Recommend “things to eat and do” in Madison, WI

[rwsaunders]

Mrs. RW and I are going to make the most out of a board meeting/business trip to Chicago and head to Madison next Friday afternoon, with a scheduled tour of Taliesin on Saturday. Dining tips, coffee, etc. from the collective would be much appreciated and we will be staying downtown if that adds more direction to the request…thanks.

My recommendation was going to be go to Chicago.

Can't offer any dining tips but can say that you should really enjoy Taliesen. We were there in July and took the extended estate tour. Well worth it if you enjoy that sort of thing.

It’s been about a dozen years but we stayed at the Speckled Hen Inn outside of town. It’s a hobby farm and very quiet. The Madison Lakes room is more modern and located in a different part of the inn.

Can’t recall our dining choice back then. There’s a lot of decent pub grub on the square around the capital.
