Great Dane Pub & Brew is a great place to dine

Are you missing the fun time with friends and family, hanging out in a good relaxing view at the same time?

Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. in East Madison is the place to go.

The restaurant has two floors. The first floor, where the bar is located, is always crowded. But if you are looking for a quiet place with a calm view, the second floor is your destination.

I went upstairs to the second floor and sat on one of the booths facing the windows. The view was relaxing.

I am vegetarian, so I ordered a tofu banh mi sandwich. I had never tried tofu before. Surprisingly, it was so delicious.

The vinegar, jalapeno pepper and fresh cilantro make the sandwich taste delicious. The toasted baguette was crispy on the outside and heavenly soft on the inside. With each bite you take, you taste each sandwich layer individually; all the layers together create this sour, spicy and fresh taste that makes you long for another bite.

I ordered the waffles fries included with the cost of the sandwich, which was $13.50, and it was crunchy and soft at the same time with the right amount of salt and these mystery spices that mix with the fries make them taste perfect.

The tofu banh mi sandwich was unique, light and tasty. If you plan to visit

PUB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 the Great Dane restaurant, keep in mind that there are five locations. The one I usually visit is in East Madison. Downtown Madison, Fitchburg, Hilldale and Wausau are the other locations.

The cost of one meal at Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. is between $12 and $20 an entree. The only inconvenient thing is the parking lot. Sometimes I cannot find a place to park my car. But otherwise, it is a delightful place for family and friends to gather.
