    Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!! Literally love this place! Such a special spot. Literally the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. Pretty much my all time favorite restaurant!

    Steak frites - A white oval plate contains sliced cooked steak, seasoned French fries, a side salad with mixed greens, and a small bowl of creamy dipping sauce. The plate is placed on a wooden table, with some condiments and a blue object visible in the background. The presentation suggests a meal featuring steak and fries with a fresh salad accompaniment.

    I discovered the Deliciouser only a few months ago and finally got to stop in for dinner. Cool restaurant interior with an open kitchen. We ordered the heirloom tomato toast, wagyu beef tartare, the steak frites, and the ricotta gnudi. Everything was cooked well and had good flavors. The sauce in the toast and tartare were very similar and felt a little too saucy for me but it was still good. Steak was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the aioli it came with.

    Interior - The image shows a restaurant or cafe interior with a dark ceiling and warm lighting from hanging fixtures. Several tables are set with plates, glasses, and cutlery, some with white tablecloths and others with wooden surfaces. Chairs with colorful cushions surround the tables. In the background, shelves hold books and decorative items, and two people are standing near the back of the room. The space has a cozy, eclectic atmosphere with a mix of decor and functional elements.

    What an experience for sure. This is one to visit if you're in downtown Madison. Upon first glance you wouldn't realize this was the old bus station but what a face lift. The owner and chef were there making sure everyone was taken care of and not a thing out of place. The 5 course meal provided was one to really admire. Everything was cooked to perfection and servings were perfect for the amount of courses. There is a bar and a wide variety of house drinks or you can go with your fav classic. If ever in Madison do stop by.

    Went here for a date night before a concert. The food was fabulous and the service was really great. Our waitstaff suggested awesome dishes. My favorites were the panzanella and the ricotta gnocchi dish. The decor is really cool since the space is so open. There is an eclectic feel with seasoning mixes that they make and sell, local goods that they sell and also the wall of wine for purchasing. Anyway, a great place to go for a nice night out.

    So great! Went for a pescatarian curry making workshop, featuring their night market spice blend. The chef was so knowledgeable, and we even got to tour the spice lab! So fun and delicious!! I also picked up their espresso salt which is now my new favorite thing on vanilla ice cream!

    This was without a doubt the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. The service was incredible. Prices are more fair than I expected. Drink menu was incredible, food was delicious and desert was unbelievable. Do not skip out on this experience.

    Nice N/A selection to go

    we loooove a good tasting menu + wine pairing! delectable offers fine dining on fridays and…read moresaturday nights & cooking classes during the week! not quite as intimate of a dining experience as nook but is along the same line. we got a reservation at the bar a week before so doesn't seem overly difficult to obtain. the menu switches up about 4x a year depending on the season. the chef and sommelier here did an excellent job introducing each dish/drink, and the wine pairings were chosen well!!! I love that you can see them prepare each of the dishes on the screens by the kitchen. excellent service as well, staff did a great job at taking away dirty plates/glasses and replacing accordingly. I also thought each round was spaced out well so that I was never waiting for too long or had too little time to eat. There was a blindfold round where we had to rely on just taste & touch to figure out what we were eating which was both silly and fun (we found out what we were eating at the end and got some more as a gift to go). my personal fav of the meal was the sun meadow chilean sea bass!!! the sun meadow oil is a perfect dupe of butter and melted straight into that sea bass, paired with crunchy capers on a bed of creamy whipped goodness. All of the sauces were done extraordinarily well, especially that under the braised leeks!!! the tuna tartare was my bf's fav - crunchy toppings with fresh tuna on avocado in a spicy, asian inspired sauce. we were less impressed by the raviolo and steak entrees but still good (the chili oil on the raviolo kinda threw me off). the intermission was nice as a brief break to shop around and purchase things at a discount. overall, pricy meal but definitely a whole experience (3 hours long that is!). would highly recommend trying this out if you also enjoy fine dining experiences. I personally wanna come back to try their wednesday night burgers soon!!

