Everything is good here. This is my husband's and my favorite restaurant for special occasions. Very romantic and cozy. Fun and delicious. You cannot go wrong. Call ahead to be sure you get a table.
Mix teriyaki with the green goddess on steak. You’ll thank me later.
The service wasn't very good. I didn't like cooking my own small portions at an exorbitant price.
Book a reservation for a special occasion: they'll make your celebration 20x better... with individualized menus, awesome service, and (of course) amazing food!
Pulitzer-winning food critic Jonathan Gold of LA Weekly tasted cheese curds for the first time at L'etoile and had a revelation. Click on "More Info" below to find out more... Read more.
Food is fantastic! Service is really good as well! It's pricey though.
Fresh local produce used in subtle appetizers and entrees. Harvest is pricey, but well worth it for special occasions.
Try the Truffled Polenta - Polenta with mushrooms and duck egg. Yummy! (via @Foodspotting)
Table by the window. Looking at the illuminated state Capitol with great company. Great food, great evening.
Definitely a place for special occasions, because it is pretty expensive.
Cheese curds, nutella stuffed French toast, and biscuits and gravy. All three the best I ever had
Okay, it's official. Best cheese curds ever.
Great service, wonderful food. Try to get a window seat for a lake view!
best burger in madison, wi. and i'm a total snob about my burgers.
At least 6 open tables and they tell us to wait still... Like I said bitches.
Amazing place for dates and romantic dinners. Very fancy interior (esp. for Madison). Lasagna and pasta entries are incredible. The only drawback of this place is its cost but it is def-ly worth it.
Bacon 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.
I love this place. Fantastic food and wine. Very hip atmosphere. The Caramelle with beets is a must order for primi. The mussels are great for a lighter meal.
Cookie pizza is a great treat. I wish they had the steel pan pizza at lunch (but the wood fired is very tasty)
So. Much. Christmas.
Bourbon barrel beer! (Central Waters)
Great, balanced beers and terrific food. Best frankfurter ever!
The Silk Scorpion Black IPA is beyond comparison. A silky, heavenly brew!
Lots of wines and some interesting cocktails. Excellent topas!
Must have the Thai Chicken Flatbread! Simply amazing! Read more.
Thai chicken flatbread is to die for
Strip hashbrown and warm spinach salad. Best old fashioneds in Madison
Eat the scallops. And all of the mashed potatoes that come along.
Grassfed burger is great. Late night menu from 10 pm on, worth the wait.
Three tap towers with unique beer selections. Excellent selection of different whiskeys. Nice beer garden for summer evenings.
Scotch tastings and jah-va stout! Must try!
Excellent beer bar that also has a great selection whiskey.
excellent beers. good food, good banquet catering staff
The brand new outdoor patio is purty nice... even more so than the old patio... which was considered purty nice itself back in the day.
The outdoor patio is quite sufficient
7: Charcuterie platter is so great. Wonderful selection of Italian wine. Pasta was a bit dry for me, but was great with a bit of olive oil. Excellent meatballs!
Pizza is unreal
best. pizza. ever. ish.
So many things were delicious, including the recommended wines. if I lived in Madison this would become a favorite restaurant.
The porchetta (which feeds four if you've downed some appetizers) has an ethereal tenderness and floats on a cloud of truffled mashed potatoes. Read more.
The scallop dish was incredible.
Love the outdoor atmosphere, food is amazing, great vegan options! Always go at least once every time we are in Madison!!
Fresh brewed beer. Billiards without daiquiri stains. Food served on platters. No wonder the states mandate closing hours, or you’d never leave this place. Start with Peck’s Pilsner, go from there.
Ask for Dario. He makes the dirtiest drinks.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
