Bistro 525

"Just had the best lunch here! Even on a Badger GameDay, the staff was so attentive and friendly. Thank you to Tom, Naomi, Aaron, Patrick, and Kelsey!!! The bistro burger was amazing! Highly recommend that to everyone as well as the BLT wrap, and the cheese curds! Definitely would recommend this to anyone coming through Madison!!"

"I only had drinks here, but they were delicious. Definitely recommend the Strawberry Cucumber Mojito! Pictured is the Mai Tai (so cute!)"

"Our food was very good!! The service was awesome and very helpful. We will be eating there again during our stay."

"Ordered there a bunch of times while I stayed at the hotel. Their beer selection is awesome and I could t get enough of that spotted cow while I was there. Actually had some solid wings for being a hotel restaurant too!!"

"I would love to give this place 5 stars. It’s a really nice, modern high-class restaurant. It has a certain elegance. The waiters and staff were very nice. It’s a new place with so much potential. However I have to be realistic. The food was good. That is all I can say. Cheese curds ($10) were better than average with a good sauce. Flatbread ($14) was also good. However the ($28) steak frites were overpriced and underwhelming. It was french fries with a few ounces of steak and a dipping sauce. Together it tasted fine. The french fries were excellent. But the steak was poorly seasoned, bland, and somewhat chewy. The sauce made up for it. But I was entirely disappointed because for $28 I can find almost anything better. The menu also seemed haphazard. So many random menus thrown on. It wants to be a nicer restaurant and the prices and atmosphere reflect that, but the food remains behind. It’s not bad, but just not worth the $70 I paid that night for two."
