(See the complete list of category winners by clicking here) 

First Place Winner:  L’Etoile
Second Place: Louisianne’s Etc
Third Place: Restaurant Magnus

Noteworthy write-ins: Tornado Steakhouse, Flemings, the late, great Fyfes Corner Bistro, Lombardino’s, Harvest, Ocean Grill

Comments:  Excluding the ballot stuffing that certain restaurants indulged in for this category (you know who you are…), our voters really seemed to each have their own definition and opinion of fine dining in Madison.  The write-in field was used liberally, though none of the write-in restaurants gained enough votes to break into the top three.
