Had tapas and cocktails after our daughter's graduation. Couldn't have had a better celebration. Menu was thoughtful and the food was absolutely delicious. Service was top notch. Views of the capitol at night made our last night in Madison bittersweet. Highly recommend. read more

Food was below standard. The truffle fries were soggy and burnt . We were told that the fries were burnt as that is what truffle oil does . The fries were sent back and came back looking the same and room temperature .. which is obvious that they were not fresh. The Scallops came out .. three small pieces on a bed of canned corn (price for scallops $44) . The staff started cleaning and vacuuming behind us at 10.30 PM which seemed unprofessional. When the manager came to talk to us we informed him that this was not really the best fine dining experience when people start cleaning around you and the response we received was callous and sarcastic For those prices do better Eno Vino .. there is only so much you can cash out on that view! read more

The food is top notch , appetizers and wine , service is great , our waiter recommended additional thing added to our order and it worked out greatly . The view is absolutely the best overlooking the capitol building . The bad , I'll have to sell my children now because the prices are ridiculous, I'm sure you are paying for quality but still think it's way too high price to bring the rating down one star. read more

Eno Vino Downtown - View from eno vino - Wine Bars Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Had my birthday celebration at Eno Vino downtown again. Last time was 3 years ago. I love the view of the Capital from the restaurant and love that they change their menu items. Some items have the same name as before but how they cooked it changed. I enjoyed the food so much that I forgot to take photos of each dish. The wait person was very attentive and when the kitchen made a mistake on the dessert orders, he brought out another set even after I said it was fine. He really went out of his way. We had the following for dinner for a party of 5 and that's a lot of food. Bruschetta - apple/fig, mozzarella, Mediterranean and prosciutto. The go to for starter. Grilled baby lettuce - 1st time eating grilled lettuce and was pleasantly surprised. The little bit of charred taste was welcoming. Roasted beet salad - the creamy goat cheese was so good with the well baked beets. Truffles fries - same old same old, still very good. The only way to improve on this might be the dips provided. Ahi tuna - a new recipe for an old item and it was very good. Seared scallops - new recipe with sausages and carmelized onions over corn. I liked the scallops and sausages, to much corn for me. Pork belly bites - too much potatoes, not enough pork belly, would have loved it if it was all pork belly. Chef special - filet mignon, crab cakes, fried green beans served by the chef who cooked it. It was indeed special. Sorbet - wild berries hibiscus, mango Panna cotta, crème brûlée. Definitely returning to Eno Vino Downtown in the future and hopeful not another 3 years. read more

Only good thing about this place was the view and the staff. The food was so overrated and overpriced for what you got. The cocktails were good but still overpriced. We got maybe 6 things between the two of us and nothing was memorable. Should have just went to the Caribou for one of Winslow's burgers. This is just a place to go to tell others you went. read more

Always one of my favorite spots in Madison. The view of the state capitol building is breathtaking and the atmosphere is amazing. I always enjoy tapas style food and last night did not disappoint. The Ahi Tuna was great. And the service was very good. read more

I went here for my birthday and it ended up being a really lovely experience. The atmosphere feels upscale yet comfortable, and the view of the Capitol makes the whole evening feel extra special. The shareable plates worked perfectly for our group, and most of the dishes were flavorful and beautifully prepared. The only issue we ran into was a mixup where another table's cheeseboard was brought to us and our appetizer went to them. Even with that hiccup, the food, the service, and the overall vibe made it a great birthday dinner. I'd definitely come back for another celebration or a night out. Also the view in the women's bathroom is beautiful read more

Hadn't been to Eno Vino in a while, but it feels like they've stepped things up. The shrimp ceviche special was bright and fresh, probably my favorite. For drinks we had the pomegranate mojito and garden party cocktails were both good. But the Scorpio Rising was the favorite drink. For food we tried a few new items. The yuca was interesting but seemed odd and needed more flavor. We really liked the empanada and Brussel sprouts especially the cream sauce with the empanada. Pork belly and chicken skewer were both cooked well and two were enough for 6 people. Lastly, the Thai chicken flatbread wasn't great. Not bad, it just didn't live up to the rest. Service was fast and very nice as always. read more

