| - On a recent trip to Montreal, after eating mostly asian for four days, my gf and I were both craving steak for our final dinner in the city. Having scoped out most of the steak joints in the downtown area, we decided on Madison's, mostly based on the menu. It definitely seemed like the type of steakhouse I know and love. Was not disappointed at all, in fact, pleasantly surprised.
Based on reviews, I was somewhat put off by the mention of "good for groups" and "good for kids" but all was well in this regard. We arrived early on a sunday evening to a less than half full restaurant and were seated at a nice booth by a window. Our waiter was excellent, polite and attentive. Nice menu with plenty of selections in all categories, including a reasonably priced wine list. My sirloin steak was done to a perfect med-well, crab cake appetizer was very good also. Enjoyed the meal so much, stayed for dessert and coffee.
My only gripe would be the clam chowder, which was thoroughly tasteless. All in all it would be a place to which I would definitely return on future trips to Montreal.