    I visited DelecTable in Madison for a multicourse chef's tasting experience. The restaurant leans…read moreheavily into the idea of dining as an experience, leaning into the European way of dining - that is, you have the table for the night." Think dining as the entertainment and the social experience, not shoveling it in and table turnover for tips. With creative presentations, themed courses, and a strong emphasis on sensory elements, the team puts a lot of thought and passion into crafting something unique. The multicourse meal offered a wide range of flavors and techniques--some dishes were genuinely impressive, others more about the concept than the taste. The pacing was smooth, and the staff was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in making the night feel special. It's the kind of place where you sit back and let the experience unfold. That said, for me, it landed in the category of "worth doing once." The evening was fun and distinctive, but more of a special-occasion outing than a spot I'd return to regularly. If you enjoy immersive dining or want something out of the ordinary, it's definitely worth trying at least once.

I probably visit this shop every couple of months and rarely leave empty handed! The thoughtfully curated and well organized candle department is usually my first stop. Lots of variety, a recent favorite is the "supper club" collection. Lots of classic Wisconsin themes! There are gifts for all ages, from infant toys and books to puzzles and cooking kits. The kitchenware is an impressive range, everything you need to expand your skills, store your goodies, or spice up your presentation. Basically, you have to stop in-it's totally worth it! Also, the wonderful staff have gone above and beyond to create a safe and protective shopping experience during this crisis. Please respect them, give space and keep those masks over your nose!

    I used to LOVE this store. Adorable and eclectic gifts, great location, pretty darn charming. In…read morethe past, my experiences with the employees were also pretty darn charming, or at least satisfactorily neutral. The last time I was in the store, however, I was made to feel chastised and unwelcome, and while I recognize that this is a very personal response to an impersonal slap down, it left me feeling so stung that I doubt I'll return. What happened was this: I needed a new pair of reading glasses, and I'd gotten the most adorable Peepers from this store in the past. It was 5:50pm, and I saw on their door sign that they closed at 6pm. Great! I thought. I'll pop in and grab a pair. Immediately upon entering, one employee said, "You know we close in ten minutes." "Got it! I'll be quick!" I replied. I went to the rack of glasses, considered a few pairs, and checked the fit in the little mirror on the rack. In that little mirror, I could see the employee behind me, who was frowning and rolling her eyes in exasperation, mouthing to her fellow employees on the other side of the room that , "No, not yet, she's still here." Yikes, I thought, checking my watch. It was 5:55pm, so I chose a pair and went to the register. One last thing--I wanted to get an e-cloth, a product a different employee had recommended to me the last time I was there. I mentioned this to the employee as she grouchily said, "Will that be all?" She huffed, "Well, the e-cloths are in a different part of the store." She strode off, and I said, "Any one will do!" She said, "No, just come pick the one you want." She proceeded to lead me to a section of wash cloths and sink cleaning scrubby brushes? When I explained that no, I was looking for a microfiber cloth to clean the lenses of the glasses with, and that they used to be stocked at the register, she huffed again and said, "Well, they're not anymore, are they? Also, we're just about to close...?" I bought the glasses, walked out the door, and checked my watch. 5:59pm. But golly, those nine minutes I spent in their store, encroaching on what I assume was their rush to be done and escape their pesky customers, left a bad taste in my mouth that nine days later still hasn't left. Which is a bummer. As I said, I really liked that store. Problem is, the cutest merchandise in the world can't make up for poor customer service.

I'm obsessed with chocolate! @cocovaa has been on my must-try list forever, and I finally made it there just in time before their summer break. When I arrived, most of the treats were sold out, but I got to sample everything that was left. And wow, the chocolates were pure magic, and the exceptional service from the owner and her son made it even sweeter. Here are the flavors I tried: Coffee Creme Brulee - Caramelized sugar on top of coffee & vanilla bean white chocolate ganache, encased in white chocolate. Persian Saffron - Persian saffron-infused white chocolate ganache, encased in dark chocolate. Hazelnut Praline - Milk chocolate & hazelnut praline blended with crispy croquant, encased in dark chocolate. Lemongrass Pear Frangipane - Lemongrass & pear purees encased in dark chocolate with an almond chocolate bottom. Blueberry, Lemon & Lavender - Lemon caramel on top of blueberry and lavender-infused ganache, encased in dark chocolate. Turkish Coffee - Coffee and cardamom-infused single-origin Venezuelan dark chocolate ganache, encased in dark chocolate. Key Lime Pie - Key lime caramel on top with a cookie crunch bottom. Every bite was a delight. Can't wait to go back for more!
