"Cafe Madison created a beautiful new space since their move/renovation. The decor is modern and comfortable, with big open spaces and a full bar. Unfortunately my experience with the food was extremely disappointing. The Nashville Hot Breakfast burrito was the worst brunch food I can remember. It consisted of thin, over-fried, extremely dry chicken, fried potatoes, eggs, and undetectable amount of cheese. They smear the top of burrito with hot sauce and ranch. The chicken is not 'nashville hot ', it 's the same chicken strips served with their chicken and french toast dish. It was folded more like a 'wrap ' than a burrito, with the dry chicken tearing holes in the tortilla. The same fried potatoes that make up the majority of the burrito are also served as the side. I 'll probably give Cafe Madison another try with hopes that the rest of their menu is less awful. Service was friendly and relatively quick. But overall the experience was not worth the 45 minute wait for a table at 11am on a Sunday. (No reservations, cant add your name to a list online)"

Visited Sarita@ Cafe Madison and it's fantastic! It's Cafe Madison's return to evening drinks and dinner. It's kinda the best of The Point redux. View menu

Really enjoyed having breakfast here. Fun ambiance, great music and lively atmosphere. Had the chicken and waffles and the flavors were savory and mouth watering. The bacon steak had lots of juicy bites and surprisingly very southern grits to dip it in. Service was also on point. Very good for big groups as well. Seems like a go-to for brunch in Albany.

My family and I stopped at Cafe Madison for breakfast on a Sunday. We weren't there early in the morning, and it was not crowded. We decided to sit outside and were accommodated without a problem. The server was very attentive and brought our orders promptly. The food was very good. My kids ordered pancakes and French toast, while my wife ordered the basic breakfast and I ordered the super breakfast. We are definitely coming back for more when we return to Albany.

I recently stopped by Cafe Madison and had an incredible meal. The dish I ordered was pure comfort food at its best eggs cooked perfectly over a hearty serving of corned beef hash, seasoned potatoes that had a nice crisp on the outside and were fluffy inside, and some fresh toast to top it off. The sauce on top of the eggs added a creamy, flavorful touch that really tied the dish together. Everything was well seasoned, and the portion size was just right to fill me up without leaving me stuffed. View menu

This is my first time at the new location a door down from the previous smaller place. I was hopeful the menu and service stayed the same. Well, we are extremely excited to report, they are even better than before. The location is beautiful with a very large bar and plenty of seating. Looks like in the nicer weather there is a patio outfront. Service at the bar was quick and helpful. Pictures show what we ordered and all the food was amazing! Probably one of the best brunch locations north of NYC and west of Boston! Must try! We WILL be back!

Cafe Madison is a reliably amazing breakfast/brunch spot. Delicious cocktails include Irish Coffee and different kids of Mimosas. The French Toast Stacker is a thing of beauty. Cinnamon lovers rejoice over the cinnamon butter spread that comes with it. That mixed with breakfast meat and maple syrup is a tastebud overload in a good way. Their Corned Beef hash Benedict has just the right taste and texture too. Service is friendly and efficient without feeling like they are rushing you. I am grateful for this reliable restaurant when I want to go out for breakfast.

"We had requested the rounded corner booth in the main dining room and arrived 20 minutes early, planning to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. But instead, we were seated at a booth right next to our preferred one. A couple finished their meal shortly after we sat down, well before our 6:30 reservation. We ordered a Beefeater gin and tonic and a very dry Beefeater martini. Both drinks had an unusual, perfume-like scent that was quite off-putting. My wife sent her drink back, and I decided to switch to a Bombay martini, but the same strange floral fragrance persisted. I regularly enjoy Beefeater and Bombay dry martinis and have never experienced this odd aftertaste before. For my main course, the Duck and Porcini confit ragu had hardly any duck in it. There were only a few shreds of duck meat hidden in the tagliatelle, but no substantial pieces. My wife’s Pesto and Shrimp dish arrived swimming in a broth. While this might be a traditional way to serve it, there was no mention of broth on the menu. She had expected the pesto to be coated on the pasta and oily, rather than soupy. As much as we have loved Capriccio over the past three decades, this experience was disappointing. We didn't even stay for dessert. We'll certainly return, but I hope to avoid writing another negative review. I usually don’t share my thoughts unless absolutely necessary, but I felt compelled to do so this time."
