Comments on: Sardine Satisfies – Restaurant Review http://www.madisondining.com/sardine/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:35:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Pietro http://www.madisondining.com/sardine/comment-page-1/#comment-452 Pietro Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:15:45 +0000 http://madisondining.com/?p=130#comment-452 A grand destination for either a group or a romantic night on the town. Every dish that I have either ordered or graciously offered from another has been perfectly prepared and cooked to perfection. I find it hard to not order the skate wing as it has become an entree that is hard to forget. Seared perfectly and served with that delicate caper sauce! The only gripe, and it really comes down to me being a snob, was a picollo frito served with a saffron aioli. My feeling would be to use a different oil for the emulsion as the oil used left a lingering aftertaste that stole the show from the saffron. A little side note to Bill H. III. No offense to you Sir but with so many amazing choices why one would go with a "supper club" standard of Prime rib. I am assuming that with your knowledge of Steak Au Poivre your palate would be a skosh more adventurous. A grand destination for either a group or a romantic night on the town.

However: The Prime Rib (by Wisconsin steak standards) is scant. And I don't care if you do call them "frites." Half a plate of fries and a petite steak that will cook to medium before your drink arrives doesn't work. My thought would be to turn out this dish as a slightly thicker steak served au poivre, cooked medium, with a single baked pomme-de-terre. Add a little whipped butter, fresh chive, with some roasted garlic on the side, and see how that sells. I know I'd buy it! My friend had the Grilled Salmon. Spectacular! Don't change a thing. The warm duck confit salad is the next thing I want to try. It hasn't seen a bad word anywhere, and it's certainly on my list for next time! There's my $0.02 worth. All in all, a good time. Just work the work the steak for me a little, ok? I did enjoy Sardine, as did my companion. The bar staff knows their craft well. Impeccable Old Fashionds.

The food was very good. I had the porkchop dinner. Best porkchop I've ever had. My friend had the pasta with duck and that was excellent! Service was great. I will be going back. Excellent deserts! I highly recommend trying this place. Call for reservations. I really enjoyed eating at Sardines very much. The food was very good. I had the porkchop dinner. Best porkchop I’ve ever had.
