    Classic burger with poutine in back is baccon cheddar burger
    Lynn S.

    Walked in for a late lunch around 3 on a Saturday. Th place was steady but no wait. We ordered shortly after arriving. I got the classic burger with cheese and the poutine fries. Burger was well done but the taste was great. One sister ordered the soup/salad combo, the soup of the day was a tomato bisque, she said it was delious. The bacon cheddar burger ordered in our party was excellent served with fried onions instead of raw. All in all i woukd come again. Claudia was great.

    Avocado Toast

    Service was ok if you weren't thirsty and didn't need a refill. Ordered 2 steak and eggs medium rare and got 2 medium. The steaks are so thin it would be difficult to cook them any other way and be warm. The avocado toast was old, guacamole with a sour fermented taste. My little chunky potatoes had a nice flavor but were cold. The boy's potatoes were very good. VERY off putting. The French toast was overly dry bread with a tiny side of cheap syrup and whipped cream. The berries were nice and ripe but the rest of the dish sat pretty much untouched. It is a typical Denny's type atmosphere with booths for this breakfast at least.

    Had breakfast at this establishment, which was a two-minute walk from our hotel. We were pleasantly greeted upon entrance and were seated immediately. Our server was super nice. Though there were not a lot of options in terms of breakfast meats, I did ask for a fried egg, but apparently, only scrambled eggs are served. The pancakes were so-so. My husband steak and eggs, which he enjoyed.

    So the service earned a 2, but the food was a 4-5. It was not busy when we arrived for lunch, but we had a series of misses with the service. Lack of straws, no small plates for the appetizers, no dressing instead of extra dressing for the salad, empty drinks, meals served 10 minutes apart, not even a mention of dessert (which my kids were eager to order, but we gave up). Every "miss" took at least 5-10 minutes to get corrected, which is why we gave up and took the kids elsewhere for dessert. It is a shame because we all enjoyed our food.

    Poke bowl

    This place is within walking distance of several hotels. I went in with low expectations due to its location. I was proven wrong! Everything that we ordered was actually good. My son, who can complain about any food - loved his as well. My poke bowl was actually balanced perfectly from a quantity perspective - and the flavor was great with just enough spice. The staff were great. Our waiter was on his game. He checked in on us frequently and made sure the drinks were always near full. The place had a bunch of families with kids - but that's expected in touristy areas. Even with a heavy crowd, the staff kept things moving efficiently. Will definitely try this place again.

    Chicken Parmesan

    Had a wonderful night with server James! He was attentive, quickly met all our requests and did it with a smile! We had the whipped feta with pita appetizer! It was so yummy! Naan was very hot and perfectly salty. Cheese has pine nuts and lemon juice, perfect! I had the Fettucine Alfredo with chicken. The sauce was creamy and the pasta was al dente. I ordered the garlic bread which was crunchy and had the perfect amount of butter and garlic. Would definitely return!

    Food was delicious and very friendly staff. Located right by Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel.

    This place has a great vibe. We went on vacation and basically every where we went was busy and crowded. We caught a lucky break and was able to be seated quickly at a bar table. The server was friendly and very likeable. We did wait a little bit for our food but that was to be expected for a busy night. I ordered the burger on a GF bun and it was a really good burger. Lots of flavor and cooked perfect. My significant other got the fish. I cant remember the type. The salad was delicious and very filling and the fish was really good too. Then for dessert we shared a GF Turtle Cheesecake. It was pretty rich but really good. My son got the kids grilled cheese fingers and fries and since it was his birthday he got a free brownie! They also had really good seltzers at the bar in draft. It was Cottage Springs Rasberry Lemonade and I HIGHLY recommend it!

    Kung Pao with shrimp

    This place has a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Very roomy and a friendly atmosphere. Bratt was our bartender and made some great drinks. He was very personable and professional.

    The calamari was rubbery, nothing on this plate was fried crispy.
    Dominique Britnee R.

    The calamari was rubbery, and nothing on this plate was fried crispy. Afterward, I just ordered a salad. Everything was disappointing, and I didn't even want to take a picture. How this place has 4 stars really upset me because I choose my restaurants based on the stars when I'm out of town. This was a real waste of my time. On the positive side, you get free parking while you dine. The service was friendly and kind.

