Best Restaurants for Groups in Madison

Too write a review every time I go there seems redundant but it just seems to be better every time I do! Christi my server is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. There is nothing she can’t tell you about the menu and Michael the manager is just so sweet. Dibril the bartender is super great. I love going here as I know I will have a great time, great food and service. Thanks for another great evening!!

The drinks and food were amazing! The arancini with the melted parmesan from the garlic bread is a great combo and the fusilli pesto and radiatori vodka was great! We also got the dark chocolate budino and it was fantastic. Stef, our server, was great and so friendly. Will definitely come back another time!!

Great atmosphere, impeccable service. The food wasn’t the best steakhouse I’ve ever been too- but wasn’t bad. The shrimp cocktail was fresh, the cocktails were good- might have been better for a spot like this to have a mixologist on staff. The bread was amazing- however the truffle butter was over powering. Ordered a burger, bun was cheap- need to step up the bun and cheese game. The fries weren’t fresh cut, no onion rings on the menu- this is a steak house! In my party we ordered 2 different steaks and two sides. Corn bread wasn’t done all the way though, was soggy and underdone in center, creamed spinach was served in a small square bowl slopped on the side. Minor presentation things to work on. The salads we ordered weren’t show stoppers bacon bits from the freezer not lardons tossed in an abundance of dressing- instead of served on the side. Ordered the Freddie and the wedge. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great- but this spot didn’t earn my seal of approval to return or send people their way.

My wife and I always revisit our first date that we had at Treehouse during the holidays! Treehouse is a cozy and quant neighborhood staple in 5 points. This year our visit was nothing short of spectacular. The holiday decor was fun and definitely set the mood, and our service was welcoming and friendly. Our waitress, Kaytee had fun recommendations and was very hospitable. One of the things I love about a tentative server is that they don't interrupt conversation and they are perceptive enough to know when to get orders in and ask if we need another beverage. We started with the brussels sprouts, burrata, and chickpea fries. The brussels sprouts had a good flavor with a little kick, but the highlight of the appetizers was definitely the chickpea fries. Interesting flavor, and if you love tzatziki you will love this dish! For our entrées I did the pork chop, and my wife did the scallops. The scallops were definitely an appetizer so not a full dish, which was fine for my wife. My pork chop was cooked to perfection and very tender (could cut it with a butter knife). The wine selection is always on the smaller side, but they do keep the choices interesting and good for food pairings. We definitely miss the gourmet ice cream sandwich being on the menu for dessert, but we did the Coconut Panna Cotta, and it was a nice lighter dessert to compliment the cordials. Always a lovely evening at Treehouse. Thank you :)

This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.
