Was Benjamin Muir at Settle Down Tavern a mag?
Dined with a group of 4 here for a birthday celebration. Overall the experience outweighed the quality of the food, we all ordered burgers with fries. Burgers were just too salty but still very good, fries were okay pretty basic. The Cheese Curds are a must order! So yummy especially with their house made ranch. Atmosphere was great! Soft yellow lighting gave a fireplace aesthetic to the experience. Our waiter was ve... View all feedback.
What Kelly marquardt dislikes about Settle Down Tavern:
The food was not great. The lamb sandwich was dry and tasted like it was a thawed frozen patty. The fries were okay, but I didn't care for the sauces. Overall, the prices are quite high for what you receive, and the portion sizes are very small. The service was... View all feedback.
I was especially hungry and eager for food. Eventually, after placing our drink orders, my fiancé received an Old Fashioned that was overwhelmingly bitter, while my girlfriend had a martini-like drink that was just average. I ordered a Tito’s and Red Bull, but they were out of Red Bull, so I asked for a simple glass of Cabernet. To my surprise, they didn’t have that either and instead offered me a list of wine-like beverages, at which point I was ready to just stick with water. We decided to share a small beet salad while waiting for our friends to finish their tiny sandwiches, but it wasn't worth what we paid. By the time we got the bill, other places nearby had already closed, leaving us feeling hungry and sober after our first experience downtown. As someone who works in the service industry, I would rather eat ham wraps from my cooler in the hotel than return. Overall, Settle Down Tavern, your service and food didn't impress at all.
The food is extremely overpriced, and the portions are surprisingly small. The smash burger, while tasty, is $13 and comes with two very thin patties on a tiny bun. If you want fries, that's an additional $4.50 for a small serving. I'd much prefer to go to 'Bou, Baldwin Street, or any number of East Side dive bars, where I can get a full-sized burger, a basket of fries, and a couple of beers for the price of just two tap beers here. The space is nice, but the prices are just too high for what you get. This is Madison, WI – not Midtown Manhattan.
This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in downtown, and possibly in all of Madison! It’s the first place I take visitors or friends returning to the city after a long time away. The cocktails are amazing, the food is delicious, and they have gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options available. You can also choose your preferred ambiance, whether you want to sit in the tavern with a traditional supper club vibe or in the atrium with its high glass ceilings and lush greenery. I highly recommend it!
I had an amazing first experience at Settle Down Tavern! The indoor and outdoor dining spaces are absolutely charming. My sister and I both tried the PRIT' NEAR burger with a beef patty and shared a side of French fries. We both agreed it was the best burger we've ever tasted, and the paprika mayo on the fries was simply delightful! I also enjoyed a Moscow Mule and a glass of rosé, which paired perfectly with the burger—I highly recommend trying it. The glassware was stunning, too. To top it all off, the service was fantastic. Our server, Trey, was among the best I've ever encountered; he explained the menu thoroughly and made us feel relaxed and well taken care of. While it’s a bit pricey for the portions, the deliciousness makes it worth it. I definitely plan to return!
I really love the ambiance of this restaurant. The blue subway tiles and the 1950s diner-style tables and chairs create a great vibe, and I appreciate that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is nice and concise, featuring some unique options. My only wish is that the burgers came with fries or chips; the plate looks a bit empty with just the burger, but I still enjoyed it!
