Booked 8 times todayA great Euro-vibe in the floor of a renovated house. I've been here for lunch and dinner and will happily return. The menu is small and focused, the flavors are outstanding, and setting is cozy. More

Food was good but extremely overpriced. Other high end steak restaurants in Madison have similar quality but more respectable prices. Heard raves about the Fleming’s potatoes - they were okay but nothing special. Steaks were good, lobster was excellent. More

Rare is a gem in Madison. My husband and I dined at Rare for our Anniversary. While checking in they wished us a happy Anniversary as they must have read this in the notes. Our server was exceptional as well as the food and deserts. We will definitely be back. They also had a great bar area for after dinner drinks More

We dined with two other couples and had a delicious meal. We were able to carry on a conversation and yet did not have any problem with other tables being too loud. The waitress was wonderful and very patient. It is a bit pricey menu but we will definitely dine there again. More

I remember the original Avenue Bar and thought I would never try the remodeled version. I did and it was very good for food and service as well as price. The only change I would make is put a space heater in the entry as when people come in the cold air goes right through the open restaurant. They need higher dividers between tables to create intimacy. More

Food was fantastic! The beef tenderloin may be the best beef I've ever had - great flavor, amazing crust, was like butter - AHHHH! The cinnamon sugar crusted pineapple was amazing and pair well with the Brazilian sausage. Soooo much food so go hungry, and leave wonderfully satisfied. Service was spectacular - right from our server explaining everything to use to the removing of used plates to refilling water to the gauchos bringing the meats to us quickly. More

Excellent value and a great location. I brought my parents here for brunch on New Year's Day because my usual haunt wasn't open. They liked it. The buffet featured a good selection of well cooked food. They had huge croissants that reminded my parents of the kind you get at hotels in Europe. They were delighted and I was relieved. XD More

Passing through town but hit the jackpot with Om. Food was fresh, flavorful and packed a heat punch (in a good way!) We rarely get enough heat on the spice level when dining out, but their dishes had the spicy note. Very fresh tasting and flavored perfectly. If only we lived closer to come more often! There were a few items on the menu that we don't see at most other Indian restaurants, so were anxious to try. Too bad they didn't have a dish we wanted to try. But if we're in Madison again, I'd love to come back. More

The entrees were mostly traditional Italian and well done. Mine was the lobster ravioli special in a limoncello sauce and it was exceptionally good. The other entrees in our party were good but not exceptional. Great service. I would go back if I was in the area. More

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
Had dinner using the restaurant week menu, not sure I would have tried the menu otherwise, but everything was fantastic! 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.
