About One & Only

The One & Only restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin offers a varied dining experience with a focus on meat dishes. The atmosphere is described as great, with a sleek and austere decor, though some find the new chairs and stools to be heavy and uncomfortable.

The menu features delicious options such as the NY strip steak and the flavorful chicken parmesan special. The appetizers are also praised as being consistently delicious and varied. While the cocktails and drinks are excellent, the food portions are noted to be quite small, especially for the price. Desserts are a mixed bag, with the key lime pie being a favorite, but the bread pudding receiving a less enthusiastic response.

Parking can be a bit of a challenge, with street parking generally available before 6 PM, but becoming more crowded in the evenings. Overall, the One & Only is a medium to higher-end restaurant that offers a solid dining experience, particularly for meat-lovers, though some guests may find the portions and pricing to be less than satisfactory.
