Heard some good things about the Mad Hatter so decided to take my date out for brunch on a beautiful Friday morning. Made reservations and were taken right away by our hostess. However, if you want a little privacy ask to be seated outside in the patio area which is screened in and has a nice view of the garden area. Our initial seats inside were cramped and within six inches of the table next to us. The restaurant is located in a large Victorian type house so the rooms are relatively small so most of the tables are on top of each other. The food was very good and well presented. I had a plate of their chicken and waffles. Chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Waffles were very large and tasted great. Had one small cup of syrup and my suggestion would be to place bottles of syrup on tables to allow those to choose how much or how little they would use with a couple of varieties. My date had a green goddess sandwich with turkey plus combination of sweet potato and regular French fries which she enjoyed. Only small complaint is they don't have any ranch dressing as most other eating establishments carry. Option of aoli was good but not exactly what she wanted. This place is very busy and seems to be a destination for many tea parties. Service was good and pricing competitive with other places in the area. A very nice stay at the Mad Hatter and definitely would come back again.
Very unique place with some history behind it. Great spot right near the banks of the Mississippi. Check it out, especially when the weather is nice and can sit outside!
