My kids and grandkids had lunch here today and it is much more than a bread bakery. So much more,…read moreand all really good. The outside is pretty nondescript, but inside it is warm and inviting. The bakery case is filled with lots of yummy treats and the menu board has something for every taste, all freshly made. The Egg Salad has a Pesto addition which is really good, and all the other dishes were beyond good. The fruit was super fresh and very tasty. There are two small cozy dining areas. One has a window into the bakery area and the grandkids enjoyed watching the pastry chef work her magic. Parking is in the street or the small adjacent parking lot. While the location is accessible, the dining areas are a bit tight for a wheelchair. However, those at the tables would be happy to make room as needed.

This is a great vegetarian sandwich - I'm not sure if it can be made vegan. The kid's turkey sandwich is really nice and comes on a freshly baked roll with a generous side of fresh fruit-it doesn't come with mayo or another spread, so you might want to ask for. The bread was delicious and I was sad, but not surprised, there were almost no loaves left for purchase. The only negative was the greens served with the sandwich. The mixed greens were fresh, but had almost no dressing or any other veggies or toppings included.

The Cobb salad was good. I asked for the avocado dressing instead of the ranch and it tasted good. Pretty filling with the half order lobster bisque I ordered. The lobster bisque was lighter than what usual lobster bisque is. This one didn't taste like it had heavy cream I think. The next day I ordered the power bowl. Pretty good as well. I honestly would be stuck on deciding which to order again, it would probably depend on mood. The potatoe soup was good too. I also ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries. It was so good. Great dessert to a light meal. Staff was friendly and quick.

I really like the salad and I usually do their seasonal sandwich. This time it was a grilled cheese with bacon and apples that was quite good. I also lowered the rating a bit as this place just feels a bit too expensive for what you get as well as asking for tips when you need to get your own drinks as well as bus your own table.

When I say I've had the mango coconut curry 20 times. That is an understatement! I've had it more and I always get it because it's that good and flavorful. The staff there is so nice and I enjoy talking with them when I'm ordering and it's nice to see familiar faces when I'm back in town visiting. The ambiance of the restaurant is a cozy "hole in the wall" in the BEST way. It can get crowded if you go at a busy time so plan ahead (like go a little early or on a weeknight) and ENJOY! I can't recommend The Globe enough.

The creativity and uniqueness here have set a new bar for flavor in Madison. I've been to other Indo-Chinese restaurants, and, in a good way, this not even close to them. I'm not saying it's Michelin-star level, but it is original, memorable, and definitely earned a loyal customer every time I'm in town. PS: They have timely service. Pro tip: order the dumplings and the Afghan korma. You won't regret it.

We absolutely loved the immersive experience at Nook! The shared dining experience was social but i…read morewas still able to have conversation with the person I came with. We could tell a lot of thought went into the design and flow of the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented, flavorful, and full of creative twists on classic favorites. Like the strawberry tomato soup and the corn blueberry ice cream. The bison and other meat dishes were perfectly done and high quality. t's clear that the chefs take pride in crafting dishes that are both inventive and approachable, with local ingredients. I was also happy to find out they'll box up any courses you can't finish, which is great if you want to plan ahead for what to eat and what to take home. Already hoping I can get a reservation to go back.

I have been WAITING to come here and I was not disappointed. Honestly, if you want to try Nook (and…read moreyou should if you can) I would go in with no expectations and just experience it -- meaning stop reading this review after the first paragraph because it might give some spoilers. To start, reservations. They open a few months in advance at midnight on the first of the month... sucks for anyone not usually up at midnight but worth it. I locked in my reservation date at 12:03am, a coworker was also trying to get a reservation for the same month and it was sold out by 12:06am when he tried. So, know your date ahead of time, click refresh constantly starting at 11:59pm, and Godspeed! Now to my experience. I'm not usually wild about the 12course restaurants you see in Chicago or New York. The space is uppity, the people are obnoxious, and the food is... usually just fine. This is truly a Madison and a Wisconsin spin on that pretentious kind of environment, and it is so down to earth. It's a personal experience with the chef and staff that you can't get in the big city. They explain each meal and often would tell you where the ingredients came from nearby... sometimes the chef's backyard. There is one seating per night at 6:30pm and everyone is sitting together. The plates are served individually to each person, and technically there are six 2-person tables assembled together about 3-4 inches from one another to make a sort of single long table. I'd sort of been picturing one single long table, but this worked just fine. My party of 2 was near the middle, so it was fun to be able to have some inclusion on conversations on both side of the table.  And the food. Wow. Continuing the Wisconsin spin on a 12 course (this being 13 course) meal, these are not tiny plates. While each one is not a solo big meal, they are larger than I expected and I was legitimately full after course #4. And we hadn't even gotten to the "mains" at that point! They do box parts of the meal up for you if it's conducive to leftovers. That gave me dinner the next night as well. So pace yourself, and if it's something that would function as leftovers, try it and move on. I did the wine pairing with it, and they were also generous pours (9 of them) -- consider an Uber. I'm not a wine-o, but I figured when in Rome.... go all out. The wines actually did complement each meal really well.  This is a unique experience of fine dining you WILL not get at the fancy restaurants. If you are a foodie, this is a must. It's super low key, come as you are. We had people at our table in hooded sweatshirts and people in nice dresses as if they were ready for the symphony. All were welcome and nobody was judged. The chef is hilarious, the staff is so much fun and I was laughing constantly. They are truly part of the experience almost as much as the food itself. If this in in your budget, it is worth the stress of getting a reservation. Bravo. Oh, and if it's not obvious -- yes, the food is incredible.

It felt like most of the dish was just the noodles, and it was not balanced (ended up not finishing the noodles). Service is very straightforward. You order up front, and they deliver the food to you. After that, you put away your dishes/trash. Very standard noodle shop. Nothing too crazy. We came in at a pretty empty time (near 8pm), so service was not packed. It is a standard restaurant with standard seating options. Standard vibes only.

I ordered 2 old fashions to try a few off their menu and the classic was the best. Finished off with a whiskey sundae. All in all, I'd come back with a group for drinks but the food I got didn't impress me much. I'd try something different off their menu.
