The food was fantastic but that's not what this experience amazing. Our party was served phenomenally by Leigh who made this experience utterly beautiful. She was witty and hilarious and matched our energy and vibe. We came to 107 State for the wonderful ambiance of the restaurant but with her welcoming service we were able to enjoy our meal and feel as if we were with family at home. Rather than only enjoying a meal for our friend's 20th birthday we were able to embrace the full experience that this restaurant has to offer due to the wonderful work of the servers. If we were not just visiting and lived we would 100% come here often just for her. 10/10 would recommend for anybody visiting or local to the area. read more

Walked in on a whim. Picked up on a few queues that leaned interesting. Good tunes; quality sound; really attractive bar as a centerpiece; greeted in a friendly manner and Hibiki whiskey among a well stocked shelf. Figured I'd order a beer from a quality menu while my wife ordered a nice Sangiovese, all good. Decided to have a little something and ordered the wedge. Too much dressing on the salad but the pork belly bacon was killer. Added a shrimp penne pasta that would have benefitted from a dash of white wine or a quick lemon zest, but good stuff. Enjoyed the service, the stop and the vibe. This place is fighting for space in the world and deserves a shot. Give them a try. read more

The most amazing service!!! Our server brought the whole experience to a different level. Food was delicious. Had the salmon. The classic brandy old fashioned was one of the best I've had in Madison, and I've tested a lot! read more

Way too overpriced for what you're getting. The cocktails were good but not worth $12 especially since most of them only had one type of liquor in them. We got the penne allá vodka. Was good but pretty expensive for overcooked boxed pasta. Finally, I got the porky tomato burger where I was promised an heirloom tomato. The tomato was the main part of the burger but when it came out, you could tell the thin slice of tomato came from a regular beefsteak tomato. Burger tasted fine but don't highlight a tomato burger when that was the worse part of the burger. Bun was also a dry potato bun that wasn't even toasted. Overall decent place but way too overpriced for the quality of food you are getting. read more

We went here for Prom with a group of 8. We made reservations but the day off, the restaurant called an hour early to ask if we could be there in 15 min. Keep in mind this was prom night so we were getting pictures and unable to come early (the whole reason we made reservations for the time we did) we got to the restaurant 15 min before our reservation time and were seated right away. Food was good but whey told us that we had a 2 hour limit and they would kick us out. Then it came time for the bill, they charged us with a 25% service fee and would not split the bill. None of which they told us at time of reservation. Staff was unwilling to work with us and because of having a group we were an inconvenience. Will not be back. read more

We were treated so wonderfully by the bartender and the chef! While deciding between a few dishes, they brought us a bit of pasta to taste. The special was prime rib, and the chef carving it out in dining area was a nice presentation. We typically aren't huge prime rib eaters, but it was so tempting. The food was absolutely phenomenal! And we had plenty of leftovers for the next day. read more

I hate to give bad ratings to any place but I really appreciate knowing what I'm getting into, and I think others do as well. I ordered a cheeseburger last Sunday and asked a lot of questions to make sure it would be decent. I asked if they toast to the bun and they said yes, asked for it medium rare and they said no problem, double checked to make sure it was a cheeseburger and they said right on. What I got was and over-cooked, medium-well cheeseburger with such little cheese that you couldn't even see there was any on it except for tiny residual elements. There was no lettuce, tomato, anything at all whatsoever to distinguish this from something you might find thrown away at the end of a long Sunday picnic. Basically an inedible hockey puck. Just disappointing on every level and it totally sucks to say that I will definitely never go back. It's so weird that restaurants don't realize that what they put out will come back to them. I really wanted this to be just a decent normal cheeseburger and it was probably the worst one I've ever had in my life. The good part about it is that everyone was really nice and it looks like a nice atmosphere. But they don't seem to put any love, or even like, into their food, which was extremely disappointing. read more

Food was good, but kitchen made a mistake with one of our orders. We politely asked for the salad to be complementary since they made a mistake on the order and did not bring the salad out until well after we had finished the entrées. The manager decided that since we still were able to consume the salad that they were not going to make it complementary. We have been regular customers and would likely be ongoing, regular customers, but because of this, we will no longer patronize the business. read more

The food and drinks are both wonderful. The mozzarella tomato appetizer was perfect. The Chicken Fraser was also fantastic. The chicken was juicy with the skin perfectly crunchy. The bartender was also amazing!!! read more

We came in here over 4th of July weekend from Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed our dinning experience. Nathan the owner came to check on us and is a true lover of food and delivering a memorable outing. Great ambiance, food, and wine! Thank you Nathan and 107 State!! read more

Wow! I am so impressed. First off, the service was amazing. We had several servers who seemed to be working in a team, and we were always maximumly attended to without being annoyed. Secondly, wow at the special! During happy hour, you get a free taco with each beverage you buy. The pork shoulder taco was so good, not dry at all, and just a great app. But ultimately, the bacon ragu and pork ragu stole the show. First time here, but will definitely be back!! read more

Excellent service. Great food. Ribeye burger is exceptional. The owner is out to please. Friendly atmosphere. The bacon is incredible.

