    Fun place with great ambiance and service! Food was decent but chilaquiles had nachos that were a bit soggy and the club chicken wasn’t the tastiest.

    First time at Madison. Service was not only excellent but also very attentive, and all courses, from drinks to mains, were surprisingly quick. Good, though, was good but not great. The watermelon app is probably excellent when watermelon is in season and flavorful, but it wasn't this time. I also expected the halloumi to taste more smoky / grilled. Tuna tartare needed more texture. Mains were tasty but all felt like something was missing. Also, music was very loud, which is fine but we hadn't expected it.

    Sat at a table in the bar. Friendly & very good service. Good cocktails - really enjoyed the Queen of Crowns drink with the tarot card - fun presentation & a nice balanced cocktail. Loved the sliders & fries!! Fun evening.

    Food was great and our waitress was very responsive. I asked for a bowl to share our Ciopinno and the busser said they didn’t have bowls at the restaurant…….. our waitress then brought us one. The music and food were great, but we were pushed to finish our meal- we were told bar was closing, kitchen was closing (it was 8:30), so dessert was ordered before finishing main course, check dropped at table….. then waitress asked if we could pay now and then……. Wait for it….. the lights get turned on like we were in a dive bar at 2am…… kinda spoiled the night…. I get it, the staff wants to get home, but turning up the brights was kinda low class. But everyone got up and left, which I guess was the point, not sure if I’d go back.

    We were so pleased that Madison has brought back their delicious jambalaya! Having grown up in New Orleans, I can say that Madison‘s jambalaya is some of the best around! Also loved the live jazz, friendly staff, and good vibe of the place!

    Menu online is totally different then in person so don’t base anything off the online menu! Food was mediocre, would much rather go anywhere else for a good meal. Would not recommend and will not come back.
