Highly recommend! Had a late Friday night dinner. Awesome food, worth the cost. Paid about $75 for two meals: a beer, greens salad, bread, crab cakes, salmon entree, pork schnitzel entree, cheesecake dessert. Everything tasted amazing, and the service was great too!

Decent wine list. Great service and the food was awesome! It was a bit on the pricey side and the menu short and sweet. if you do go, the bacon wrapped shrimp is amazing. We had 3 "small plates" which were not small by any means. And the owner came to our table and chatted with us about the ingredients and our plans for the weekend etc. It is a cute, family run restaurant with upscale food you would expect to find on the square and not in Stoughton. We will go back to try the entrees, keeping in mind the range from roughly $20 to $39. I would give it 5 stars but they had country music playing on a poorly placed sound system, and the decor is not spectacular. For the price of the food I would expect a litter better ambiance.

I have been so blessed to live in a town that has Big Sky! Tonight Chef Sean topped himself, as if that is possible. I had the Tenderloin Oscar. Perfection!!! It was served on a bed of herbed rice, my choice, and beyond compare....open flame grilled veggies. Perfection. This is my favorite place. The menu changes regularly. The chef is open to your tweaks on his food. Fresh ingredients, locally sourced when possible, eco-friendly. Fabulous. A must visit.

Have eaten here twice, blown away each time! Well worth the cost for a nice sit down dinner.

We went to Big Sky tonight for the first time. Even though we live in Stoughton and have driven by many times, we had no idea what a gem this is. There aren't many entrées but the three dishes our party tried were all phenomenal! The prices are on the higher side but well worth it for those special occasions! We will definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful dinner for four last night and can't believe we haven't come here sooner! Food was amazing! We tried two appetizers the mushroom stroganoff and the crab cakes, both were wonderful. Everyone had the beef stew over mashed potatoes which was amazing. Creame brûlée and chocolate casserole were amazing as well. Will be coming back soon! Great good and people! Such a warm and friendly environment.

The food was ok. Not worth the price. The restaurant is pricey for the Stoughton area. The owner/chef seems to be arrogant. The staff is friendly enough. When we passed the restaurant later in the evening we noticed several staff members outside smoking. It was not attractive. I don't think we will return.

I went there for dinner last night after driving in from Chicago with my family. We were going to opening night at the opera house down the street. I have a gluten allergy and the entire staff was very accommodating. The chef came out to show me all of my gluten free options, and said they could modify anything I wanted! The service was perfect, and the courses were very well spread out. We got an app to share, and then we all had salads, which came with the meal. The wine list was good, we enjoyed the bottle of wine we ordered. All four of us at my table ordered the lamb, which was served to perfection. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of the food, and the both the beautiful preparation and presentation. We got two deserts to share which were also delicious! One recommendation I have is for them to purchase a new espresso or coffee machine. The quality of the coffee did not match the rest of the superb dinner. If I am in town again, I would definitely return!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Big Sky. We are from Stoughton and had heard nothing but wonderful things about this place, but had never visited before. My steak was perfect. My husband wishes his salmon was good a little more, but he enjoyed it, nonetheless. Our waitress, Laura, was superb! A bit pricey for everyday, but well worth it for a special occasion, fine dining experience. I highly recommend Big Sky.

Unfortunately probably the best food in Dane County. Foolish people like me will probably share the experience we had when dining here. We will tell you how the food was perfection and the service was superb. Then you will go and try it for yourself. You will be somewhat skeptical since it is "so far away" in Stoughton. Then you will realize all the reviews we either spot on or maybe didn't even say enough how good it was. You will then be just as foolish as I was and post a review here. Others will read it and follow suit and venture out to try Big Sky. Soon we will all have a 3 month wait for reservations and we will be sad that it is so tough to get in. Remember it's our fault when that happens not the perfect food and service but all our own doing.

What a delightful find and a masterful experience This restaurant is a must. We were greeted warmly by Nancy and sat immediately. My husband chose the Scottish salmon with tempura asparagus on garlic mashed and I had the curried porkchop on polenta. Perfectly prepared .. the seasoning so delicate and rich yet not overpowering. Chef Shaun so talented! I understand he smokes his own meats and the desserts are made on sight by the talented Laura. Highly recommend ...you don't need to drive to Madison to enjoy fine dining.. cozy and warm you will feel like you are part of the Big Sky family after 1 visit.

Huge fan of Big Sky. Service was very good, ambiance was cozy (no country music playing per other review) and the food was special. We all had the NY strip special; the blackened seasoning & hollandaise sauce complimented a huge and tasty NY strip. Loved the house and Caesar salad. Wine list small but nice quality. Finally, creme brûlée and coffee were a nice touch after a great meal.

We went to Big Sky for the first time tonight. What a treat it was! The dining room was tastefully decorated and has about 10+ tables, so nice and cozy. The service was attentive with great recommendations for the menu and drink pairings. Of course the best part was the meal. Our whole group thought that each of our entrees were cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. Sean and Nancy have a true gem in Stoughton, and we can't wait to back again.
(5)Jenny O.
Excellent food AND in Stoughton! Two phrase I rarely use together. Great food, quaint atmosphere, friendly staff and owner. Amazing cheesecake. Our go to restaurant when we want quality food w/o the drive to Madison. (It's also worth the drive from Madison.)
(5)Bill G.
Wow...swung down for a show at the Opera House and decided to check this place out. Simply superb. Fabulous service. The bacon wrapped shrimp are fab...the crab cakes are uniquely cool. Don't use the Opera House as a reason...this is so worth the trip. And, we'll be back.
(5)Jessica M.
Excellent fine dining. The chef is extremely talented, and has been known to create meals on the fly based solely upon ingredients he has on-hand!

