Best Wine Bars in Middleton

My family and I enjoyed it very much, staff was very attentive and their promise to not rush you during your experience was very present and very comforting. We all enjoyed our dinner, we started with the arancini, mussles and our kids had spaghetti and meatballs and a margherita pizza which they loved! The mussles have to be Top 5 mussles in Madison, they were the star of the show, extensive and great cocktail list for everyone’s taste and great wine list. Overall great food, service and experience, will definitely come back but probably in a date night instead of brining the whole family. At the end Dino the owner was very nice and came over and offered some delicious cookies for my children, great touch!

We were thoroughly blown away by this establishment from the moment we walked out of the elevator to the moment we had finished and walked back into it. This place is one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in and we've been to hundreds of restaurants all over the world! We kept hearing about the view but it was a deep fog on the night that we were there and so we never saw the view that everyone is always raving about and we were still stupefied with the quality of everything we saw, experienced, ate or touched. It is a small plate restaurant (of tapas lineage) and the way they mix and match is nothing short of astounding. There were four of us and we ordered two apiece with the intention of ordering more as we devoured them on arrival. The plates did not seem all that huge, but four of us could not finish all the food on eight plates. We had extra but through no lack of our own super abilities to eat boatloads of food and we ordered: truffled fries, pan seared salmon, charred cauliflower, smashed brussel sprouts, bruschetta (brie and fig, smoked salmon, fresh mozzarella, and tomatillo and avocado), spinach & cheese tortellini, crispy lobster, and one more that I can't, for the life of me, remember. Believe me that they were all memorable, it's my leaky brain that can't retain anything anymore. Even though we were maxed out on available stomach-space we went ahead and ordered the flan for dessert, which has a brownie underneath it, and it was the highest level of delectability that any of us had ever experienced. I got the Mocktail Raspberry Pineapple Mule which was stupendous. Back when I was drinking I would have ordered five of these during a meal but this one was quite enough for the night. We ended up with about a sixty-dollar cost per-person which is substantially less than I thought it would be but I have to say that the quality of food and service was worth double of what we paid.

Our meal was excellent and the service was great. It was quite dim in the restaurant and without a small lamp or something like that on the table my parents had to use their phones to read the menus. It was not too loud which was nice and the meal did not feel rushed. The wedge salad was to die for and the steak/scallop special was mouth watering.

Consistently fine quality, in food, presentation, and service. The menu offers so many interesting options, and the flavors are beautifully chosen to make each plate distinctive. When we order beef as we did tonight it hit medium rare masterfully! Coopers has been a favorite of ours since 2016, across many states, and the Middleton, WI venue lives up to the high standards set by the company.

The food was incredible and the servers and bartender were excellent! We will definitely be back!
