Cold food. Long wait to receive meal. This is my second visit. First time, soup was cold as we.

*this was their bunch menu To start out, the service was slow and it took a while for us to even get waters (we also had to ask for utensils when our food came). The interior is super clean and has cute nature-y decorations which was enjoyable. We ordered the salmon and avocado benedict with truffle fries on the side. This dish was pretty disappointing. The English muffin was cold and didn't seem like it was even slightly toasted. There was only a small amount of salmon and avocado. The hollandaise sauce was not good. It tasted like yogurt, had a sweet taste to it and was also cold. On the other hand, the kale salad was good! The truffle fries were decent, nothing too outstanding about it. read more

I was pretty meh on tonight's meal. I think the menu has changed a bit since I last visited (granted, that was a while ago), they didn't have the grilled cheese with tomato soup. I was quite hungry because I didn't have enough for lunch and didn't find the tea-braised pork to be quite enough. The flavor was also more on the subtle side and I was looking for something really full-bodied and filling. I considered the steak or fried chicken sandwich too and I think those are what I was actually in the mood for. A co-worker got the house burger and that looked pretty great. The patty was (maybe a little too) juicy and a big chonk, with plenty of fries. The chocolate mousse terrine for dessert wasn't quite what I was expecting either. It had a bit of bitterness/acridity (is that a word?) which was off-putting. A bit more sweetness would've helped. read more

Visited the Dane County winter market on Saturday morning. Afterward, came upon Everly for brunch. Wonderful find. The place was busy that morning so we took a place at the bar. They offered great service and the full menu at this countertop. This place offered a nice variety of brunch items for all appetites. We settled on the chicken + waffle and the salmon + avocado Benedict. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. The Benedict was an upscale version of the traditional eggs. Both were great choices. Loved the vinaigrette that came with the kale salad. Also ordered a side of the herb smashed fingerling potatoes. Great addition to a wonderful brunch. read more

Great place, good food and very nice staff. We chose from the brunch selection and the food was excellent.

The server was very friendly and quick. The drinks were very well balanced. We got the cauliflower to start but it was kind of bland. I ordered the so cal bowl and it was delicious. There was a ton of flavor but definitely could have been more filling. I would recommend adding something to make it a full meal. Everly is a beautiful restaurant it's so bright and airy. read more

Everly - New American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

used to be my favorite place in madison, as the years have gone by the menu changes as is to be expected but recently it seems like the menu staples have severely gone downhill. the truffle fries used to be my favorite and now they're stale and lukewarm every time i've ordered them as of late. the chicken skewers were so amazing and they were changed to some weird salsa iceberg chunk w the skewers and the worst part is they got rid of the calamari steak fries. no where else i've ever been has calamari steak fries let alone calamari steak, and these were my favorite appetizer and now they're gone and all the other things i loved aren't as good. really really disappointing. read more

Great food, awesome service, and unique ambiance. Definitely will go again on my next trip to Madison.

Visited Everly for the first time for dinner. We made a reservation in advance for a party of 3. Upon entrance, the venue gives really homie and California vibes (lots of green plants, great lighting, and overall really warm feel). Unfortunately, camera did not eat first, but rest assured the food was really good. For apps, we started with the tuna crispy rice and they had an octopus with chorizo & potato special. Both apps were really delicious and portioned well. For mains we had the New York strip, salmon, and fish tacos. We were all happy with our orders. Would recommend! read more

Awesome food, service and atmosphere. I'd highly recommend for those looking for a unique dining experience.

This was our first Everly visit and we will be back. Everything was first class. The chicken pesto was excellent and I thought the fettuccini shrimp was even better. Nice desserts; we had the espresso crème brulée and mango mousse pie. Large portions mean we'll have an encore at home tonight. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. The space is well lit (you won't need a flashlight to read the menu) and the acoustics are great; you can hear yourselves talk, but not your neighbors. read more

I was there on a Saturday evening. The place was full, and there were people waiting to get a seat. I went for a take out dinner. I liked the so-cal grain bowl with chicken the most. It had a lot of fresh veggies. Honey mustard chickken sandwich was also good. A little bit more flavour would have improved the taste though. read more

I only stopped for some drinks, but they're really quite good. Was pretty happy. Food did look really tasty too.

