Comment: It’s been a few years since I’ve been to the Villa Tap for dinner - I usually just go for lunch since it’s easier. Dinner at the Villa is a bit of a different animal with a recommended “tee time” and a lot more people to deal with.

We had a group of eight this Friday and arrived for our round at 4pm. It wasn’t too busy that early so we grabbed a drink and a big booth in the back. It took a bit longer to get our perch than we expected but once it came it was excellent as usual.

There were six fillets on this plate and each was 100% real deal lake perch. Chico’s perch is simply the best around and made ever better by the thick and potent tartar. Plenty of freezer fries made a lavish setting for the fish and were perfectly fried as per usual.

The dinner roll is a bit above average as is the slaw but neither of which blow your doors off. They do their job, nuff said.

The Villa Tap boasts one of the best Fish Frys in all of Madison and while we waited longer than we expected for it, I’d do it again any day of the week. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and only just realized they have one of our articles on the wall. Wow. Call me Mr. Oblivious, I guess.
