“Wonderful experience for dinner at Salvatore’s, E Wash & Livingston, Madison, WI.Crispy Calabrese Tofu was exquisite. Pizza great! Manda’s service was above and beyond. She was great with my 7 year old granddaughter!Vegetarian options: Crispy Calabrese Tofu exquisite!“
“Amazing experience! Love this restaurant, food is tasty and good portions, service is great, everyone really looking to make this a wonderful experience. They are very cautious about food allergies, and have many GF options, including bread.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options, and the servers are very knowledgeable to provide additional information about what dishes are ok and which ones could be modified.“
“I would call this an upscale dive bar. Essentially a traditional bar environment with amazing food. Limited menu but delicious. Nothing fancy about the atmosphere and every staff member was super. Definitely stop in your way through. If we were local we'd probably be regulars.“
“RED on W. Washington in Madison is a fun place for delicious food and drinks. The restaurant has a very cool big city vibe. We didn't have reservations but they were able to seat us at the sushi bar which we were thankful since it was a Saturday night. Plus it was fun to watch the sushi chef.We got the following :Appetizers:HEAD-ON SKULL ISLANDPRAWNSGinger, garlic, Fresno pepper,brown butter pankoYellowtail sashimiFresh water eel nigiriRolls:SALMON LOVERSpicy salmon, avocado,cucumber.

“Kathy and Evan have provided a truly memorable experience. Fae and I were celebrating a combination Anniversary and Valentine's Day. Couldn't have had a more pleasant evening! Our waiter Jeremy, was outstanding, as was the supporting staff.The Piedmotse Soup was incredible, as was the Petoncles en Rivesaltes (among the best Scallops in Madison), seared Duck and the Gatau Banyu.Put Cadre Restaurant on your go to list.“
“Me and my partner found Cordial after being referred here by some of our coworkers, and our experience was so amazing on our first visit that we came back here for the next four nights. The staff here is so welcoming, we feel like we are home no matter who is bartending. We have gotten to know all of them very well, and they treat us like family every time we come in. And the fact that they are very LGBT+ friendly is only an added bonus. If you're looking for a chill, low-key bar with the most welcoming staff you will ever meet then this is your place!“
“IF is creative and amazing! My wife and popped in for a drink on a random Friday night and immediately fell in love with their drinks and service. After being there for about an hour we decided this was the place to have my wife’s birthday party. Hastings was very easy to work and helped plan an amazing party. They were able to curate an amazing drink menu and also have a creative N/A drink list. Since the Party was a brunch, many ppl enjoyed the different options. Both the night we popped in and the day of the party Kelsey took amazing care of us and our entire group. We had a large party, but the staff never struggled keeping up. We were also able to bring in our food for the brunch which was a plus. I cannot say enough about this place, I highly recommend for fun evening and especially a private party!“
“This place has wonderful food and great drinks. Service was reasonably prompt and pleasant, food was delicious, drinks equally great. My only downside is expectations. When your times state 10:30 close, I expect 10:30 close. Instead, at 9:50 our table was told “We’re closing, but no rush, are you ready for the check?” This indeed insinuates that we should head out now. 40 min earlier than the advertised close. While finishing our drinks, all table’s chairs were being placed on the tables, a clear indication of closing. All tables chairs were on the tables except ours by 10pm. I totally understand a slow night, but as a manger, one should set expectations for customers regardless of current customer level. Instead they should set time for 10pm if this indeed is their existing typical closing time. Set a time, and stick to it. Again, food was delicious, from burger to cheese curds, it was all great. Please reevaluate your timings to align with your expectations. Nonetheless, thank you for the evening.“
“I can’t say enough about this wonderful bar. I was hesitant to write this review just because I don’t want this gem to get too busy that I can’t find a table! But of course this place deserves way more than a 5 star review. Staff is friendly (understatement), drinks are out of this world (understatement) and everytime my girlfriend says “can we go to Oz?” I can’t say no! Such a unique place and the staff are so incredibly accommodating. I could say wayyyy more great things but I’ll stop here for now!! Love love love!“
“Attended Muskellounge's Three Dots & A Dash collab. Drinks were spectacular, and the kitchen staff were on fire. We ordered a weekly special (burger/cheesesteak blend) and the chicken tender basket. 10/10 fantastic. I would strongly recommend checking this place out if you haven't yet.“
“Frequent here often as it’s right around the corner from where we live. The craftsmanship behind every cocktail is wonderful. Would recommend an aviation or one of their seasonal cocktails on tap! Very friendly staff and always a good time.“
