Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Downtown Madison, Madison

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)

Aaron F. • June 26, 2010Be sure to try the swordfish and ribs combo

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

Jon T. • December 8, 2013I was skeptical, but the Mac 'n cheese pizza is one of the top ten foods I've eaten in my life! Do it!

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.

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

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.

Ally M. • July 22, 2015Yummy appetizers, like cheese curds and deviled eggs. Desserts are also wonderful.

Derek V. • December 26, 2013Never disappointed with the scrambler, but everything I have tried is fresh and flavorful. Weekdays are less trafficked. Also, try the marmalade on the table -- it's excellent!

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...).

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.

Siettah • December 31, 2014The savory French toast is delicious! I wanted to try the maple bacon donut but they had run out, so get there before noon if donuts are your thing!

Mitch • April 17, 2015Pelmeni is always delicious the staff is always friendly, what more could you ask for at 2am?

Mark L. • January 27, 2011Best upscale Japanese-French fusion food I've had outside of Japan

Peter • June 21, 2021Proper specialty coffee spot with sammies.

Jenny C. • November 12, 2016The sweet potato oatmeal pancakes are delicious, filling and ALMOST healthy.

Dave S. • August 6, 2015The menu is constantly changing based on seasonal offerings, but there's always amazing food on tap. And, don't forget dessert!Expect to spend around $200–$250 w/ tip for two.

Amy R. • August 4, 2017Gorgeous views. Wine is better than cocktails (and $2 off before 7pm on weekdays)

James R. • November 25, 2012The Oysters Delmonico are a wonderful, rich choice. Definitely recommended.

Ben K. • May 11, 2012The N/A summer drinks are great. Strawberry mint lemonade!

JH H. • October 10, 2015Tasty and authentic coffee. Gets super crowded as its near campus and not Starbucks

Lauren B. • April 22, 2017I got the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and it was absolutely amazing!! It felt very light but filling and it was a great way to end the night! Service was very nice too :)

C • December 30, 2015Great variety of drinks, entrees, and desserts. Can't go wrong with their current drink menu that is constantly changing.

Julie • May 6, 2011The Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong tea is very good! Recommended for a lightly-caffeinated kick in the morning. It's a nicely fresh tea with a green bouquet and flavor.

Linds E. • July 25, 2017Three cup Chicken or Tofu!!!! Sooo good! Anything is wonderful on their menu

Amy R. • September 25, 2016Large selection of whiskey and a chill place for an after work cocktail

Colby M. • August 4, 2017Great fries!

Minh N. • April 12, 2016Very good grilled romaine salad. Excellent mushroom risotto. Good pork loin with garlic flan. The flan was so light and soft it was like a whipped cheese.

Paul D. • February 26, 2011The craft cocktails are absolutely transcendental (give the High Plains Drifter a try) & the soundtrack is the best in town.
