Sardine was absolutely perfect. We went on a busy Sunday morning- and we had made no reservations! It was bustling inside. We got seated immediately at a communal table with the warning that the communal table turns into a reserved table at a certain time. They also promised that if we were still there when that happened they would move us. When that time approached the waitstaff smoothly moved us and our stuff to a neighboring two top. The food!!! Having worked in a high end patisserie in NYC we had some pretty high standards and Sardine was exceptional. I felt transported back to NYC and Paris. The marshmallow on the hot chocolate was incredible. The oysters were absolutely delicious and sweet. Our Croque Madams were exactly what we were missing. Everything was perfect.

Love everything about this place , food , atmosphere, great menu . Except for the difficulty of getting to it ! I have lived on the east side of Madison for 50 years and I still can never figure out the best approach to get to sardine!

Awesome food especially the mussels and fries and oysters. Great drinks especially the martinis and old fashions. Staff is very nice and friendly. Cool vibe with the atmosphere.

A fun place for brunch. The expresso martini is phenomenal 😍. And the charcuterie board has a nice selection.

This was a classy little place for brunch. Gorgeous inside and well-lit. It would be perfect for a grad dinner! I’d book a reservation ahead of time next time I go

Excellent views of the water. Everything we had was excellent and we made sure that everyone got to taste of each other's dishes because they were that good. I really enjoyed their signature mussel dish, the Moules Frites Mussels. It was like nothing I ever had before.

Great spot! The croissant is light and flaky. The salmon appetizer was really tasty and the pops of acidity from the pomegranate seeds was wonderful! We enjoyed the lamb sausage, but the grits have some room to improve. Those aren't the creamy grits I'm used to in the south. We also had the pear crepe for dessert and would definitely recommend. I did wish it was slightly warm, but the flavors were great. Service was fantastic. Sadie was so sweet and attentive- she is absolutely lovely!