“My husband and I have visited Plain Spoke a couple times and decided to host a welcome party for our wedding guests. The planning process was simple and Steph was very kind to answer all our questions. We were originally going to use both the bar and private event space, but ended up just using the bar area and it worked out well for the amount of attendees. The draft cocktails made for quick service for the group and everyone enjoyed the variety of both pre-made and built cocktails. You can also include food from the downstairs YoungBlood kitchen which was delicious. Great venue option for a private event!“
“Normally I will only eat at the hotel restaurant if I need something quick. I ate here a few nights during my stay. Will who worked the bar was amazing. He was tentative, joyful and talked to everyone. He created a great atmosphere. I ordered a burger my first day. It was juicy and flavorful and the fried were perfection. Today I ordered a chicken quesadilla and I didnt expect much but OMG it was so flavorful, a kick of spice and so cheesy. I will likely order another one before my trip is up. If you are staying at the Sheraton in Madison I recommend checking out the Hub and hanging out at the bar for a while. It's just a nice vibe and food is really good. Complements to the chef.“
“Different twist on classic supper club offerings, but all delicious.Pork chop with cherry compote was superb. Had the charred carrots based on reviews and they did not disappoint, unusual and delicious.The burnt apple jam cake was absolutely amazing.“
“Was really surprised by this cute little place! Great for a casual date night and I have also had takeout tacos which were great too. Highly recommend the bandito taco and patatas bravas. I usually don't like tacos with veggies or without meat but I loved all of their veggie or mushroom tacos surprisingly!“
“A wonderful familly facility. Sunfilled sports and events venue, traven area, good family food choices (burgers, wraps, salad, and the best french fries we've had in a traven setting). We'd go back just for the fries. Top notch, helpful and friendly staff. We were there doing an event in the events venue. Lots of free parking. Easy to find. Just off the Interstate. Perfect spot for our event.“
“Stopped in on a whim before a show at the Overture and so pleased that we did! It's beautifully decorated, provides an impressive gin menu, and has a great SOCIAL atmosphere. The menu is creative without being inaccessible, the plates were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. We tried the lobster roll and the red snapper, but saw so many of the other dishes as they were happily received by other guests. The food we had was without flaw, and the cocktails were pretty and perfectly balanced. Still, perhaps the best part of our experience was the excellent service! We were fortunate to have a great duo of bartenders on a Wednesday eveing who (from someone in the industry) worked so wonderfully as a team, kept a tidy bar, and expertly crafted each cocktail for the packed house while still remaining so attentive to us diners at the bar. The service was so outstanding from the moment we entered the door, it outshined even the immaculate menu offerings.“
“I like the place a lot. I've been there in the evening before but never for brunch. My potatoes were wildly overcooked, but the breakfast burrito was delicious. We waited a LONG time after we got our food for our server to return, but he never did until I called out to him. As if we'd disappeared. So that was weird and a little irritating.“
“Stopped by at the end of happy hour to check out dinner and drinks. Sat by the window and had a view of King St festivities and the capital. Had the shrimp fajitas and birra tacos. The fajitas were a good portion size and flavorful. The tacos were good as well. Would recommend for Mexican food in downtown Madison.“
“If you don't like Lola's you must be the only one in Madison. I know because everytime I have gone to Lola's everyone in Madison is trying to get in there. The atmosphere is terrific, the drinks are great and the food is basic but very creative. Try it, you'll like it!“
“This is a fairly large bar with 18 seats, and 12 tables, located in the Edgewater Hotel. It's sister restaurant, the Statehouse, is a high end eatery with fabulous views of Lake Mendota.Augie's was named after long time owner of the hotel, who was jovial and friendly with patrons. I found this spot, certainly the bar, still seating talkative and genuine friendly folks.We came here on Thanksgiving Day, and enjoyed local brews (Spotted Cow) and a tasty Bloody Mary. PIC had the turkey dinner, and at $26, was a big MEH. It was all dark meat that was fatty, semi-good mashed potatoes and dressing and sprouts. Pumpkin pie was likely frozen. However, I had their Augie's burger, and at $18, it was a steal!! Two smashed patties, smokey strips of bacon, cheese, lettuce, REAL tomato, onions and drippy-but-yum aioli and crispy hand cut fries- I finished that baby off with pleasure!Patrons at the bar included locals and hotel guests, who clued us in to their Friday fish fry. Unfortunately, it was Thursday, so no dice. But... the fry includes marble rye, coleslaw, fries, tartar sauce, and cod for $18. And, there's a kid-size fish fry for $9. (I think they also have perch, for an up charge.)Both bartenders were very kind and efficient, especially for having to work on a holiday.There is free street parking a block away, or underground parking for a charge.Augie's is two blocks from the Capitol Building, and has large picture windows, looking out into the neighborhood. The upscale Statehouse restaurant is adjacent, with water views, but if you are looking for something more casual, Augie's is the spot!Side note... they had Clock Shadow fried cheese curds and eight different beers, all from WI local businesses.“
