We went to Madison primarily for the entertainment -- a singer who sang a variety of songs. The restaurant is interesting -- kind of both indoors and outdoors at the same time. There is a ceiling, but it is also open at both the front and back at the restaurant. The food is largely Italian. I had the gnocchi, which is something that I don't always like. This was very good! My dad liked the ravioli Rossini, and my sister enjoyed the chicken piccata. But, the food seemed to come out a little too fast -- as if they had it all ready & just warmed it up. I don't think we waited even 10 minutes. And, they did not serve bread. We asked for some, and they brought us a few small pieces of toast -- and charged for it. And also surprising and disappointing was that they didn't serve coffee at all. Very strange. Still, it was pretty good, albeit expensive (as most San Diego restaurants seem to be).
Had dinner here for Valentine's day. They had a prix-fixe menu for the evening--$99/person. They also offered wine pairings for an extra charge, but I don't drink so we opted out. I would say that the prix-fixe menu and price paired together get a solid 4. Out of everything I tried, my favorite was the portobello (mushroom) "fries." Nothing else really stood out as special. Cute ambiance and good service, will have to try their regular menu some time.
Before I describe my experience, I need to preface that the food was excellent, the location and ambiance was amazing! The staff was so wonderful!!! And everyone needs to come here! We were celebrating our daughter's graduation and they accommodated a large party(we called to book the table, nicest and most accommodating person ever) When we arrived everything was ready for us and was gorgeous. But we didn't realize that they had live music. So it was a little louder than we had anticipated. So if this is not your jam, check out their schedule. So we asked if there was any way to move further away from the music and they so quickly moved all 16 of us and made it so wonderful. The food came so quickly and we had the most amazing time. You will not be disappointed! Get the ravioli and the gnocchi!!!
My friends and I came here for one of my friend's birthdays. We all got different drinks and food and tried each others. The drinks are strong. One of my friends and I shared the greek fries and gnocchi. The tahini sauce for the fried was just ok. I wish it was tzatziki instead. The gnocchi was nice and light, not too heavy even though it's a cream based sauce. I tried my friend's Mediterranean Milanese and the chicken was nice and crispy. The ravioli Rossini sauce was very rich and tasty. We told our server it was one of my friend's birthday and they brought us a chocolate marquise cake. Everything tasted delicious and service was great. A little pricy but nice for special occasions!
This place is so cute! The vibes are cozy and modern. We were only there for drinks this time but would definitely come back to try the food. We also came during their happy hour from 5-6. We got the motorbike and the heavyset honeybee. The motorbike comes with tequila, watermelon, aperol, ginger and lime but I could only really taste the watermelon and tequila. Refreshing but a little underwhelming. The honeybee was delicious though. It was sweet but also complex. Service was super friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back!
My parner and I went here during happy hour and were able to get seat the bar immediately. (Happy hour is only available at the bar or patio). We lived the vibe of the place! Also on certain days they have live jazz music which is really cool. Service was really good! Our bartender Jenny was amazing. We got the Motor Bike and Heavyset HoneyBee. I preferred the HoneyBee over the Motor Bike but I'm a sucker for honey lol Overall will definitely come back to try the food and live jazz music.
I visited with two friends, all of us longtime hospitality professionals, so we understand how demanding the industry can be and always try to give grace. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar started off on the wrong foot due to the bartender, Peter. He came across as rude, dismissive, and genuinely unwelcoming, which made us feel like an inconvenience rather than guests. Thankfully, after moving to a booth in the bar, our new server completely turned the experience around. They were attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service from start to finish. Their professionalism and hospitality were exactly what we expect when dining out and made a noticeable difference in our visit. Great service has the power to recover a negative experience, and our server did just that. I hope management recognizes the impact both positive and negative interactions have on guests and addresses the inconsistency in service.
We had reservations at 6:30 and were told that our server will be right with us. The menu is quite small so we were quick to make a decision. There were two servers that we noticed serving tables. A girl whose attention was only in the middle row. Then there was a dude who was attending the most left row and the most right row (ours). Two tables that were seated after us (right in front of us) had their orders taken before us. The dude also refilled their waters then would cut away from our corner table and go back to the most left row. It was infuriating to see them pass our table multiple times. We were so close to leaving after waiting 30 minutes. We flagged down one of the staff members who has been attentive to our water and asked if we can get someone to take our orders. He had a talk with the waiter who looked confused. The dude finally came over and took our order but there was no apology and a clear lack of enthusiasm compared to how he talked to the table on my left. After our orders were taken, the girl from the middle row came over and introduced herself as our waitress. It was confusing. We didn't want to throw in the race card but we couldn't help but notice that we were the only minorities eating there. Were we overlooked because of that or was it was a miscommunication amongst staff members? Idk but we could've had a dessert comped at least. Honestly, the food wasn't even worth the wait. The best thing was the fries which were probably frozen. The chicken was so dry that it took forever to cut and it took an effortful swallow. Sure the vibes were nice but the whole experience was soured by the lack of service initially. We ate our food faster than the wait to get our orders taken. Shout out to the water boys though for making sure our waters were refilled and getting a waiter to finally pay attention to us.
This was my second time at Madison, and unfortunately, it'll probably be my last. The first time I went with my best friend, and it was just okay -- good service, but the flies were pretty annoying. I decided to give it another chance, this time with a group of seven of us, and sadly, the same fly problem continued. The service this time was honestly strange. We got our food and drinks fairly quickly, but no utensils. We couldn't find our server anywhere, so we had to flag down another staff member just to get forks and knives. Then, when it came time to pay, we waited what felt like forever for someone to come by. Food-wise, it was pretty hit or miss. Some people at the table got salads, others got the breakfast burrito , bowls, classic breakfast -- everything was just fine, nothing memorable. The one standout item was the churro waffle sticks with jalapeño jam -- those were actually really good and the only thing we all agreed on. The space itself is cute -- very aesthetic -- but the flies, the uneven service, and the underwhelming food make it hard to justify another visit.
Absolutely one of our favorite spots. Great for cocktails and dinner or just cocktails and appetizers. My favorite is the crab and corn gnocchi is absolutely to die for not too heavy such amazing flavors. The gin and cucumber cooler cocktail is also so light and fresh literally taste like a spa. I've been here with my parents. I've gone on a date night and as a girls night such a great spot for any occasion. It is a little loud but great atmosphere with a lot of wood very earthy and natural . The service is good. I would say they're a little overbooked that the waitress doesn't come to your table 2 too often but there's also people around that can help you if you need something.
Came here for a quick breakfast/ lunch. I ordered their breakfast burrito and I got to say it was delicious. I order it to go because it was a quick stop. However as we waited we sat outside. As we waited for my food they brought us water, my friends and I drank water and talked so the wait didn't seem long.

