About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
The Madison Bar and Grill is filled with an ambiance and class that is usually reserved for Manhattan eateries. The dining room is cleverly decorated in a 1940s style reminiscent of a chic roadside inn. The décor works an evocative, magical mood, with bare wood floors, wainscoted walls, soft lighting and subtle touches from a bygone era.

Patrons can also enjoy The Madison’s eclectic American Cuisine at the bar or outdoors in an al fresco cafe that wraps around the street corner.

Be sure not to miss The Madison’s Weekly Events, including the Sunday Jazz Brunch, First Seating, Tuesday Night Martini Madness, Thursday Taco Night and Endless Happy Hour. The restaurant also offers Private Parties and Off-Premises Catering.

The Madison Bar and Grill is a great place for families, professionals, romantic dinners or anyone who likes to unwind and enjoy great food, drinks and service in a sophisticated, comfortable eatery.

    I generally tip 10 percent on a buffet... the Mother's Day brunch was 60 dollars a head and 25 dollars for a almost 3 year old... I don't have the exact breakdown but for a 265 meal charge but my bill was 343.51... the gratuity was close to 60 and they threw in a credit card charge... Excessive.... will never eat there for a buffet again.

    We made a reservation last minute for Easter Brunch and it was sooooo good!!! They had a full buffet with a carving station and the lamb was amazing!!! Eggs Florentine, scrambled, Benedict and a crème brûlée French toast that was the best I’ve ever had!! We have been there in the past for game watches and were surprised how  truly elegant it locked with fresh flowers on every table… I am so happy that we tried it.

    Overall this place was fine. It was nice that the bar was separate from the restaurant dining but it was still somewhat loud. Additionally, the food was moderately priced but taste wise it was just fine and there wasn't anything distinct about the flavors. I also thought considering the price point, the portions were on the smaller side. I paid around $19 for a Cobb salad that although it contained all of the usual ingredients (granted there was no blue cheese which is one of the typical ingredients) it wasn't as hearty as others that I've had and in most restaurants if you order a salad a side of bread is provided. But I appreciated the kindness and attentiveness of our server.

    The charcuterie platter just had 4 bread pieces, sad presentation! Cheeses were good, fig sauce good too.My friend was disappointed in the gelato- said it just tasted like ice cream, not gelato. But these are minor things and will be back again. Nice to have parking validated. Waitress was very accommodating.

    Burgers and cocktails were really tasty. Service was incredibly slow. The spinach and artichoke dip was basically a plate of spinach with some cheese on top. Awful.

    The table was comically small, the service was indifferent at best, and the food generally below average. Never a good sign when the entire table fails to finish their food.
