MADISON RESTAURANT RECS
Hi ladies! My one year anniversary is on Sunday (OMG!!!) and I haven't made any reservations for dinner yet. Any suggestions on a great restaurant to go to celebrate in Madison or surrounding areas? TIA!!!! 
Re: MADISON RESTAURANT RECS
Yayayayayayyyy! Happy (early) Anniversary!
I like Eno Vino, because I'm a wino. And because I know how to get there.
I'm sure there are a ton of cool places downtown that will get suggested too, but I haven't been to them yet, so I guess I'm really not much help. (Though, I have heard Harvest is good...and Restaurant Magnus... and L'Etoile...)
I'm a big fan of Lombardino's (partially because it's down the street).
Sardine is also really good, as is Magnus.
Happy Anniversary! Hmmm....where to start??
As others have suggested, Eno Vino is fantastic. I also really like Harvest. Restaurant Magnus has a "New Scandanavian" menu now, so it may not be what it used to be, just an FYI. For special occasions DH and I have dined at Fresco ( http://www.foodfightinc.com/fresco.htm), good food and a nice view. Quivey's Grove Stone House ( http://www.quiveysgrove.com/), Le Chardonnay ( http://lechardonnay.homestead.com/), and not as fancy as the others, but still very nice: Liliana's in Fitchburg (http://www.lilianasrestaurant.com/). I also reviewed Villa Dolce (Middleton) in my blog if you are interested. Have fun choosing!
If you're not set on going on your actual anniversary, it's Madison Restaurant Week through Friday. Some of Madison's best restaurants offer three course dinners for $25/p.
Was just going to say this! It's a great way to check out local places for less $$ than you'd usually spend. Happy Anniversary!

We thought about doing it, not as an anniversary thing, but just for fun. But I'm also lost about which one is a good deal. I could always just the use the old "close my eyes and point" method.
Thanks everyone for the anniversary wishes!
A friend of mine went to Ruth Chris last night for the Madison Restaurant Week special and said it was AMAZING. I've always heard that place is fantastic, but pricey, so this would be a good time to check it out if you're interested.

Louisianne's in Middleton is great for Cajun.
I second that. I've been to Fleming's, Ruth Chris, Smokey's, Tornado Club, Madison's and my favorite by far is Lousianne's. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, hot bar manager
So we ended up going to Eno Vino. It was awesome! Great food, great wine, and they even gave us our dessert (the chocolate fondue) for free since we put it was our 1 year anniversary on opentable.com. Woo hoo!!! Thanks for all the recs.
Oh, and in case you were curious, I ended up buying our replacement top tier at la Brioche. I also ended up just getting buttercream, BUT they messed up on our filling. I ordered raspberry, and they gave me apricot. So I'm gonna try to go back and get my money back. I definitely don't need another cake, because that cake was ginormous!
YAY FOR ONE YEAR DOWN!!!
