"We heard Bistro One was excellent and it was.\n\nWe were not dressed for such a nice place but on a freezing Thursday night they welcomed us and made us feel like valued customers.\n\nWe 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.\n\nSteve 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.\n\nThe 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!\n\nThe bill was $71 plus tip and worth every penny!\n\nThe 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."^^ . "1"^^ . . "4"^^ . "5"^^ . .
