This is one of my favorite places in Madison and it is the one I return to whenever I have out-of-town visitors. They have two size options for their entrees, meaning i get to enjoy their glorious brussel sprout salad with a small plate without leaving painfully stuffed. Their lobster bisque is delectable, and is an experience to enjoy, as they create a beautiful arrangement of lobster meat and cracklins then pour over the flavorful broth. Beautiful. When you come between 5-7, you get 30% off of your bill (including wine, woohoo!).
The best thing about 43 North, though, are the scallops. They are my very favorite meal in Madison. A small plate of scallops is more than enough for a filling and satisfying meal.
