Restaurants in Monona

“Where to begin? Today we held my daughter's baby shower in the lower level. We had around 60 guests and the space was amazing. We ordered off of the catering menu and it was delicious....especially the firecracker shrimp. Mimosa bar was gorgeous. However the best part was the staff. The two ladies that we mainly worked with were so amazing. Professional, friendly, and their service far exceeded expectations. The price was reasonable and well worth it with the fresh amazing food. Thank you for making her day very special.”

“Italian deli, check! If you're looking for it, they've got it. With all their offerings it would be easy to pass over their frozen zas, but they are worth taking home too.”

“We had our three year old sons birthday party here. The staff was very accommodating. We got pizza, subs and appetizers. Everything was excellent. After dinner we moved to the arcade and it was a blast! Thank you for making his special day. A great experience for everyone!”

“We got two pies from Salvatore's yesterday; veggie and Fat Uncle Tony. The veggie was AMAZING! The beet pesto along with the golden beets and goat cheese was such an delicious flavor combination. Between two pies we had more than enough to feed our family of two adults and two young kids. We highly recommend Salvatore's, and will be back soon!”

“Never a bad experience here. Absolutely wonderful staff - top notch. Great service - and super super quick! Delicious cocktails and the best, best, BEST Chipotle Southwest Salad. It’s my current hyper-fixation meal but from time to time, I like to spice it up with the delicious Steak Tacos and Poke Bowl! A lot of great menus items ranging from their signature dishes to seasonal dishes. Me and my boyfriend always say we should try new places, but can’t resist not coming here!”

“I was on a road trip, and was staying down the street. I was having a real craving for Indian food, and passed by Swad earlier. I am so happy I did!The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They took my to go order, and I picked it up 20 minutes later.I ordered some cheese pakoras, garlic naan and mutter paneer. It was all perfectly seasoned, and the spice level was great! It could have even been spicier, but they didn’t know me, so I understand!Great, friendly service. There was even some gratis! Highly recommend!”

“We had a terrible experience. We went to celebrate my husband birthday. Although we made reservations, we had to wait for a table. The appetizer (Arancini) was bland and didn't taste like risotto. Main dishes were fine. We also order ceasar side salad and a house side salad. For desserts we order cannoli and lava cake. I had better cannoli in other area restaurants, but the lava cake was cold and dry. There was no lava or moisture on the cake. When we got the check, the ceasar salad price was $12.00 and the house salad was $8.00. According to the menu a side salad was $3.50 with the main dish. When we complained about the salad prices, we were told that we didn't order the house salad at the same time the waitress took the order, and they dont have a side ceasar salad. When they noticed our disappointment and frustration they offer to fix the ticket but It was too late for us, we just wanted to get out of the restaurant.”

“Placed our order on the website-super easy to customize and make choices. Order was ready, with no errors when we arrived 25 minutes later. We ate in the store and it was clean and well stocked. AND the food was delish, and a great value for the price. Yayy!”

“This place has some of the BEST coffee in Madison. But the real reason I'll keep coming back is because of the OUTSTANDING customer service. Lucy remembered me and my coffee order after only one visit!! This will forever be one of my favorite spots!”

“Generous portions, delicious flavors, quick service. The crab rangoon isn't very flavorful.. I probably wouldn't order it again but everything else was great!”

“Breakwater was the right place to celebrate my dad's birthday party. Hollywood and staff provided excellent service and food at reasonable prices! The party room was set up beautifully and Hollywood provided welcoming and bar signs, a large screen to project photos, lovely table settings in a perfect setting! Guests loved the food and everyone had a wonderful time! Great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

“Every time I visit here, I witness how all the bartenders, servers and cooks work so hard especially Nichole, Alley and Artie. Even during the busy happy hour time, they are polite and always looking out for you. All you have to do is be patient and they will get to you. It's hard to find parking during happy hour but their specials are hard to beat.”

“The food was delicious, portions were generous, and good prices. We had the Sunday night chicken dinner special, and the pork dinner. Both were amazing and just what we wanted.”

“We ordered a few items so we could try different things. OMG first off the portions were huge and so delicious!! The young men working the food cart were extremely courteous and friendly. We will definitely be back!!”

“We had the brisket macaroni and cheese. It was soo good.Parking: Lots of room and the lot attaches to the menards lot so you can bring a pickup and Trailer, it would be tight for a semi.”

“Portland style coffee house in Madison.... great place to bring a laptop on rainy day and spend a few hours. Love the outdoor deck on sunny days...excellent coffee too!”

“Amazing service Liv was our server she was very courteous and prompt checked on us several times . Several Managers also stopped and checked on us. The food was delicious my burger was cooked the way I ordered and husband had a new dish Salmon and he said it was fabulous . We will be back again .”

“I have to start this by saying I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep this place secret to myself, but because I'm disabled and have rarely been treated so well despite the issues I have I needed to leave this review.I have brain damage and it can sometimes be very difficult for me to understand what's going on around me, My first time coming here I was not able to get a drink because they are cash only, the man behind the bar repeated himself for me many times so I could understand what was going on, he was incredibly kind to me even though he knew long before i did that I didn't have the means to pay. Great experience.Then the second time I came I knew to bring cash and again the man behind the bar was very nice to me and made sure he understood what I wanted to drink. (Which can be hard because of my speech)On top of all that the atmosphere is very nice, giving the feeling that you have been to this bar a million times and made many great memories there, the pours are HEAVY, you don't want a double lol, and the other guests are respectful and kind.I really enjoyed the fact that I could come here alone and just be left alone which I find to be harder and harder to find in a bar. Sometimes you just need to be alone with your thoughts and this is a fantastic place to go for that too. In the end I really can't say enough good things about this place and highly recommend everybody to come have a drink here.”

“Antler's has always been one of my dad's favorite bars. I took it upon myself to throw him a surprise party and I knew that would be the perfect place. The owner met with me prior and was more than willing to help me with everything. Also, allowed me to decorate the place exactly how I wanted. If you're looking for a place to throw a party at this is the perfect spot. This process truly could not have gone smoother. I would recommend Antler's to anybody, it is such a good atmosphere, and is so much fun!”

“I think the tomato soup was straight out of a can, but I never asked before I ordered it. Either way the grilled cheese and tomato soup were great comfort food.”

“This place looked awesome inside and the food was great. Unfortunately the gentleman that waited on us was seriously a disappointment! Never got a hello or smile. Handed the menus and asked what we wanted to drink. He got our drinks and if we were ready to order. Uh can we have a min!? Very dull when asked a question. Still no smile at all. Apparently before serving our food he was leaving. Never came and said a goodbye or he was leaving and someone else would be taking over etc. Nothing. So his service SUCKED!!! The girl that took over for him was exceptional!!! Kudos to her!”

“Happy wok has been one of my favorite Chinese restaurants for as long as I can remember. They have some of the best fried rice. Happy wok will always be my go to when it comes to Chinese food.”
