Mad Hatter's has always been "pretty good" in my book but not spectacular. Most of their food is average. The noodle bowl is below average. The salads are alright. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The desserts are better than average but not outstanding.
They make their cakes and icings with shortening (not butter) and you can taste that - it leaves a slimy coating in your mouth. Once you have a cake made with real butter (hard to find these days), you'll know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I still eat the cakes and cookies from here sometimes, I've just had much better.
