“always solid pizza, great crust!“

“Great food and service! Very friendly atmosphere.“

“Our class recently held our 50th high school reunion at this revnue! They did a fantastic job setting up the room and meeting our needs! We've held previous reunions here and will definitely come back again. Thanks to the owners and staff for making our MG reunion a great success!“

“We love Swad! We are so grateful to live so close to it! I’ve never had a bad meal here. Five stars! Very much recommend!“

“Delicious! I'm so glad I tried this place. Amazing flavor, gluten free choices, healthy, and SO yummy!!!“

“Food was great. They were so friendly. We are looking forward to the next time we are in town so we can try some more of the menu“

“I ordered takeout today for dinner tonight and everything I had was delicious! I ordered the Shrimp Poboy with Mac-n-Cheese, Carolina Reaper Drummies, and Cheese Curds. I of course had to have a bite of everything before driving home and ended up putting it in the trunk so that I wouldn't eat it all on the way. Everything I had was very flavorful and drummies were excellently spicy! Even though it was 5 hours ago now, I have to say I think everything traveled well and was just as tasty as my first bites. The menu is big with a lot of options for every kind of eater. My only regret is not getting more! I can't wait to go back and try the Reuben and Gyro!! 10/10 Highly Recommend!“

“We had heard good things about Lallande and we were not disappointed. We ate at the bar which I would highly recommend. Our server was Nina and she made the evening fun. I had the salmon and my husband had the lamb chops. Generous portions and absolutely delicious. We also had the chicken pate which was so good. But the highlight for us was the carrot tarte. A must have, if you go.The owner Ann Marie was working in the kitchen keeping all the balls in the air, but she took time to visit with us and made us feel extra welcome. Do yourself a favor and dine at Lallande on Monroe St. Perhaps we'll see you there because we'll be back! Five stars.“

“Always amazing here. Food , atmosphere, staff, and great cocktails to boot.“

“Classic must try pizzeria. Absolutely delicious, they come up with great pie ideas and they are ALL hits. Their service is impeccable and their excellent cocktails give the experience the cherry on top . To add to that the prices are super reasonable. Great atmosphere, can't recommend this enough. It's become a go to return spot over the years, wether I go for a nice dinner with my partner, or getting "fancy" pizza and drinks with friends, this is the place to go.“

“Dined here for lunch today and loved the vegan options! Menu is clearly marked so we didn’t have to modify anything, which was highly refreshing. Shout out to Living on the Veg sushi set and the crunch salad, both solid choices. Bright and welcoming interior, with equally welcoming staff! We will be back again and again. Take no shiitake🍄“

“Had a great dinner on a Saturday night. Dined at a late seating and staff was very friendly and welcoming. Dishes were great, the deviled eggs were a great starter for our table and the entrees were big portions with a lot going on (on a good way). The farm to table and seasonal ingredients really accompanied the main proteins. I had schnitzel which was great. Others had the massive ribeye for 2 and boullabaisse and everyone enjoyed their meals.
Would done here again next time we visit Madison.“

“We were in town for a concert and stopped here on our way back home. The food and service were top notch! Very fresh tasting food and amazing coffee!! It was a happy accident we ended here from a random apple map search. So glad we stumbled upon them!“

“Absolutely amazing. The sushi is so fresh and the flavors are unique and delicious. I’ve come here a hand full of times for special occasions and it never fails to impress! The cocktails are also phenomenal.
We love!! Highly recommend.“

“We love bringing out of town friends to Sal's. We had the Valentine's menu and it was the best food we've had in years! Tameka was amazing and the food came out so quick. Clean plates all day!“

“Service during happy hour was perfect. Loved Kate❤️“

“Friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere“

“My partner and I were by Batch Bakehouse yesterday and are new to the area, so decided to stop in. It was the end of the day, so immediately the employees were apologetic about the "limited amount of items available". There were PLENTY of items available and every one of them was absolutely delicious. We were able to try their butterscotch chocolate chip bars, salted caramel brownies, and two of their cupcake flavors. We are typically not dessert people, but absolutely cannot wait to return, due to the unparalleled baked goods and the exceptional customer service! I wish I had gotten the names of the people who helped us, so whoever was there at 1 PM yesterday thank you!!“

“I’ve been here about10x and have never been disappointed . Lots of yummy veganized options of classic meaty items“

“First time Celiac visiting and oh my gosh.... best gf bakery I've had and there isn't a worry that I will get sick because it's a dedicated gf facility! Staff was super friendly and if it's your first visit, you even get a free sample of their fab chocolate. Will definitely be back!“

“Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and very nice staff.“

“We had Greenbush Bakery Doughnuts for dessert at our wedding and they were such a hit! 10/10 recommend. Amazing service, delicious & beautiful doughnuts! Such a fun treat that everyone raved about!“

“Great chicken and love the chicha morada“

“This is an amazing place to try! I have been coming here and bring guest to try all the time. I recommend Phing alla ( savory crepe), any thaali (rice platter; also very fun to eat) and mango lassi! Any of the momo. I like veg momo with green jhol. Their stir-fry noodle is made in-house so you cannot go wrong with that. Also best drink to drink with momo or stir-fry is cold Coco-cola!“