All time favorites in madison! you need a reservation if you don't want to sit at the bar or a high top but you can occasionally get in as a walk in. Meals are more or a sharing item with smaller sizes but the flavor of the meals is unmatched. I absolutely feel like the ambiance and flavor is worth the price you pay. Parking is typically in a parking garage a block away, not very wheel chair accessible. read more

Love this place. We ate here last night. The tapas style pates were exactly what we needed. Try the risotto! You won't be disappointed! And the green beans! And the tortellini! And Pork Belly! The service was fantastic! Can't say enough about the wait staff! And the ambiance was great. Plus the views!! Swoon! read more

A beautiful night even though it's cold out. We were seated with a great view of the capitol. The crab cakes have a Japanese flair that is very tasty. Great waitstaff. read more

View is incredible on the 10th floor looking straight at the capital. Bar has generous amount of seats and the restaurant is large and can accommodate big parties. Food is served as shareable plates and everything is always delicious. Been several times and not often disappointed. The truffle fries have great flavor and come with three homemade dipping sauces, but they weren't quite crispy enough for my liking. However, I had the ahi tuna and it was fantastic. read more

I haven't been here in a while, but really enjoyed the dinner for two special which makes dining here much more affordable. Three course dinner included a bruschetta or cheese board, main course and a dessert for 45pp. I really enjoyed the salmon dinner and crème brûlée desert. Guinness was available on draft too! The view of Madison and the capital is really amazing!! The only negative is the parking situation downtown as it was art fair weekend and public parking deck was full and it was raining too. Would recommend read more

Just stopped for a pomegranate mojito and the sausage and mushroom flatbread. As usual the view was perfect. Our server was very nice and apologized for the service being slower. We didn't mind because it was a nice night to enjoy the views. The cocktail menu has gotten more expensive since the last time we were here. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 5/5 Rooftop restaurant with a spectacular bar, great views of the capital and overall plush ambience. Food is in shared plates, so the paradigm of ordering is a little confusing. Love the soup with grilled cheese bites, as well as the beet salad. Bruschetta platter had weird flavors in them. we went there to celebrate a birthday and had a grand time For dessert we had the chocolate fondue, which was awesome. read more

Somehow I stayed at AC Marriott last weekend and never checked this place out. We were able to get a reservation after watching the badgers get crushed (again) when everywhere else was full. What a delight this place was. Super friendly service , amazing cocktails, solid wine choices, and all the plates were ordered were at least good and in some cases great. I loved the blue cheese pear salad and the mushroom sausage flatbread the most! read more

This place is always amazing. I love the spare ribs and the lobster was good. Our waiter went above and beyond expectations.

Eno Vino Downtown has good food and an incredible atmosphere, highlighted by the breathtaking view of the Capitol. I'm not usually a fan of the tiny-portion menu style, but the quality of the food was solid. Honestly, if it were in any other location it might be less enjoyable, but the stunning view makes the whole experience worth it. read more

I've been here a few times for work events and drinks/snacks. The atmosphere is gorgeous, possibly one of the best views in Madison. The food is surprisingly hit or miss for the price. Yesterday I stopped by with a couple of friends for happy hour. I had the green goddess drink which was excruciatingly sour. My friend ordered the pomegranate mule, which was nice. We ordered two snacks to share: the tuna tartare and the carpaccio. The tuna tartare was tasty, balanced, and creative. I liked the crispy quinoa and the freshness of the yogurt sauce. The carpaccio was horrible. The cuts were sloppy. There was very little meat and a heaping pile of microgreens with poorly-sliced red onion. The broth was sour beyond belief and the fact that it was served with tortilla chips made no sense at all. It seemed like two different chefs wrote the recipes and prepared the dishes. I think I'll wait until another work-sponsored event to return. I'd rather not play roulette with the menu. read more

