Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Hillcrest

Attended the 5-course Christmas Eve dinner. It was worth every penny- from start to finish it was coursed beautifully, ingredients were fresh and cooked perfectly to temp, plating was festive and colourful; and all this with just the right timed check-ins from my bartender/server James. The couple next to me did the wine pairing and everything was explained nicely and paired well... along with some fun history & stories- I opted for the cocktails which were creative and utilized some lovely ingredients as well as being well balanced.

Simply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!

The small plates are entirely original, owing more to Asian and other fusion than to Spanish tapas. The cocktails were original and enhanced the meal. Ambience was great

La Bonne Table serves a regular, limited and consistently excellent menu. There were four of us celebrating a birthday so we shared several appetizers and entrees. Great onion soup and escargot, and the crab lobster rillettes were surprisingly delicious. Every entree was great - we had cassoulet, the pork chops and the mussels. Large portions so leftovers the next day! Even the French 75 cocktail was great. We felt like we were in France; the ambiance was cozy and the neighboring patrons were friendly and chatty. A wonderful experience - highly recommend.

We were so pleased that Madison has brought back their delicious jambalaya! Having grown up in New Orleans, I can say that Madison‘s jambalaya is some of the best around! Also loved the live jazz, friendly staff, and good vibe of the place!