Finally got to try Madison after hearing so many great things. It was pretty busy at 6pm on a Sunday, and for good reason! This place is absolutely stunning with a solid menu to match. My friends enjoyed the flavors of their Chicken Milanese and the Steak dish, but were a bit disappointed in the serving size - quite small for the price. However I enjoyed my pesto pasta thoroughly and would definitely come back for it again! This is a solid restaurant with fantastic ambiance and great service. read more

Madison is uniquely good and uniquely bad at the same time. For starters, the service wasn't what you would expect for the pricing at $18 dollar cocktails and $25 dollar chicken entrees. It took 10 minutes to get a hello or a notice in the bar seating which is crazy because there were two bartenders, a bar back and an additional server in the small bar area of the restaurant. Here's where it becomes unique: the hostess and one of the bartenders were also drinking at the bar and sitting down at times while also working at other times. Look I'm a GM of a restaurant in San Diego, I get that some dive bars or lower end restaurants and our industry work this way, that's chill and can be a vibe. But this was supposed to be high end with San Francisco pricing so why is it happening here? With that being said, here are some good notes: the decor is well put together. The food is curated even if a bit minimal (the Milanese was dry with no additional sauce which was unique.) Cocktails were good. I know I'm griping about the service but seriously it's only because you all look a certain way and are priced a certain way. The service should reflect that a bit more than not otherwise it's hard to swallow the costs of things when my hostess is drinking at a bar then gets up to let me know they are doing last call for food then goes and sits back down and starts to drink again. read more

