Friendly staff, delicious food, and a beautiful view of Lake Mendota. Our group had the spicy chicken sandwich, ham and cheese omelet, and eggs Benedict.

Fatima is an excellent server. She is attentive, gives good guidance on food selections and beverages. She definitely adds quality and fun to your evening . We tried a variety of dishes. From the lamb lollipops to tartare to meatballs for starters. For entrees we had scallops, filets, beef mushroom ravioli and their seafood pasta alla vodka. We also tried the wedgini salad and ciopinno soup. For sides we had lobster mac and cheese, broccolini. Dessert was another surprise with huge portions of their key lime pie and a double chocolate piece of decadence.More infoDraper Brother's ChophousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Madison•4.4

- KKrisWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoThe food was fabulous, and it was great to have ham and prime rib along with the traditional turkey and gravy. The sides were exceptional - 4 kinds of potatoes, baked squash, green beans, and stuffing. The salad bar was awesome. And there were about 20 different desserts. It was all served buffet style, and despite the large number of guests being served, there was rarely a line. The Concourse staff are really professional and made everything flow smoothly. It was a splurge, but it was well worth it.More infoThe Madison Concourse HotelPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Madison•4.1

Discover Madison
Surrounded by lakes, Madison is also home to an amazing variety of cuisines. Fish fry, steak, and pasta are all local favorites that you can enjoy with a view of the lake and a bottle of fine wine. However, Swiss, French, Spanish, and Italian cuisines are also widely available around the city. Whether or not you follow a vegetarian or gluten-free diet, you'll definitely want to try the award-winning falafel, which you can find just north of downtown. Be sure to also stop by one of Madison's dairy bars, which serve far more than just a handful of cheese-centric dishes.
