The Dining Room

For a wonderful, upscale dining experience, The Dining Room is not to be missed. My husband and I went for an evening out and chose the 5 course dinner with the suggested wine course accompaniment. It was phenomenal. Each plate was expertly prepared and explained tableside along with the wine as to where it was from, expected notes and why it pairs well with the dish. Talk about spot on. A lot of thought went into the dishes and pairings. The service was impeccable as was the food. So if you're looking for an enjoyable evening out, I would strongly suggest you give this place a try.

We had dinner on a Saturday night and there was only one other group in the dining room, which already seemed like a bad sign. We were asked if we wanted drinks before we were given menus which was a bit confusing. I thought maybe a pre-drink was included in the price, but definitely not! We ended up ordering off the a la carte menu. The food was ok but I have had much better, especially at this price (>$400 including drinks). The salad was extremely bitter. The quail was salty. The duck was excellent but had no sides and was served on limp lettuce. My husband enjoyed the beef tartar, but the veal chop was just ok. The desert was good. Overall a decent but underwhelming experience at a price point where better service, atmosphere, and food was expected.

We had a superb dinner at the dining room this past Friday! We stayed at the Georgia Safari Conservation Park and made the quick trip into Madison to The Dining Room. The decor and atmosphere are on point - the music and lighting set the tone - you know you are somewhere special when you walk in the door and take it in! The service was excellent - thank you Andrew! Andrew also created our cocktails and did not disappoint. Everyone we came in contact with was warm, welcoming and wonderful! I haven’t even commented on the meal yet!! Delightful, delicious, creative, surprising are all words that apply. The plates were gorgeous and Chef killed the presentation. We chose the Chef’s Selection 4 course menu with wine pairings. We were not disappointed. I told my husband that the actual cours

We are Athenians who love to go to Madison when we can. For years, we have wished for a really lovely “foodie” spot in Madison, something along the lines 5&10 or other fine dining spots in Athens. The Dining Room is that spot, and more. I am not sure I have ever had better or more personal service, the wine was absolutely stellar, and the food was delicious and creative. We learned a ton about the wines we tried with our meal and discovered some new favorites. We watched other diners summon the chef to thank him personally, something I have not seen in a restaurant in years. We share a sentiment those diners expressed - fear that leaving positive reviews and letting “the cat out of the bag” would mean that the restaurant would become so popular and crowded that we’d never get a table in t

The food here is michelin star worthy. My wide and I ate there and the food was perfect. I did the wine pairing which was spot on. My wife and I are lactose intolerant and the chef made our 4 course meal work to perfection. The food is Atlas quality for sure at half the price. We will be returning
