- CCynthiaWisconsin •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe frequently dine at Eno Veno prior to attending performances at the Overture Center. This was our best meal there yet. We tried several relatively new items on the menu. We particularly enjoyed the salad made with pears and goat cheese, the croquettes with Iberian jambon, and the lamb with pureed sweet potatoes and roast carrot. Each dish was delectable and beautifully presented. The croquettes were quite similar to those our daughter enjoyed when she lived in Spain, lightly crisp on the outside, creamy and subtlety seasoned on the inside. The lamb was tender and done to perfection with deliciously complementary sides. As always at this restaurant, the service was excellent throughout the meal.More infoEno Vino DowntownPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Madison•4.6
- VVeronica MvipWisconsin •335 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe highly recommend D'Vino's. It is the second time we have dined here, and we loved it. Mr. Maniaci, the chef and co-owner, and the staff, including Andre and Jesse, were friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant hires the nicest people. The food is delicious! My husband enjoyed the Short Rib Ravioli. I enjoyed the Spaghetti and Meatballs, which was exceptional. The decor has character and is attractive. The music makes for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. As we left, my husband said, "This place is a GEM, and I agree."More infoD’VinoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Madison•4.8
- FfargofoodieSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe loved Lucille's! We visited during Miracle on King St since our entire family was in town to celebrate the holiday. We loved the festive atmosphere, Christmas music, and holiday drink menu to kick up some holiday cheer! We started off with cheese curds and nachos, and ended with three different pizzas. It was fabulous!More infoLucillePrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Madison•4.6
- LLoriWisconsin •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had the best time at Drpaer Brothers. The food, service, ambience was all what you want in a fine dining experiences. We will be back. Fatima is an excellent server. She is attentive, gives good guidance on food selections and beverages. She definitely adds quality and fun to your evening . We tried a variety of dishes. From the lamb lollipops to tartare to meatballs for starters. For entrees we had scallops, filets, beef mushroom ravioli and their seafood pasta alla vodka. We also tried the wedgini salad and ciopinno soup. For sides we had lobster mac and cheese, broccolini. Dessert was another surprise with huge portions of their key lime pie and a double chocolate piece of decadence.More infoDraper Brother's ChophousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Madison•4.4
- AAngelWisconsin •2 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe place seemed a little understaffed as our server was managing many tables and took a while to get to us, but the staff were otherwise very friendly. There was a mixup with our table's order which resulted in me getting my meal after quite a wait. Unfortunately the corn bisque with mussels I ordered was very bland and the mussels were very undercooked, so I did not eat much of it. The cornbread and fish fry were fine, but nothing too impressive. I had been to Merchant in the past and thought it was fantastic and was surprised to have not a great experience this time.More infoMerchantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Madison•4.2
