    I brought my boyfriend and his parents here to eat for his birthday. We ordered the busicuits for appetizers, they were so delicious 10/10. The margaritas was a perfect blend 10/10. Overall there were no complaints about the food at the table. Everything was well portioned. 10/10!! I would most definitely go back and recommend to friends and family.

    We were seated right away. The atmosphere is so very French! Very quaint - tall lighted candles on each table. Waitress was very nice. Food was excellent! French onion soup is best ever with slices of beef short rib - wow! Gnocchi was mixed with veggies in a delightful Gruyère sauce. Escargot was tasty and the Salad Chèvre Chaud outstanding! The bartender makes a very nice old fashioned too!

    We celebrated a birthday here and we are glad we did! The ambiance, drinks, food, and service are always great at Madison. We brought in a cake for a birthday and the server put it in the fridge for us upon arrival and also put on the cake topper and candles before bringing it out to the table. Much appreciated and we will return!

    Overall a good meal. Somewhat limited menu options for sandwiches/handhelds. Otherwise, I'd recommend this spot.
