I've been giving out a lot of 4-Stars lately, but then again I'm trying to only spend my money at places I think are worth it. Merchant Madison is definitely one of those places... but you have to go with the right attitude. This place attracts all sorts of characters from grungy hipsters to prickish tycoons. Whenever I go, I am sure to talk to the waiter about their opinions and have a conversation about my dislikes and likes both concerning food and beverages. I think, if you go with an open-mind, not one seeking chicken fingers and a long island ice tea, this place will not disappoint you! Beyond that, I highly recommend the Classic Burger and the Smoking Barrels cocktail.
