22 Best Wine Bars near Madison

“Great place! Really liked the deli and pizza selection. The bar was great with large space.“

“Michael is absolutely wonderful! From walking within the establishment until leaving he was great, very informative, patient and kind! The cheese board was very good, the squash and mozzarella flatbread were good as well and the truffles were yummy! Very pleased with everything we tasted and ordered. Definitely recommend this wine tasting room!“

“This is the place for steak, I know they serve other items, however, the aged beef is just so tender and cooked to perfection. This a great place for corporate dinners or upscale birthdays to share this calm atmosphere and food properly prepared. The cost of dinner here is closer to $250 (without wine) each, when you order salad, appetizer, main course, sides and a shared dessert and this includes one alcohol containing drink and that is without a 18-22% tip for great service. You do know that, so price is expected to be high, however the mood, the food, the service leads to a special evening.“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Great food. Welcoming you from the door and checking on you throughout needs some work. Hostess wasn’t hospitable.“

“Absolutely Gorgeous Atmosphere, very inviting feeling, beautiful decor and calming ambiance. The highly attentive and extremely personable bartenders Conner and Peter truly have a welcoming and professional manner. Our experiences from walking in to exiting was extremely amazing. Thank you“

“My wife and I have been patrons and huge fans of Chez Catherine for nearly 30 years. Last Friday, we happily celebrated our 39th anniversary there with another very fine lunch. It's always a pleasure to be greeted like old friends by owner Stephane Bocket and seated at what we think is the best table in the tastefully decorated, elegant restaurant. We both chose the prix fixe menu. For starters, my wife had the always terrific moules and I a lovely mixed salad. We both chose beef bourguignons for our main course and asked Stephane to suggest wine from the by-the-glass list. His selections of a chablis for my wife and pinot noir for me worked perfectly with the outstanding bourguignons. We finished by sharing a delicious Baba au Rhum, prepared by Stephane at tableside. Dining at Chez Catherine is always a special event to us. Everything about it is first class. If you are unfamiliar with Chez Catherine, it has been one of New Jersey's Top 5 restaurants for nearly 40 years. We recommend it highly and urge lovers of fine dining to not wait but reserve a table NOW. We're sure you'll find it to be as special as we do.“

“Just a note of feedback to reviews posted recently, no one should open the restaurant early for Chiller and, no, the potential profit is NOT there. This Ruth’s Chris location is steadfast and phenomenal. The servers are excellent, knowledgeable, and dedicated. There’s a great team in the kitchen and it’s apparent in the dining experience. One doesn’t find such a long term and tenured staff at a dining establishment without the restaurant having a good reason to be honored with such retention. Also, Kasey is absolutely beautiful, so the last reviewer is probably reacting to their own bitterness and jealousy. Long term regular here, couldn’t recommend more, and I’ll never quit. Oh, and don’t pay for parking, but do go enjoy a steak served with care and hospitality.“

“Service was exceptional in a casual environment. They have an extensive menu with many options. They don't have many steak options, just Filet mignon, from what I can see. They have a sister restaurant located on the same property called Capitol Grille, which is a high end steakhouse.“

“Excellent restaurant! The staff were great, terrific atmosphere, the food was outstanding and they made my wifes birthday really special.“

“Service and food were fantastic…we will be back again. Recommend to everyone I know“

“The food is amazing and it never disappoints. Love the atmosphere and coziness of this place.“

“We had our daughter in-laws shower here ! They did a fabulous job! The food was outstanding as well as the service ! It was a perfect day ! Beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“Great food and service in a very stylish restaurant…“

“I’ve been enjoying this great local restaurant literally since the day they opened. Great pizza, pasta and entrees. Definitely one of our favorite places to eat and to get take-out from. Great service and just a well run family restaurant.“

“Food was decent and we had great table service from the bartender that was there when we were in for lunch between 11:30 and 1 PM on a Tuesday . The negative is the 4% credit card surcharge. Firstly, I don’t like that surcharge and secondly, I have not seen establishments charge 4% so that seemed excessive.“

“Good beer selection and food specials. Friendly staff.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“Don Pepe never disappoints! Their food is absolutely amazing, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and service you receive. I ordered a calamari to go, and the bartender (a super friendly guy) was fantastic. He was incredibly nice and even threw in a huge piece of bread—easily 10 inches long! Definitely enough for leftovers, which was a nice surprise. The little details like this make the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We had a reservation for Valentine's Day. We were seated, given our menus and then we waited 45 minutes and were not even served water. We left, and no one even noticed. We went and grabbed fast food instead. We have dined here previously but many years ago and enjoyed the food. Other people's food looked good. Maybe they were short staffed.“

“We really enjoyed the Sunday brunch prior to a show at Papermill. The food and service were great. The only thing that would have made it better was if the restaurant opened a little earlier. With a 1:30 show a 3 course brunch is a little rushed starting an noon. We had the maple cured bacon and hummus as the starters and the lobster bennies and the short rib fajitas as the mains. I had the flourless chocolate torte and hubby had a beverage. Very good deal for $35 per person. Definitely recommended.“

“We enjoyed ourselves for Thanksgiving dinner. Fabian our waiter was incredible. The food was good but nothing outstanding. We needed steak knives but none were out or on the table. The stuffing had an odd taste to it. The fall soup was good. Dessert were tasty as well.“
