Licari's Bar Grill - Madison

Contact John Taffer; the bearded bar manager believes he owns the place and has a terrible attitude. There are significant issues among the staff, but this location has great potential. It would be best to let the entire staff go and do a complete remodel.

UPDATE: Still love this place!!! Called on a snowy Thursday night around 9:15pmbto see if they were still serving food (we'd just come from seeing the Harlem Globetrotters at the coliseum) and Adam said they'd keep the grill going for a bit. We cruised over and had a lovely late dinner with them, complete with cocktails. Service and food were both great--we love Licari's and will definitely be back plenty of times in the coming months!!! ____________________ Love this place!!! Food is always terrific, as are the drinks, and prices are reasonable. Their fish, burgers, cheese curds, and old fashioneds are particularly wonderful--tons of bacon on their burgers! Atmosphere is cozy, and they have a fantastic outdoor patio. They always give you a peppermint patty for dessert with your meal--nice touch!

I just returned from lunch at Licari's, and I must say, the food was incredible! I ordered the spicy burger topped with bacon, along with truffle fries, while my husband chose the cod. Every dish was delicious! The waitstaff was friendly and truly outstanding. We will definitely be returning for another visit!
