"I was promptly greeted by the host, and the server Chas was attentive and helpful! Garden pasta was yummy, maybe the noodles a bit overcooked but that did not ruin it for me at all. I love the pesto, and the squash was perfectly cooked crisp-tender. I also had an Asian Pear Martini, which was unique and tasty. I would return here if I come stay at the Hilton again!"

"First, there was ONE waiter working. With as SLOW as he is, they need another person even though it was NOT busy. Also, the body odor from him was sickening, noticeable and very offensive. I started to leave, but I was starved and was too lazy to go out b/c it was like 55 degrees. I ordered a hot tea, and ordered. There were ONLY a few folks in the place. I party of six that left shortly after I arrived, and another party of like five and then me. It took Sohail 10-15 minutes to bring me a SPOON for the honey for my tea. He gave me a stir stick and looked puzzled as to why I wanted a spoon. But I digress. I had high hopes for my steak. It had some kind of sauce on it, not steak sauce, but I’m thinking it’s because of all the FAT in the steak. As you can see from the pictures, a good amount of the steak was FAT. The ambiance was quiet. Would I come back? Nope. Do I recommend? Sure try it, just don’t order the steak. This is inside of the Hilton nestled in the heart of downtown not too far from the Capital building. If ever in the area, and you come here…please let me know your thoughts."

"1 bartender + 1 waiter + 1 host = 1 very, very, very slow New Year's Eve dinner I should have read reviews before making our reservation. I have been there before, but things have gone downhill. I agree with the other reviews that the Hilton needs to take a look at this restaurant. I will give the atmosphere a good mark. It is cozy and quiet, which is what I wanted. And despite waiting between 20-45 minutes for a round of cocktails for a party of 3, the Pear Martini was delicious. But that isn't enough to get us to go back or to recommend to others."

"I’m staying in the Hilton for work and it’s currently 21 degrees outside so naturally I was between Door Dash or The Audrey. Saw the reviews, ignored them and decided to form my own opinion. The cheese curds were mediocre and the Audrey burger was obnoxiously dry and bitter from the chard. I got onion rings instead of fries and they put some kind of cajun seasoning on them that was overly salty. I asked for a side of grilled shrimp which ended up being the best thing I ordered. Maybe I didn’t order the right things but considering the other reviews, there may not be a right thing to order here. If I were upper management I would seriously consider revising the menu or maybe tweaking the recipes or even carefully looking at how the food is being prepared. I don’t know what the underlying issue is but I spent $50 on a meal I didn’t enjoy. Lastly, this does not reflect on the staff members I encountered, everyone was very pleasant."

"I was attending an event in downtown Madison and despite the plethora of great food options around town , our group wanted to stay in the hotel for dinner after having drinks at the bar . I was expecting better from the food especially as I have eaten at numerous Hilton restaurants around the country. The restaurant is called Audrey Kitchen and it is adjacent to the bar . Bar and bartender by the way was fun and good drinks ! I chose what I thought was a cold salad bowl and added a seared Salmon as an extra topping. The grain bowl consisted of quinoa , sweet potatoes and a spiced version chickpeas that was warm (or warmed up) and a bit of a “blob” . Salmon was okay but definitely well overcooked. I have to give kudos to the great service as the waitress was very nice and helpful. Overall fairly mediocre experience when it comes to the food."
