“Hands down amazing. We’ve tried most of the menu and it’s all lived in my head rent-free!“

“If you want good old fashioned Chinese-American, this is the place to go. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is friendly and obliging. Authentic regional Chinese is great, but sometimes nothing hits the spot like this kind of Chinese comfort food.“

“Everything was fantastic! Our server made us feel very special and champagne on them for our Valentine's Day date was very sweet. My only complaint is the noise level, but not much you can do about that! What's important is you're busy, thanks for a great night!“

“The service and food were excellent!! Highly recommend! If you haven't tried this Steak house, you definitely should.“

“40th Wedding Anniversary celebration and it was the perfect choice for the special event. Buffet included brisket, chicken, cheesy has towns, beans, and coleslaw. The food was mouth watering, service was friendly and speedy, and everyone left smiling and with full bellies. North South, you did not disappoint! Thank you for going above and beyond to capture this day-we are grateful for YOU!“

“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“

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

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

“We love all Sal's locations. The downtown space was perfect for our group of hungry parents between shuttling our kids to homecoming events. The food was delicious as always, and the staff was fantastic and welcoming. Thanks so much for great hospitality!“

“This is one of the few restaurants I've been to in the last 5yrs that I believe deserves 5stars! Went for our anniversary. The sweet little waitress was extremely friendly and accommodating. The waitress and chef even brought out complimentary champagne to help us celebrate our day along with a card and gift card for our next visit! The seafood was reasonably priced and very yummy. The feel of the place is cool, elegant and laid-back somehow all at the same time. Definitely recommend!“

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

“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.“

“As east coast transplants, we always have the searchlight out for great fish and shellfish. We didn't need to look any farther than The Seafood Center. Whatever they don't have at any given time, they can special order for you. We're at the counter around three times per week. Bravo.“

“Had an amazing night out at Johnnys. Our waiter Ryan was attentive, kind and so accommodating. He truly made our dinner experience the best. Great recommendations and super friendly. Johnnys is lucky to have him for sure! Delicious food and great cocktails. Will be back soon!“

“Their sides are so tasty, even the most devoted carnivores might be caught sneaking a forkful.“

“Food is all around solid. Ordering is table side via qr code and they bring it to your table pretty quickly (~3-5 minutes this visit).

The Apex galbi, bulgogi, and chicken bulgogi are all good. Definitely get some of the vegetables as well, they're a good balance to a very meat heavy meal. Price as of writing is $35 for 90 minutes of all you can eat, so it's not cheap but you can leave as full as you want to. Our server was great in offering us suggestions and bringing out a small sample of the more Korean desserts so we could try them.

Overall a solid recommend but come hungry“

“A top-tier steakhouse with a gourmet menu and pairing options for wine selections.“

“Great steak, even better lobster mac & cheese, which was so delightful after a long day. But I’m telling you whatever you do… Do not let them talk you into getting the A2 steak sauce. They convinced me A2 was better than A1 sauce, it’s not, and then they charged me for it. Beware.“

“Best Poke in Madison - I keep trying others but none compare. Highly recommend the Hawaii green bowl.“

“Tried this spot for the first time today—so good! Every dish our fam ordered was packed with flavor, super affordable, and the service was awesome. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Fabulous place, omg the view of the capital is amazing“

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

“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.“

“Food and service were excellent. Beautiful decor.“

“Can’t say enough about the quiet, easy, lunch experience for a 83 birthday for a Japanese man who has international experience in Asian cuisine. Free appetizer comes with birthday lunch. He chose barbecued Short ribs with honey sauce and I had one of their 4 buns with a creamy custard center and flaky skin over soft bun. The Peking Duck was the reason we came and it was perfect. Tender duck carved and laid over lettuce with each slice offering the crispy crust so hard to get right while keeping the meat perfect. The platter was decorated with 8 double buns and accompanied by a gallon of savory duck soup with the bones, cabbage, greens, onions and seasoning perfect. I had beef with onions, rice, and shared the soup. The music and service were ideal. It took almost as long to choose from the extensive menu as it did to enjoy the meal.“

“The prime rib was as good as you get to night. It was a real high quality piece of beef cooked to perfection. I'll be back.“

“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.“

“Love Portabella - food, atmosphere and service. The fact that developers from Texas want to tear it down and put up high-rise apartments makes me want to throw up. Call the city of Madison zoning board and tell them you don’t want that restaurant destroyed.“
