   Hair in Pork Chop. Drinks came out after 45 min. They did comp but not to expectations from research. And who cuts Skirt steak with the grain?? We hope it was just a temporary issue with the kitchen. Cocktail quality was fantastic. They did comp us for the troubles because it was most definitely worth a $200+ tab for 3 guests.

   We booked a large party of 16 and had to add 2 more last minute. Madison’s staff was accommodating and helpful. We had a wonderful server, Brittany. Drinks and food were excellent.

   Madisonnis such a great space, and the outdoor patio is lovely, plenty of heaters. Our servers were friendly but drinks took forever to arrive. Our food was pretty to look at, but underwhelming taste-wise. The 3 people in my party had shared every dish we ordered, yet they only brought 2 spoons with our dessert? We asked for a 3rd but it never came (I grabbed flatware from an adjacent table). Sadly, the vegan gluten-free chocolate cake was dry and chalky, so maybe we didn't need the 3rd spoon after all?

   Food was mediocre to say the least, not worth the money. We sat outside at their front patio, the table we got was detached from the base, on the positive side, we got help to change it right away. We order an Ibarra martini and it was horrible, it tasted like cold brew coffee basically, I would not return to this place at all.

   Awful unseasoned flavorless food. Took 10 minutes to be noticed and served water. Took 20 minutes to get coffee. Terrible service.

    Beautiful decor and ambiance. We had the chicken piccata. The chicken was tender; but unfortunately, it had little taste, too much lemon and soaked in the sauce. I think I saw one caper on the plate. Drinks were good, though a bit pricey. The menu is a little limited, e.g., no fish offering. More along comfort food. The crusted pork chop seems to be popular; but I would need an angioplasty if I ate it. LOL. Beware: they charge a 4% "hospitality fee", which I did not see disclosed on the menu. Restaurants need to stop with these added fees. With taxes, it's close to a 12% increase.
