What OpenTable Diner likes about Madison's:
My friend and I chose this spot for an early, pre theatre dinner. We were seated immediately, and had a great server. The drinks and food were delivered promptly and everything tasted great!

Had the salmon and pork shoulder sandwiches, which were excellent. Sad that on a Saturday night at 7pm the Brisket sandwich was already sold out considering Friday was during lent. Also did not have two of the beers on the menu. Waitress was great, and handled it well, just found it odd that they were out of 2 beers and the brisket. Everything they did have was excellent.

Madison's is my new favorite brunch spot! I haven't found a resto that does unlimited mimosas that *ACTUALLY* has good quality mimosas.

Great fish. We ate there on a Friday night and ordered the fish fry haddock. It was excellent and so were all the sides. Will definitely return.

Madison's offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. Some guests rave about the excellent food and service, particularly praising the salmon and pork shoulder sandwiches. Others, however, complain about long wait times, food not being delivered, and poor management during busy periods. Despite the mixed reviews, many patrons appreciate the lively vibe and fun events offered at Madison's, as well as the great views and dog-friendly atmosphere. Overall, Madison's seems to offer a varied dining experience that may be worth a visit for those looking for a lively spot in Madison.

We had a long wait for the food. When the food came after a hour later. the fries were cold and the food had no flavor.
