Linds E. • September 22, 2016I enjoy ordering the pork tenderloin with tart cherry sauce. With side salad and hash browns. Yum!

Kayvon T. • June 20, 2017The best grilled cheese I've ever had. Incredible local Wisconsin cheese (a Fontina) + cauliflower and mushrooms. Pair it with a soup, and you have yourself an incredible lunch.

Paul B. • October 5, 2010Great service, wonderful food. Try to get a window seat for a lake view!

Amy R. • June 24, 2017This is my favorite bar burger in Madison. Made from steak trimmings it is perfectly beefy in flavor

Ben N. • January 23, 2016This place is so delicious. Tasty, authentic Indian food for reasonable prices. $12 lunch buffet is totally worth it! I will always come here again

Michael D. • May 13, 2010For great breakfast any time, this is the diner for you. Try some of their hash specialties or their florentine breakfast. Very personal service, too!

Amy R. • May 29, 2016Cookie pizza is a great treat. I wish they had the steel pan pizza at lunch (but the wood fired is very tasty)

Sarah K. • June 4, 2012My kind of pizza - thin crust and brick oven - any pizza is great, but make sure to check out the salads too!

Kristi H. • November 6, 2013Best pastries in Madison. My favorites: bacon and cheddar biscuit, and any of their stuffed croissants.

Brandon T. • June 29, 2011Try the squash bell pepper goat cheese omelet...amazing

Michal S. • December 20, 2015Quarter if the apple fritter was more than sufficient. It's huge! Great atmosphere right on the square.

Abdulatif A. • August 12, 2019They provide the best coffee ☕️ at all. Black coffee and Cappuccino are my favorite. Don’t forget brownies

Fallon C. • November 17, 2015The mussels are amazing. Very cool atmosphere

Derek V. • July 21, 2013Steak & Meatball Pho with Thai Iced Tea, or Vietnamese Iced Coffee - can't go wrong either way!

Linds E. • March 5, 2016Bacon wrapped dates! These helped with my craving after trying these at Chicago restaurant, Avec. Give the dates a try as an appetizer. They are rather small, but you get 5 or 6 bite sized pieces.

Alex C. • January 3, 2017A really interesting idea. A lot of Latin American influence, and really cozy. There are lots of souvenirs (bottles, shirts, coffee bags...).

Tyler L. • November 18, 2015Atmosphere, music playlist, cool vibe, great burger, friendly staff

Sarah K. • June 4, 2012Go for lunch - you get the egg roll with your meal. Also, they only have the Pho Soup (my favorite) on the lunch menu.

Kate F. • June 27, 2015All the flavors are good. I recommend zanzibar or zoreo for the chocolate lovers.

Jody E. • October 26, 2013Try the jasmine green tea. Freshly baked scones and muffins, still warm.

Andy S. • March 16, 2019You can’t go wrong with anything in the menu. The Italian will make you want to cry in the corner because it is not part of your daily life.

Jessica R. • April 9, 2015Phenomenal service and perfect steak. I had the 8 oz filet au poivre with the garlic mashed potatoes. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and seasoned wonderfully. Very reasonable prices.

Corey J. • February 10, 2015The rotating selection of specialty pizzas are the star of the show at Sal's.👍

Vicki S. • March 8, 2013The view alone is worth the trip plus the food is delicious!

Timothy L. • June 12, 2017We have been looking for a place that serves brunch later on Sundays. They serve brunch all the time. Excellent select and helpful staff. We sat at the counter and prefer that.

MR R. • December 17, 2019Visiting Madison. The staff was so pleasant and dinner was delicious - very flavorful. We had Bakmi Goreng and Gado Gado, both with tempeh.

Ryan H. • May 16, 2012They don't serve food, but bring in/order in whatever you want! Great tap selection, extensive bottle list, solid whiskey flights as well. Always worth a visit.

Greg S. • April 28, 2014Their home made salad dressing is excellent. The gnocchi is also really good if you're into that kind of thing.

colleen r. • February 29, 2016Food is always fantastic! Love the scrambler with so many options to choose from.