Only came in for happy hour drinks. They were delicious! H&H is what I would recommend. Sat at the bar with a few friends and the ambiance was relaxing and chill and helped set the mood for the rest of our evening. read more
Came in fr brunch on Mother's Day weekend with my besties and our moms. It is soo cute and beautiful in there. Love the aesthetic. It was a bit warm in there, wish more air flow was available. The menu looked great. One of my besties comes often and loves it here. For me, the food was kind of basic/bland. It was fun for the vibes and spending time together but I don't think the food was all that great. My lemonade was pricey, cute, but ok. Got my mom the special horchata iced latte, she didn't like it either (we had to add simple syrup for her). She got the quesadilla special with bacon and other items. She said it was also ok. My papas lo as were prob a 4/10 for me. The eggs were firm but no flavor idk how to explain it. The potato's were too hard. The sauces were ok so not very helpful to elevate the food for me. Presentation was beautiful but flavor was not there for me. Also for one of the other mamas, her food got messed up twice. So that was not good. She got her second error plate late into our meal and didn't ask for a new correction because we were almost done eating. Luckily they removed it from the bill but now she didn't really get to enjoy her meal. The other mama, she did not like her chilaquiles, she added salt and sauce. I didn't know she didn't like it until the end when she had majority of it left over and she mentioned even the sauces didn't make it better. My bestie got the avocado toast plate and liked it! Maybe I should've stuck to a more normal breakfast. She paid extra for two slices of bacon and they provided 1 strip and like 1/4 of another strip. She had to ask for another strip.... Overall, I still had a ton of fun and staff were friendly. But meal wise, I don't think it was for me. read more

Have been here for brunch a few times and enjoyed it, but went tonight for dinner with our dog for the Wednesday doggie dine in, and were super disappointed with the service. The food was good, not amazing, but good. We had the avocado and grapefruit salad, which was nice and refreshing, as well as the pesto pasta and gnocchi. Pesto sauce was good but that pasta was nothing special. Gnocchi was very good and pillowy. Despite the food being overall pretty good, everything took forever which was frustrating. Us and the table next to us had to wave down someone to take orders after being neglected for over half an hour. The dog menu is cute and our dog enjoyed, but it's definitely geared towards bigger dogs (very large chunks of veggies). Also the dog menu says it includes a doggie dessert cookie, but we asked about it and they said they didn't have it, which was another disappointment. Not sure if the service tonight was a staffing issue or what, but probably will not bother coming back after tonight's experience. read more
Visiting from Las Vegas, my family and I were looking for a place in San Diego that felt special, relaxing, and pet-friendly and Madison checked all the boxes. We came on a Wednesday evening for their "Dinner with Your Dog" night, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences of our trip. Right away, we were impressed by how dog-friendly the restaurant is. The staff made us (and our pups!) feel completely welcome. Our dogs even got to create their own custom dog bowl, and the portion they received was surprisingly generous. We were a little bummed to find out they didn't have the ingredients for the dog mocktails that night, but honestly, the overall experience more than made up for it. Our server was amazing! He was warm, attentive, and super helpful when it came to deciding on appetizers. We ended up trying the Portobello Fries and the Tuna Tartare. The portobello fries had a texture that wasn't quite for us (a bit too mushy), but the dipping sauces were delicious and might be worth a try for someone who enjoys that kind of earthy softness. The Tuna Tartare, on the other hand, was outstanding fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. For entrees, we went all out and tried the: * Pistachio Pesto Pasta * Lobster Risotto * Sliders * Tagliata di Manzo (sliced steak) * Clam Linguine Each dish was fantastic in its own way. The pasta was creamy and herbaceous, the risotto was rich without being overwhelming, and the clam linguine had just the right balance of briny seafood and garlicy goodness. The Tagliata di Manzo was a showstopper perfectly cooked and super flavorful. And the sliders? Gone in minutes. We really couldn't find a bad bite among the bunch. The ambiance was everything. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining, and to top it all off, there was a live jazz musician playing while we ate it truly brought the whole night together. Between the food, the music, and the relaxed yet elevated atmosphere, it was one of those moments that just felt special. Our server also helped us pick a local Ice Cream shop in town for dessert and it did not disappoint. We had such a great time that we're already talking about coming back the next time we're in San Diego. Whether you're a local or just visiting with your family (and furry friends), Madison is an experience worth making time for. Highly recommend coming on a Wednesday for the dog dinner night especially if you're not from San Diego! Being from Las Vegas not everything is pet friendly so I loved this. read more

