The temperature time spent there was uncomfortable and stifling. From beginning to end, the experience was lackluster. I requested a booth in our reservation--we were seated at a high top. It wasn 't until walking to the restroom several minutes later, I saw the back end had 4-5 open booths. Service was decent--had to request some items multiple times--cream for the coffee, condiments for the meal. My husband got the the traditional bennie and I had the take a shower. I was very surprised that an establishment in Wisconsin only had 2 kinds of cheese (Swiss, American. Not even the most popular options for the state) so I opted out. Food was decent, minus the eggs being over cooked.

This afternoon my love and I went to get lunch at Fool's Errand after we heard they would be closing permanently at the end of the month. This was actually the first time we were here that it was actually packed. I've tried almost everything on the brunch menu and a good potion of the dinner menu and I have t had one thing I didn't LOVE. Sadly we hadnt heard of this place until a a few mo ths ago when a good friend of mine posted her lunch on facebook. I took one look at the pictured cocktails and deviled eggs toast and we went the very next day. We have come together as a two top many times here and always had such a lovely experience. Once we came for brunch and came back a couple hours later with an eight top and relieved impeccable service. Even with one our guests being slightly annoying/obnoxious, the entire staff was patient and friend and vibes with us. I was actually mad that we were the only table in the joint thay night because I knew what was coming. I knew then I should make everyone at the table rate it five stars but I was honestly having such a good time with my friends and the staff that I didn't think about my phone much. Their cocktails are so perfectly made that you don't realize how strong they are until you need to get up for the bathroom or to leave. The decor is amazing (I'm a crazy plant lady) the art is SO cute. One of the servers said the location might have been a contribution to their untimely closing, which I guess I understand but even with the less than desirable location (parking is rough downtown and it is accessed through a shared lobby area so you have to walk through a few doors to actually get Into the restaurant) but I would pay for parking, walk six blocks, go through a hundred doors and climb ten flights of stairs to be able to bring all my friends back here again to experience these drinks, service, and food. RIP FOOL'S ERRAND we will be back before you close officially thank you for the last couple months of guaranteeing an amazing dining experience and dealing with our occassionally rambunctious parties with ease.

The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. You can really tell that the dishes are carefully crafted with attention to detail. read more The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. You can really tell that the dishes are carefully crafted with attention to detail.
