Excellent service and food! Great place for a nice dinner when visiting your UW student.

We arrived early and had a drink at the bar. Bartender was great. We had questions on the drinks and she answered them. Drinks were perfect. Once seated our waitress was prompt and knowledgeable of the menu. We had drunken shrimp for our appetizer. It was perfect, shrimp were not rubbery and plenty of sauce for dipping. We had chicken piccata and chicken Madeira. Both were perfect. How they cook the chicken so tender is beyond belief. The piccata is in a lemon sauce with capers over angel hair pasta. If you like a citrus flavored sauce get this. It is amazing. The Madeira has a savory mushroom gravy with it which was so flavorful served with silky mashed potatoes and asparagus. It is a little loud but nothing to concerning. Food came out fast and perfect. Our reservation was at 5:30 and we left at 6:15. Food was served fast and hot. We will be back soon! Drinks were great, food was great and staff was great. Highly recommend!

What an incredible restaurant!! We were visiting Madison and Lucille was recommended to us by a friend. The restaurant is beautiful and we loved the vibe. The servers were so wonderful. And the food!! We got the Queen pizza and the cheese curds. Highly recommend Lucille. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Wow—how have I not been to Merchant sooner?! I’m actually mad at myself for missing out on this gem for so long. From the very first bite, I knew I was in for something special. We started with the deviled eggs, which were the perfect way to warm up for the main event—just enough to tease the taste buds without spoiling the appetite. But the real star? The shrimp cakes. Hands down, one of the best things I’ve eaten in Madison! Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside—every bite was next-level delicious. On top of the phenomenal food, the atmosphere was just as impressive. The stylish decor and intimate vibe made for an amazing dinner date, elevating the entire experience. I’m officially hooked. I’ll be coming back again and again to work my way through the menu, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for incredible food in Madison. If you haven’t been to Merchant yet—go ASAP. You won’t regret it!

Always enjoy an evening at Eno Vino. The service was great and the food was delicious!
