I stopped by The Spot for dinner with a friend last week and was pleasantly surprised! I was a bit skeptical walking over that day because to be honest, I'd never heard of The Spot before.\n\nWe split the artichoke ramekin (thanks to Yelp reviews) and both ended up getting the special that day which was walleye with mashed potatoes and asparagus with gravy. Both were truly delicious! The ramekin came with crostini and rice crackers--I liked both but favored the rice crackers. Normally, I'm the kinda girl who LOVES anything creamy. So when I realized that the artichoke dip, mashed potatoes, and gravy were not creamy, I was surprised at how much I loved it. It was pretty busy for a weekday but our server was kind and prompt and he left nothing to be desired! The pricing is reasonable and this seems like a good place to go for a nice and casual meal. I actually really love the space as it's smaller with dark wood floors and nice booths. It definitely feels homey and relaxed which is an atmosphere I enjoy.\n\nAlso they have a great happy hour: Half Price Taps & Glasses of Wine, and $2 off Specialty Cocktails. The basil gimlet sounded great but I wasn't feeling up for a drink so I had the citrus-basil soda instead, which was sweet and refreshing.\n\nI hadn't heard about The Spot before I went, which is crazy because I live right down the street! I'm sure many other Madison locals might not have either and I HIGHLY recommend that you all check this place out and give it a go. I know I had a really great night, and will definitely be back in the future.