I have gone here on a regular basis for years and they occasionally have some really bad service. The last time I went was just so bad that I will most likely never go back. We were seated on a busy weekend day. Two people were seated just a minute after us, right next to us. The waitress took their order first, then served them first. They were halfway through their meal before we got our meal. I ordered the vegan burritos, something I've ordered many times and usually really liked. However this time it was 80% full of white rice and just a tiny amount of veggies. When the waitress came back to ask us if all was ok I said, no actually, could I please have more veggies and alot less rice? She said no problem, right away I'll fix this, and took my plate. I asked if it would take long and she assured me it would not. I then had to wait almost 20 minutes for her to come back with me meal. At this point my friend was already through her meal. I actually had to get the manager to check on where my meal was. When the waitress came she said she was sorry that I had to wait a second. No, it wasn't a second. They treated me like I was a crazy ogre for complaining. They ended up taking 15% off the bill, but frankly I should have gotten a full throated apology and a free meal. If they are going to take away my food with a promise that it would be right back then they should have done that and not put it at the end of the order line (which they said they did). So no, I won't be back. read more

Came while visiting a friend of mine who is going to law school at Madison. First thing: their happy hour is extremely specific. We were all jazzed about their happy hour deals, only to find out those deals are just for people sitting at the bar and outside. Huh?? I've never heard of happy hour deals based on sitting location before, sooooo read the fine print I guess. It took awhile for our drinks to come, and food, but they were pretty busy so that makes sense. Our waitress was super nice and helpful when she did come to our table, so I was appreciative of that. I got the black bean burger, which was pretty good. Although I honestly liked the kale salad it came with even more (their dressing is bomb). We also ordered truffle fries as an app, and those were awesome, the aioli it came with SMACKED! The inside is very cute, very bright and open. The outdoor patio looked super nice, and next time I'd maybe opt for that. read more

We came by to celebrate my mom's birthday. The interior is modern and bright with very high ceilings to make the space feel larger. The middle area inside seems a little crammed, so we were happy to be sitting in a booth by the window. There is a small, pretty outdoor patio too. We ordered the truffle fries to start, which were good. For entrées, we ordered the everly grilled cheese (which came with tomato soup), grilled oyster mushrooms vesuvio, and thai-style crispy chicken. We thought the grilled cheese was cooked sloppily and lacked flavor, and same applies for the tomato soup. The oyster mushrooms dish was good but very small. The crispy chicken dish was delicious and I would recommend ordering it - every component of this dish paired well together. My mom got to select a complimentary dessert for her birthday, which was a very kind gesture. She chose the s'mores pie, which was extremely decadent and heavy. Overall the food was good, and our server was kind and friendly! read more

Outstanding experience. We were in town on a couples 24 hour getaway with friends. We made reservations en route to Madison. We had an event to be at by 7pm Alliant Energy Center. We arrived and were promptly seated. Atmosphere is open, yet cozy. The esthetic is perfect for a dinner with friends to laugh, yet not too loud. The server was friendly, kind, knowledgeable of entrees and she was spot on with recommendations. The Poke Nachos were phenomenal and the truffle fries are always a win. The table loved the selection of Coconut Curry with Chicken and the Thai Chicken. (Not listed as exact menu titles) prices and portions were great for the entire experience. Highly recommend. The restaurant was full and steady service. I would encourage a reservation if you do have the opportunity. read more

Delicious food and a gorgeous space--might want to check your budget before ordering though. I got a steak and potato breakfast for $18. It was really delicious but a bit pricey. My vegan friend said she was surprised by how many solid options they have for vegan folks! Another friend ordered a blood Mary which was decent but not phenomenal. TLDR; sets a high bar for delicious food, matched with a high price. read more

I'll start by saying that the service was excellent and the food was pretty good. However, two out of four of the special spritzes were "out" and every single vegan item we ordered was "out." Also, one of the salads was missing some toppings. It was disappointing for the vegan in our party, especially because we picked the restaurant thinking she would have plenty of choices (as advertised on the menu). The ambiance would have been better if it weren't for all the flies. read more

