Mariner's Inn

Absolutely the best food I have ever had! Everything from the homemade rolls and appetizers right down to the main course was amazing. It was hard to not fill up on the rolls because they're very delicious. The seafood stuffed mushrooms are tasty as well. The lobster tail is hands down top quality. You will not find better anywhere else. It was a spurr of the moment decision tonight to visit and I am glad we did. This is now our favorite restaurant. The customer service is well oiled and runs as smooth as butter. Our waiter was on top of everything before we even had to ask. Well worth the money.

This was one of the worst dining experiences my husband and I ever had. I don't even know where to start. We sat down at our table at 6:45p and didn't get our food until almost 9:00p. The waitress kept apologizing that the kitchen was super backed up, but they kept sitting new tables and not telling them that the wait would be over 2 hrs for food. Our waitress had no idea what she was doing, never told us the specials, brought me a Spotted Cow when I ordered a n/a beer, offered us dessert even before our meals had arrived, and after a 2 hr wait for our food, brought my husband the wrong steak. When I finally got my steak (ordered medium), it was raw on the inside (one notch above rare). Never had a manager or anyone of importance walk through to apologize to people even though all of the tables around us were furious about the wait. The only positive thing I can say was that when the correct food was finally brought out to us, it was pretty good. Would never recommend anyone to go to this place. Even the best steak in the world would not be worth over a 2 hour wait.

First time here. Truly a Madison gem!! We had the surf and turf, clam chowder, and shared key lime pie, chocolate mousse, and the cheesecake. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere was that of a supper club but was nautical themed. Our server, Jill, was wonderful and made great recommendations. Drink were equally amazing: we had old fashioneds and lemon drop martinis. This place is a must if you are in the Madison area!!!!