My wife and I have been Eno Vino guests since its early West Side days and have dined Downtown many times. On Saturday, Oct 18, 2025, we stopped in for dinner and were met with the most dismissive and unwelcoming reception we've ever experienced. Three hosts stood at the desk -- one older gentleman and two younger women. The young woman who helped us said she'd been with Eno Vino six months. When I asked about dining-room reservations, she curtly said "no." When I asked how to make one, she replied, "You call in for a reservation," in a patronizing tone. Later she asked if I lived in Madison -- an irrelevant and inappropriate question. Moments later, we found open reservations online for 5:45 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The dining room manager (a tattooed young woman) called it an "oversight" but refused to have the hostess come apologize. When I asked to speak with her, the manager said she was "fearful" of how the hostess might handle the conversation. That word -- fearful -- spoke volumes. After years of being regular guests, this experience left us feeling unwelcome, unwanted, and profiled. Eno Vino has long been one of Madison's top dining spots -- but what happened Saturday showed how quickly poor front-of-house behavior can damage a brand's reputation. We've contacted management directly and hope they address this swiftly. Until then, I'd encourage leadership to retrain staff on respect, inclusion, and hospitality -- values that should never depend on who walks through the door. read more

I had an amazing birthday dinner here. The restaurant is very classy with amazing views of the capital building. Taylor C took care of us. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and allergy information (gluten and peanut/legumes). She brought wine samples so I could pick a dry red wine that would accompany my meal - not surprisingly, I ended up picking her favorite wine and it was perfect. This restaurant specializes in small plates and shareables. I ordered 3 plates and had some leftovers to take home (I did NOT share with my dining guest). They have a gluten-friendly menu. Everything was beautifully prepared and brought out with plenty of time between courses. I started with the roasted beet salad with goat cheese (this ended up being my favorite of the three). They whipped the goat cheese and somehow that made it crazy addictive. Yum! My next choice was the seared scallops that came with grilled onions and sliced sausage in a bed of corn. I am not much of a sausage person so I didn't eat much of the sausage but made quick work of the seared scallops and onions. I ended with a filet with potatoes, oyster mushroom and peas in a Malbec reduction. This was good but the filet was a bit unevenly cooked. I had ordered medium rare, and about have of the filet was medium. The most beautiful dish that we tried was the "Crispy" lobster. While, sadly, not gluten-free, both the presentation and taste (I was told) were five stars. The food was, indeed, a special experience that we really enjoyed. About the drinks: so many choices!! All of the wines that I sampled would have been excellent choices, at a fair price point. There are so many interesting cocktails to pick from. Here again, the presentation of the cocktails makes it a special experience. Both of us loved the "Jalop-In Your Business" cocktail with jalapeno-infused tequila. It definitely had a kick to it, even for us Texans. To summarize, I highly recommend this restaurant and Taylor C for your special night out, especially if you have food allergies. read more

Salad (not pictured) Service 5/5 - Staff were quick to attend to guests. They had a coat rack and took pictures for couples. There were lots of staff refilling drinks and bringing new dishes. Ambiance 4.5/5 - The table set up and view of the capitol building was so pretty! It was a booked event and was dark inside the restaurant. I would definitely come again!! read more

Eno Vino was absolutely fantastic! In town for a conference and I popped up to grab a great bite and a great view! The beet salad was absolutely incredible, and the scallops were perfectly smoky and I was shocked at how delicate the corn was even as a side kick in the dish. The deep fried lobster packed a kick and the dessert was just to die for. I wanted to just come back to this place every night for dinner! read more

I never make reservations because I enjoy sitting at the tall tables on the bar side. Service is a pinch slower at this restaurant, but they are always extremely friendly. The view never disappoints. It's the crowd pleaser when guests are in from out of town. The selection of wines and specialty drinks provide an option for everyone. The Thai Chicken flatbread is my favorite dish in Madison. There is so much flavor in every bite, with the balance of ingredients to give the salty tangy sweet and a little spice. Had many other items from here but this always wins. read more

Great food and ambience. I took my family out and it had good selection of vegetarian options