+Wine and drink selection +Service +Ambiance +Celebrate birthdays -Food Review based on the evening of October 23, 2023. The chosen spot of a friend to celebrate her birthday dinner, it was the first time dining at Everly for all in our party. I arrived first and asked the hostess if Everly celebrates birthday guests. I was thrilled to learn Everly will give a complementary drink or dessert! First things first were truffle fries. Unfortunately, being even at the closest table to the kitchen these fries were not hot when they came out. Also lacking crispness and visual doneness. We picked at but did not finish. Two of us had the butternut squash and forbidden rice curry entrée with chicken. Another had the steak. The two of us having the curry came in hot, wanting that just upon a preview of the menu! I can report a plentiful portion. In the evening at home to finish it I found a couple of bones - like literally an inch and a half pieces of skinny bone. Safety issue! Primary driver of why I doubt I'll return to eat here. I just don't think bone left in a curry broth can be overlooked. Wine and drinks were had by others at the table and based on their ordering second rounds enjoyed the beverages. Words were said as such. Friend did partake of her complementary birthday dessert. Our server had recommended the bananas Foster puff pastry. It was a lot of pastry. We were really looking for a Flambee and a lot of sauce and banana. So this didn't quite meet the expectation. While Everly doesn't have our favorite vibe in Madison at the moment, there is an ambiance with the open modern concept and clean decor. We appreciate the coat rack at the door so we can leave jackets immediately behind and still see them and know that they will be there when we leave. I don't recall the name of our server anymore, but he was attentive enough without being overbearing and answered our couple of questions for order suggestions. All in all, I can't say it lives up to the hype. With all the restaurant competition in Madison, it's not at the top of the list of places to return. read more

Everly used to be my absolutely favorite place to meet friends. I loved the tea braised pork for dinner. It was filling and so delicious. I haven't been there for dinner in a couple of months, and I was suprised to find a completely new menu for dinner, excluding the pork dish. I ordered the beef skewers with "lettuce cups", pickled veg and some type of salsa on the side. It was not a cohesive plate, the iceburg lettuce was simply a hunk off of a head of lettuce, not even enough of a piece to create a wrap. The salsa was sickly sweet, and it did not pair with the beef at all. The beef was okay, but nothing to rave about. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, and I was completely unable to eat it. it was visually unappetizing, and the texture was off. It was served with a citrus preserve, pistachios and some type of chocolate maybe. Our server was a delight, and we did tell her about our displeasure. I also spoke with the host. They did say that brunch hasn't changed much, so I'm hopeful I will still enjoy that. Generally I believe in voicing complimentary opinions, but our experience last night was very disappointing. read more

Came here with my friends who are locals. I loved it! I had been eating a lot of cheese and meat, which while delicious was a little heavy. I had the chicken tikka sandwich and a kale salad and it was just what I needed. Greens! Had some really beautiful art. I really liked their lemonade too! read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant, it's been on my list for a while. We were seated relatively quickly, food took a bit longer (understandable bc they were busy). Though I really enjoyed the butternut squash + forbidden rice curry (great flavor), it was served lukewarm and the tofu was dry and bland (not worth the extra $4). It would've been a 10/10 if it was served hot and the tofu was softer (think it would've absorbed flavors of the curry better). Anyways, the challah french toast was delicious, enjoyed that too. Overall, great atmosphere and service, and I definitely want to come back to try more. read more

I've been to Everly many times, and there is almost always something "off." Last night - with 2 out of town friends - was no exception. First, it was freezing in the restaurant, and there was a vent right above us blasting cold air. Our server was prompt and took our drink orders right away. And then we waited. And waited. And it wasn't busy an a Sunday evening - maybe 4 tables. Finally the server came back (still without the drinks) and took our food orders. The drinks eventually arrived, but we waited...and waited... for the food. Our server came back and apologized: instead of putting our order in, they had inadvertently deleted it. We re-reordered and were told that they'd "put a rush" on it in the kitchen. You guessed it - we waited. Ordered another drink each. Food finally arrived. Out of town friends enjoyed their meals. I liked my sandwich, but the fries I ordered with it were cold and dry. Ick - I can get better fries down the street at The Laurel. Good thing there was ketchup. Our server offered desserts on the house, which was a nice gesture under the circumstances. I declined but friends enjoyed theirs. Everly, you must do better! Don't bank on your "hip neighborhood spot" vibe. read more

