I came here for brunch with a couple of friends on a Sunday around noon. We had made reservations in advance and it was pretty busy when we got there, but we were seated right away upon arriving. The restaurant is so cute and nicely decorated! The space itself is gorgeous and very well thought out. I got the cold brew to drink and the avocado scramble as my meal. The cold brew was just OK and I would probably try something different next time. The avocado scramble, however, was delicious! There were plenty of avocados and the potatoes that came with the perfect amount of crispy. I would definitely come back here again for either lunch or dinner.

First time at Madison for a girls date and had a great time. Sat at the bar for lunch on a Saturday with no wait, but a full restaurant. Tried the White Bean Shakshuka with a Fickle Mistress, a mezcal with lime, strawberry, jalapeno, hibiscus flavors. Cocktails were good and strong. Also enjoyed my Shakshuka which had a some carnitas on top and a poached egg, served with pita bread you can dip. Strong tomato flavor. Although good, this is a light dish and would suggest something else if you have a heartier appetite. No complaints about service. A little pricy; for both a drink and entree it would be about $40

Madison might be my favorite restaurant in San Diego! It's located in University Heights and the atmosphere is so beautiful. It's relaxed but always lively with conversation, and the space itself is full of unique architecture and lovely details. The service is fast and the waitstaff is always so friendly and attentive, and they give amazing recommendations. I most recently went for dinner, where I got the motor bike cocktail, brie appetizer, and gnocchi. The drink was spectacular, and brilliantly balanced. Probably my new favorite spot for craft cocktails! The brie was also very good, but the cranberry habanero jam it came with was the standout for me. The gnocchi was genuinely one of the best dinners I've ever had, with the cheese stuffed pasta and crab sauce being completely out of this world amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Great place for brunch! Lots of outdoor seating as well as inside. Our party of 14 sat outside out front by the street. It was nice weather and staff provided us with umbrellas for some shade from the sun. Service was patient with our large group and they stored our birthday cake for us in the fridge until it was ready to be served. Music was a nice touch to the brunch vibes. I ordered myself the basic with a cafe latte (art on the latte was cute). My daughter had the chicken strips with fries. She is allergic to egg. Was happy to hear that the chicken strips did not have any egg on their batter. Menu has a selection of various dishes, whether you want sweet or savory and the drinks came out presentable and pretty. Would come here again for a brunch bite! There is street parking and plenty of parking a block away in the residential area. The bathrooms were clean. We had a few in our party who came late and staff accommodated us with no problems. Food was delicious and it was served to us timely. Thank you Madison!

Came on a Tuesday jazz night for date night with my husband. The jazz starts at 7pm and they take a little break every hour. Service was great, the food was good and the martini's are great. We sat inside and the jazz band was excellent but I don't think you'll be able to hear them if you sat outside.

Completely loved this spot! It was my first time stopping by. We did a walk-in and sat at the bar. A seat was offered with a wait but the bar was amazing. The way the bar is set up and the lighting with the vibe and music is great! We got in right before happy hour and was able to enjoy that. The steak skirt and the watermelon with cheese was great. It was nice to try something new. Our bartender did a phenomenal job! Didn't catch her name but it she did great. The drinks as well were amazing. Its such a nice vibe to hang out and have a drink if you do so.

The service was so fast, drinks and food came out so quickly. I was amazed. The low lights and artsty vibe is so nice for any occasion. We loved our drinks and tried some of their different flavor espresso martinis. Food is always good here but we tried and app from the seasonal menu,the goat cheese and beet bruschetta, it was a miss.

Beautiful atmosphere, we sat in a booth in the bar area. Was relatively empty at 5pm on a Tuesday. The food came out at once and was all really delicious! The pasta was our favorite.
