We heard Bistro One was excellent and it was.
We were not dressed for such a nice place but on a freezing Thursday night they welcomed us and made us feel like valued customers.
We started with the cheese and proscuitto stuffed mushrooms. There were five of them and they were outstanding. The house salad comes with an interesting Greek dressing, a nice tomato wedge and marinated onions. It was very good.
Steve had the Kalamatra Chicken topped with spinach and tomatoes and he loved it. I had the lemon shrimp and it was outstanding. The entrees come with a shared 'copper pan' of starch and vegetables. The served linguine, a perfect accompaniment to the shrimp, potatoes, glazed carrots and steamed broccoli. We could not even finish the copper pot and my 'I don't eat cooked vegetables' husband loved the carrots.
The wine selection was nice and I had two Chianti at $6.25 each. Steve ordered baklava and it must have been good because I didn't even get a taste!
The bill was $71 plus tip and worth every penny!
The staff was gracious and the owner Nick was adorable. He came out and chatted several times and said he loved me as I left. I love him too and if I ever get back to Madison, Nick's charming Bistro One is #1 on my list.
