    Dessert
    Melanie M.

    My friends and I came here for one of my friend's birthdays. We all got different drinks and food and tried each others. The drinks are strong. One of my friends and I shared the greek fries and gnocchi. The tahini sauce for the fried was just ok. I wish it was tzatziki instead. The gnocchi was nice and light, not too heavy even though it's a cream based sauce. I tried my friend's Mediterranean Milanese and the chicken was nice and crispy. The ravioli Rossini sauce was very rich and tasty. We told our server it was one of my friend's birthday and they brought us a chocolate marquise cake. Everything tasted delicious and service was great. A little pricy but nice for special occasions!

    Had dinner here for Valentine's day. They had a prix-fixe menu for the evening--$99/person. They also offered wine pairings for an extra charge, but I don't drink so we opted out. I would say that the prix-fixe menu and price paired together get a solid 4. Out of everything I tried, my favorite was the portobello (mushroom) "fries." Nothing else really stood out as special. Cute ambiance and good service, will have to try their regular menu some time.

    This place is so cute! The vibes are cozy and modern. We were only there for drinks this time but would definitely come back to try the food. We also came during their happy hour from 5-6. We got the motorbike and the heavyset honeybee. The motorbike comes with tequila, watermelon, aperol, ginger and lime but I could only really taste the watermelon and tequila. Refreshing but a little underwhelming. The honeybee was delicious though. It was sweet but also complex. Service was super friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back!

    My parner and I went here during happy hour and were able to get seat the bar immediately. (Happy hour is only available at the bar or patio). We lived the vibe of the place! Also on certain days they have live jazz music which is really cool. Service was really good! Our bartender Jenny was amazing. We got the Motor Bike and Heavyset HoneyBee. I preferred the HoneyBee over the Motor Bike but I'm a sucker for honey lol Overall will definitely come back to try the food and live jazz music.

    Service was mediocre and we often had empty glasses. The atmosphere is always amazing thangs to the decor, but the indoor music was really loud and made it hard to hear each other talk over the table. The food here is always just okay.! had the poke starter and it was nothing special and l've had much more flavorful and filling for the same price

    Came here for a quick breakfast/ lunch. I ordered their breakfast burrito and I got to say it was delicious. I order it to go because it was a quick stop. However as we waited we sat outside. As we waited for my food they brought us water, my friends and I drank water and talked so the wait didn't seem long.

    This was my second time at Madison, and unfortunately, it'll probably be my last. The first time I went with my best friend, and it was just okay -- good service, but the flies were pretty annoying. I decided to give it another chance, this time with a group of seven of us, and sadly, the same fly problem continued. The service this time was honestly strange. We got our food and drinks fairly quickly, but no utensils. We couldn't find our server anywhere, so we had to flag down another staff member just to get forks and knives. Then, when it came time to pay, we waited what felt like forever for someone to come by. Food-wise, it was pretty hit or miss. Some people at the table got salads, others got the breakfast burrito , bowls, classic breakfast -- everything was just fine, nothing memorable. The one standout item was the churro waffle sticks with jalapeño jam -- those were actually really good and the only thing we all agreed on. The space itself is cute -- very aesthetic -- but the flies, the uneven service, and the underwhelming food make it hard to justify another visit.

    Absolutely one of our favorite spots. Great for cocktails and dinner or just cocktails and appetizers. My favorite is the crab and corn gnocchi is absolutely to die for not too heavy such amazing flavors. The gin and cucumber cooler cocktail is also so light and fresh literally taste like a spa. I've been here with my parents. I've gone on a date night and as a girls night such a great spot for any occasion. It is a little loud but great atmosphere with a lot of wood very earthy and natural . The service is good. I would say they're a little overbooked that the waitress doesn't come to your table 2 too often but there's also people around that can help you if you need something.

    Mediterranean Breakfast

    This adorable restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was really good. I ordered the Mediterranean Breakfast to go. It was delicious! The salad was fresh and came with a yummy vinaigrette. They did forget to include the pita and avocado initially, but when I went back for the pita, they provided it warm, and it paired perfectly with the hummus. I unfortunately forgot to ask about the avocado, but overall the meal was still great.

    Came here with my friends. This Mediterranean restaurant is cute and has a modern vibe. Their salad was fresh and tasty, and the vinaigrette was delicious. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Sheyanne was a joy and did a great job taking care of us. As for parking, street parking is available.

    Avocado salad and added ahi tuna - delicious, ask for extra dressing on the side , you might need it.
    Espy M.

