What a find!!! We were so happy to follow recommendations and had dinner Wednesday night (Italian…read morenight)..Patty, the hostess was adorable, music old school Sinatra, wait staff great, food delicious! (I had the Mahi). The decor was amazing!!!Four of us from Carmel Indiana visiting to hike, etc. Consensus....we will go back the second night. Thursday we had to wait for a table, (and think we took backseat to a couple tables of locals) Hostess was certainly no Patty. We were seated under a fan going full blast.... And it was chilly. We asked to have the fan turned down, or off...we were told she couldn't "reach it". We would have been extremely uncomfortable, so we left. I'm leaving my 5 Star because our first night was sooooo awesome. (But what a difference a day makes!!!) we went down the street to Reds and had a spectacular meal!!!

The Taproom bar has a cozy historic, small town feel. We sat up at the bar. The bartender, our…read moreserver, was friendly and attentive. She checked on us several times. Food comes out super quick. The fish taco and crawfish taco were excellent with a spicy kick from either the aioli or pickled onions. The cod tasted fresh and I liked the breading. I'd order these again, hands down. My husband had his hand breaded tenderloin with fries. He loved the brioche roll and the generous pork patty was tender. He would have liked a bit of seasoning in the breading. The fries are perfectly crispy and delicious. We found free street parking nearby.

Stopped back in again to OBT while in town for work... Good, but not as good as the last time…read morearound. OBT still has that same cool laid back small town watering hole vibes... The service was alright (not bad, but nothing special this go), the food was good except the wings that were very rubbery, and they have a great tap and bottled beer selection. It was Taco Tuesday ($2.50 tacos), so I think every local schooner in Madison was there for dinner. Apparently a bunch of restaurants in town are closed on Tuesdays, but OBT is not one of them. Overall, good but not great... Cool place though, so I'll come back again when in town.

Hinkle's is an old fashioned diner where you can sit on a stool at the bar or at a table in the…read moresmall dining area. They are famous for their small, slider style burgers and their huge variety of milkshakes. The ambiance has an old school vibe, the servers are friendly, and the food comes out piping hot. Whether you're eating alone or with the family, Hinkle's comes highly recommended.

Burgers were small but decent, staff wasn't super friendly but overall not a bad experience.read more

Red on Main is nothing short of an amazing experience!…read more The ambiance is casual but classy, and the entire experience was fantastic. I had the Medjool Dates, and honestly, I wish I could have ordered two more servings because they were out of this world delicious! The flavors were so complex and absolutely mouthwatering. I wish I lived closer so I could work my way through the entire menu! I sat at the bar, which is spectacular, and the service was spot-on. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and their dirty martini was just dirty enough! I highly recommend Red on Main as a go-to for a great meal, atmosphere, service, and cocktails. You won't be disappointed!

We ate here for lunch today, and it was a very disappointing experience. There were only three…read moretables waiting for food, yet it took nearly an hour for our meals to arrive. We were told the delay was because of the mac and cheese, which was supposedly cooked in a cast-iron dish. Instead, it appeared to be Kraft mac and cheese heated in a ceramic bowl. Because of the long wait, all of our fries were cold by the time they reached the table. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, and it was difficult to eat because of the way it was prepared. We drove to Madison hoping to enjoy a nice lunch, but unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. Considering the quality of the food and the lengthy wait, we couldn't believe how much we spent. We left feeling like it simply wasn't worth the cost.

Four of us for lunch. Started by splitting a half order of chicken livers. The menu stated a half…read moreorder was a half pound of livers. The livers were very good. However, the order seemed awfully small to be a half pound.. We also tried their cup of gumbo ($9.99). The gumbo was pretty good, but I prefer gumbo made with a brown roux, this gumbo was tomato based. Three of us had the Half Corned Beef Reuben lunch special served with fries ($9.99). The sandwich was average, not bad but nothing outstanding either. The fries were ordered crispy and they arrived as ordered. Fries were very good. One person had the breaded tenderloin sandwich. It looked good and he said he did like it. They have bottle beer, no draft. IMO the highlights were the livers and fries. Service was very good, fast and friendly.

Soup salad and bread was tasty. The hot brown was better than I expected. The extra cheesy grilled…read morecheese lived up to its name.

I do think it could stay in the oven just a bit longer for a better melt, but it's still hit and good. Portions are really big, so be prepared for leftovers. We enjoyed everything we had- the pizza in particular was tasty & huge for the price. Service was great- around enough to be helpful, not so much to be annoying. I did think it was a bit odd to have drinks in to go cups, though. The tables are packed in pretty tight, so you're going to have to be friendly with your neighbors when you get up to leave from the booth side. The acoustics are also not great, and added with close tables, it's hard to carry on a conversation.

Higher-end restaurant in Madison. We went out to celebrate my birthday and were able to get a…read morereservation for 3 just a few hours before we wanted to go. The place is a good size, volume was nice, they have both indoor and outdoor seating along with the bar, too. Our waitress was super nice, allowed us to modify our drinks a little and our meal. The only downfall was the food took forever to come. We were there for about an hour and a half from start to finish. Drinks were good, strong. The "grilled" Caesar salad was not grilled but honestly i preferred it that way. We got the chicken meal and it was phenomenal. The chicken, the potatoes, and the sauce were so good. The salmon presentation was beautiful and delicious!
