Blake Robertson: Best sushi not on a coast. Foie gras nigiri and kobe nigiri will blow your mind. Have a Hitachino Espresso Stout or a Momo Pearl Unfiltered Sake to wash it down. Best overall restaurant in town.
Thai Restaurant · State Street · 14 tips and reviews
Blake Robertson: The service here usually sucks, but the food more than makes up for it. Get the Pad Thai. If you're feeling tough get it 3 or 4 stars, then enjoy the burn.
Gastropub · Downtown Madison · 262 tips and reviews
Blake Robertson: Get your Wisconsin on. They have an amazing (and huge) tap list of Wisconsin beers, and the food feature all the classic Wisconsin fare. The lazy susans are outstanding.
