Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Madison South

Excellent food and atmosphere. Friendly bar staff. Pleasantly noisy due to a fun jazz trio performing. Great overall experience.

Delicious food, especially for the cost. The bartender was our server. Very helpful, great service. Deviled eggs are insane. Beet salad was a genius combo of flavors and the ny strip was tender and juicy. I advise getting it med or med rare.

Food has really good taste, just super robust for a brunch but I suppose that’s the southern style (it was my first time eating southern food). But I could definitely go back.

Nostrana is a consistently great restaurant. Food and service are outstanding. Our server Emma was fantastic. Made us feel like we knew her our entire lives. Please ask for Emma when you do.

We arrived earlier than our 5:30pm reservation but were still graciously seated, and immediately told about the “Golden Hour.” Our kind and informative server was thoughtfully descriptive when telling us about particular menu items we had questions about (e.g. Sambal flight), as well as made the recommendation of ordering rice with the Grilled Banana Leaf Black Cod (which was definitely appreciated), and checked in with us throughout the meal with perfect timing. We all agreed that every dish was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the Chinese Sausage & Shrimp Siu Mai w/spicy mustard, the Zucchini & Corn Fritter, and the Dry Aged Steak Tartare. The decor of the restaurant was colorful and eclectic which created a comfortable non-pretentious vibe. We look forward to our next visit!
