I had dinner plans, so I just wanted to stop in for a drink and snack. They have some really good offers for HH and their cheese curds are half off. I had never had one, so it sounded like the perfect time to try. I got a glass of wine and the curds. They came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was a big bowl of fried cheese. They come with ranch and hot honey, and apparently they recently won best cheese curd at the cheese curd crawl. They were super tasty. Well seasoned, perfectly fried, and kind of chewy. I am not on the hot honey frenzy train, but I tried it and thought it paired well, just wasn't for me. The ranch was tasty though. Even the happy hour portion was hefty and I couldn't put down half. A little wine and cheese on a beautiful day, just makes for a good experience. They were making some pretty interesting cocktails behind the bar, and it is definitely worth coming back to try out their other options.

The fries were over cooked. My son had the Mac n cheese with chicken that he enjoyed. We also ordered a salad which was fresh and tasty.

Our favorites drinks were the Mad Hatter (comes in a cute little cup), The Last Word (which came with blue flames on top ), Shy Girl, and a fig/blueberry cocktail (I can't remember the name--but it was delicious) The fried cheese curds were also SO good and definitely worth ordering. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we actually came back the very next day for happy hour The happy hour was such a great deal, and we had another wonderful experience with our waitress, Bella G.

A Classy Watering Hole with a Million-Dollar View! My review is for DRINKS ONLY, don't judge!…read more Perched on the 10th floor of the AC Hotel, Eno Vino offers one of the most spectacular views of Wisconsin's Capitol building. Seriously, the view alone is worth the elevator ride! We rolled in Thursday evening (10/22) with a sizable USC contingent, ready for cocktails, conversation, and a little Thursday Night Football. The Bears beat the Patriots, and yes, they have televisions for those of us who appreciate football with our fancy cocktails. Of all the establishments I frequented during my Madison weekend, this was easily the most "adult." Sophisticated, modern decor, stylish lighting, and an upscale atmosphere without feeling pretentious. A refreshing departure from the college-bar scene! The cocktail selection is impressive, with creative concoctions, an extensive wine list, and a full bar. Yours truly stuck with my signature Ketel One martini, up, SUPER dirty...scratch that, FILTHY, with two blue cheese olives. Perfection! Special kudos to Neil, who did an outstanding job keeping our entire crew "hydrated" throughout the evening. Judging by our bar tab, he certainly earned his keep! Admittedly, my recollection gets progressively hazier, but the company was terrific, the cocktails flowed, and the view was unforgettable. Fun, elegant, and a killer atmosphere. Eno Vino delivers! Fight On!

Pros: Great that they are open late - convenient to hotel guests and beautiful views of the Capitol and overall a nice vibe. Not super fancy but definitely nicer. My server was super welcoming and friendly - wish I had caught her name! They have an all day HH on Sundays which is a pretty good value! Half off a bunch of apps and then drink discounts as well. Cons: The drink I got (Hot Guava Summer) was just ok. Not bad but nothing special -- it tasted a bit watered down. I wanted the chicken tandoori skewers ($24 but $12 on HH) but unfortunately they were out of this dish! Instead I opted for the "bruschetta" which you can choose any 4 for $28. I opted for the sweet corn (too mayo-ey), fresh mozzarella (decent), brie & apple (decent), and prosciutto (decent). These all sounded really good but execution was not great. Some were too salty while others had flavors that didn't seem to totally jive. Also, the bread is super thick like french bread almost (definitely not traditional bruschetta). I ate most of the toppings and left behind a bunch of the bread.. I appreciated the variety in textures and toppings but this is not something I'd order again. Maybe the other food items are better so worth giving them another chance perhaps... This place is fine in a pinch, but next time I'd likely stick with a glass of wine and enjoying the view.

I came on a weeknight around 6pm and had no trouble getting a table for 3. But it's a very small and narrow space so I imagine it can get pretty full on a weekend.

I also tried the Jungle Bird cocktail, which I enjoyed.