My husband had been here a few times for work lunches, so when we had a date night he thought that I would like go. I'm glad we did! The ambiance is relaxed with a touch of sophistication. Dim lighting makes for an intimate vibe, and the number of tables echos that. It's definitely a great spot for a cozy date. Our drinks were very tasty -I had the "No Shrubs" and my husband had the Generous Pour, which currently is Petals to the Metal. Each month they feature a special house cocktail and donate to a local cause or charity that's near and dear to the staff. I absolutely love that, such a cool idea. We started with an order of the truffle fries, which were delicious - the truffle aioli and the crispness of the Parmesan were a treat to my tastebuds. For my entree I chose the fried chicken sandwich with kale salad. KFC has nothing on this - it was literally finger licking good! From the buttermilk aioli down to the brioche bun, I finished that sucker off fast. I'm not a huge kale person, but since I had already had some french fries I figured it was best to have a healthy side. It didn't disappoint! The vinaigrette was great. My husband had the Braised Bulgogi short rib, and he finished everything on his plate, so I'd say he was impressed. He's a bit of a beef snob. I'm definitely interested to see what other dishes they rotate in, because I can't wait to be back to try something new! read more

This place is another favorite of mine!!! Great food and fabulous service. Absolutely love the decor and ambience of this place. Everly offers both indoor and outdoor dining. Tonite was my 4th or 5th visit to this place and it was just as awesome as my first om Great spot for brunch and dinner. Have a great selection of healthy, veggie and gluten free options. The food is incredible. You can't pass on the butternut squash + forbidden rice curry. It's an absolute favorite. The roasted carrot + Kimchi, avocado toast, house burger are all really good. You must order their truffle fries. They have a great selection of drinks as well. Fun, modern, an eclectic restaurant. Do check it out. read more

Visited midday on a Saturday to order from their brunch menu. The parking lot is small and was full so we found free street parking in the neighborhood. The environment is casual and hip with both booths and chairs to dine on. From the weekend brunch menu, I ordered the So-Cal Grain Bowl ($14) and added a salmon filet (+$5). My wife ordered the Confit Pork Bagel Breakfast Sandwich ($15) and blueberry matcha latte ($5) to drink. My So-Cal Grain Bowl tasted good, but with the most dominant ingredients being just kale, quinoa, and added salmon, 20 bucks seemed steep for what you get. On the other hand, my wife's pork bagel sandwich, which comes with side of fingerling potatoes, was a very hearty meal and generous portion, especially at that price. We ended up boxing half to go. The only complaints I have and reason I removed one star, pertain to my wife's matcha latte. When she ordered it, she asked our server if he can make it "hot, hot" as we drink our teas pretty hot. He replied that since he will be making the drink, he can do that for her. When the latte came out, it definitely wasn't "hot, hot" or even hot really. It was closer to warm. Second complaint is she ordered the latte with almond milk. No issue with that until the bill came and we noticed a $0.75 upcharge for the almond milk. We don't recall seeing on the menu an upcharge for this nor did our waiter mention it when she ordered. Not a huge deal, we just weren't expecting it. The staff were great. Our server, Trevor, was super friendly and attentive. I recommend giving this eatery a try. I wouldn't order the grain bowl again, but the pork bagel is a must!! read more

Came here for lunch and I was impressed with the food. We started off with the roasted carrots and cauliflower fundido. Both were well made and tasted very fresh. For entrée, I went with the Thai-style crispy chicken. The chicken was a tad dry (maybe overcooked a little), but the flavor was good and it came with a sweet thai chili sauce. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. read more

Ate outside on their covered patio which was a lovely atmosphere. Almost all their food can be made (or just is) gluten free, including a fish fry on Friday's. Price point was good for what you get. Service was friendly, but a bit inconsistent which is the only reason for 4 stars. read more

Yes, I am always Leary of restaurants in clean strip malls especially in trendy areas like Monroe street. I read the reviews and decided to just go for it. Happy we did. Loved each and every bite! We walked in on a Sunday at 11:00. Super busy but not a ton of tables. There was bar seating outside BUT there are heaters out there and it was a fun California feel even on a 45 degree day. Sat down and got the veggie/ black bean burger. I always feel like I'm going to get the same thing like you do everywhere BUT this is not the same. Okay, they don't deep fry it but it tastes like they do. Exterior is super crunchy, it stays together when you bite into it and it delivers much protein, beans, quinoa and maybe even some lentils. So dang good! Then the fries okay: fresh cut REAL fries! Nice and crunchy and a little soft where needed. Just a touch of salt. Go for it. This place is not just a pretty exterior! read more

