Sardine had been recommended as a great place for brunch and delivered in all respects. The venue looks a little odd from outside. (But who hangs around outside?) The wonderful dining room is spacious and airy with views over the lake at one end. For a leisurely breakfast it scored full marks. The service was friendly and not rushed. The... More

We went as a group of 13 diverse diners. The atmosphere was great, the fool mostly good, the wait staff very personable, the pacing POOR! We dined early (5PM) with a reservation, knowing that we were a large group and needed to be at a presentation by 8:00. Two and half hours later, desert was not an option, or we... More

This was our first visit to Sardine, and we will be back. Great happy hour-spent it at the bar and had wine and half priced oysters. The doors were open and the view of Lake Monona was beautiful. We sat at a table by the window and had a pleasant and helpful waiter. We asked for recommendations and he gave... More

We went as a large group to Sardine for dinner. The food and atmosphere was average for the price. The staff was friendly. I had the Salmon and it was tasty but not much different than most restaurants.

We had brunch here last Sunday. The food was great along with the service and managements attention to its customers was wonderful. It was a little cool for us to sit outside, but it would be great in nicer weather. We did have a nice table by the windows - the restaurant has a nice view of the lake. Plan... More

Ambiance and food were great and the brunch cocktails were a good price but our service was a little lacking.

I've been to Sardine's brunch four times now and it's never failed to impress me. From the professional and welcoming staff, to the exquisitely prepared food, to the electic vibe and the nice water view, I continue to recommend this restaurant for brunch. I absolutely love the Belgian waffle and the Mimosas and Bloody Mary's are superb. Now I just... More

A foursome each celebrating a personal achievement. Two of us have some annoying dietary restrictions. We chose Sardine. The service was excellent, we felt very well attended. A different friend told us they have the best roast chicken in Madison. So I tried it. And yes, it was tender and the compliment of herbs was delicious. The serving was large... More

I spend a great time in february having dinner in this restaurant. Amazing views, Nice decor, splendid food with a very respectable wine list. The bar looks awesome, and overall, a great dinner. I read about their "sunday Brunch", so... obviously, I reserved a table for the next Sunday. The place was packed! (what didn't bother me), but what really... More
