Madison's Restaurant

Madison’s at Old Edwards Inn is a beautiful, elegant yet cozy dining spot - a perfect setting to conclude our birthday getaway in Highlands. Since we were staying at the historic inn, dining at Madison’s felt like a great extension of our experience. The staff was attentive and well trained - always present but never intrusive. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, making for a memorable meal. Next time, we will aim to try one of the booth seats by the windows. We appreciate the team’s thoughtful birthday wishes, which added a personal touch to the evening. The only thing that could have made the experience even sweeter? A complimentary chocolate treat to end the night.

We stumbled upon Madison’s at the Old Edwards Inn based on a friend's recommendation for a late lunch. Although we were informed that lunch service ended at 2 PM, arriving at 2:10pm, we were pleasantly surprised when they seated us regarrdless with smiles on their faces. We started with two glasses of Riesling and their fabulous trout dip. The service was a perfect 10 out of 10, and the staff was incredibly lovely. For lunch, we ordered the liver and couldn’t resist trying the shrimp and grits, which turned out to be one of the best I’ve ever had. Later, we made our way to their Hummingbird Bar for cocktails and tasted their signature caramelized bread pudding, which was nothing short of fabulous. If you're in Highlands, there's no better place to stop for a drink, a bite to eat, or a divine meal. Also, such a beautiful place full of history!

Tucked away inside the Old Edwards Inn, Madison’s has unique charm for a nice dinner out. My husband and I recently went to celebrate my birthday. Our one knock came at the beginning with the bar so far away from the restaurant and a small space that felt more like a library. Once seated, we had a very nice waiter who was very attentive and helped us choose on a menu of items that all sounded wonderful. My husband got the stuffed pheasant and couldn’t stop raving at the flavor. That was u til he tried my steak. Perfectly cooked medium rare with a crisp outside. We also both enjoyed two different salads (one arugula and the other a Caesar). If you are looking for a nice dinner out in the area, very worth putting at the top of your list to consider.

The Madison’s Restaurant is very busy on the weekend and the wine garden outside is first come, first serve and was 1.5 hr wait on a Saturday in July. We thankfully had inside reservation. Service was top notch by Teddy. My advice is to also pick up the free local magazines to learn what is going on.

We ate here for lunch after reading the menu and were very excited. We ended up being incredibly disappointed because the food was just bland. The wagyu smash burger was barely perceptible in terms of flavor, as if it were unseasoned and the aioli they put on was dripping off but tasted like nothing. My wife got the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was good but all the flavors were very muted. We then got the " Caramelized Banana Puddin' " and it was plain pudding with nilla wafers and some caramel sauce at the bottom. Nothing was "caramelized" and when I got a piece of banana I couldn't even tell because it tasted like nothing. I forgot what it was supposed to have been while I was eating it. Everything was fresh, and it looked great, just overall not worth the exorbitant price tag for flavorless food. We expected more. The atmosphere was great, and the wait staff was incredibly nice. The cocktail was delicious.

Outstanding service and amazing food. The restaurant is very nice and has a wonderful selection of food offerings.

Wow, lunch at Madison's was the highlight of our weekend getaway. The food was great, the atmosphere elegant yet cozy, and the service was absolutely first rate. Carlos, said he had been a server at different restaurants for 11 years but Madison's was the first place to make him really want to provide service as good as the food - and that attitude came through in every interaction. We had a reservation but that was not necessary on Sunday morning anyway.

We went to Madison’s for our anniversary and had a lovely evening. The ambience was elegant but warm and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish we tried was so well prepared and flavorful. The only thing that left us a little disappointed was the service. Our waiter wasn’t very attentive or engaging, which did take away from the experience. Still, the setting and food made it a special night overall.
