“I had a cheeseburger and waffle fries. The burger was good. But the thing to mention is that the ranch dressing was goooood!!! Waffle fries with homemade ranch! Yes!”

“Kid-friendliness: I brought my 2 kids (2 & 6) and they LOVED the fresh made smoothies along with the fresh bakery items! The puzzles/games on the tables also kept their interest while we waited.”

“Couldn't wait to try this place after hearing about it. Our expectations were exceeded! Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. There were six of us and everyone enjoyed their meal. We arrived before the dinner rush on a Saturday night, so we were in an out fairly quickly. Looking forward to visiting again.”

“What an amazing hidden gem ! The selection was great with some tasty beers and wines, little tapa style plates were offered but will wait till the wives are there for that. Great ambiance, great selection the owner was courteous and welcoming. Can’t wait to go again with more friends!”

“Vegetarian options: Not the vegetarian of the group but my friend had multiple vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Google searches showed it to be a place with gluten free options before going but there was only one gluten free dish available (the oat breakfast bowl). So not as gluten friendly as we had been hoping for my friend with the intolerance.”

“Great food and even better specials. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is welcoming! The bar owner is present, hardworking and treats his patrons like Family.Parking: Plenty of street parking in front and a parking lot in back.”

“We are very fortunate to have John Joseph coffee in our community - it’s just the best. Due to health reasons I need to drink half/caf and it’s so nice to be able to choose my favorite grounds to blend rather than big store off the shelf with only one choice. I also love being able to buy fresh coffee at an affordable price.”

“Stopped in last night, to see a couple of former Dells Bar Keeps and on their recommendation to stop in Dustin Lauren Thank you for the Awesome service along with your super knowledge of your 8 page beer menu (wowzers was it really 8 pages? excellent detail describing the beers) and your food menu as well, normally as a 1st time customer I would have been a bit overwhelmed by the extensive beer menu, but a quick couple of questions by me and them, 3 1 ounce samples and they had me honed right in and hit it dead on the spot, at first seeing no head on the beer, I was thinking flat? but no not at all, perfect amount of carbonation in each of the beers that I enjoyed, and I didn't feel "beer full" at allthoroughly enjoyed each of the samples of beer along with the taps I ordered the Trepidation, Bee’s Knees, Sauk Ness Monster, Woodshed and the Dedication Abbey 'Extra' Dubbel, each of them excellent beers with great flavor, depth with the perfect body (loved the names made me laugh a couple of times with the tongue in cheek names)so time for Dinner Dustin's knowledge of the food menu also spot on, I ordered the Bangers and Colcannon, again hesitant to order mashed potatoes at a restaurant, as normally barely edible, not the case here at all, the bangers (we call them brats) had a prefect snap to them with great fresh flavor and the colcannon a mix of mashed potatoes (1st time ever at a restaurant Great Fresh mashed potatoes) and cabbage and then a nice gravy all hit the spot perfectlylooking at the menu, I will have to get back there at least 4 or 5 more times Lauren had recommended the Orange Sesame Ahi Salad which what I was going to order, then switched to the Bangers, sitting at the bar other patrons were ordering the Nachos which look awesome as did the wraps, the mac and cheese and burgers, were all items I will need to get back forprices were reasonable for the quality of the beers, food and the establishment itself, which is a great atmosphere and a great view of the Wisconsin River for those that want to bird watch while enjoying some great beers food and serviceIndoor DiningTasting menusCreative cuisineStylish interiorCosy atmosphereHip atmosphereScenic viewsGreat foodChic décor”

“Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Wish drink prices were listed. All drinks are martinis but they can make other drinks as well. Food menu is new and small. Hopefully in time they offer more. Calamari was good though a little salty and on the small side for the price. Would definitely come back when in town and if menu is expanded.”

“Stopped in for breakfast, French dip, probably one of the better that I've had. Bar tenders are great here, on top of it! Place was packed by 10am on a Saturday.”

“Some of the best fresh quality food is found in this quaint little cafe. I've became addicted to the beast sandwich and the trek out here once every week or two from Madison just to fulfill the craving I get for it is 1000% worth it. It pairs especially well with the homemade tomato soup. Mouth is watering as I'm writing this now thinking about it. Great drink selection/desserts to top it all off and very nice staff”

“I enjoy the Vessel Cafe, I go there for breakfast Wednesday through Friday every week when I'm at home. They have great specials and it is a family friendly place to eat and ”

“We just left from Reyes Mexican Restaurant and it was the absolute best experience! We were looking for somewhere fun to have my birthday lunch with my 3 year old daughter and husband, and came across this place. Our waitress was so sweet and kind with my daughter, bringing her out strawberries while we waited for our food. Then, they surprised us by playing birthday music and bringing out hats for all of us to wear and dessert that was delicious!! We left out of here feeling like we couldn’t have been more lucky to find this restaurant and would love to come back here every time we’re in the area! I got the steak tacos (YUMMY) and my husband got the beef enchiladas (SO GOOD!). Thank you Reyes restaurant for making our day!!”

