The clam chowder was creamy, moderately spiced, and spiked with enough clam bits to earn its name. It includes a wide array of appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers, pizza, and platters - steaks, barbecued ribs, seafood, pork chops and roast chicken.Ī companion and I dropped in for downstairs lunch one Monday, and came away happy. There is only one menu, for downstairs and up, for lunch and dinner, for every day of the week. (Don't worry - the windows are fitted with motorized sunscreens.) In addition to the usual comfortable tables, the east wall is lined with elevated half-circle booths, affording all patrons unobstructed views through the floor-to-ceiling west windows to the sweeping vistas beyond. Decorative accoutrements include Badger sports photos and a mural salute to Las Vegas. (You can even watch the Brewers while you wash your hands in the men's room.) The downstairs space is expansive, with high ceilings, lots of dark wood, large windows, and comfortable seating. If you like giant, flat-screen televisions, you'll love the informal downstairs, which has, at my count, nine of them. It's open seven days a week and even has a Sunday brunch. Some of it's good, some other things need a little attention. As the only restaurant in the commons to date, Cloud 9 seems to have something for everyone, from burgers and Miller Lite downstairs in the sports bar, to filet mignon and Dom Perignon upstairs in the formal Sunset Room. It's perched on a high point of land, affording sweeping views westward, clear to the State Capitol and beyond. May it win many awards.īut we're here to talk about Cloud 9, the new restaurant that serves Grandview Commons and the larger area. European-style townhouses, affordable starter homes, a verdant village green, pocket parks, lots of trees. Garages intelligently placed behind the houses, fronting alleys.
What a revelation! Tidy homes with real front porches. My visit to the Cloud 9 Grille was my first exposure to Grandview Commons, the sparkling new Veridian Homes subdivision on Madison's far east side.
