Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Madison South

We each had something different , bananas foster, pancakes with apple/ cranberry crumble, seasonal vegetable scramble and every dish was welcomed wit a “oh, you have to try a bite!” Thank you, I try to bring my family once each holiday season.

Delicious food, especially for the cost. The bartender was our server. Very helpful, great service. Deviled eggs are insane. Beet salad was a genius combo of flavors and the ny strip was tender and juicy. I advise getting it med or med rare.

When we travel from Seattle to Portland we always try to have a dinner at Nostrana, The food is simply prepared and perfect every time we have had dinner. They serve a wide range of people from dating couples to oldsters like us. Drinks and wine also very well chosen and well prepared. Service is attentive. Be sure to get a reservation !

Have eaten at Salty's for many years, both in Portland and at the Seatle location. I can't remember ever having a bad meal, the menu and quality of the food is always superb. The wait staff at our recent dinner was very efficient and pleasant to interact with, we tipped accordingly. We would strongly recommend to anyone desiring a "first class" experience and delicious meal to visit either location.

We arrived earlier than our 5:30pm reservation but were still graciously seated, and immediately told about the “Golden Hour.” Our kind and informative server was thoughtfully descriptive when telling us about particular menu items we had questions about (e.g. Sambal flight), as well as made the recommendation of ordering rice with the Grilled Banana Leaf Black Cod (which was definitely appreciated), and checked in with us throughout the meal with perfect timing. We all agreed that every dish was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the Chinese Sausage & Shrimp Siu Mai w/spicy mustard, the Zucchini & Corn Fritter, and the Dry Aged Steak Tartare. The decor of the restaurant was colorful and eclectic which created a comfortable non-pretentious vibe. We look forward to our next visit!
