Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Madison

This was our first time at this Steakhouse and it did not disappoint my filet was a perfect Medium with a black garlic butter no steak sauce required, the sides we had were a Japanese Street corn and Cream Spinach both were a cut above other sides I had at other Steakhouses like Eddie V’s, and the Key lime pie was a great finish to a flawlessly prepared meal. We will definitely be back when we come to Mohegan Sun. And our server Jene made our experience even better with great recommendations on drinks and sides

This was our second time having Thanksgiving dinner at The Wharf. And just like last year, it didn't disappointed. Although it took about 20 minutes before we were seated, the wait was worth it. For starters I was really looking for a nice warm fall-type drink, and not seeing one on the menu, the waitress suggested a warm cider with rum concuction. With an added cinnamon stick, it just hit the spot! From the freshest seafood appetizers, salads and appetizers, all of which I sampled, met high standards. The butternut squash soup: delicious! I skipped the turkey this year and went for the prime rib (or is it roast beef), which was succulant, very flavorfull and cooked to perfection. Loved the stuffing and mashed potatoes. The dessert table is another whole treat. Set up in a seperate room, with all the selections about bite-sized, I choose a tiny lemon eclaire (yum!), a little chocolate mousse in it's own chocolate shell, and a pink macaroon. All just the right amount so that one can sample without feeling overstuffed. The staff was courtuous, efficient and always helpful. Thank you all for making it once again into a memorable holiday!

Always a fantastic dining experience at Fresh Salt! Delicious all time favorite tuba triangles, never disappoint! Followed by a lovely farm fresh fall salad with salmon. Wonderful meal with fabulous service!

Bistro Chamard never disappoints..we sat in the wine tasting room near the blazing fireplace..that room is full of ambiance..just a gorgeous room with low lightening and paneled. The salads are really special ..actually everything on the menu is special..a hidden gem of a restaurant.

Three staff is EXCELLENT!!! Everyone from the hostess, to the runners to the waiter, all fantastic! Food was VERY VERY good, great flavors. Some portions were good size, others need to be a little larger, especially based on price. Dessert, chocolate cake was Great. The alcoholic drinks are WAY TOO OVERPRICED. Would love to have had a second drink, not easy to expensive and not enough alcohol in the mixed drinks.
