Co-owners and chefs John Gadau and Phillip Hurley bring culinary experience spanning Chicago and California, having worked at Café Provencal, Carlucci, Michel Richard's Citrus in Los Angeles, and Judy Rodger's Zuni Cafe in San Francisco. Gadau and Hurley met in 1997 as neighbors in the same three-flat brownstone apartment in Chicago's Wrigley area, where they discovered shared notions about local ingredients, simple but thoughtfully crafted flavor profiles, and the importance of place and classic tradition. The decision to move both of their families to Madison happened in 2000 with the launch of Marigold Kitchen, a breakfast and lunch restaurant one block off of the Capital Square.

The restaurant offers dinner service Sunday through Thursday from 5PM to 9PM, and Friday through Saturday from 5PM to 10PM. A bar is available starting at 4PM Monday through Friday, and 4:30PM on Saturdays and Sundays. Sardine serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 9AM to 2PM, with the kitchen closed from 2PM to 4:30PM between services. The front door is directly off the parking lot, lakeside, with the lot situated between Machinery Row and Lake Monona.
