    Consistently excellent restaurant. Service and food are 5 star and elevated. Ambiance is lively and beautiful. Great location to meet people for a dinner or a drink. Noise level is perfect- festive, but can hear each other.

    We loved this place! The ambiance was great and fun, but the staff's knowledge of rum, especially Jacob's walking us through the rare Demerara tasting was over the top awesome. Natalie was our server, but also is a bartender and so knowledgeable about the cocktails and ingredients. They not only know a lot, but also clearly are passionate about the rums. and food. As some have said, it takes a bit to get a drink or food, but they are crafting complicated drinks by hand.

    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!
