Alway a delicious and special evening at Eno Vino. Downtown is fun but west is equally tasty and was the first place we became hooked on. Relaxed and cozy, great service. We always order prosciutto bruschetta. Tried Wild Salmon and short rib pot stickers. All were exceptional! Plus Ancho Chile brownie dessert for fun. More

The food was excellent, but the service not so much. Our waitress forgot our drinks several times and did not stop to check on us at all even though she walked past multiple times. Loved the grilled smoked chicken enchiladas and mango strawberry margarita! More

Excellent pizza. Reasonable prices. Not much for atmosphere, e.g. paper table coverings. Dining room was cold at arrival (6:00 pm). Kept jackets on for 30 minutes. Room warmed up eventually. Maybe they turned the heat on or up after we got there. More

We booked our table through Open table and noted that we were there to celebrate a birthday. Upon arrival, our table was set with menus noting the event which all of my guests thought it was a nice touch. Our meal was fantastic and the service exceptional. At the close of dinner, we were all treated to a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Nice touch! Of course, their portions are so big that there were plenty of to-go containers to go home with us!

The Fig Salad is enough reason to go to the Tin Fox. But so is the risotto. There are also plenty of items to choose from that are gluten-free. No need to fret Jac's closing, because Tin Fox has you covered if you have celiac including a separate fryer. The night I went (Tuesday) was quiet, service was excellent and food was terrific. They will be changing their menu for the spring season but luckily the fig salad will remain. More

Tory Miller has changed the burger here to a 2 meat and cheese burger. This does did not disappoint! It was full of flavor, juicy and the new bun selection instead of the English muffin is wonderful! We did ask for the brioche bun instead of the bun they serve it with. We’ve been waiting for a few changes to his menu! Thank you! We’ve been talking about this sandwich since we’ve had it and we can’t wait to return. More

Thank you. We came to Madison to visit dear friends and your remarkable restaurant helped us make new memories. Thank you to the hostesses who went above and beyond to have the roses on the table I had requested. Denarili (sorry for the spelling) was particularly kind, welcoming and helpful. Logan is an extraordinary server and could easily be training waitstaff in 5-star restaurants. He was inventive, responsive and dedicated to excellence throughout our meal. We will return on each trip to Madison and if we lived there it would be a "go to" spot for us. Thank you again. More

Our visit was on Valentines Day. Nice menu with vegetarian and healthy options, reasonably priced. Music set a romantic tone. The host and manager were delightful, but our server was dismissive once we ordered water only to drink. While the server to the adjacent tables was friendly and made sure guests got water and drink refills, we received none. Our orders included ribeye and chicken picatta — both were very good, and the brussel sprouts were awesome. We got dessert “to-go,”: cheesecake (good) and molten lava brownie (incredibly decadent). Would recommend and will visit again. More

I took a client there for a business dinner. The food and service were both good and I would go back. More
OpenTable Diner -
He’s a solid citizen with talent and charm. To our good fortune he just happens to hail from Texas and he can cook and he can sing. And he loves to do both. That’s how Tex Tubb’s Taco Palace came to be. It’s where his two worlds collide. It’s informal, friendly, casual, rustic, chaotic, comfortable, affordable, and fun. A joint, a bar with great food, authentic food. It’s his home away from home, it’s his palace.More

Discover Madison
Wisconsin's capital surrounds most of Lake Mendota and the nearby suburbs. Whether you're taking a stroll by the water in summer or ice skating downtown during the cooler months, make sure you take a break to try a kringle. Wisconsin is one of only a few states to declare a state pastry, and this delightful Danish dessert is worth the acclaim. If you're looking for a full meal rather than just dessert, head downtown to see a selection of the most popular restaurants. The square around the Capitol is home to a dozen cozy pubs and steakhouses, so you can enjoy an Irish draft beer or classic burger. For those who prefer Asian food, there is a wide array of Thai, Chinese, and Japanese fare to enjoy here as well.