Made a reservation to come on a Wednesday evening with my husband and pup. Luckily on Wednesdays, they offer dog menus where you can create your own bowl for your fur baby packed with grains, veggies, and protein. My doggo loved her meal and we were able to take the leftovers home! The ambience was amazing - live jazz was playing, drinks were so good, and the food was good too. My husband and I shared the portobello mushroom appetizer and each ordered 1 entree. My husband enjoyed the pork chop. My chicken piccata was a bit on the sour/lemony side. We also got churro waffle sticks to go - delish! I have been wanting to come to Madison on Park for years! I'm so happy I finally got to try it out and it did not disappoint. Pro tip: they are dog friendly but they only serve meals for dogs on Wednesdays! read more
Madison is one of the few restaurants on this block to have their outdoor patio available for dining outside and was the perfect pick to end the summer with their summer items. I enjoyed their Summer Corn Salad from their summer menu. We also got their Warm Tomato Burrata, and for my entrée I had their Chicken Piccata. The Summer Corn Salad was sweet and savory from the corn and feta cheese. It was a good contrast to my entree that was both light and flavorful! Overall the ingredients are a bit light so I would probably add in extra leafy greens to make this dish more filling. The Warm Burrata and Tomato was also a nice shareable appetizer. The flavor of the tomatoes came out when cooked and provided some acidity. Eating it with the warm crispy slices of toasted bread and burrata helped mask the tomatoes a bit! The lemon-butter sauce from the Chicken Piccata was delicious but heavy on the lemon. It was grated with more lemon zest on top, but the capers helped to balance out the lemon flavor a bit. I would say the portions here are on the lighter side! Two starters was actually ideal for this meal, but I did get to try different things! They always have happy hour every day 4-6pm so if I were to return I'd definitely take advantage of it. Other wise, I would probably not revisit. The service was friendly and patient as it took awhile for me to decide on what I wanted! read more
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 read more

The vibes are super cute on the inside, but the food's a bit generic and can be hit or miss. Averaging out my experiences into 3 stars because the risotto had me in the bathroom for several hours. Went with a safer plain pasta on the second visit with friends, and it was good, but very generic tasting. Love the live jazz if you catch it! read more

Wow! A cocktail that's served with a tarot card that is read to you at the table?! Not only super cool but probably the best cocktail I've ever had. For that, it gets a five star. What brings it down to a three is the service. Food was good, yes, but the service Was terrible. We sat there and sat there and sat there before, during, and after our meal, not getting checked on in our server, some gal that was also at the door with long, dark, bushy hair, was scary and mean and not friendly and should not be in the business. She is not doing that restaurant any service because I think it's fabulous, but our experience was not fabulous, because of the unintentional and the inattentiveness of both her and management walking by many times and ignoring us. We needed things and they could've cared less. Huge bummer because I would've liked to gone back. read more