“Stopped in for the Friday Fish Fry.Very impressed with the food, the batter is light and crispy yet full of flavor. The fries are some of the best I've had in ages. Even the coleslaw was better than most I've had.10 out of 10.Will definitely be back again. Highly highly recommend everyone try this place. You will not be disappointed.”

“Amazing food, service was amazing!! The drinks were wonderful. We went with my family and as soon as we walked in, they treated us like family. The chips and salsas to start were 10/10. The margarita sampler was to die for. I got the burrito, rest of family got quesadillas or the tacos. They all raved about their food as well. Real authentic Mexican food and great price. We will be back. Thank you La Mexicana”

“Hands down the best burgers & fries in town. Probably the best fries I've ever had! Dropped a star because they never answer the phone. Would order out there more often if I could call ahead and pick up.”

“Some of the best pizza in the area- tasty options! Be prepared to wait during their busy times, it can get overcrowded quickly even with outdoor seating. And don't forget to visit with the (2) goats & (2) alpacas just out back- fed them as a family last time we visited and that's always worth a chuckle.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, esp the outside area!”

“Had a fantastic time tonight. The owner and his wife were great. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and the treated her awesome even though the resteraunt isnt kid centric. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The service was excellent. We cannot wait to come back!”

“Great little place! I saw a review that said it was a small place and it is. Summer time patio area definitely helps with that. Service was great. Food was spot on. Burgers were awesome and the smoked gouda bites are a must try. A true gem in the country.”

“A lovely atmosphere with a broad selection of serve-yourself wines by the glass. Choose your size per pour and pay at the end. Other alcoholic and non- drinks are available. Full bottles, too. There is indoor seating, but the outdoor patio on a nice weather day/afternoon/evening is best. Limited food options to munch on while you catch up with friends and enjoy your wine.”

“We drove an hour to see--and dance--to the Dan Lepien band. Great atmosphere! Hats off to the bar/wait staff for outstanding service! The food was great. Loved talking with owner about Army and Army sports. Thank you for your son's service.The only negative for us and others that follow Dan was that you didn't have the band in your dance hall. We and others specifically called ahead to check on a dance floor. That would've made a great night even better for us.”

“What a fun vibe in a great location w/ easy parking! They were playing great jazz tunes which actually sounded ‘live.’ Rita, our waitress was lovely— thank you Rita! All 4 of us enjoyed our drinks (I loved the Honey Martini!), salads & entrees. The special: jerk chicken pasta was perfectly seasoned and the thin crust mushroom pizza was delicious! The special rum cake was to die for!! Keep up the great work and thank you!”

“Been here a few times in the past several months. Shaun and Andrea and their workers are very informative, professional and attentive. I enjoy the flavors, the location is perfect and exactly what I need for a protein shake or tea.”

“Curly’s is the best breakfast from Mt.Horeb to Dodgeville. We go almost every Sunday they serve breakfast and have never had a disappointing meal. We enjoy their special dish and pancakes(my favorite, I get every time) they change each Sunday. The food is never too greasy as bar breakfast can be. This is the only place we have gone to breakfast since we enjoyed it the first time.”

“What an awesome little place! Me and my friends got three of the apple cider doughnut shakes, and they were just amazing! We got three full apple cider donuts, stacked on top of an amazing apple cider, vanilla, ice cream, shake! Super rich, fruity, and just overall delicious. All of the other ice creams are from the chocolate shop here in Madison, they have specialty shakes that are changed every month, and regular shakes, and they are all incredible! There's also all sorts of candies, and products from other small businesses, which is really cool. A little on the pricey side, but overall, I highly recommend!”

“Our absolute favorite place in Dane County! Hosted my fella's 50th birthday party in the outdoor area in May - was absolutely seamless and beyond fun! The ambience, updates, menu, drink selection, specialty pizza nights....all off the charts awesome! Chuck, Kate and the RT crew are attentive, friendly, fun, speedy, welcoming, accommodating......I could go on and on. 11 out of 10 highly recommend!”

“What a beautiful place! Great atmosphere with lovely music and the food was excellent! I had the avocado tomato grilled cheese with chicken noodle soup. Yum! And we tried the truffle fries, delish as well. They have a huge variety of beverages including tons of teas. While waiting for food we browsed the store filled with quality locally made items. I love seeing unique places like this in our small communities.”

“We were there right at 11 am opening and the food was piled in the trays and fresh. Friendly staff. There was a lot to choose from. The peanut chicken is my fave. But all the dishes were tasty and the food was kept warm and filled. Not the first time we have eaten here but the past experiences have been the same.”

“Though I like pets this is a preparation food area , So if you don't care for animals in restaurant this might sway your decision. Three dogs that were there while I was were very well controlled by owners.”

“Busy hot spot for Friday night fish. Great prices and the food is excellent. Boiled, seasoned red potatoes are my go to option. Expect to sit at the bar as the table waits are long or call ahead. Great staff - how two folks in that tiny kitchen turn out so much great food is unreal. I’m hesitant to post the review as the last thing they need is more business on Friday night.”
