If you haven’t been to the Smoking Goat restaurant and you want some unbelievable French food and a great experience with service this is the spot. I’ve been there multiple times and truly can’t wait to go back. There’s nothing I have tried that I would not order again.

The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.
