anyone here from Madison, Wisconsin? looking to buy a gift card to a nice restaurant there for a customer and hoping this group has some recommendations.
know lots of folks in the service industry and the restaurants well, happy to give some recs!
Upscale or at least elevated options:
Harvey House - mostly about the experience. the food is good, upscale supper club, but the setting is really what is best about it
Fairchild - hands down one of the best restaurants - small intimate space, incredible food, james beard award winning chefs
Mint Mark - personal favorite, a little more fun and funky/not stuffy. lots of small plates, elevated still, delicious cocktails
A Pig in a Fur Coat - similar to mint mark in small plates but also lots of entrees, amazing chef
Bar Coralini - not super fancy by any means but quite good modern italian and good cocktails
