Cadre Restaurant

The first time experience was lovely. Both entree dished were delicious. As for desert, creme brûlée had some sort of liqueur in it which we didn’t care for as we excepted classic desert. The presentation was absolutely beautiful. The 20% service fee added by default set the experience a little on a wrong foot. While I understand the reason behind this approach, as a customer I rather pay higher dish prices. Transparency sometimes can be hurtful, as many reviews serve as prove. Otherwise, there is two hour parking lot on the same block, so parking was easy. The service was fine as well. Overall we enjoyed the menu offerings and the restaurant.

Cadre is one of my favorite places in Madison. Pretty much everything we have had there has been amazing. The staff is incredible and accommodating to my unique needs. The patio is a perfect little spot for outdoor dining. The happy hour has nice specials. They have wonderful drinks including non-alcoholic options. I highly recommend the moules frites, soups (that vary), and cheese curds. Price tag can vary widely- if you do a happy hour it can be quite cheap, or you can really go all out for a higher end expensive meal. It’s been a fantastic dining experience every time.

Loved every bit of it. The old fashioneds were the best my husband says he’s ever had, the cheese curds were amazing too! All from the atmosphere to the entrees and dessert. 5 stars.
