I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fairchild with my wife, and we were both blown away by the food. As you can see from the pictures, we had a full course meal.

The service here was excellent. My cup was never empty and constantly refilled. The food was exceptional. Be careful with the small plates because you’ll want everything and it’s all worth it.

Fairchild was a glorious experience – I’ve lived in Madison for years but this was my first time at Fairchild! The service was very personable and attentive, and the menu seems small but really has something for everyone both in food and in drinks.

We had a very pleasant date at Fairchild. They have unique food offerings that are a nice break from the norm. We enjoyed the flavor combinations of all of the different components in each dish. We will keep Fairchild in the rotation of special occasions restaurants. The only negative experience during our meal was the noise level. It is a relatively small restaurant and doesn’t have much by way of sound absorption, so it got rather loud. Besides that, our servers were very attentive and made the experience very pleasant.

Best restaurant in Madison! Servers and bartenders clearly knew what they were doing. Great recommendations. Hats go off to the chefs. Truly inspired dishes. I recommend the deviled eggs and beef tartare to start. The bone marrow and morel mushroom appetizer was incredible.

Fantastic food and pleasant service. This laid back restaurant was on our list to dine at because of the Chefs’ recent awards (James Beard). The food didn’t disappoint. There was creative use of common and unique ingredients which made some of the dishes very memorable.

Fantastic food!! The best in Madison. We made a reservation ahead of time which is needed, especially on a Saturday evening. Great service, did not feel rushed at all. Drinks were delicious as well. Didn’t feel too upscale like other nice restaurants though food is outstanding!!! We had the beet salad, halibut, pasta filled with goat cheese, polenta and carrots. This is truly a 5 star restaurant!

Phenomenal. Wow. Pork trotter with fermented pea sorbet was an amazing combo of flavors and textures. Agnolotti pillow pasta with goat cheese filling was the best of all. All of the cocktails were ridiculously good. Need to get back here soon.

Fantastic Madison, WI restaurant. Small plate appetizers and tasty entrees. The menu changes daily and is focused but with enough variety to satisfy most people. I’ve eaten here since the pandemic and must complement them in how well they maintain the quality of their menu, the variety and delicious food during a time when many other restaurants experienced a significant drop in quality or breadth.

Fairchild lives up to all of the hype! I was greeted by an extremely friendly host who seated us quickly. We were then talked through the menu by our server. She was thorough and made great suggestions. My boyfriend and I ordered the deviled eggs, Maitake, beef tartare, agnolotti & pappardelle. The beef tartare was the single best bite of food I’ve had in 2023. Not one dish disappointed us. I also was rather impressed that our water glasses were never empty. We finished off our meal with the cobbler topped off with pistachio ice cream. Probably the greatest dining experience I’ve had in Madison thus far.
