Nook

We just enjoyed our UW commencement celebration at Nook. Our party of 8 had a terrific time. The atmosphere, service, and food were all superlative. Bring your appetite, open mind, and sense of humor and you will have a memorable and special night. Thank you Noah, Julie, and team! (Mostly Bruce)

Nook has some of the best cuisine Madison has to offer. Their tasting menu consists of about 14 courses. The chef walks you through each of the courses before you begin to eat. The chef had a great personality and he made it seem like I was visiting an old friend with his charm and hospitality. The seating is communal style for 12 people, so you better get ready to socialize a bit at this dinner. I am vegetarian and Nook created a separate tasting menu for me. The food was delicious and innovative. Some of the dishes were so unique that I had never heard of them before. My favorite was a pesto pasta created from heart of palms. I even bought some heart of palms the day after to try and recreate this masterpiece of a dish. I went on my birthday and I even got a small “cake” made of chocolate ganache with a candle on it. I would definitely eat here all the time if the price was lower, but there is no doubt I will return for another meal the next time I get a chance.

The ever-changing menu and genuine love the owners/chefs have for what they do makes for a truly unique experience. You don’t know what you’re going to eat, but you can count on still thinking about at least a couple of the dishes months later because they are just that good.

Most excellent experience. This was our first time at Nook and the food was absolutely incredible. Each course was impeccably executed, both visually and by taste. Chef Noah was an absolute joy. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant, Madison is so fortunate to have the Nook!
