This was the most amazing experience I've had in a very long time. I came here to celebrate my 30th birthday with my closest friends and when I tell you everything was beyond perfect. From service to the food it was absolutely amazing!!! So so sad they are closing but so glad we were able to celebrate on their last night!! Also shout out to pink for being the absolute best!!!!!!!!!!!

Bernadette was our awesome server!! She suggested wines and then let us taste them. The cocktail selection is far greater than the wine selection. The scallops were amazing and perfectly cooked! The lamb chops were tender, but while the brussel sprouts were very tasty , they were unevenly cooked. We had told Bernadette, but we ate most of the dish. Much to our surprise, the manager came over to check on us. He then mentioned he removed the Brussels sprouts from our check. There was a very nice vibe and our margaritas were tasty!

It was an amazing experience! The waiters were so nice, the chef was amazing, the food was great! Definitely enjoyed my time and would have no issue returning to dine again.

I think it was a goo time, wish they had more vegetarian options. The music was a bit loud so it was hard to have a conversation

The Madison is a hidden gem. The craft cocktails are AMAZING! I knew we hit the jackpot with the first sip. The starters were delicious and the Tortellini was superb. Every morsel of food that I tasted had an unique spin. I love this place.

Great ambience, horrible service. Server ignored us for majority of time - too busy chatting and exchanging phone numbers with neighboring table. Never seen a server so disinterested. Informed manager and while he gave us a new server (who was much better), he never came back to see if everything was better. Food was fine - not as good as previous visits. Oysters were hilariously, I mean hilariously, small. What a terrible way to spend a birthday and anniversary. Won't be returning and won't be having anymore business outings here. Hoping the owner(s) reads this and checks in on the staff.

Great service as always and food was excellent and creative, prices overall are quite steep for smaller portions. Always loved the ambience but felt a little little less affordable than it used to be.

Drinks were more expensive than our entrees. Guess we won't ask for the bartender's recommendation for bourbon in our old fashioneds again. Also had the Salary Man – cloyingly sweet and overwhelmed by the blackberry flavor. Food was tasty and service was friendly and prompt.

Very nice restaurant, service, and food. The hostess was very inviting and quickly seated us. Our waitress gave us recommendations on what to eat. The skate was FABULOUS and was cooked perfectly! We also had the halloumi cheese, and I would certainly order it again. Overall, this quaint little restaurant will not disappoint.

Drinks are awesome. Great vibe. Highly recommend the shrimp scampi. Brussels sprouts were just okay- under done/hard and our butter knives couldnt cut through them. Winglets were loaded with breading and dry. Will definitely come back for cocktails!

One of the draws in coming here was their cocktail program. When we tried to order a cocktail we were told that the beverage director quit so they don't have a cocktail program any longer. The place was pretty empty, perhaps this was why. The food was pretty good and I liked the space a lot. Service was pretty slow, had to reminder our server that we were waiting for wine and the check.

3 of us celebrated my son's 4th birthday there. Our waitress Pink was super kind and thoughtful and made friends with our son. The whole restaurant sang happy birthday to him and he felt so special!

What a fabulous evening in all respects! We made a new friend in Christopher, the manager. The food, champagne, wine and dessert were delicious. The Madison is the best restaurant in Chicago!
