Mado has gotten good reviews. It has the “think global, eat local” philosophy that we’re all meant to be embracing. I’m happy to do it if the food tastes good but it didn’t, at least on the night we went. Our food was under-salted. The polpette with black-eyed peas did not need so many peas and would have been better with some pasta or polenta. I asked about a vegetarian entree since none was listed and was told it wasn’t my lucky night. If you want to be seasonal and responsive to the seasons why not also be a little responsive to the clientele? The oranges on the yogurt sponge cake were local. We could tell because they were tart and out of season Wisconsin oranges rather than sweet ones flown in from Florida. The cake was good so we ended on a positive note.
