The staff made every effort to make our experience special. It was a great evening for our family. The food was excellent, highly recommend the ravioli. The skirt steak and portobello fries were fantastic. The berry mascarpone cake was the perfect ending to a great meal. Service was prompt but relaxed. Music was lovely. Thanks again to the Madison team for the experience we really needed! Cheers!!

While the ambiance was cute and the food was good, the service was poor. Our table was about 2 inches from the table next to us. The waiter didn't come by for 20 minutes when we sat down and would rarely come by to check for additional orders. We were a group of four people and one person's dinner did not arrive with everyone else's. We had to leave the table to notify the server about the meal not arriving, and the server was sitting at the bar. He luckily comped the late meal, but still left us feeling awkward.

One of the best places to eat in San Diego overall! All around great environment, the staff is incredible, food quality is always consistent and so amazing, drinks are one of a kind The staff alone is what keeps me coming back because of their quality interactions with guest and excellent customer service! Could not recommend this place anymore and will always keep coming back!

Food was impeccable, service was garbage, I’ll refrain from using the name of the employe that served us out of respect for the industry but my god, I’ve never been paid to less attention at a restaurant in my life. Our appetizer never came out, and we were charged for it. The rest of our food order was taken an hour after we sat down. I tipped one of the bussers to bring our table a water pitcher because the server was nowhere to be found. Terrible but those waffle churros are to die for. We will coming back and calling ahead of time to make sure person who shall not be named isn’t working.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time inside this adorable lively spot. We had our reservation right during the sunset and it was absolutely magical. Every time we travel to San Diego it’s now a must do! The band was on point and the food and drinks were delicious.

Our only complaint is the too loud music. Not sure about you considering loud music as "energetic." We think having a nice conversation with one's dining partners is what is more valued than most restaurants consider. Frankly, there have been a number of restaurants we have not returned to because of the noise level.

This is my first time back to Madison on Park in a year. Love the ambience and service staff. Our server was Ian and he did a very good job. I had the Parmesan chicken and the chicken was good but the salad greens were to too sparse for the portion size of the chicken. The red blend was good but not great. I'd still go back as I have had some great meals in the past here.

There is an obvious attempt and care to have nice decor and ambiance. Busy is not bad but there is nothing to absorb any of the sound so it is a constant cacophony of noise. Unfortunately there was a sewer smell under the covered patio in back and the server was attentive but not personal. It is a hard time to be in the restaurant industry and hope that they are able to to build back to the standard of excellence I remember.

Excellent place. I really appreciate jazz night being a saxophonist myself, but it was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. Smooth jazz would be a better fit and more buoy able during dinner. Great food, great service!

Food and drinks were absolutely incredible. We wrote in our reservation that we were celebrating an anniversary and people around us were getting a small complimentary dessert but our waitress never brought us one nor did she mention it at all. Just kind of sucked that there wasn’t that extra step that makes a special occasion complete.

Been here several times with outstanding food. This fell well short of expectations. Service was good, watermelon stack appetizer great, then dinner. Ravioli mediocre, burger so-so, Swordfish bruschetta was extremely dry, bruschetta flavorless. Unfortunately a big miss on this particular dinner.

I ordered the stellar ember cocktail, tuna tartare and the gnocchi. All three were great! The gnocchi crab sauce was to die for, I would order this every time I go to Madison! We came for the jazz and it was definitely loud but it was super good and loved the few songs that they had a singer join for. Beautiful restaurant and the service was also wonderful!

Great food but wow the service was absolutely horrible. We were sat 30 minutes after our reservation. We waited 20 minutes before getting our drinks. Our table was a party of 6. Half the table got their food and 20 minutes later two others got theirs and the third got his food 10 minutes after that. This used to be a great spot but the service has really gone downhill.
