Located inside the elegant Edgewater Hotel in downtown Madison, The Statehouse offers a polished, yet approachable dining experience with breathtaking views of Lake Mendota. Specializing in Contemporary American cuisine, the restaurant pairs locally sourced ingredients with creative flair, all served in a stylish space that's perfect for pre-show dining. Whether you're heading to a concert at the nearby Overture Center or Capitol Theater, you'll find The Statehouse conveniently situated within a short walk of Madison’s top venues.
Concert-goers appreciate The Statehouse for its proximity to downtown music venues and its relaxed, upscale atmosphere that’s still casual enough for jeans. The service is known for being efficient and attentive, making it easy to grab a satisfying meal without worrying about missing the opening act. In warmer months, the lakefront patio becomes a popular spot for pre-show cocktails with a view, while cozy indoor seating keeps the vibe intimate year-round.
Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently mention the restaurant’s beautiful lake views, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and professional service. Guests love the craft cocktails and local wine list, with many highlighting the cheese curds and short ribs as must-try favorites. The ambiance strikes a balance between refined and relaxed, making it a top pick for both special occasions and casual nights out.
Some diners note that prices can run a bit high, especially for entrées and drinks. During peak weekend evenings, a reservation is essential to avoid waits. A few guests also found the menu limited for vegetarians, though staff are usually happy to accommodate dietary needs when asked.
If you're looking for a stylish, stress-free spot to dine before a Madison concert, The Statehouse offers scenic views, quality food, and a location that’s hard to beat.
