MADISON EATS | RESTAURANT WEEK AT ELDORADO GRILL
1/29/2015
Last week, Oliver and I dined out for Restaurant Week here in Madison. I've been wanting to try all the restaurants in our Williamson Street neighborhood and Eldorado is just on the next block from us, so we happily settled on that.
The food was excellent and the company even better. We found that we didn't want to go home afterward, so we set out into the night visiting a number of our favorite pubs downtown. There are big changes in store for us in 2015, so we were feeling particularly nostalgic and celebratory. I'm sure I'll be sharing the news here on my blog very soon, but we've had to keep things quiet for a while now.