We ordered brunch from Everly and could not have asked for better flavors! I had the Butternut Squash and Curry dish and my friend had the So-Cal Grain Bowl. We also had truffle fries. Everything was delicious, but the butternut squash curry was one of the most amazing dishes I have ever eaten. It was a light curry, packed with flavor and a great spin on brunch dishes. I will absolutely have it again! read more

On a snowy afternoon, I decided to head out for a walk and happy hour. I landed on Everly. I enjoyed the various wines on the list and the price! Half off appetizers, wines, beers and specialty cocktails are all game for happy hour. The space is clean and modern. Grab a seat at the bar or table in the dining area. I was disappointed with the food though. I tried the calamari frites. They were ok but not much flavor and the dipping sauce was ok. They are very filling and more meaty than regular calamari. I decided to order the grilled cheese and soup too. The soup was bland and the grilled cheese was hard to eat because the bread was so thick. Great portions of both. I actually took the other half of the sandwich home for leftovers. Overall the flavors of the dishes I tried didn't stand out but everyone has different taste. It may be a good spot for others. read more

My daughter lives in Fitchburg and recommended this place for lunch/brunch,she loves it.Very eclectic menu and I like that it has vegan and vegetarian options for many entrees. Very bright and comfortable.Service was good,but a little on the slow side.Will definitely go back because of the options available as my daughter is a vegetarian and it's hard to find a nice restaurant where there's something for everyone even a vegetarian. They also have a really nice drink menu to go along with the brunch read more

The food here is great but I called for a reservation and was told upon arrival they booked me outside. It was snowing/sleeting and 35F.

An interesting menu. At a glance I was frightened into thinking the steak I'd hoped to maybe be ordering was not going to happen because the first items screamed out VEGAN or worse. But I was able to calm my heart when I saw a variety of living breathing protein options. Max the best waiter I've encountered in recent times also suggested some very tantalizing suggestions. One being a sandwich which featured Tikka chicken with a forgotten but intriguing description. My son chose that. It looked great but the kale alongside wasn't appealing looking enough to make me want to taste it or even really look at it. In the light of day or even with proper illumination, I'm sure it was probably an attractive looking plate. My photo might reveal that. I skipped the steak since it was sirloin and I can't think of any reason I'd order sirloin. I'm only willing to buy an expensive steak if it's a cut that is going to make me happy I paid what I see to call a weeks food budget when I was eating raman not because I loved to. Today I love a bowl of cheap packaged raman from time to time. But I have to address that today I know how to make it special. Instead I saw the salmon that had a lot of descriptors that I didn't understand but they added to the allure. Max too didn't know what the word alongside the mushrooms really was. But I was figuring they wouldn't be button or the typical shiitake or Maitaike either. I was pleasantly surprised when the beautiful plate revealed my questions. The mushrooms looked exactly like the Stunzis, a variety of Washington treats I used to pick in the fall in the cow fields. Hallucinogenic these were not. It's been many many decades since I was commissioned by my peers to source the magical varieties, today I am just as confident I could ID the liberty caps, blue ringers and the other two for more advanced inner space explorers. But back to my plate. It was a colorful treat indeed. A purple ish smear across the plate: compote of currants but tasted similar to an intense raspberry jam with huckleberries. Very tart and very rich. The mushrooms, were interesting, certainly tastier than the variety previously mentioned. The Israeli couscous was good, but actually seemed a bit creamier than the way I've made it. The salmon was attractive. It was covered in a charred greenery, savoy? I am uncertain. As a dish. This was wonderful. But the salmon, it was mostly devoid of flavor. Atlantic salmon certainly, but while it had body, the lack of seasoning couldn't be corrected with table salt. I often bring a finishing crystal type of salt but didn't. I should keep some in my car, the habanero sauce is in the glove box. The treat especial was the suggestion Max suggested when I inquired about the cauliflower fundido. He described it and it still surprised me when it was placed on the table. Hands down this was the best decision all night. This alone will bring my repeated patronage to this establishment. It was astounding. Service, as described was stellar. My salmon would itself be a 2 star. But it's presentation was 5+ Andy's dish might've been amazing, but I didn't sneak a taste. The cauliflower was hung, well I just wrote enough a few words back. read more
