Amazing date night restaurant. Highly recommend the bar lounge for a date. The Gnocchi was out of this world! Everything was just perfect.
Enjoyed the ambiance, cool building. Food was a bit hit or miss, with stars being the Ravioli and Churro Waffle, but the Portbello fries were big and mushy, and the sauce on the Gnocchi was missing seasoning. Service felt rushed with food coming out around 10 min after ordering, so we were done in less than hour with cocktails, apps, mains, and desert. Great for a tasty fast meal, but not great for our date night unfortunately.
Food was pretty good! Service was poor. Took more than 10 minutes to be greeted, server barely spoke a few words the whole time. We came in celebrating our anniversary and it wasn't acknowledged at all.

Madison offers a mixed dining experience. While the food can be exceptional, with highlights like the pesto pasta, cherry tomato toast, and Chicken Fried Steak during brunch, the quality has been inconsistent, with some dishes arriving heavily sauced or soupy. The restaurant has a cute, eclectic, and bohemian vibe, often feeling like sitting outside on a patio. The front patio area provides a nice setting, though some reviews mention flies being an issue. The atmosphere is relaxed and lively, especially during jazz nights, which feature talented live music that adds to the ambiance without being overwhelming. The addition of jazz music makes it a great spot for casual brunches and gatherings. The service is generally solid and friendly, with staff accommodating dietary restrictions and reservations easy to make online. The mimosas are made fresh and taste amazing, enhancing the brunch experience. Overall, Madison is a unique space in University Heights, perfect for enjoying good food, live jazz, and a relaxed vibe with friends.
