The food was fantastic and I really appreciate a revolving and fresh menu! We ordered starters: beef tartare, deviled eggs and a brie starter. The deviled eggs and tartare were phenomenal, the brie was good but I would not order again. For entrees we had a beautiful steak and a chicken dish. Generally we do not order chicken at restaurants however the waitress said it was exceptional so we gave it a go. We were not disappointed! We got the sticky toffee pudding g for two and substituted the apple caramel ice-cream for a hazelnut ice-cream. It was very good. Lastly, the cocktails were very well made and the wine list, although small, was decent. I would definitely recommend Fairchild and I will be back.

I've been here three times already and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The presentation and flavors are top notch.

This is currently the best restaurant in Madison. The chefs here do something that is so simple, yet so rare: they put their ego aside and let the ingredients SHINE. A side squash dish, with just a few fresh ingredients, really stood out to me as one of the most memorable plates of my lifetime. Service is impeccable. The food is simply perfect. No notes. 10/10

For a birthday celebration, my husband and I finally stopped by Fairchild. He's been eyeing Fairchild since the chefs received the James Beard awards. We went in with high expectations and we were both blown away. The service was spectacular. Our server, Summer, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made some great recommendations. The food was truly something special. The ingredients were so fresh and seemed like they were hand picked for their taste and appearance. Each item in a dish was clearly intentional. There weren't sauces or little embellishments just to make the plate look nice. Every part of the dish was meant to create a whole experience, and that really made each dish really fantastic. I loved how many vegetable dishes they offered. I loved each plate but the vegetable dishes really shone the brightest. The menu changes based on what ingredients are in season, but we ordered: the Alsum Farm chilled corn soup, Maikake Tempura, Seven Seeds Organics pork trotter, Alaskan Halibut, Peterson New York strip, Green Barn charred brocolli, and Savory Accents shishito peppers. Each plate was absolutely delicious. The halibut was cooked to perfection and was the best fish I've ever had. We ordered the Brown Butter Financier - and I don't have the words to describe how unbelievable it was. Everything about it was perfect. We were given Barnard Door County Cherry Ice Cream as a birthday gift. So nice! And also insanely delish. The Fairchild hype is completely earned and legit. It's hands down the best fine dining restaurant in Madison. I can't wait until my birthday to my birthday celebration at Fairchild.

Good food. Pastas are $32,$34 & $38. Not that good.

Another 5 stars! Our absolute favorite restaurant in Madison. Make sure to go during the warmer seasons when local produce is abundant!
We went for my wife’s birthday. Shoutout to all of the employees! The kitchen staff killed it, and the ravioli was especially good. The drinks were phenomenal, and our waiter, Morgan, was a paragon of service. Could not have asked for a better all around experience.

Terrific dinner tonight with work colleagues. Delicious dishes and great service.

This place is overpriced. My duck ragu was excellent, and so was the lobster bisque. But the steak was just so-so -- not very tender or flavorful -- and for $54 it should be more than so-so. The Brussels sprouts were tasty, but nothing we couldn't make at home. Excellent service and a nice place. Just not worth the high prices.

This place came highly recommended from a friend. It didn’t disappoint. The deviled eggs… who knew they could taste so good. The Lobster Bisque, I don’t even have words. Unexpected and absolutely amazing. Had the Duck as an entree and it was, to say the least, untraditionally spectacular. You get what you pay for, and while you’ll spend some money at Fairchild, you won’t be disappointed. Maybe the best food in Madison.

Great food in a casual atmosphere, but excessively expensive for what you get. It feels like a place that should be a neighborhood restaurant but has become a special destination dining experience due to it's fame and James Beard recognition.
