Nook

Amazing

If you are looking for a fun dining experience, it is a fairly nice option. The vibe is pretty friendly and casual; the plating is beautiful. However, when it comes to food I feel like (at least for our menu) they tried to put too many strong flavors on one dish and these are not always balanced. Sometimes too salty, too sour, or too sweet. (Especially the Mac and Cheese with pine and pretzel, way too much salt!! I can appreciate very strong cheese but it should be paired with something plain, not melted entirely as a cream sauce where the high salt almost tasted bitter and caused dizziness.) Among the 12 dishes, 2/12 really good appetizers raised expectations and 6/12 tasted OK, except that 1/12 was uneatable, 3/12 were a little disappointed concerning the flavor. I mean, it's definitely not a bad place as a cozy & creative family-owned restaurant, but it do need re-polishing for the menu.

Amazing. Perhaps the best meal I've ever had in Madison! Chef was entertaining and informative. Staff was attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend for a special night out.

One of the best culinary experiences you can have in the area. Our meal was a 14 course meal with wine parings. The food was excellent and brought your senses to life. Courses are colorful, artistic, fragrant, and come with a short story about the food and wine. The menu does change and many local foods are used. The staff is outstanding friendly and fun making the dinner atmosphere enjoyable by the room. One key feature is the small crowd size, our party had 12 people. The dishes are prepared in the open so you can watch and ask questions. Dietary restrictions: They accomidatel

I’ve been twice and food is the best I’ve ever had. Very nice people, both the service to the chefs. The whole experience is a great time, and I genuinely smiled nearly the whole time.

몇 번의 시도 끝에 예약에 드디어 성공! 아내 학기 시작 기념으로 갔다. 10개가 넘는 메뉴를 배부르게 맛볼 수 있다. 디저트가 네다섯개나 나온다. 아내가 좋아한 메뉴는 사슴고기(향이 독특하고 식감이 좋았음), 치즈요리 그리고 처음에 나온 계란요리이다. 전반적으로 색다른 요리들을 맛볼 수 있었으나, 우리가 느끼기에는 꽤 짜다고 생각되는 디쉬들이 있었으며 한 가지 재료를 몰아넣은 음식들(오이샐러드 - 아내는 거의 먹지 않았다. 나는 괜찮았다)이 있어서 호불호가 강할 수 있다. 모든 음식들이 비주얼이 좋다. 주인 아저씨가 재미있고 친절하게 각 음식들 스토리텔링과 재료를 설명해주신다. 하루에 12명 정도만 받는 것 같다. 다른 사람들과 한 방에서 붙어서 식사를 한다. 디저트가 맛있었으나 아내는 배가 불러서 다 못먹은걸 아쉬워했다. 신기한 미역같이 푸른 티도 처음 마셔보는 맛이 좋았다. 전체적으로 안먹어본 독특한 맛의 음식들이 많았으며 자극적이면서 기억에 강렬하게 남는 메뉴가 많았다. 흥미로운 경험이었다.

Truly amazing experience at Nook! We had incredible food, and while not every course was going to be our favorite (with 13 courses, how could they be!?), each course was interesting and kept us wanting to take more bites. The ambiance was the perfect blend of low-key and relaxed, while still providing effortless (from a dining perspective - the servers were putting in a LOT of effort!) top-notch service. An extra plus was my husband had to come 45 minutes late due to a last minute babysitter issue - Chef Noah and the Nook folks caught him up on all courses when he arrived, which was not at all expected but so so appreciated. We will definitely return on another special occasion date night. We'll be dreaming about the PB&J, pine bark, and squid courses for months to come!

The food is incredible, the owners are incredible, the service is incredible. This place is the toppest of tiers!
