Madison's Restaurant and Wine Garden

Excellent restaurant and incredible wine list.  My wife took me there to celebrate my birthday with great friends, Our evening started Mary our server--she was great in every aspect of service, next we were greeted by our wine navigator, he was spot on when we challenged him with three different wine preferences rolled into one bottle...actually it took two to get us through dinner!  The a la carte menu is similar to most fine dining establishments, the wine was reasonably priced the chocolate souffle capped off a great evening.  
We will be back!

So cozy and quaint. Loved sitting outside on the veranda. We had already eaten lunch so stopped by for some afternoon tea and wine. It was so relaxing sitting by the waterfall and just vegging out. Great service and would also recommend for brunch or dinner... Also if you have time, check out the Old Edwards for a nice massage and spa time!

My husband surprised me with a birthday getaway to Old Edwards Inn & part of the package he got included a 3 course dinner at Madison's. This place. Wow. What an experience!

First, let me say, you should really go here if you're celebrating a special occasion. From rose petals sprinkled on the table...to complimentary surprises from the kitchen...to our dessert with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate - they really roll out the red carpet for you!

We started with salads - one garden drenched in homemade blue cheese, one with pear and fried goat cheese (both decorated with edible flowers!). We also tried their scallop appetizer - large scallops so fresh and delicious. For our mains, I had the beef tenderloin and my husband had the venison. They were both out of this world!! I think I was in a food coma by this point, but I do remember my tenderloin was served perfectly medium rare with purple carrots and a variety of other fresh root veggies (think different types of beets).

The service was also outstanding...the food was all perfectly timed and our waiter checked on us just enough. He advised us on the very important decision on dessert...apparently every day they have a special soufflé and he said that was the way to go (but you need to plan for it since it takes 20 minutes to prepare).

That night it was an apple cinnamon soufflé. By now my food coma was a permanent condition. Wow...so good...drool. Definitely try the soufflé, hot out of the oven goodness!

I loved Madison's and hope to try it again some day if I'm back in Highlands!
