We had an early reservation for a group of 4 and were seated right away. Our waitress was so friendly and took her time to explain the menu to us. The restaurants atmosphere was different than any other place I’ve been to and reminded me of a place you’d eat at in Miami. Our group loved the shareable style dishes and each were brought out one by one. Not only was the presentation perfect, each dish was hand crafted with its own unique flavor. This was probably one of my favorite restaurants I’ve been to in a long time

They have a great bar area and craft drinks. It looks like they make all their own mixers for drinks. Service was great. I am personally not a fan of the look and feel of the restaurant. It does seem a bit loud with the open kitchen and ceilings.

Mint Mark is hands down the best brunch in Madison, Wisconsin. The menu doesn’t do justice to what is beautifully presented by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Mint Mark is known for their shared plates, and while I usually save sharing for dinner, trust me—a shared breakfast here is what it’s all about. You get to experience so many flavorful, fun dishes all at once. It feels like Christmas on a table. Parnassus was our server, and she greeted us with a vibrant smile that instantly set the tone for a fun and exciting brunch. She walked us through each dish in detail, making the experience feel special and thoughtful. Our drinks were always full, and she checked in frequently to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re dining at Mint Mark, be sure to ask for Parnassus. She’ll be heading to NYC in Spring 2026 to chase her Broadway dreams—send her all the good vibes and wish her the best of luck. Thank you to the incredible chefs, bartenders, Parnassus, and the entire Mint Mark team for making our brunch so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

Very busy venue with regulars. Might have to wait for table. Bar service was quick. Easier for friend and I to order drinks and apps. Unless you're a foodie, we found the menu to have many different/unusual types of foods. Presentation was lovely, though. Customers and staff friendly. Validated parking a bonus!

Signature drink is amazing! Atmosphere is great! Kitchen looks very clean! Bar looks very well organized! One of my favorite place to go have some drinks! However, the food really isn’t that tasty. The presentation is great.
