One & Only

"The one and only is a fine madison, wi restaurant in Monroe street. Parking in the street is usually available before 6 pm. After 6 pm you may need to drive into nearby residential streets. The food is consistently delicious except for most of the desserts. The Keylime pie is always delicious and has big fans. I love bread pudding, however, it was cooked in a very different style that rendered it dry and more crunchy.l - not what I preferred. The appetizers are delicious and varied. The entrées are fantastic most recently the special chicken Parmesan was incredibly tasty and very nicely breaded. I enjoyed the polenta previously, and they were very kind to add some pork belly on top of it, which is a delicious twist. as a homage to prior establishment in the same location, brasserie v, they have a delicious collection of Belgian ales. For those that like brown drinks, they seem to have a pretty good collection of rye and bourbon as well though I haven’t tried it overall this is a great new favorite restaurant and the prices are reasonable for a medium higher end restaurant."

"Excellent food and service, the cocktails were excellent as well. Our server was attentive but not overwhelming. Prices were pretty reasonable, at comparable places you can expect to pay $30-50 more. My only complaint is that entree portion sizes are pretty paltry. If you don't get an appetizer you should probably expect to leave still peckish."

"Went in last night to support Madison Restaurant Week. The place has a great simplicity vibe & felt a little like home. Our server Jaz was Aaaahmazing! Friendly, information and on top of service. The food was delicious, would love to come back in for that short rib dish if it ever goes on menu. Also look forward to going back for the beers on tap, Duchesse de Bourgogne Sour specifically! Oh, and they even had some a amazing mocktails that my kid could enjoy!"

"Stopped in for Brunch. New design is fantastic. Open, welcoming atmosphere that felt classy yet comfortable. They did a great job of freshening the place up while keeping it cozy and familiar for those that used to frequent Brasserie V. Brunch menu…could have been brunchier. The menus are small and both brunch and dinner have only have one vegetarian main. (Two for brunch-if you want pasta for brunch.) Pescatarian options for both are much better. The shrimp and grits were good, but not amazing. The Bloody Mary was interesting, but trying a little too hard to be unique. Bartender was knowledgeable and helpful with finding another good cocktail that topped off brunch nicely though. (Too tasty to be pictured). I think O&O is laying the groundwork to be an amazing local spot. I love the new open windows that make you feel like you’re part of your neighborhood community. There’s something enticing about this spot that even though it wasn’t a perfect first try, I’m eager to go back and try again. Go support a new local business and see for yourself!"

"Lovely experience! Decor was impressive and inviting. Bartender was knowledgeable and helpful. Beer was served in proper glass. Cocktail was tasty and beautiful. Outstanding fries and beef tartare. Only wish we lived closer."