The food and service were absolutely fantastic. The portions were small for the price ($21 for a small serving or pork belly bite and potatoes, that were mostly potatoes) but we left full and satisfied. The braised short rib melted in our mouths. The espresso martinis were deliciously potent. The banana rum bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream was heavenly. We didn't think we had room for dessert, but after a bite we magically found space. Will certainly be back. read more

Eno Vino is located inside the AC Hotel on the 10th floor. Reservations are available through Open table. The view of the Capitol was amazing. The women's bathroom has an amazing view of the lake and the Capitol. I have food allergies to nuts and seafood, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu options and the people who delivered my food noted that the plate had special attention to allergens. The menu is tapas style. They timed everything well, bringing out one plate at a time. We had the braised short rib, pork belly bites, chicken thigh kebabs, and the bistro filet. Every bite was incredible. Highly recommend. read more

$400 for 2 diners? Food was disappointing and we were rushed. Two courses were at the table before we sat and had a chance to order drinks. The appetizer was not palatable, mahi mahi was not fresh and duck very dry. The entire dinner lasted 1 hour. read more

Portions are decent; ordered three dishes, which was plenty for a party of two. Staff are friendly and attentive--JJ was our server, and he was nice and efficient. The restaurant itself has a nice view of the capitol (make sure to get a seat by the windows).

The views really say it all. You can't beat sipping and munching while getting smacked in the face with beautiful sunset views of the Capitol you just can't. I definitely recommend trying to snag a spot in the first come first serve section in you want the best view. No rezzy is a risk and you probs don't get as comfy of chairs. Here's the thing the drinks are expensive and delicious and the food is expensive and delicious plus you get an amazing rooftop view. So I think you do get what you pay for. read more

I really enjoyed my time here at Eno Vino! We got seated immediately with a nice view even though we didn't make a reservation. The server was really attentive and friendly and brought our orders in a timely manner. The crispy lobster was to die for! It had this peach dressing and the lobster was so tender and crispy. It also has slaw filling inside which perfected the meal. The cheeseboard had fresh fruit and variety of cheeses, and we ordered moscato and prosecco to pair it off. The bruschetta is also something i highly recommend! We got the Brie and apple, Mediterranean, pineapple jalapeño, and margarita. It was so unique and delicious. Lastly, we got a chocolate fondue for dessert which was sooo good! The fresh fruit, marshmallows and pound cake fit super well with the warm chocolate fondue. read more

It's been four years since I visited Madison and I was so excited to come back and eat here. This place was so memorable. The view of the Capitol is just amazing. And the food is even more amazing. We tried many different plates. The tuna sashimi and grilled octopus were my favorites but the rest were pretty high up there too. E also has the meatball, truffle fries, Thai chicken flatbread, assorted bruschetta and crispy pork belly. Everything was delicious. I can't say enough about how good the food is here. You won't be disappointed. The only problem I had was I was too full for dessert read more

It was fine. Considering how highly this restaurant is rated, and given how many times it was recommended to us since moving to Madison, our expectations were high. To say the least, we were extremely disappointed in our experience. The food was fine, despite paying between $15-$32 per tapas-style plate. A couple notes from dinner: our filet was medium well instead of medium, the food descriptions on the menu did not prepare us for what would come out of the kitchen, our complimentary dessert took 20 minutes to come out after we finished our last course, and the lamb meatballs were too peppery for my taste. I will give a shout-out to the calamari fries, which were delicious. Overall, the quality of the food was nowhere near what it should have been for the cost. The service was also fine. The staff at the check in stand were very sweet and welcoming, and wished me happy birthday several times. We were surprised that our waiter was the only person doing service for about 45 min during a stretch of dinner time, despite seeing at least ten waitstaff hanging out by the kitchen. We also had to wait a while to ask for clean plates and silverware. There was also a staff person vacuuming close to our section for a good 10 min, which was a bit bizarre, and made little dust particles float around our table for a bit. The view was nice, but it didn't make up for the rest of the dining experience. I'm glad we went so we could check it off our list, but we probably won't be back. read more
