Good places for dinner in Madison

With all the talk of IMWI I thought maybe some of you would know a good local place to go to dinner. It has nothing to do with pre-race meals or anythin. Just a nice place to take the wife, that is not too crazy expensive. Preferably less than $50 a plate.

Thanks.

Tutto Pasta or Cafe Continental on King Street (just off the capitol squre) are good choices with large menus and many healthy options.

For breakfast / brunch be sure to check out Marigolds, just off King - best brunch in town!

ps. another GREAT place is the new restaurant Sardine - it’s next to Machinery Row near the lake and is the best addition to Madison dining in years. it’s not super race food friendly, but for a good dinner I liked it a lot!

the proprietors of MArigold just opened a new restaurant next to Machinery Row Bicycles, close to Monona Terrace - highly recommended - http://www.thedailypage.com/going-out/eats/news/managedit.php?intEatsNewsID=500
