packed and the food is always good.\n\nWe got there and I was delightfully surprised to discover that they're currenlty retooling the restaurant and bar to accomodate fans of the Texas Longhorns.  Unfortunately, during this retooling session, the bar was a little sloppy.\n\nThe menu was very small, they were limited on drinks and they were streaming the Longhorns game on a slow connection, so it kept freezing up to buffer.\n\nI'll be honest, the only reason I'm giving this place four stars is because despite the remodeoling faults, my food was delicious and I can't wait to see what this place is like when they're settled and everything runs smoothly.

Case: I went for the first time yesterday after a Badgers basketball game.  It was slow - unusual for Madison on a Saturday night, but I guess everyone was still recovering from turkey-itis.\n\nMy dinner was excellent - I had the Southwest Tortellini.  The serving was large enough that I took some home & had lunch.  Mmmmm it was so good :)  I was a little hesitant to eat there, actually, because I was expecting \""bar food,\"" but it's actually a pretty classy restaurant with an excellent menu.\n\nMy boyfriend had the brat/burger/pretzel roll concoction.  It was pretty tough to actually eat, just because it's HUGE - but he expected that when he ordered it.  He liked it, though.  I don't think he was so fond of the baked beans, he mentioned that they were in a tomato sauce?\n\nThe waitress wasn't annoying - it took us a long time to decide what we wanted because there were so many things that looked good, and she wasn't back every five seconds asking if we were ready YET.  She waited til we put down our menus & then she came right over - even though by that time it had begun to get realllllly busy in there.\n\nThe food came out quickly & our drinks were great.  They don't seem to have a huge selection of liquor, and I don't drink beer - but there was enough for me to choose from.  Several of the vodkas that I later saw on the menu weren't displayed on the bar, so I ended up getting one drink when I would've preferred something else, had I known they had it - I wish they'd put ALL their boozes up on the wall ;)\n\nMy boyfriend said the beer was great.\n\nI was really impressed & I'd definitely go back to try out all the other things that looked great on the menu.

Case: I use to go to Dave & Busters all the time and I literally mean all the time.  I've often grab lunch there and hit up their pool tables.  However I haven't been there in years and some of my friends apparently enjoy frequenting the place.\n\nWe decided to go there to hang out for the night and grab some drinks and play some games.  I admit a couple of the games were actually pretty fun, but most of them were really overpriced.  But that's not really what my review is based on.\n\nMy review is based on the bar service specifically.  My friend and I stood at the bar and waited for someone to look at us, acknowledge our existence or at least show you see us.  I've had this happen at plenty of bars and clubs before, I get it that you're busy and even if you see us you have to service those who came first.  I'm pretty okay waiting my turn, however after others were serviced two of the bartenders on our side walked away and started counting receipts and doing other random things.  There were two completely different bartenders that were way on the other side of the bar that looked at us and then looked at their two coworkers with a look on their face as if they wondered if anyone would help us or if they'd get stuck helping us and picking up their lazy coworkers slack.\n\nI felt bad for the other two bartenders as you could see them running around like crazy doing the bulk of the work while the other two did get drinks but seemed to pick and choose who they serviced instead of first come first serve.\n\nI only had 2 drinks and it took me a combined total of 30 minutes to get those two drinks with all the time I stood there.  That doesn't include when I was ready to cash out I had to wait an additional 10 minutes until a bartender that never helped me walked over completely annoyed.  Let me clarify she wasn't annoyed me with, but I could see her eyes burning holes into her coworkers heads.\n\nIt's really hard writing this review because I want to give the games a 3 star review, and I want to give the two bartenders that were doing a bulk of the work good reviews.  I even wanted to catch their names so I could write into the company and let them know how outstanding their two bartenders were and how great they were at carrying their lazier coworkers load on their backs.\n\nIt was so bad that their were receipts all over the counter tops.  They were wet and sticky everywhere.  It wasn't just me and my friend that had to wait forever because people standing next to us were upset at the wait as well, although they somehow received service before us.  I did see a few people move from the side we were on to the other side with the more attentive bartenders.\n\nMy only hope is that management reads this and talks to their employees about team work.  A great man once said, \""Very few burdens in life are heavy if everyone lifts.\""  It should never be a few people carrying the team and really everyone should be pulling together to get the job done.

Case: This is the 2nd yoga studio I have been to, but it's much better than the one I use to go to. Energy and vibe is very positive.\n\nThe practice area is on wood floors, apposed to carpet at my old place. I would say its a different pace of your traditional bikram yoga. I really do feel like I had a hard workout after each session.\n\nThe down side is that the men's shower/changing is small. There is only one shower and one toilet stall, so you have to wait in line for the mens.\n\nBeing a rookie I had to look in the mirror and around to follow around for the poses. I do like the energy here and it's a great place to tryout.

Case: The service was terrible, the food was adequate and we won't be back. There were only a few tables seated but the servers were absent most of the time. It was a horrible experience.

Case: To begin I have never eaten here.  I am talking about the bar area only and it's a great time to say the least.  Very chill crowd and great staff.

Case: Wow, I'm still the only person that doesn't like this place?? I don't get it. What am I missing? Oh I know... FLAVOR. \n\nGave this place a 2nd try and was even more disappointed than the first time. Got a breakfast burrito with eggs, beans, cheese (supposedly), and green chilies. I may as well have had a piece of cardboard. Seriously, NO FLAVOR. I poured their salsa and hot sauce all over it and I barely noticed it (they use the word \""hot\"" very liberally). \n\nPerhaps if I ate meat other than chicken I'd like the food here, but both the chicken burrito I had the first time and the breakfast burrito I had today were tasteless, so 2 strikes and you're out on this one.

Classify the following: Way over priced and 2 out of 4 of the flavors I tried were disgusting. 45 cents an ounce when everwhere else is around 28 cents. The quality of the yogurt was just terrible. Find a Yogurtland or a Uswirl for better price and a better taste.