This is a first-glance review. This place is in my town and I want it to do well so I'm treading lightly after having been there only once. On a Friday night, the place was full. That's really good for Stoughton, even on a Friday. The service was a tad frantic, but friendly and helpful. The wine was good and reasonably priced. My wife and I definitely liked the crab cake, full of crab and not overbready. I thought it was a bit too smothered with the avocado and other yummy garnishes. Seemed a shame to mask such good crab. The salad was fine. The Osso Buco should have been more tender, more falling off the bone, and it wasn't hot all the way through. The saffron risotto that it was served with was perfect--al dente, done with arborio rice and real saffron, and nice and hot. It came with thin asparagus spears. It's so hard for a place in a small town to go through slow weeknights and then get slammed on Friday and Saturday. You're not built for that peak business like bigger-city restaurants. Big Sky is still young and very promising. We will be back and will expect great things.

I really want this place to be good! We live in Evansville and get tired of going to Madison when we want a nice meal. We would love for this place to take off and for the squeaks to get worked out. The menu is pretty impressive - so I hope they can pull it off. We like the things that they are trying. We went there within their first week of business - during Syttenda Mai - so the town (and the restaurant) were very busy. * It was the waitress's first night. She had no apparent training. Please train your staff before you throw them to the wolves. * Well - my first item cascades down to other issues - like our check which should have totaled about $70 - but was presented to me at $109. I asked for a recalc on the math - and it was better the second time. * Salads were not served before the main course * I had the fettuccine bolognese, a dish I enjoy a lot. There was no seasoning. It was super bland - though the pasta was cooked correctly and sauce had the right consistency. I had to add a lot of salt - which helped some. * Nothing on the walls - please find some artists to show work. Should be easy and will help reduce the echo in the dining room. Also - some light music would enhance the quietness. The menu looks great - with getting the squeaks fixed we look forward to many dinners with you.

The food is good, not amazing, but solidly good. The prices are high, in line with a small fine dining establishment. The service is friendly and while the overall pace of the meal was good, getting a server when you really need one was hit-and-miss. The timing of the entrees out of the kitchen was off, with my entree served several minutes after everyone else had been served. The atmosphere is chic but the dining room is very loud, a problem when members of your party are hearing impaired. I would try them again in the future though.

We ate at Blue Sky about a week ago. It was good, not mamzing, but a solid good. The service and atmosphere was great!!! I think this place will get there!!! If you are in-town for a show at the Stoughton Opera House, this is the place to eat (better than Laz's for the $). I say give-it-try!!!
(3)Eel G.
Dined here once during the week. The food was good but not remarkable. The staff was green but friendly. I'm very happy to have this restaurant in our community. I wish that it had something more (ambiance? prices? a signature dish?) to lure me there on a regular basis.
(3)Anne N.
Just tried this place last night. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food. It was beautifully presented and arrived in an acceptable time frame. I would recommend this place to anyone lookingfor a nicer place to eat. It is small and I was glad we had reservations.
(5)Vincent S.
Tuesday evening, not crowded, but it seemed to take a long time for the food to arrive. The special, shrimp puttanesca, was ok. While my dates, crab cakes seemed to be mostly breading and very little crab could be found. Service was attentive. The company at our table made the evening enjoyable. This being our second time here, not sure we will return.

I have to agree with other reviewers that I've been waiting for a place like Big Sky to show up in Stoughton and I also really want it to be good. The place does look perfect and the ambiance is great for date night or a nice dinner. However, we've been there three times now and our experiences there have been spotty. First time: Made reservations but when we showed up there was no record of them. So we waited at the bar but it took awhile for someone to take our drink orders. However, the owners put the drinks on the house. Very good. So we ordered the crab cakes, steak au poivre, and the tenderloin. We waited quite some time for the food to come out and we got our entrees first and then the crab cakes came out. Hey it was the first two weeks after opening. These things happen. The steak au poivre was good and the steak was cooked perfectly. The tenderloin was ordered medium but came back toast. Crab Cakes were delicious though. Very good. Second time: Came on a Tuesday so pretty slow. We ordered the salmon and the pork duo. Pork duo was ok while the salmon was tasty. However, the bread seemed like it was old and had been reheated to freshen it up. Third time: Only 2/3 of the tables were filled but when we showed up the waitress told us she had to check and see whether the kitchen could handle the volume. This place only has about a dozen tables. We saw a couple after us get denied even though there was an open table. Not a good sign for a restaurant to turn away business when the tables aren't full. We ordered the Mussels (Special), Farfalle, and Catfish. First bread again seemed day or two old and was reheated to freshen up. Mussels were good but not $16.50 good. The Catfish was cooked perfectly and so were the rice and beans. However, there was no seasoning though. It was extremely bland and lacked salt and pepper even. There are no shakers at the table. I respect that if you know how to season your food as a chef. The Farfalle had a cream sauce that was so thin the pasta was swimming in it. You need to thicken your cream pasta sauce. Big no-no. Overall, the servers are great. Most need to be more educated but all were very friendly. The wine list is good and reasonable. Desserts are always good but I don't know if they make them there. The dishes for the most part have been tasty at times. Big Sky just needs to get its system down and improve on some things. I'm not expecting the creativity of an Iron Chef but for the prices the overall experience needs to be improved.

The menu was diverse, the quality of ingredients fresh, and portion size most ample. My hubby and I WILL return and are happy to have REAL cuisine so close to home!