“Overall was good me and my friend went here and ordered 2 things chicken wings and cheese curds and just saying the curds are the best I ever had and that’s saying something I have had my curds in my time will get again when I come back but I don’t recommend the chicken wings they are not good. and the menu didn’t have any prices so I assumed just getting 2 appetizers would be probably like 15-20 bucks turns out just the two appetizers was $40 which I know you can charge whatever you want but 40 dollars for 2 appetizers is outrageous but apart from the price would highly recommend just don’t order the chicken wings there bad just get all cheese curds you won’t regret it“
“They had a very large cocktail menu and servers were quick. I wish they had more specialty cocktails, but not bad overall. I had a strawberry mojito and it got the job done. Some fun little nooks and crannies inside. We went on a Saturday and it was not popping which felt a little bizarre for the Madison area.“
“Such a cool vibe in Madison- literally a House Bar. Multiple bars- 3 floors to explore. Super cozy and fun. Awesome drink options. Bartenders were a little dazed and confused it appeared (forgot they served us and when waiting for our last drink, they asked what we wanted to ordered, and started to completely remake our order). But other than that, it’s sweet and would recommend. Love that you can get Gramps pizza and bring it over to eat.“
“Went there for a nice dinner last night with a friend. The dinner he ordered wasn't the one that showed up but the waitress, Lindsey B went out of her way to make sure it was replaced with what he did order. She was extremely good at her job. The replacement steak was superb!The ambience is very nice. We were surprised a bit at the quality of chairs at the tables, of all things. Very rickety and worn. We had to swap out our chairs with others at nearby tables to find two that either didn't sway badly or didn't have such a divot in the cente, making it uncomfortable to sit at. Time to upgrade to better chairs, Bonfyre!We'll be back for sure.“
“We stayed at the Indigo on 3/28/24 and absolutely loved the service. We stayed in the bar area (7pm) and the bartender was excellent, made us an amazing Wisconsin Old Fashion Sour, excellent professional and very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and quickly served. We casually mentioned that my wife's birthday was the day before and the manager I assume, ( very friendly and professional, bald gentleman) brought us a Keylime pie out of nowhere! She was extremely happy. You guys rock, thank you so much and we have been here before and continue to stay here because of the amazing service. Both at the restaurant and at the hotel, hotel staff is also very friendly and even gave our dog a doggie biscuit. This is our all time favorite place to stay whenever we are in Madison. Thank you guys! Never change, you are the best. -Cris and Nikki“
“The prime medallion and meatball sandwich were delicious. I found the calamari to be over battered. I can't recommend the squash side. It tasted like it had been grilled in old grease. Over all good food and great service. I'd go back.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids! Very kid friendly.“
“Me, my boyfriend and his brother got together for a nice dinner in Madison! I’m from the Milwaukee area so we wanted to find a place with great food and a view for a special occasion, and this was THE best choice! One of our party’s flights got delayed and they accommodated our reservation change!We ordered pork tacos, the chef special gnocchi, calamari fries, four-cheese flatbread and the pork belly bites. Everything was absolutely amazing and so tasty, with more flavor than expected! Everything was piping hot and delicious, and our waitress was awesome. The atmosphere was lovely with an amazing view of the capital building. It was an amazing evening, thank you for such great food and service!“
“Nice atmosphere in this cozy little eatery near the Wisconsin State Capitol. Food was prepared fresh and they are tasty! The portion was just enough no left over to bag. Price was very modest. Kudos! Will definitely come back again when in the area.“
“First time trying Butterbird, it was good chicken! For some reason I couldn't tell on the menu if the sandwich came with sides or not. I ended up ordering the 3pc tender plate which comes with fries and coleslaw. Added a drink to the order as well. Tried the dill ranch sauce, it was ok, was hoping for a better flavor pairing I think.Atmosphere is certainly cool and takes you back in time. Overall, the service was great, food was good and will return to try the chicken sandwich or burger.“
“Truffle fries and burgers were delicious. The parmesan tots were great for a toddler as they are just coin style tots with shredded parmesan sprinkled on top. I would have been disappointed if I ordered the tots for myself, but my toddler loved them. The service was decent but not a great place for parties larger than 4 based on the setup.“
“Stopped in for lunch with family and was warmly greeted. Beautiful resturant with a full bar with slot machines and darts. Several different rooms available. It appeared they were setting up for a wedding in a separate party room. It looked lovely. We sat in a room with a view of the water. Look forward to coming back in the summer so we can sit outside. The family ordered bloody Marys which they said were good. We had steak sandwiches which were tasty. Our waiter was friendly and efficient!“
