    One of my favorite spots in Madison. Amazing wood fire pizza and the three cup chicken is a must. Can be tricky to get a spot for dinner depending on what time you show up - I don't think they accept reservations. My advice is to get there early and beat the crowd. Vibes are moody and fun with a dj playing in their back room. Can get loud so definitely not a spot for a more intimate dinner

    I have been meaning to check this place out so we came here to get some drinks and an appetizer before our dinner reservation somewhere else. What a cool place! There is no big sign outside, but they did have one of those sidewalk freestanding chalkboards, so it's fairly easy to find once you're in the general vicinity. All of the lighting is very red so it's hard to get a good picture of the food, but it really sets the mood when you're inside. Most of the drinks leaned more bitter and used dark liquor, the drink I got was gin based and pretty strong. The dumplings were really good!! I would definitely order them again

    I went back with a date , the food was excellent and this time the service was freaking excellent. That was the only downgrade last time , it was a cold night so maybe the crowds were not as restless as before. Again the ambiance is like a speak easy , dark & full of music . I love this place

    I took out dinner from here. 3 cup chicken was my first item. It was way too salty for my taste. I also went for a brie and apple pizza. I thought that was an ok pizza.

    Having heard about this place without a sign out front that is a hangout for late night hipsters we thought we'd give it a try. It was not late nor are we hipsters. As a matter of fact it was an early evening on a weeknight so thankfully the music was at a reasonable volume so we could talk. The decor is very red and very dim giving it a speakeasy vibe. We grabbed some seats, then tried another set and then on our third try found a table that would somewhat comfortably hold four people. We ordered some drinks - the beers were a reasonable price. The menu is very small unless you are a fan of dumplings which there are quite a few. Two of us ordered their pulled pork sandwich which was fine. Another got the pizza and gave it a thumbs up. Finally the fourth ordered the apparently popular three cup chicken (no one could explain the name). She liked it a lot. Interesting place but no need to rush back.

    The owner over at Broken Board Coffee put us on to this place... and it did not disappoint. So far our favorite dining experience in Madison. Small, cozy, dimly lit. Food was phenomenal. One of the most unique spots and is definitely a must try.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the city! This time I ordered the lamb skewers and the fish sando and it was delicious!

    It is, no doubt, an eclectic restaurant. Came here for dinner on Saturday night, and we were seated relatively quickly (~10 min wait) in the back, which was nice because it was too loud to converse with friends in the front end. Anyways, I tried the Aviation cocktail and the Veggie Dan Dan. It was pretty good, but the noodles seemed a bit oily and didn't come with tofu like I thought they would (maybe I'd meant to order something else). We also had the cheese wontons, which were an interesting try (not bad to try once but personally didn't love). Overall though, good food, pretty cool atmosphere, and great service!

    I am updating my review from 3 stars to 5 stars with Natt-Spil! My last visit of 3 stars was mainly due to slow, unprofessional, unorganized, inconsistent customer service but possibly due to lack of training and staff help. I also took the time to provide feedback on the customer feedback page and no management ever responded back to me last time at my request. However, during my most recent visit I had a much improved experience at Natt-Spil! You might easily miss this place walking right past it as it is not marked well from the outside near the downtown capitol! This place is truly one of the best kept secrets in Madison, WI. It's like a secret funky speakeasy or a hip underground club with funky disco music, Chinese food, and delicious fresh Artisan pizza coming out of a hot brick oven! It is a small place with a tiny bar area but full of cozy positive vibes! Beware they currently don't take reservations ahead of time so plan accordingly. The ambience is very dark, the music can be loud sometimes, with beautiful red lanterns on the ceiling with a mix of Chinese and Norwegian decor elements. Natt-Spil is a great place to go if you are looking for a place that serves food late until midnight! They often will have a DJ around 9pm playing some funky disco tunes which really liven up the place! They don't have a large food menu but their food is outstandingly delicious and packed with flavor! You have to try their amazing hot fresh crispy lamb wantons, spicy cheese wontons, and their shui mai appetizers which I am obsessed with! Their sauce for the spicy cheese wonton is out of this world which is a hot smoked tomato-cilantro puree! The spicy sauce was so good I scooped up the leftover sauce and cleared my plate clean of my sauce and so did my friends! :) The food was super hot, fresh, well seasoned, and made with a beautiful artistic presentation!! Everything I have tried so far on the menu has been incredible! Their 3 cup chicken is probably one of their most popular dishes which is a twist on chicken teriyaki, rice, and with a delicious unique pickled vegetables (tomato/cucumber) which works so well with the dish!! You will love their awesome pizza such as the brie and apple pizza! If you are craving seafood definitely try their delicious mussels in a rich creamy Chile Guajillo cream sauce or shrimp cakes!! They also have unique cocktails from the bar that will make your night even more fun! Although my daiquiri was small, the bartender nailed the classic daiquiri! This time around our server was well trained, attentive, and made our night very enjoyable! Natt-Spil is a super fun, unique, late night food spot right by the capital with incredible food! My friends and I had the best time there! This is definitely a must try spot in Madison!!

    Wild mix of southwest and asian flavors in for a brunch dim sum. Truly some unique dishes that just nail the overall flavor profile.

    It's a kitschy mix in here. There's a big dark speakeasy vibe, mixed with a lot Asian/Chinese decor elements and a Nordic/Scan vibes thrown in as well. We really lucked out and got a table right away at 7:30pm on a Thursday. We got spicy wontons which were delicious. They were spicy peanutty deliciousness porky. We got the Orange Dragon and Hi T cocktails. The tasted like sprite and the smallest hint of spice. It tasted like nothing really. The Hi T had more flavor but it wasn't anything to scream about. Pizzas were good. Solid flavor excellent crispy crunchiness. Check the pics for cheese pulls. TLDR: Definitely worth trying! Don't trust the drinks but DO trust the pizza

    This is an amazing speakeasy. We were pleasantly surprised when we entered the restaurant. This place was recommended to us from the bartender Terry at The Rigby. The food here was amazing. This place is managed perfectly. It is a well oiled machine. The chef's and bartender are very experienced. Drinks made perfectly by Glynis our bartender. The food was impeccable and full of flavor. James, Cash and Frank make everything fresh to order. The food is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is laid back, intimate, and the music is spot on. The vibe in this restaurant elevates your experience. I strongly suggest sitting at the bar and watching the staff work flawlessly. We will be back and I highly recommend coming here if you are in the downtown Madison area.

    The chicken panang curry was super duper. Wait staff very attentive. The place is larger than it seems from the outside.
