The Wise Restaurant Bar Red - Madison

It really isn't a restaurant per say. It was very loud with men playing baskets.

Salmon was excellent, service was great I will definitely go again!

It is always a treat to have a cocktail and a meal at the wise. Small setting, never too loud and quality is their #1 goal-from breakfast to dinner. Fun drink and appetizer selection make it a unique spot-even if you aren’t staying the night in the hotel. Enjoy!

We went for the Mothers' Day Brunch. When we arrived, it was not clear where we were to be seated and it took some minutes to find out. This brunch was a buffet and cost $20.00 which seemed a bit high. The food overall was very good but no labels on anything. There was excellent salmon and the eggs and french toast were fine. The main issue seemed to be service organization although our waitress was very good and attentive. I have been here for regular breakfast and thought that was very good and the prices were quite reasonable.

We were staying at the hotel, and decided to check out its restaurant bad idea! Although I was looking forward to a fish fry that evening, the rest of the people in my party weren 't pleased that they were piloting their first ever fish fry centric menu for dinner that night (no burgers or other usual entrees available . There were probably 3 5 other tables of 2 4 people in the restaurant, so not busy at all. We waited approximately 15 minutes to order drinks, then another 15 minutes to receive them. The drinks were mixed poorly the Jack old fashioned 's tasted much too sweet, and the tito 's mixers we ordered were very weak. Server was not able to answer questions about the fish menu, and from the time we ordered our meals (which were all items that take under 5 minutes to cook it took approximately 55 minutes. Also, no lemon wedges and those who ordered fried shrimp received tartar sauce and no cocktail sauce. They didn 't have any, so the server indicated they would make some. 10 minutes later, she indicated they did not have the ingredients (isn 't it just ketchup, horseradish and worchestershire? so someone ran out to buy a bottle. Another 10 minutes later, and after my friend waited to receive it, she indicated it was not coming. We asked for our checks, everyone received incorrect checks, and at that point, we asked for compensation for the 2.5 hour QUICK DINNER we were going to have at the hotel restaurant, and they begrudgingly offered us each 1 free drink coupon. They need to get their act together. It is not on par with the level of hotel that it is. By the way, if you 're going to have a fish night, you should definitely make sure you have all the necessary ingredients to do it right, and staff that has tasted the items and can make recommendations.
