A few more recomendations. The first two are not for those wanting an economy meal. My two absolute favorite restaurants in Madison are La Paella and The Blue Marlin. Both are expensive but if you want to spend the money, it is well worth it.

La Paella specializes in Spanish food. I've never had the tapas, so I can't comment on them. It's been a few years since I've been there, but I remember it well. La Paella is a little bit outside of Madison.

The Blue Marlin, on the other hand, is about a block or two from the Capital on Hancock. The Blue Marlin is an excellent seafood restaurant. It's a smaller restaurant, so it's a bit cozy, and I believe that you need to dress up a little bit.

On the not so expensive side, Monty's Blue Plate Diner is a great place if you can get in for breakfast.