We tried the brunch here finally! The restaurant itself is the cutest. The decor is beautiful and staff was welcoming. Though it's a cute and trendy spot, we probably wouldn't come back for brunch, maybe for dinner! But for brunch it was a one and done experience especially since there's so many spots nearby. Food review: Iced chai tea: (2/5) it was not tasty at all even with the sweetener. I had to send it back. The G.O.A.T.(4/5) Pretty tasty overall, good portion. The potatoes are good! French toast (3/5) we weren't impressed with it. The description and food itself looked and sounded better than it tasted. Chicken melt: (4/5) the chicken was a little tough, but overall pretty good. The bread was also too crunchy and cut the roof of my mouth. Chilaquiles: (3/5) lacked some flavor, definitely needed some hot sauce and salsa on top. LOL read more
One of the best brunches I've had in SD! Super spacious and friendly staff. Had the orange pineapple kale mimosa & the guava mimosa and those were delicious (not pictured because they went away fast). Decided to try their breakfast special quesadilla, super light and flavorful, my only gripe is that I was still hungry afterwards lol read more
Came here for a birthday brunch, A+ on the ambiance. If you're into a more intimate atmosphere this is your place. However the menu is a bit boring for lack of better words. I server was very friendly, upbeat and attentive. The food was okay, lacked a bit in flavor. However presentation was so aesthetically pleasing, BEAUTIFUL PLATING. They have a great cocktail menu and the churro waffle fries were divine! read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 What a gorgeous spot to spend a mid-day brunch with friends. The dining area is beautiful with a covered indoor/outdoor vibe. The soaring, wood-paneled ceiling and modern decor make this place utterly Instagram-able. To eat, we had the chilaquiles, Mediterranean breakfast and chicken fried steak. Each were delicious, but I really enjoyed my Mediterranean breakfast which was light, simple and delicious. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the staff even brought out our dessert with a sparkler. Speaking of the staff, everyone was super friendly and attentive- from the host to the waitstaff. We will definitely be back! read more
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! read more
When I found out they had a HH, I've been wanting to check it out. So so glad I did. Great HH menu. They have a great selection for everyone. Service was attentive, food was delicious and all cocktails were well made. LOVE LOVE and I will definitely be back. HH everyday 4-6pm in bar area and outside seating. And yes they take rsvp. read more

This place was so beautiful!! When you walk in, the ambiance is already stunning and you know you're gonna get an amazing brunch. Staff is super friendly and the food came quickly. Make sure to have a reservation though! Here's some notes on the things we tried: Waffles churro sticks - super crispy and flavorful! It came with berries and a berry sauce which was unexpectedly spicy (but added such a great depth of flavor!) White bean shakshuka - I love shakshukas and this one did not disappoint! The poached egg mixed perfectly with the richness of the dish, and the pulled pork was juicy and delicious Papas locas - a great brunchy choice if you're feeling like having something egg-y! With fluffy scrambled eggs and crispy potato wedges, this bowl was a perfect start to the day French toast - if you like your sweet breakfasts, this one is for you! Light yet moist, the French toast came with a good amount of fruit and butter to accompany the dish! read more

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. read more

Came here for their Wednesday dog dinner date. It was such a cute date night idea. Shoutout to them for the creativity. Parking is always tough in that area but not impossible to find. You'll almost always find yourself walking about five minutes to the place. You're more likely to find neighborhood parking than right in front of the restaurant. You enter through the side door and head down a hallway to get to the front desk. There's three separate places to sit - in the very back, in the front of the house which also has the bar there, and then outside in the front patio. We sat outside in the front patio (which is basically an area in the front of the business next to the sidewalk) with the dogs. There's a few things that would get a high rating in my opinion. The biggest being that espresso martini. I had the Ibarra and my gawd. It was delish. I wanted to lick the martini glass clean. Everyone should get that. I'd give that a five star. I also thought the pork chops was divine. I'd give the pork chops a four star. The wait staff was really fun too and nice. I'd give them 4 stars. The other half of my meal was 3 stars. The Mr Nice Guy drink was okay. Not terrific as I was hoping. Solid touch with the CBD oil. I think it came across a bit bland. The Pistachio Pesto Pasta was a 2 star plate. I added shrimp for an additional 6 dollars and only 4 came in the plate which was a bit disappointing. But in general, the hint of pistachio was lovely but the pesto was underwhelming. We also got a dog bowl for my dog. It was a lot of options for him. You pick up to 3 bases, one protein, and three doggie cookies. All for 15 dollars. If you want, you can add a mocktail for them for an additional 9 dollars. Our dog licked the bowl clean. He seemed happy (but what dog isn't when you give them food?!). All in all, because the other half of the meal was mediocre, i'll have to give it 3 stars despite how great the other half of the meal was. I absolutely would recommend this place, I just wouldn't recommend the pasta. read more

