- FfargofoodieSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe loved Lucille's! We visited during Miracle on King St since our entire family was in town to celebrate the holiday. We loved the festive atmosphere, Christmas music, and holiday drink menu to kick up some holiday cheer! We started off with cheese curds and nachos, and ended with three different pizzas. It was fabulous!More infoLucillePrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Madison•4.6
- LLoriWisconsin •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had the best time at Drpaer Brothers. The food, service, ambience was all what you want in a fine dining experiences. We will be back. Fatima is an excellent server. She is attentive, gives good guidance on food selections and beverages. She definitely adds quality and fun to your evening . We tried a variety of dishes. From the lamb lollipops to tartare to meatballs for starters. For entrees we had scallops, filets, beef mushroom ravioli and their seafood pasta alla vodka. We also tried the wedgini salad and ciopinno soup. For sides we had lobster mac and cheese, broccolini. Dessert was another surprise with huge portions of their key lime pie and a double chocolate piece of decadence.More infoDraper Brother's ChophousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Madison•4.3
- AAngelWisconsin •2 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe place seemed a little understaffed as our server was managing many tables and took a while to get to us, but the staff were otherwise very friendly. There was a mixup with our table's order which resulted in me getting my meal after quite a wait. Unfortunately the corn bisque with mussels I ordered was very bland and the mussels were very undercooked, so I did not eat much of it. The cornbread and fish fry were fine, but nothing too impressive. I had been to Merchant in the past and thought it was fantastic and was surprised to have not a great experience this time.More infoMerchantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Madison•4.2

Discover Madison
Wisconsin's capital surrounds most of Lake Mendota and the nearby suburbs. Whether you're taking a stroll by the water in summer or ice skating downtown during the cooler months, make sure you take a break to try a kringle. Wisconsin is one of only a few states to declare a state pastry, and this delightful Danish dessert is worth the acclaim. If you're looking for a full meal rather than just dessert, head downtown to see a selection of the most popular restaurants. The square around the Capitol is home to a dozen cozy pubs and steakhouses, so you can enjoy an Irish draft beer or classic burger. For those who prefer Asian food, there is a wide array of Thai, Chinese, and Japanese fare to enjoy here as well.