I should have left after reviewing the menu. It was printed on stained and crumpled paper. Prices were high for the limited menu. I was told the beer list was not accurate. It would not have been difficult to update since it was printed on a piece of paper. I was not surprised the place was almost empty. There are several better dining options on or near State Street. read more

My favorite Italian dish is Cacio e Pepe. Is was fantastic! We also shared the mushroom crostini appetizers. It was delicious. My husband was hoping for a bolginaise or a more traditional sauce, unfortunately they had recently taken it off the menu. He settled for the burger. He said it was great. Great & friendly staff. read more

Really wanted to like this place! Rude staff, overpriced meal not done properly. Go at your own risk

It was our first date night since COVID, and we could have not been more pleased with the service, drinks, and food. Highly recommend the Penne Ala Vodka! read more

This was our second time here and we were sadly disappointed. The Tuesday special of the day (Roast Chicken) was not available when we got there (6:15pm).So we ordered a burger and the turkey & swiss melt which we had ordered the first time we ate there and they were delicious....THEN. This time there was WAY TOO much salt in both the sandwiches and fries. I ordered the burger medium rare and it came out well done. The turkey & swiss melt was over-grilled in WAY too much butter and there was hardly any cheese in it. The only saving grace was our server who was very apologetic and sweet. read more

Where does the family celebrate an 84th birthday during Covid? No question 107 State made our evening delicious and memorable. The pasta was perfect! Fish and pork tender and flavorful. The staff relaxed, accessible and experienced. Thank you Nathan and everyone for a wonderful night. read more

Starts with Adam the bartender- friendly kind and very personable. Cocktails very different, some are classics with a nice twist. Atmosphere and lighting in this place make it cozy, warm and relaxing. They took the wooden boards used for boarding up the place during riots of 2020 and had the owners' friends who designed some beautiful artwork on them now placed over the booths and let me tell you this adds to ambiance. Food mostly burgers and pasta but ramped up a level. My bliss burger was more burger than bun - perfection. The pasta my husband had , cacio e pepe was fantastic. All in all we'll be back read more

We came here for dinner last night and were very underwhelmed. The food was generally tasty; however, my spouse and I had ordered the fish fry and it came out with only one piece. My mother ordered a burger and asked if she could have coleslaw instead of fries. The waitress very coldly said "no substitutions." I got coleslaw with my fish fry and gave it to my mother, but it was so tiny! It literally came in a little sauce container. Overall, Small portions, overpriced, and unfriendly service. We will not be coming back anytime soon. This restaurant will likely be going the way of the previous establishments that have inhabited this space if it doesn't quickly change course: out of business. read more

107 State - One piece fish fry with laughable portion of coleslaw. No substitutions! - American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

As a tour guide in Italy, I know what an authentic Roman pasta should taste like and this place nails it. Simple, delicious and no frills, the flavor really shines through. Service was friendly and efficient and cocktails well crafted. I look forward to seeing what they have on offer in the future. Highly recommend! read more

Just had a great meal there before our new year's eve festivities ...great burger, bacon appetizer and pasta dish ! Give this place a try..we did, loved it ! read more

Stopped by 107 State tonight for a fine meal. My spouse had the lasagne bolognese seared crispy on the flat top. Fantastic! I had the Hoosier Blue burger; burger, blue cheese and raw onion. That was also great. Excellent place for burgers or pasta with a nice beer and wine selection. We are looking forward to a return trip. read more

Burger was so good. Vodka pasta was stupidly delicious. Appetizers were rediculous. Best wings I've ever had. Service was top notch. Nathan the owner visited our table and we couldnt have had a better Night. read more

107 state is a hidden gem in the nations best college town. They have a fun atmosphere that is perfect to go with your family or to start a night out. Their waiter George is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendation of the wisco sauce with the fries was my husband's favorite! Would recommend this place if you ever find yourself looking for great food in a fun sit down atmosphere on state street! Makes me feel young again! read more

We really enjoyed eating at 107 State. The menu was diverse and quite interesting. Food tasted great. Considering its location's close proximity to the capitol, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The interior was welcoming as was the staff. I will definitely return. read more

Just don't go here. It's worth waiting to go somewhere nice because we waited for over an hour for our food and paid the same prices. ALSO, the don't have ranch?? Understandable, but also completely not understandable. Our $10 cheese curds were served with French dressing??? Again, just don't go here. read more

Happy Hour is every day of the week from 4-6pm. Our bartender was so fun. Try the BACON!!!!

Amazing Breakfast sandwich - roasted bacon, egg and cheese. Crispy roasted thick cut bacon, perfectly done eggs, yummy cheese and toasted delicious bun! Best ever!!! Service was excellent! Atmosphere beautiful! Dinner menu looks delicious and different too. Can't wait to try it! read more

I rarely review. I stumbled in here absolutely by chance. I ordered the pork chops and I'm telling you they are the best I have ever had. Can't imagine a better pork chop . Excellent service - great mellow tavern atmosphere with high end quality. I highly recommend read more

My wife and I spent a couple weeks living downtown so we had several opportunities to dine at 107 State.  Every visit whether just the two of us or with friends was fantastic.  Our first visit we had the summer beet & burrata salad (wow), arugula salad, jambalaya, and the pork chop with cooked greens.  All of it was prepared top-notch.  Seriously, the pork chop is to die for, but my wife swoons over the beet & burrata salad.  Nathan suggested the wine pairings which were superb.  Our next visit we had some of the same and also the andouille sandwich and the NY strip steak.  The vegetable sides were treated with respect.  The wine parings were, again, outstanding.  On our last visit four of us had a special treat.  We started with the 1/2# of bacon as Nathan prepared for us an out-of-this-world aglio e olio pasta.  This was followed by broccoli, then the braised cauliflower.  The topper was large cuts of ribeye and NY strip.  The steak was cooked perfectly rare/medium rare from one end of the meat to the other.  Again the wine brought out the flavors.  This State St. restaurant is a must. read more