This is a spot to impress your date. Madison is an open air restaurant which was romantic and warmly lit. They have live bands playing which really set that romantic ambience. I got their Ravioli with a spinach and ricotta filling. Their bread was perfectly toasted and crispy. The rose sauce on the ravioli was the best I've ever had I soaked it all up with thr bread. The portion however was a bit small so I wish they had more raviolis! Their drinks are Instagram worthy and strong. Our whole table got the queen of crowns which comes with a tarot card reading which is a great way to start some conversation at the table. read more

We came here from an early dinner at around 6 and had no problems getting seated. I would account for time to find parking because it'll take you awhile to find a spot if you're not lucky! Our outside seats were your typical tables and chairs. But when I went to the restroom and to back of the building I saw that this place had a nice barn style area with beautiful wood deck flooring and high arching ceilings. It caught me by surprised how lovey the inside looked. I can imagine a romantic ambiance here at night. As for the food I wasn't super impressed. I got the shrimp pasta from the specials and didn't find a lot of strong flavors while eating it. Though, my boyfriend loved the chicken parm and pasta. I'd recommend getting that if you are in between choices. I tried all four espresso martinis and loved the Tiramisu and Oreo the best! I also thought the Night Forage cocktail was light and delicious. read more
Food 10/10 - pictures don't do it justice. The pork chop was crispy yet moist. The lamb shank was falling off the bone and the shish kabob was full of flavor. Ambiance 10/10 - fun and cute spot to grab drinks. Recommend for a date night for sure! Service 8/10 - dinner time can be busy so service is a little slower and may take time for your food to come out, But worth the wait! read more

The waffle churro sticks were honestly perfect. We loved the maple cream cheese dip and the jalapeño blackberry sauce had a tangy spicy kick to it! Pairing them together was a the best choice they have made! I also had the G.O.A.T and I loved the habanero apricot jam. It definitely set it apart from a typical sandwich! Madison is definitely a trendy brunch spot and now I totally get why. Service was also great even though it was quite busy when we went. Overall I would definitely come here again! read more

Is this a kid friendly restart ? Doy they have a kids menu?
Hello - no kids menu here unfortunately - it's an adult restaurant
Is there a paid parking lot nearby? I don't want to park on the street.
No paid parking lot. Only street parking within a mile or so this eatery.
Is this place okay to bring a baby?
Depends on the age of the baby. It is very busy and noisy on weekends. Have not been there during the week.
I am planning on doing a bridal shower here, am I able to make reservations for that?
I don't see why not
For the live jazz do I make the reservation for standard seating or outdoor?
Standard! =)
Can you also order from the regular dinner menu during Sunday brunch hours?
Unfortunately no. =/
Are dogs allowed in the enclosed space or just outside in the additional seating area?
Dogs allowed EVERYWHERE in the restaurant! =)
Trying to update reservation. What is the email address? I called and the voicemail audio was crackling and unclear when describing the email.
Is their bottomless mimosas? 😅
No but they do offer pitchers of really fun flavors: Orange-Pineapple-Kale, Mango-Mint, Black Majic, Blue Dream, etc… :)
Is there still live music on certain nights?
Tuesday Live Jazz but must make reservations inside at least 1 week ahead of time if not more. =)
Is there parking for the restaraunt?
There is only paid street parking on Park Blvd, but you can sometimes find free parking a block or 2 away.
When is happy hour? I don't see any information on the website.
Hi! Unfortunately we, like most bars, can not afford to provide a happy hour at this time. In addition, our indoor bar where Happy Hour was provided, can not seat guests at this moment. Fingers crossed for 2021. ;)
For happy hour do you have to sit at the bar or can you be seated at the dining tables if you order off their happy hour menu?
Hi Mylee. Yes, one must sit in the bar or the high top tables in the breezeway to order off the happy hour menu. Thank you!
Hi- odd question. How are the acoustics in the dining area? I want to be able to have a conversation and hear my friends. Thanks!
There was music playing but the area is super open so we were able to have a conversation!