“Muy buena comida muy acogedor ambiente muy tranquilo me encanta,“

“Very creamy, rich, and good ice cream. Lots of flavors with cool names and reasonable prices. My favorite in the whole world was Mint Chocolate Ribbon which is discontinued. It is SO much better than mint chocolate chip which was still good. Please bring it back!“

“The best sandwiches I’ve found in madison. Chill atmosphere, incredible food. Probably the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. All I wanted today was a sandwich and couldn’t have prepared for the absolute beauty that was placed in front of me, quite quickly I might add. Check this place out or you’re absolutely missing out!“

“This cafe has many delicious options for food. It however does not have celiac safe options. The cross contamination is too high. They do note this if you call them by stating that they can't guarantee there isn't. But I would not eat here if you have celiacs because I did twice and it made me incredibly sick. Again the food in my opinion is delicious, it just isn't celiacs safe.“

“Everything was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. Flavors were well balanced, ingredients were fresh. Will definitely go back.“

“Highly recommend!!! Great place!!! Very beautiful ambience 🤩 so awesome I’d recommend everything as they have a lovely menu with delicious foods and beverages especially love their Boba 🧋 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I wish I had taken this photos of the food before I dug in. Delicious chilequiles, and even better ranchos huervos. The food is extremely fresh and flavorful. It's a unique take on something I've seen in every form, but they get it right with little surprises in every bite. Do yourself a favor and get the orange juice. The fresh sweetness really helps stabilize the slight spice and heaviness of the food.“

“One of my favorite foods is pastys, I was excited to learn about this place, otherwise you would find them normal in the u.p area of Wisconsin. All of the varieties are great! Had the chicken tikka masala one today, was awesome! I do like they wrap it in foil, because my 40min drive home it's still warm!“

“Adorable place with delicious food! My husband born and raised Texas, who loves his meat and is skeptical of anything vegan , actually asked to come back to this place because it was so good.

There was only one guy working and he was kind and trying his absolute best with a lunch rush. There was so much flavor in both the tacos and the burrito. We will definitely be back.“

“Fantastic authentic Korean food, and super nice folks. I go there every time I visit Madison.“

“After 29 years of living near Madison, we finally went for dinner last night. Everything was delicious- mocktail, bruschetta, both pasta dishes (mushroom truffle & sausage rigatoni), as well as the light, fluffy desserts (butterscotch pudding & cheesecake with rhubarb/strawberry compote). Super happy our waiter, James, sent us home with an extra baguette & recommended making French toast - which we did today! We’ll be back with friends and recommending to others!“

“Good stuff. Worth stopping in for sure!“

“The best Mexican food in Madison (Fitchburg)!“

“my favorite place in Madison. service is always so friendly. I loved this place even when they were at the old location. I am so happy they have been so popular and recognized in the new location; they absolutely deserve it.“

“everything was amazing. the spices, the flavors, and the iced coffee... next level. it will not disappoint.“

“Long time favorite that never disappoints! My go to menu items are the Nachos Mexicana and Enchiladas Verdes… yum!“

“I had a great experience at Poke It Up! The poke bowls were fresh, flavorful, and customizable with a variety of toppings and sauces. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the ordering process smooth. The restaurant has a clean and casual atmosphere, perfect for a quick and healthy meal. Highly recommend if you’re in Madison and craving poke!“

“Love the charming European Grand Cafe vibes. An abundance of outdoor seating is available. Our server was very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks and food. One of the smoothest bloodys I have had. Food was absolutely delicious! What a great spot for brunch and enjoying a view of Madison.“

“I had the lunch enchiladas and they were the best I’ve had in a while! True authentic Mexican flavor and style!“

“I hired Beef Butter BBQ for my wedding and they did a FABULOUS job. The food was to die for, the employees extremely helpful and kind, and I could not be happier!“

“Just kept saying how delicious it was the entire time I was eating. I got the pesto sandwich and they were super friendly and easily accommodated my dietary restrictions (no dairy/vegetarian) without any issues. The pesto is delicious and the sandwich wasn’t too heavy, perfect way to start off the day!“

“Vegan option was yummy! Thanks for the labels! Will be back“

“The Tom Yum is amazing AF“

“Friendly neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is robust; the atmosphere is mellow. The back patio is a quiet, relaxing hideaway.“

“Good drinks menu but the food was so-so. Flavors unremarkable. No information on the menu for those who are lactose or gluten intolerant which is easy to flag on menus these days. And the random delivery of small plates, which was to be expected, could have been a little bit more even for our table of four. And worth letting us know, when we order, which dishes might take quite a bit longer to prepare and deliver. Nice ambiance and good lighting. 3/5.“

“We were visiting Madison for a business trip. Kelly at Morgan's shoes suggested we go here for oysters. We had the most amazing dinner, oysters on the half shell and wrapped it up with an unbelievably good coffee and date ice cream 😋 Our experience was so good we decided to go back a second night! Oysters and dinner were fantastic! Too full for dessert Such a beautiful location, great service and delicious food. Highly recommend 👌“
