Overpriced mediocre food. “Grilled beets” seemed straight out of a can. Mussels were very good; the toasted bread, dipped in the mussel sauce, was the best food of the night. We ordered one dish too many, but the tab, compared with other fine dining restaurants in the area, was shockingly high for this caliber of food. Probably a better place to go for drinks and a snack than for a meal.

You can't go wrong ordering any item on the menu. The food is delish. We tried the flat breads for the first time and was so excited we did. Will be a new staple to our usual order.

Our server was Horrible. She took our orders , others served the food. Then she ghosted us for 48 minutes. No one came to check on us , or ask if we needed Anything! Saw her talking with other servers . Had to Flagg her down with 2 of us waving arms high in the air to get our checks.
Opentable Diner
The food was ok. The best thing we had was the risotto and the duck empanadas. Tapas restaurants are faced with the challenge of doing several genres of food really well. Unfortunately, there were a lot of technical errors in the food, balance of flavors etc.

Eno Vino West Madison NEVER disappoints. We have been dining here - eat in & takeout - for 8 years. The late-nite menu is a plus, especially when we have late flights into Madison, and just want to pick up delicious food on the way home. 5-Stars, all day.

I had a reservation and when I arrived the hostess tried to tell me I didn't have a reservation. Some of my party got there before me and they were seated indicating my reservation. The background music was too loud. The food was good, but not much of it for the price which I was aware of. Nice time, but not overly impressed.

The food was delicious, as always. A bit on the meager amount for some of the starters - the bruschetta were absolutely tiny. But, still very tasty. However, we sat at our table for 20 minutes before anyone came to even pour our water. It was indeed crowded, but having to flag down a waitress after that long of a wait? Not acceptable. I would suggest not going on a Saturday evening!

Eno Vino west is not what it used to be. Overpriced food & drink. Staff look unkept & have little to no personality. 7-10 years ago this place was fire. Disappointing to see what it's become. Sad.

Unfortunately, while we dined there was an electrical issue which caused smoke to come out of the vents. It took close to 10 mins for the manager to let everyone know to evacuate and have the FD come. We all stood outside for close to 30 mins until the restaurant was cleared and we were allowed back in. Prior to evacuation we were in the middle of a course. Upon returning inside, our waitress came and removed the cold food (which we had not finished) and we ordered 3 additional tapas. She delivered 2, then came asking about dessert. We requested our missing tapa, she apologized and brought new place settings. She returned again asking about dessert and leaving the check. At this point we had ordered the missing food 3 times. When reviewing the bill, we found it had included the charge for the food. We requested that charge removed since we never received it and we paid and left. We never received an apology or visit by manager or anything related to the inconvenience of standing in the cold for 30m either. Many patrons left during that time and sadly we probably should have also. The food we did eat was delicious but due to the service we won't be returning anytime soon.
Natalie was very sweet & accommodating. She helped me find a dessert I could have that was gluten free! I also recommend the crispy lobster & street corn :)
Overall, amazing atmosphere & vibes here. Definitely try the new fall drinks; so yummy!

Service was catastrophically poor, along with atmosphere and ambience.
Served by Jen M? Indicated on my reservation that it was a 30th birthday celebration and there was zero acknowledgement of that and no suggestion if birthday dessert to make it special. Server didn't bother highlighting featured menu items or explaining the menu even a little, and couldn't be bothered to fully clear the table or go around the kitchen to hand us plates etc from the aisle. For how upscale the restaurant is supposed to be, this was a huge let down. You get better service at Chick fil A. I hate to say it, but prejudice may have played a role here because the same server was much better to the non-minority family folks seated beside us, explained menu highlights, checked on them multiple times, and even asked if they're celebrating anything special. It's 2024, why are we still here ... 🙄
In any case, the food was pretty decent, though I'd stay away from the crispy lobster - definitely a disappointment there. Overall, I would stick with the downtown EnoVino location if considering an upscale night out. It's harder to book so try to book way in advance, but it's a significantly better experience.

The service was attentive without being overbearing. The meal was wonderful. The tomato soup was the best I have ever had. Nothing was disappointing. When we come back to the area, we will definitely return.

I had some pretty good food! The wine was also very good. I have been to a couple tapas places, I do wish the food came out sporadically rather than all at once, like last night. But otherwise a very nice dinner :)
