Nook

Holy crap. Go here. I have nothing else to say. Just go.

I've eaten all over the world, this is one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in my life. It's not fussy and rehearsed to the moment, instead down to earth, delicious and free flowing with a 90s hip hop soundtrack and laughter abounding. Run do not walk to this restaurant.

If you’re willing to splurge on a creatively fun, eclectic dining experience in Madison, WI, this one’s for you. Securing a reservation takes some planning (our friend booked the dinner on the first of the month at Midnight) We enjoyed a thoughtfully curated 13-course tasting meal. Truly plenty of food, we left extremely full and very satisfied. The staff and chef were familiar. The hip-hop/rap background music wasn’t our style, but we were too busy enjoying the food, stories and conversation to notice. Looking forward to going again. Well done!

The pictures are only a small sampling of all the delicious dishes we enjoyed. Dinner was delicious, and a truly amazing experience. I cannot say enough about how accommodating and welcoming the chefs and staff were to all of us. Our group was the entire restaurant for the evening and it was a lovely evening for all of us. I think of myself as a somewhat picky eater and selected the vegetarian menu. All of the dishes from start to finish were varied but so tasty. You will not leave hungry!

Getting a reservation at Nook was so difficult, but it’s worth it. Each course was delicious, had unique flavors, and was artistically presented. Even if you think you don’t like a flavor, Nook will make you question that.

Amazing food, fun crew, chill atmosphere. Definitely go if you can get a reservation!

Easily the most exciting culinary experience of my life. I simply cannot say enough good things about the food, the service, the chef, and the experience.

It took a lot of waiting and hoping to get a reservation, but it was so worth it. The chef and team are wonderful, warm and charismatic. The servers are knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was incredible and the camaraderie of sharing a table with others was a joy in connection and commiseration, as we were all painfully full by the end. I’ve never had so much fun throughout a meal. We can’t hardly wait to go back.

Cozy atmosphere with only 12 seats a night. Delicious food and immaculate vibes!

Phenomenal range across this large tasting menu. Dishes ranged from comfy potato chips and potatoes with french onion dip to a sous vide chicken breast in a ground cherry mole. Throughout, they paired big flavors with impeccably balanced beverages. A must-try for gastronomes.

We loved this place. Great food, amazing service and perfect music. We found it somewhat challenging to get reservations due to there only being 12 seats a night but it was well worth the wait!! Can't wait until we can try it again.

Phenomal food . Would recommend
