text: Pig in a Fur Coat did not live up to my expectations. I had heard SO many good things about the restaurant from Yelp reviews and friends that I expected to be blown away but was sorely disappointed. First, I was not a big fan of the ambience. I didn't enjoy sitting on these tall long tables despite having multiple empty tables where my party of three could be accommodated. It was strange to share the same table with other groups in a half empty restaurant.\n\nSecond, the food was just okay. We had:\n1. Poutine with foie gras, cheese curds, and poutine sauce - I did not enjoy this but members of my party did. It was just fat on fat on carbs so I couldn't handle it. Poutine sauce tastes like mystery sauce, and foie gras was interesting but not my thing. Overall, creative dish but tastes awful.\n\n2. Ravioli with duck egg, bacon, ricotta, brussel sprouts, brown butter. This is such a letdown. Duck egg tastes very similar to chicken egg especially covered in so much sauce. Bacon is one measly thin piece but probably my favorite part of the dish. Everyone in my party didn't like this dish and thought it wasn't worth the price although very well-presented.\n\n3. Pork belly - I thought this was most worth the hype and price. I loved the pork but was grossed out by the pork intestines. My party LOVED this dish though! It's creative in Madison context but seems like pretty typical Asian dish.\n\n\n4. Sicilian Sfingi with chocolate, orange - MY FAVORITE dish by far!! I usually don't like dessert, but this one is a perfect fluffy round ball of chocolate mixed with just a hint of orange flavor. Yummy! I would go to Pig in a Fur Coat JUST FOR THIS! \n\nWe also each ordered wine and loved all of our wine choices. Maybe I set the bar too high or ordered the wrong dishes. I'd love to give it a second chance maybe with people who've been here before and can decide on better menu items.