    Food was good. Service wasn't good, as it was only the bartender handling all of the tables. Could have used another person to help him.

    Excellent food, service, and venue. Noise level was reasonable and easy to carry on a conversation. We will visit again when in the area!

    We stopped in for breakfast on our first morning. Decent breakfast for the price that was charged. Waitress was nice enough.

Avoid this place student or not everyone's an ass. Genuinely one of the worst places you could go. I've never seen men treat women so badly and awfully bouncers are rude to people. The drinks are cheap. That's probably one of the only one positive attributes about it and why attracts such a young crowd. Steer Clear of this place ambiance has gone down over the last few years once again to reiterate the staff are awful, except for the bartenders, the bartenders are great. The rest of them suck.

    Decades ago, I hung out here with other professionals because the patio was awesome and the food…read moreand drink were reliably good. I went again last week. To me, the Madison seems like a fraternity/warehouse party house and not the interesting multi-level mansion that it used to be. To get into the building we had to pass through a passage or hallway (partly outdoors) in which a person--who seemed like a waitress--was smoking. When we left the bar, several people were smoking there and we had to pass through a fug in order to exit. As soon as I sat down on the patio, I smelled cigarettes. The smell persisted; when we changed seats to a different area of the patio, I noticed a young woman smoking in her seat. I finally told the waiter it was illegal and unpleasant and he agreed to do something. She was smoking so blatantly; I haven't seen that in years. Why I had to mention it, I don't know. My friends invited us to the Madison because their website advertised a deal on food and drink on the first Thursday of the month, and my friends are thrifty. When I arrived, some of the group were angry because they had been denied the deal although it was Thursday June 4. I spoke to the manager and showed her the offer on the Madison website. After a lengthy wait--she said she had to speak to someone higher up first--we were allowed the deal. The two most hangry people of the group left for another restaurant before we learned that the deal would be honoured. We proceeded to order some fine Amsterdam draft and snacks as per the deal. The beer, fish & chips, and quesadillas were all very good. However, because of the kerfuffle over the discount, the beer took at least 20 minutes to arrive AFTER they agreed to honour the deal: the Tap on the patio wasn't working. The food came when we were about half-done our pints; at this point, we were at least 45 minutes in the bar (which was not very busy). The music was blaring loud; we had to yell at each other to communicate. So I led the group over to another area of the patio without telling the waiter (he had been hard to find already, but I was fed up with the yelling and sitting at a picnic table, so we just moved). I guess that offended him because he gave me a heck of a glare; I gave him the same look back because I don't need that on a night out. A few minutes after moving, our group had a good laugh because it seemed that the music had been turned up louder in the new area; we had to talk very loudly to be heard over a group of students beside us and the music. We had repeatedly told the waiter that it was too loud and surprise!, the volume goes up! This may have made sense when I was young--hollering HOW ARE YOU at my friends in bars. The waiter seemed moody, so a friendly gal in our group asked him if he didn't like us, and another of our group asked for the waiter's name and introduced himself. The waiter then seemed to realize that we weren't just complaining irritants. Although I noticed an older man who appeared to be an academic and an affluent boomer couple from the neighbourhood, this seems to be a party place, like a warehouse bar. Loud, long waits for the beer, moody staff and false advertising. If I want to get wasted and blow $10 per draft beer, I'll be back.

So when I found myself on a recent Tuesday afternoon, I figured I'd better finally stop in. I showed up around 4:30 and the bar was already pretty packed, but luckily for me a couple of people were just leaving and freeing up a spot at the end. Score! I wound up taking advantage of the Happy Hour and grabbing a pint of a very tasty lager. I figured I should probably also have a bite, so I decided to go with the very affordable Taco ("cabbage, chipotle aioli, cilantro, onion, lime") and I got the Marinated Steak option. It's a decent taco. The chipotle aioli is quite tasty and zesty, and the other components, including a very fresh-tasting tortilla, are just as good. The meat was a little questionable, however, as it had a vaguely unpleasant flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on. Still, it was a cheap snack that I ate quite quickly. I can definitely see why the Wheat Sheaf Tavern has been around so long. The vibe was very welcoming and the bartender was super nice. I'll definitely return.
