Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Madison

Everything was amazing it was so worth it we will definitely be coming back

Love everything and their attention to detail was great!

elena reached out before we arrived and made sure our evening was special! there was a gift and a personalized menu for my boyfriend, since we were celebrating his birthday. tiffany stopped by and made sure to wish him a happy birthday as well. everyone from the host stand to the food to the service was amazing. i feel bag for not remembering our server’s name, but she was wearing a red headband and had curly hair. she was so sweet and had great recommendations. we’ll definitely be back! great hospitality!

Our server, (forgot his name, but a tall and polite gentleman), took great care of us and brought us a free dessert and savory dish, as we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and our five year anniversary. Something I enjoyed about him too, is he was informative, guided us through how the menu works, but was not overbearing in his delivery or presence at the table. I’ve been to so many places where you can tell the server is being a bit performative and will drown you in details instead of reading the room and giving people time to process lol. What really stood out as well, was the fact that every staff member we interacted with, (the host, server, and THREE other employees on the floor), all knew we were celebrating and made a point to congratulate us. You could tell they pay attention to special details here. My partner and I are both in the service industry (fine dining), so we notice the small stuff and had no complaints! Even our water glasses never dropped below 3/4ths full. Also worth noting — the value you get for the delicious food, great ambience, and service is WELL worth the price. A wonderful dining experience without breaking the bank. Would highly recommend this place 👍🏻

This is a great place for families and those with young children. They have a better kids menu than most and have plenty of (paid for) fun add ons that delight a pre-schooler. The adults had fried gator as an appetizer, fish and chips, and blacked fish tacos. All were good and what we expected quality-wise. It wasn’t nearly as loud as we expected and the Dover and mermaid were extra fun in the aquarium. Our service was great from beginning to end and the staff seemed to be in good spirits. We will be adding this to our family special event rotation.
