   We generally like Madison. Volume inside is deafening, so we grab an outside table. Cocktails are excellent. Our food was a mix. Apps and desserts were top notch, but three of the five mains were meh. The lemon pasta had no lemon flavor. The lobster risotto was luke warm and while there was enough lobster meat in it, there was no infused lobster flavor. I think the whole place seemed to having an off night. The host made us wait, though our table was ready and we stood by it (since we were outside waiting) for ten minutes. Again, nothing terrible, but just off. Previous visits have been good and we will go back, giving them the benefit of the doubt. So four stars despite the mixed review for this one visit.

   Great food, ambiance, and good service. But definitely on the pricey side.. even for San Diego. Spent just under $100 for three apps and two beers.

   Great food as always, hard to sit where we like it but they work hard to accommodate us. Very noisy from all the people enjoying their food and friends, but always worth it.

   This place has great energy flowing through it. Front of the house is experienced and polite. Drinks were tasty fresh and unique. Ambiance and decor is 10s across the board

   The amazing service, ambiance, great music and awesome drink menu over powered the mediocre food and limited menu.

   Only one waiter for the entire restaurant.. It was my daughter’s 18th birthday. They messed up her order and it came after the rest of our party had finished their meals. Very disappointing!
