“Great experience…everything from the ambiance to the waitstaff to the drinks, appetizers, entree, desserts and coffee were amazing!“

“Everything was phenomenal, my family and I were very pleased! We tried the catfish appetizers, as well as the cheesecurds and fried pickles….all delicious!! Brisket was absolutely delicious as well as the pulled pork! We will definitely be back when we’re in Madison! Our fave place now“

“Best poke place in Madison. Period. Everything is always super fresh and they really top your bowl to the brim. I love that they don't have a limit on toppings so I don't have to choose between all my favorites. Even though a bowl is pretty filling, I always save room for their shaved ice or pineapple dole whip.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian proteins as well

Dietary restrictions: Everything is clearly marked. Most of the options are gluten free“

“Very good seafood boil! Very fresh and great service!!“

“Amazingly fresh seafood and beautifully done steaks with equally great side dishes, large enough to share! Go early and take advantage of their fabulous happy hour drinks and apps. Always a good time and a local favorite. Top notch service as well. Recommend for a night out, date night or special occasion.“

“This is a really good buffet. It has a sushi bar. Then a salad bar. They had a big selection of food. The crab Ragoon tasted old however the egg rolls were phenomenal. The have a hibachi Grille and a pho station. Dessert had a bunch of cakes and things plus ice cream.“

“I was Traveling for work and had a seafood itch. It's Sunday, so brunch is an option. Everything looked so good I had a hard time choosing. So I went with a seared tuna appetizer and boom boom shrimp Benedict, know it was too much food but why not its a holiday for me today. Oh, and a spicy, bloody marry. To wash it down. Haven't gotten my food, but by the taste of the bloody Mary and the atmosphere, I'm ready to rate and recommend

It's not a bad Sunday. 10\10“

“Amazing fish fry! Madison’s best kept secret. I recommend the catch of the day. I happened to get tilapia, swordfish and salmon. This is a must when visiting Madison. No seating so find a nice park or relax in your car. Wonderful service, fast and hot. Pictures= #1 catch of the day and #2 calamari“

“For starters, we were treated to an excellent show comprised of two of the best bluesmen in the Midwest, Westside Andy & Glenn Davis. The food was amazing and service was prompt and courteous. I’ve been a restauranteur for over 40 years. Otto’s knocked it out of the park. We will most definitely be returning.“

“I’ve always loved Muramoto! Can’t go wrong for fantastic sushi!“

“Excellent food and service. We will be back“

“Food is amazing. Always hot and fresh! Best chicken and ribs hands down! Mild Sauce and hand cut fries! The sides are sooo good as well. I have had the dressing, yams, mac n cheese and spaghetti. Also the best catfish I have ever had. The only issue I have when I go there is deciding what to order because everything is so good. Even the next day the chicken and fries are good cold lol! Also they are very friendly. My entire family loves this place we drive from Beaver Dam weekly to eat here!“

“GREAT seafood! The house sauce is delicious and the snow crab legs are always amazing! Only issue I have is they advertise “fried scallops” as an appetizer for $8-$9 dollars, but it’s not actual scallops. The texture, taste and appearance is similar to the Krab (aka pulverized white fish and starch). Which would be IF that’s what actual scallop lovers and seafood eaters were expecting. When brought to the waitresses attention, she simply walked away to get the bill I requested without explanation. All in all, I’ll be back, but I’ll never order the “scallops” again.“

“Muy buena comida y atención !!!“

“I had an excellent lunch here. I took the servers recommendations and had BBQ Pork Crepe, Baked Creamy Egg Yolk Bun (which was excellent), Short Rib with Honey Sauce (also excellent), Chicken Feet with Special Sauce (first time trying, but was good), and Siu Mai. The chili crisp also helped add flavor to the milder tasting dishes.“

“We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to the One and Only for hosting an incredible elopement dinner for our family! Robin was fantastic in helping us plan details and menu selections ahead of time, ensuring a seamless experience for our guests. We enjoyed the Deviled Eggs, Roasted Red Pepper Dish, and were delighted by the complimentary Roasted Green Bean Salad from the Chef. All three dishes were absolutely delicious!

For our main courses, we had the Stacked Burger, Scallops, Steak, and Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders. Each dish was beautifully plated and generously portioned. Our server and other staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

We had little ones in our party, and they were very accommodating by providing highchairs, a children’s menu, and kid-friendly cups. Additionally, we had a guest in a wheelchair, and the space was accessible for them, which was great.

Thank you so much for hosting us! We highly recommend the One and Only to anyone looking to host an event.“

“Wonderful experience from start to finish. Every detail attended to. Dinner (prime) was delish. The goulash soup was superb. Not rundown at ALL as in previous reviews. Our waitress was phenomenal serving 15 of us. Bar staff very attentive to customers at bar. I highly recommend!! Worth the drive from Milwaukee!! Thank you!!“

“I am not a regular customer of this establishment, but normally received decent service when I do order until today. I always get the same thing and don't necessarily stray away from my normal order when I do come here. I would order a 6 piece chicken/6 piece fish combo which comes with fries and drink and add our own condiments. The meal normally comes out to $21.99 and with taxes $23.20. But I was charged $25 and some change. The price didn't sounded right and asked for a breakdown in charges. The cashier proceed to show me the cash register to demonstrate no errors occurred. But it shows the original amount of $23.20 (normal price with taxes as original stated). The cashier claim that price shown is the price only for the chicken, then proceeded in trying to convince me that because I wanted a combo meal (fries and drink) that an additional $2.00 will be added. I needed to double check my transaction history and statement to reconfirm the details, where I confirmed that I paid $23.50 in the past. I do not like shady business practices in which businesses are taking advantage and over charging minorities who are primarily black customers because these types of restaurants are in black communities. I noticed that recently received PPP with an upward of $9500 for their business. If you choose to continue going to this place, please get a receipt and ask questions and advocate for yourself. It isn't right when minorities have been heavy impacted by the pandemic with health and financially.“

“I have Celiac's so I cannot eat here or pretty much at any Chinese restaurant. My husband likes the food and the speed in which your order is ready. Large portions for a decent price. Since it's only a carry out or delivery restaurant, there really isn't an atmosphere.“

“First time experience and will return!! Was seated quickly as walk-in . The facility is a bit worn from years of service. However the host who doubled as wait person was polite , knowledgeable and efficient!! The food was delicious!! Well worth a try, particularly if you enjoy Italian.“
