JingyanFebruary 28, 2016I personally would rate Sardine best of Madison, after been to close to 50 restaurants here. Everything we had was tasty, quality food.
Joanna MerrillMarch 2, 2015Fantastic place for brunch. High quality, tasty, and creative food choices set in an inviting and trendy atmosphere. French themed bar options with a good selection of champagnes and gins.
Dani NSeptember 12, 2013The oysters were a little bland, maybe a twist of lemon would've helped! The salmon was GREAT with the capers and spinach; just awesome!!! Nice location & nice to sit on patio if available.
Nick RoyJanuary 31, 2015Pork abd beans with the salmon at Sunday brunch are fantastic! Great bloody Mary's. All around best brunch I've found in Madison.
El SoberanoAugust 25, 2013loved the energy and food was delicious! had oyster sampler which was great in August. fish was flavorful and well-cooked.
Brad StarksFebruary 3, 2013Tae by the front window is the best for brunch!! Dana is right! Nate is the man for drinks!! Mojitos here are great!!
Julie ChampionMarch 19, 2015Side salad that comes with most brunch items is delicious and perfect with the rest of your meal.
Corey JacobApril 4, 2016Best Sunday brunch in Madison. All the classics done right with a lakefront view to match.
The shrimp, bacon, crab called on the brunch menu are to die for!
Lobster croquettes are divine. Braised beef is supreme comfort food.
Christian TafoyaFebruary 26, 2017Great variety of seafood on the menu. I recommend starting with some oysters.
Scallop appetizer is yummy. Anchor Steam on tap. Also - Omelets and frites for brunch? Yes please.
Greg AlfordFebruary 1, 2021When i visited the restaurant they were having a great outdoor seating arrangement and food was great.
- Tony TandeskiMay 12, 2011Great atmosphere right by the lake with great service. Stop by for brunch on the weekend. In a word amazing. Top it off with a mimosa.
Justin FrederickMay 25, 2013So good! Great view of lake! Food is worth the wait! Happy hour is fantastic!
The baked creamed eggs are phenomenal! It's almost like a quiche but instead of a crust, they use prosciutto.
Jason OliverMay 14, 2012Try the chocolate chip cookie - Was yummy. Get without mint, unless you like mint!- Corey JacobAugust 16, 2014Theres no better place to have the perfect brunch in madison then at Sardine.
Have Nathan make you a Last Word Cocktail- equal parts Death's Door Gin, lime juice, Maraschino, Green Chartreuse. Be sure to have a designated driver. Read more
Weekend brunch is tasty and the bar provides ample comfort for your Scotch imbued brain.
- Try the freshly squeezed orange juice and the grilled pork sausages.
