History: After purchasing and extensive remodeling 216 Madison St., Madison's™ opened its doors in April of 1982. In the spring of 1983, the neighboring building (214 Madison St.) was purchased and remodeled, increasing the size of Madison's™ to 7200 square feet with seating for approximately 200, lounge seating for 40 and two private dining rooms accommodating small groups or up to 120. A large outdoor patio was completed in 2002.
We have continually updated the aesthetics of the restaurant's interior and exterior: modernizing while respecting and maintaining the buildings' rich history and integrity, with a mixture of warm woods, rich colors and various antiques throughout. Both 214 and 216 Madison St. have been home to a variety of restaurants since the late 1800's.
