My boyfriend and I went Monday evening for dinner.  The decor is nice and the seating is comfortable.  A hostess seated us immediately.  The server, however, seemed scatterbrained.  Although menus were delivered, she did not pour us water or offer to take our drink orders before coming by to take our food order.  Her question to us:  \""Oh, did I not get your drinks?  Did you want any?\""\n\nNo.  Thanks.\n\nWe shared an order of Poutine which was serviceable but nothing stellar.  The Poutine is covered with onion gravy which presumably is used with the bangers & mash.  Poutine traditionally uses a rich brown gravy, which this was not.\n\nI ordered the kale salad with cranberries, walnuts, parmesan, etc.  BF ordered the fish with slaw.  The fish was in shapes that were too perfect to be fresh.  I immediately thought that the fish must come off the back of a food truck.  We agreed the slaw was nasty.  Neither of us could identify what the seasoning was, but it was pretty awful.\n\nThe kale salad, although large and the kale a beautiful green, was undressed.  Thankfully the ingredients were tasty enough that it really did not need dressing, and without having been coated in dressing the leftovers were fresh the next day.\n\nWe didn't try any beer but the beer list was impressive.  I cannot comment on the serving temperature, glassware, etc., to tell you if they serve it well.\n\nWith so many new restaurants opening all the time in the Madison area, I doubt we will return to the Flying Hound for another meal.
