    Absolutely not worth the money charged for their food and service. Overpriced food that was not even brought out correctly. There was a missing item from our appetizer that we had to wait for quite some time. 4% hospitality charge automatically added to the check to pay for better wages and health insurance for the staff. Ok. If the food and the service was deserving of that my wife and I would have totally been cool with that plus a tip on top of that. We decided to leave at two drinks and the appetizer since we felt we would just be further disappointed if we stayed. Ended up heading over to Himalayan cuisine and got drinks, appetizers and two full entrees for the price that we had just paid for two drinks and an appetizer at Madison. If we could give it less than one star we would. Gladly.

    Amazing in every way. World class live jazz in warm and inviting ambience. Cocktails some of the best, most unique I have ever had. Food high-quality tasty and outstanding presentation. This place should have a Michelin star

    We had a great evening for my sister’s birthday here. We loved the jazz ensemble, and our cocktails and dinner were delicious! We will be back. A suggestion: Add some baffling on the wall or ceiling to help tone down the noise level of people talking…It was really hard to hear each other at our table and the noise level made it a bit harder to enjoy the jazz. All in all we still had a great time. The service was amazing and we all had a good time!

    Enjoyable. Food was good but not spectacular. I’ve heard brunch is great. Music was loud making conversation difficult.

    Food was flavorless. No salt or pepper or any other basic seasonings. It also came out way to fast and was cold. Coffee just tasted like milk. If you like bland food then I would recommend, otherwise steer clear. Would never go again. The staff were nice and attentive though.

    Great atmosphere, solid food, service is fine. It’s a party atmosphere at brunch which was hard to here my friend at the table. If you are looking for party place it’s great.

    Excellent, but I wish their patio had more shade. They should get a more consistent coverage.
