| - I went there with my bf for Valentine's day, luckily we had reservations because this place is a hot spot! That night happened to be extra busy because there was a Bon Jovi concert right next door at the Bell Center.
We arrived before our set time for the reservation and were seated pretty quickly. Service was a bit slow considering how packed the place was although it is to be expected.
We ordered cocktails, which were nice and strong, tempura shrimps were deliciously tasty, ribs and filet mignon equally pleasing. Portions are generous, especially if you get fries. My bf was surprised to see he was given an additional 6 ribs to his plate as a bonus.
The only drawback is that they offer an events menu so I'm not sure how extensive the selection of food is or how the prices compare to the regular menu.
They also do not serve any bread basket, which is something that sets other steakhouses apart.
Around 8 pm the crowd died down once everyone left to the concert and it became a much nicer ambiance. Madison's is a pretty big restaurant that's shaped like a huge rectangle without many partitions so it's normally loud...
Once we were done eating, it seemed like we had been forgotten. No one had asked if we wanted dessert and when we wanted to leave, we had to chase another waitress down to get our bill.
Madison's is worth another try, because bottom line, the food is good, prices standard. I do want to go back for their 2 for 22$ special from Sunday-Thursday. We'll just have to figure out which day won't be an "event" to benefit from that deal, which may be kind of hard as there's always something going on at the Bell Center...