    Had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. I recommend it for its jazz music / ambience and beverages . Out order: Tuna tartare: tasted bland - I added the salad dressing to make it a little tastier. Avocado Salad with ahi tuna : ask for an additional side of dressing . Pistachio pasta : best from the two pastas we ordered. Clam linguine: bland - waiter kindly took this off the bill. Drinks : Mr good guy natural wine: Sauvignon -- tasty Natural Chardonnay- okay Jazz music : Great . Customer service is excellent.

    peach French toast

    Madison on Park had great vibes for brunch, but the service left a lot to be desired. I made a reservation for weekend brunch and the place was lively during peak hours. Our server greeted us quickly at first but unfortunately never checked in afterward. Some of the items on the seasonal menu were unavailable. The food took quite a while to arrive, though the drinks came out fast. *Cucumber Honey Mimosa: we ordered the pitcher, which was supposed to fill six glasses. We were satisfied with the amount and got multiple refills. Ordering the pitcher also saved us about twenty dollars compared to getting individual glasses. Unfortunately, our server accidentally spilled some of our drinks on the floor. The cucumber flavor was refreshing and the honey added a nice sweetness and warmth. *Peach French Toast: this was their seasonal specialty. The toast was nicely soaked in a sweet eggy mixture and the fruit topping was not overly sweet. The cinnamon was a little strong, but it added a cozy autumn touch. *White Bean Shakshuka: the tomato base could have used a bit more time to develop its flavors. The white beans were mild, so the dish needed a bit more spice. The small bits of carnitas were tasty, though the dish leaned more toward the vegetable side. *Mediterranean Breakfast: this dish was light and acidic. I wished the Mediterranean flavors stood out a bit more. The hummus was garlicky and tangy and paired nicely with the grilled pita, though the portion was small compared to the rest of the plate. The vinegary salad was perfect for my taste, and the avocado was fresh and creamy. The poached eggs were a little bland, so it would have benefited from more hummus. Overall, the food had decent flavors and the atmosphere was definitely my favorite part of Madison on Park. However, the slow service made the experience dampened our brunch experience.

    So the food was OK. Everyone raved about the watermelon stack, but I thought it was just OK. The best dishes were the stuffed ravioli. Linguine with clam sauce was delicious . Everyone raved about the pork chops, but I thought they were a little too bready. The drink selections were pretty creative and delicious. We tried everything from the old-fashioned to many other specialty drinks. Service was better than other reviews indicated . The would tables are extremely gross and sticky . I would recommend that the management put butcher paper over the tables and change this after every guest is done. The Latin jazz music was good .

    Yes they have! Every day at 4

    Is there a paid parking lot nearby? I don't want to park on the street.

    No paid parking lot. Only street parking within a mile or so this eatery.

    Is this place okay to bring a baby?

    Depends on the age of the baby. It is very busy and noisy on weekends. Have not been there during the week.

    I am planning on doing a bridal shower here, am I able to make reservations for that?

    I don't see why not

    Can I bring my pup here?

    Yes!

    For the live jazz do I make the reservation for standard seating or outdoor?

    Standard! =)

    Can you also order from the regular dinner menu during Sunday brunch hours?

    Unfortunately no. =/

    Do you have a kids menu?

    I don't believe so!

    Are dogs allowed in the enclosed space or just outside in the additional seating area?

    Dogs allowed EVERYWHERE in the restaurant! =)

    Trying to update reservation. What is the email address? I called and the voicemail audio was crackling and unclear when describing the email.

    When is happy hour? I don't see any information on the website.

    Hi! Unfortunately we, like most bars, can not afford to provide a happy hour at this time. In addition, our indoor bar where Happy Hour was provided, can not seat guests at this moment. Fingers crossed for 2021. ;)

    Can i bring kids?

    Yup! We’ve got high chairs if needed. :)

    For happy hour do you have to sit at the bar or can you be seated at the dining tables if you order off their happy hour menu?

    Hi Mylee. Yes, one must sit in the bar or the high top tables in the breezeway to order off the happy hour menu. Thank you!

    There was music playing but the area is super open so we were able to have a conversation!

    What time is brunch menu available?

    9:30am when we were here!

The food is was great and one of my favorite spots when I'm craving middle eastern wraps- I did built your own pita so of course I like the ingredients. I loved my pita bread (it's much different from the Greek style if you haven't tried it before!) and the enjoyed the steak in particular. It had a lot of warming spices (nutmeg and cinnamon maybe?) and the flavor is pretty unique! I added bell peppers, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onion, tahini sauce, and garlic sauce. I also got a piece of falafel - I always gotta judge a place by their falafel and this one was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside which was perfect. Next time I need to try the halloumi cheese stix with fig jam! Place was very clean and the decor was nice. I also love the Finjan coffee spot next door.

The staff is also consistently warm and kind, which makes the whole experience feel good from the moment you walk in. My only real frustration is with the wait times on online orders, and it's significant enough that I have to mention it. I work 10 min away and only get a 35-40 minute break. The app consistently quotes around 20 minutes- but honestly, 20 minutes shouldn't even be necessary. I've stood there and watched them make a bowl. It takes about two minutes. Other similar restaurants have my order ready in five minutes, consistently. So when the app quotes 20 and then I still end up waiting at the 20 minute mark on top of that - in a nearly empty restaurant - something is off. Today this happened (I hit the 20 min mark with no food), and I had to go up and ask them to make my order. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's happened enough times over the years that it genuinely deters me from coming here on my break. To their credit, there was a stretch where it seemed like they had it figured out, so I know they can do it. I just wish that consistency would stick. If you're not on a time crunch, absolutely go. The food alone is worth it. But if you're relying on a quoted pickup time, build in a buffer- a bigger one than you'd think you'd need.

For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.
