We sat at the bar with Ian and Izzy and tried the tasting menu. Everything was excellent, especially the fois gras, duck and cod. We did the drink pairing which was a great touch. The bartenders were welcoming and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was chill and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the tasting menu if you’re in from out of town. You get to try a lot of the menu.

Just the best restaurant ever. The servers and bartenders are so kind and helpful. The food was beyond excellent with many options for dietary restrictions. I sat at the bar when I ate and received the full service experience as if I had a table. Bartender knows his beer too!

Overall I was impressed with the meals we had. The only thing that needs tweaking is the beets and my cod dish was a bit cold. But other then that it was worth the hour and a half drive

I went with a group of 4 and it was fun. We looked over the menu and decided to do the 4 course menu, where each person gets an appetizer, pasta dish, main entree, and dessert. The food was great and it was awesome to have each of them to share among ourselves, but what wasn't made clear is that they only brought out 3/4 of the mains. We thought they would come back with the 4th but it never arrived so when we asked they mentioned something about them being bigger plates and consolidating. Honestly I would have been ok with that if it was said upfront, and it was still enough food for all of us and worth it for the price, I just felt like it was a bit dishonest that when we get 4 4-couse meals there was no mention that we wouldn't have 4 mains.
Other than that the experience and atmosphere were good, so just make sure to check that you will actually get what you are expecting as to not be disappointed

Ordered the 4 course meal. Yes, we can count to 4. Where was the 4th main course for our table?
Food was good but very cloying and unbalanced with the constant stream of fattiness. None of the dishes were acidic enough to balance it.
I would not recommend buying the mains, get pastas and starters. And definitely do not get the 4 course tasting menu in a table of 4.

Excellent- start to finish. Don’t miss the foie gras- it’s almost like a dessert

Absolutely fantastic food and service! You must try one of their AMAZING cocktails, the bar staff are just gifted mixologists!!! Our waitress, Alexis, took really good care of us. This was our first time to A Pig in a Fur Coat and it is a MUST if you are coming to Madison! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

Delicious hidden gem! Food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing.
The waitress excellent, the food depends. Octopus really nice, dry aged meat in my opinion was low quality, overcooked and I didn't notice the "dry-aged" touch.
This is my favorite place in Madison. The food and service is always impeccable. Thank you!

The food was terrible, overpriced and entirely inappropriate for “fine dining”
The Oregntana tasted like mediocre fish cakes. All of the listed ingredients were entirely lost in smoke and salmon.
The raviolo was bland. no creativity, no interesting flavors. Everything was overshadowed by parmesan and bacon that ultimately defined the dish.
But none of this would have led me to waste my time writing this review had it not been for the “salmon collars.”
When I received the plate, I actually looked up, wondering whether there’s a hidden camera and a giggling crew waiting to pop around the corner.
These were salmon “bits” suitable for fish stock.
I was so stunned I immediately tried some, thinking to myself perhaps there’s a hidden delicacy here, something I have yet to try having dined in dozens of fine restaurants all over the country.
No. I found exactly what one would expect. Salmon. Salmon drenched in duck fat, but salmon nonetheless.
That dish was a spit in the face! 45 dollars to literally eat scraps! Feeding people salmon fins isn’t sophistication, it’s an insult to dinners’ intelligence.

Always an amazing culinary experience. I love the chef tasting menu with the wine pairing. Chef Dan is so creative with food combinations and the presentation is extraordinary. And their Gluten Free accomodations are on par with the rest of the offerings.
The latest dessert, the slow baked peaches was mind blowing.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crackers with the bison tartar.
