IN MADISON
A few great restaurants that we've discovered are:
The Tornado Steak House has fabulous steaks, great retro bar and wonderful service. It's a throw back to the great supper clubs from the past.
Tempest Oyster Bar is the sister restaurant to the Tornado Steak House and serves fantastic fish with great service.
The Bayou New Orleans Style Tavern is also a unique dining experience. We like to eat upstairs where you'll feell like you're overlooking the French Quarter from a balcony. The wall murals are amazing and you'll be able to watch the stars come with the ceiling light display.
