Hubbard Avenue Diner

Reviewed By Morris-Madison - Madison, Wisconsin

I liked having breakfast today at the Hubbard Avenue Diner. The eggs over easy, hash browns and whole wheat toast were pleasing, with subtle tastes and flavors that took then past this 'standard' fare. I am rewarded by such flavorful dishes every time. The staff was attentive, and pleasant. The diner shows signs of good management. Sitting at the counter, I was impressed by the the coffee machine section (picture taken). Clean and orderly. The coffee was flavorful; I finished the pot. On my next trip, I will order the French Silk pie (made by Jason, the Pie Guy).

usually skeptical about chain restaurants. This mid west restaurant chain is one of those restaurants that debunked that perception. Good Choice of Dinner Menu obviously good steaks. Service was great. Only weakness at this restaurant is, very limited or weak selection of wines. Surprisingly Spirits...MoreSKU - Thank you for joining us at Johnny's Italian Steakhouse Middleton. We appreciate the review you gave us. We hope you will join us again soon.

Bloom Bake Shop

Reviewed By w0rkt0travel - Dairyland, USA

Whenever I make it to this side of town I make a stop at Bloom. Today, I chose a sugar cookie that was literally awful. It tasted just like raw flour. The cookie was adorable and a decent consistency, but I almost wonder if someone forgot an/ingredient(s). It was inedible. I will be sure to write another review if they are redeemed in the future. It was so bad I considered calling and telling them to try one.

Villa Dolce

Reviewed By donw68

No specials because the chef hadn't shown up yet? (5:00) Appetizers had capers on top but they were out of capers? Should have told us - we might have ordered something else. Other app was just ok.

Entrees and pizza were very good. Service (waitress) also very good.

Vin Santo

Reviewed By _L_Z_WI - Wisconsin

If you are into local, small places to be adventurous, wander in. It is quaint, only a few seats in the bar and a dozen tables or so. Scratch Italian food with excellent portions. The standards are amazing, but the chef specials are always a treat. Wine selection is small, but if you like Italian wine, satisfying. I do recommend trying the name sake Vin Santo for dessert wine. Lovely with biscotti. Make a reservation. Give yourself time to savor. It can be reserved for larger parties and the service and food is still excellent.

Louisianne's Etc

Reviewed By Jannaqq - milwaukee, wisconsin

I dined at Louisianne's at the suggestion of my brother about 25 years ago. Somehow remember sitting at street level at the time; now just the downstairs. Somehow didn't mid the total lack of windows. Enjoyed the cozy environs, jazz piano from the bar accompanying our delicious meal. Menu hasn't changed very much. Service was good and not overly attentive. She enjoyed the Lemon Pesto Shrimp and Scallops--generous amount of protein. I enjoyed the blackened catfish; the lemon butter sauce was a pleasant dipper for tender, flavorful fish. It's only a 10-minute drive. Will be back.

Had a wonderful lunch on a Friday. Tuscan chicken sandwhich was awesome. Friends have beef sandwhich and an egg breakfast platter with Albanian sausage. Both thought food was terrific. Albanian wedding soup was very good. Very reasonably priced. Clean restaurant and very friendly staff. I will be back!

C's Restaurant Bakery & Coffee

Reviewed By LadyLe1gh - Holmen, Wisconsin

I am usually not a big breakfast eater, but my husband is. We were in town for the Art Fair on the Square and decided to try C's. The cranberry bread French toast and C's hash browns-fantastic! The cherry turnover was the best I ever had. My husband had the cream filled Bismarck and shared a bite. Delish! Now I crave breakfast as C's but am hours away. I will surely visit the next time I am in Middleton.
