I had chickens, she had an salate and suppe. all main courses were delicious! I have always loved chickens and waffels, and these youngs do it right! the chicken is crispy, a tad spicy, but also sweet. the waffel is sweet potato and is more savory. to dessert we had the pineapple cake that left a little to wish. Especially since it was $10. we ate in the other restaurant of chef gaccione in morristown, south pine. the menu is very similar. (almost too similar. I would like to see a certain variety, but please do not take my chickens away) we will definitely try the dinner menu again, as it seems to be very popular later on the day. very excited to see this place in the inner city of madison!

I highly recommend asking what seasonal, new in the menu, or their server favorites. but choose everything, we are superior to try everything. it is totally affordable because it is byob. we brought a $12 bottle of wine then prefer an additional $60 for a bottle in the restaurant and spent these extra savings on delicious apps! we live in nyc and are now and then in jersey for the work and try to make it one of the restaurants of chef leia every time.

The best breakfast of all time! no tables, just to the switch. read more The best breakfast of all time! no tables, just to the switch.
