- TTomWisconsin •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLove this unique place! Staff are consistently smart, personable and efficient. Food is also consistently good. Cannot go wrong ordering the chicken parmesan. It’s one of the best we’ve ever found. Curried mussels are a favorite starter. Savory and tasty. A real hit!More infoBonfyre American GrillePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Madison•4.6
- KKristinWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoEven though the reservation was made more than 2 weeks ago and we could only get a 3:00 time slot— that was no big deal. We got a fantastic table on the 2nd floor, our server was a delight and very helpful, our food was incredible— just an all around wonderful Valentines Day “linner” (lunch/dinner)! It’s really no wonder it’s hard to get a table; this place is our favorite!More infoLucillePrice: Expensive• Pizzeria• Madison•4.4
- MMargaretWisconsin •1 review4.0Dined on Jan 29, 2025I had a reservation and when I arrived the hostess tried to tell me I didn’t have a reservation. Some of my party got there before me and they were seated indicating my reservation. The background music was too loud. The food was good, but not much of it for the price which I was aware of. Nice time, but not overly impressed.More infoEno Vino West SidePrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Madison•4.6
- AAndreWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 23, 2025Truly amazing food! I have no idea how you produce such volumes with such freshness and quality! The buffet, meats and desserts are top of the line as far as I’m concerned. I sampled at least 10-12 different items from the buffet, and all of them were excellent. The greeting was warm and welcoming, and the staff were attentive , professional, and very fast in there responsiveness. And the ambience was nearly perfect. And the value of what is provided versus what I paid is quite fair and reasonable. Thank you for a terrific experience! I can’t say enough good things about it and will definitely be back.More infoSamba Brazilian GrillPrice: Very Expensive• Brazilian Steakhouse• Madison•4.6
