Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Madison

A dinner well worth booking as soon as you can (even if that is a month out)! We’ve been waiting for Kase to open since it was first mentioned to us when dining at their sister restaurant Noko. Everything from the moment you step into the entry bar is cozy and inviting. Arriving slightly early so you can enjoy a drink before the seating is a must! The mocktails rival any of their cocktails, so there’s something for everyone. The dining room is intimate and just 14 seats, but the noise level never got to a point that the small space did a disservice to the experience. You get an upfront seat to the chefs and they breakdown each piece as they plate it in front of you. Our personal favorites were course 1- hamachi and the middle courses serving 3 different cuts of tuna. We were celebrating a birthday and this is very much a perfect option for special occasions. The value is unmatched for Nashville without compromising on quality or creativity. As others have said before the playlist is indeed on point! Congratulations to the Kase x Noko team on a second 10/10 restaurant!

This was a really cool experience. The jazz music and singing provided a great environment. The scallops were amazing! The housemade blue cheese was great with the wedge salad. The chicken was dry unfortunately, but our overall experience was great. We will have to check out the burlesque show next time!

The flavors were amazing and the waiter was incredible. Also was able to try a few off-menu cocktails that were spot on. This place will definitely be a repeat stop on our next visit.

This is our special place. We couldn’t never not have an amazing time here. We love the vibes and amazing food. Not to mention the amazing service. We have been 5-6 times now with different servers each time and every time was better that the last. Highly recommend and we will be going back many more times to come!

Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.
