Federal Bar

I have been here several times and the food has always been fantastic. The only real negative is the cost - it is on the expensive side, but I am always willing to treat myself every once in a while to a nice meal. My favorite dishes are their ravioli and Fettuccine Ala Madison's.

My vendor took us out to dinner after the SAMPE convention and Madison was definitely a great choice! The architecture was beautiful! I loved the high ceilings and the mahogany walls. I went with a group of 8 people.The service was great.We started off with some appetizers: fried calamari - I didn't get to try it, but I heard it was yummy.crab cakes - It was my favorite! I've never tasted anything like it.bacon wrapped prawns - Tried to stay away from the bacon and only ate the prawns. It was sort of spicy. For my entree, I ordered the petit filet (medium rare). It was so tender and the cabernet sauvignon sauce was so yummy! It was the perfect steak! I was contemplating whether I should order the rack of lamb, but I always order that! I'm glad I ended up ordering the filet, because my tummy was very happy with my choice. For the sides, I ordered grilled asparagus. Lastly, we had desserts! They all looked so good and I couldn't decide which one to choose. The waiter came to me first.

Patrick,Thank you so much for the amazing dinners. Keith and David were so happy and you and your team really made me look like a star. Thank you. I wonder if you can help me dig up my dinner receipt from the bar on Friday. It was $70 or so. Im doing my expenses and because I paid in cash, I have to transaction detail. Is there any way you can send me a copy? I had a few glasses of Pinot Grio and the London sole, if that helps. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you again next time. Best, April L

The restaurant is beautiful. The food was fabulous. The service was excellent. Ryan was our server and was very sweet, attentive and most accommodating. The special order cake was absolutely delicious and included all of the details I requested! Please pass along my compliments to the kitchen! -Kelly M.

We attended a relative's wedding held in your restaurant. We had a good time and expressed how we enjoyed the decor of the building and the hospitality of your hosts. -Alex S.

Thank you, Patrick, for another lovely evening at your restaurant. We had such a nice time, and the tables were perfect. Also, I must say that the bartender last night (I think his name was Daniel?) was extremely accommodating, and everything was seamless! I'm sure we'll be seeing you again very soon, and thanks again! -Kelly C.

The past was a hit and I can't thank you and your team enough for all your help. The food was great and I can't tell you how many people called to thank us today. Everything was perfect and I really appreciate your help over the past few months!

Thank you for all your assistance in throwing a memorable reception! Everything was lovely, the food was delicious. -Jeanette G.

The service, professionalism, food, and atmosphere at your fine restaurant were just excellent and our management company was very impressed. Thank you for all your help and assistance in finalizing all the arrangements and I will definitely use you again in the near future for such events. Best regards! Brad B.

You are a sweetheart! Thank you so much for the generous gift certificate! I will save it for a very special occasion (although I think any meal at the Madison would be a special occasion!) I will let you know when i cam coming to use the gift so we can rendezvous! My colleagues are still raving about their evening at the restaurant -- everything was perfect!!

I have heard nothing but compliments about the restaurant, the food and the service. The dinner was simply beautiful and was a great way to begin the evening. Thank you again for allowing our large group to enjoy The Madison. I appreciate all of your time! Thanks again! Kelly B.

On behalf of our entire senior management team, I wanted to thank you and your very competent staff for our wonderful dinner/meeting we held last night at your restaurant.
