About the Business

Nook is a unique and intimate family-owned restaurant located at 2138 Atwood Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin. Our restaurant is a reflection of who we are - adventurous, whimsical, and a little eccentric. We pride ourselves on using quality ingredients that are treated with respect and served artistically.
At Nook, guests can enjoy a communal dining experience in our 12-seat dining room, with no barriers between the chef and the diners. Our tasting menu features between 12-14 courses, with optional beverage pairings available.
If you're interested in booking a private party of 12, reservations can be made online on the 1st of each month for the following month. Please note that all twelve meals will be billed for private parties, regardless of attendance.
Owners Noah and Julie, who met while working in Chicago, have been dreaming of opening their own restaurant since moving to Madison in 2005. They finally realized their dream with the opening of Nook in November 2018.
Please be aware that Nook is located in a historic building, which may present some challenges for guests with physical disabilities. Our staff will do their best to assist with accessibility.

Reviews
"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."
"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!"
"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."
