What Went Wrong at Robinia Courtyard?

Robinia Courtyard has been a staple of the East Washington corridor since it opened on the 800 block in 2015. It’s gone through many iterations since joining the scene but most recently consisted of Black Locust Café, Madison Tap, and Jardin. The outdoor space was a hub for community events and one of the few spots in Madison that still served a late-night crowd. That is, until the restaurant group closed its doors this year. Cap Times food editor Lindsay Christians dug into what happened (captimes.com/f...) that led to Robinia’s demise and what’s (potentially) next for the spot. Host Bianca Martin talked to Linsday about her reporting.
Join us every Thursday as we explore Madison's food culture, from the brewers and bakers to the chefs and cheesemakers.
