Restaurant Magnus, Madison

Magnus is a very stylish restaurant and lounge located in beautiful downtown madison, 3 blocks from the Capitol. Menu choices are updated seasonally and never dissapoint. This restaurant is my favorite for many reasons. The portions are generous and world class, unique salads, soups and breads begin your meal. Magnus easily serves the finest cuts of South American meats, especially their Diablo Fillet, Elk and amazing cut of Lamb. The drinks are top notch and are worldly. In addition several rare cognac's and tequila's are offered to discriminating patrons. The ambience is amazing with deep textures and gold tones filling the dining room and a darker, more serious tone fills the lounge. Magnus also has a banquet room for rent in case you wanted to have a birthday or wedding there. The waitstaff is well trained and clean kempt as well as possesing the unique ability to remember many of their customers names and therefor making you feel like you are welcomed and at home. Because of the combination of style, great food, great service, location and fantastic drinks, Magnus has become my favorite place to bring a date for a more personal evening. BTW, the owners regularly frequent the establishment and are happy to make smal talk or ask how your experience was and welcome you back! Live music in the lounge at least once a week tops the Magnus cake and sets Magnus apart as a real gem in the Madison dining community. Three thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!
