Sardine was absolutely perfect. We went on a busy Sunday morning- and we had made no reservations! It was bustling inside. We got seated immediately at a communal table with the warning that the communal table turns into a reserved table at a certain time. They also promised that if we were still there when that happened they would move us. When that time approached the waitstaff smoothly moved us and our stuff to a neighboring two top.
The food!!! Having worked in a high end patisserie in NYC we had some pretty high standards and Sardine was exceptional. I felt transported back to NYC and Paris.
The marshmallow on the hot chocolate was incredible. The oysters were absolutely delicious and sweet. Our Croque Madams were exactly what we were missing. Everything was perfect.

This spot holds a very special place in my heart. It’s not often that I get to visit but when I do I thoroughly enjoy the service and food quality and taste. The oysters are a must. You can do a mix and match set so as to try all that they offer. Out server was very kind and even offered a free sorbet on my birthday. The sorbet was sooo flavourful and had a little candied lemon on top. Top notch dessert. Now to circle back to dinner. My ribeye served rare was delectable. I went with a salad on the side instead of fries. My only complaint was that the aioli wasn’t very garlicky and could’ve used some more flavor. I can’t wait to take my boyfriend here.
Overall. Exquisite.

Had a nice brunch and the French toast was really good. I got the brunch special that day and the French toast was a recommendation. The restaurant is right next to a lake so it is a nice view if you sit outside.

We had a delicious meal here and we enjoyed sitting on the patio on a beautiful summer night. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed a refreshing drink of ginger, grapefruit and lemon juice and honey. The hostess was quick to get us a table when we arrived 15 minutes ahead of our reservation. If we lived in Madison, we would regularly dine here.

We had the most fantastic experience here last night!! There were no reservations available for the times that we wanted so we winged it and went in hoping for a seat at the bar. Carlin helped us right away and got us a couple of glasses of wine while we waited and let us know which seats would be opening up and kept an eye on them for us. We moved to the open seats as soon as another couple finished and left.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated and from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. it was very busy and lively but not crazy or overly loud. Cocktail list is creative and impressive. We had oysters, mussels, salted beets, steak frites and the hazelnut dessert with a latte and Irish coffee. Manhattan and sidecar from the cocktail menu for both delicious and the armagnac selection was stellar. Everything was spectacular!
Can’t say enough about The level of attention and professionalism that Carlin provided… Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He took such good care of us … Sardine is lucky to have him on staff. The two female bartenders working were also wonderful.
We will be back!!

Best meal in Madison by far. I had the wood-grilled pork chops while my wife had chicken paillard. We both loved it along with the cheesecake for desert.

Incredible, thorough service. We went for brunch with a last minute change in numbers and the servers were very accommodating. Great atmosphere, feels very high-end. My only reason to give it 4 instead of 5 stars is everybody at our table that had been prior said they preferred their dinner menu. I got the mushroom toast with cashew cream and an added egg. Was it good? Yes. Do I feel that other people’s meals were a little mid for the price of their plates? Also, yes. Two people at our table said that it was their 2nd brunch there, but they’d stick with giving them service at dinner time since they’ve always said it’s exceptional. I’ll definitely go back for dinner as the number of 5 ratings has to be a testament to them 🙂 no notes on wait staff- incredible.

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy fresh oysters and delicious seafood, this is a great spot to try. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, making it perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. They also offer a wide selection of drinks, which you can enjoy while taking in the beautiful lake view. It’s definitely worth a visit if you want to savor good food and a nice view at the same time.
