★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jeanie DeVincenzo · Jun 2018

We recently enjoyed dinner at Prospect Tavern in Madison, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was good, though the appetizer of potato skins was a bit of a letdown — slightly overcooked and not as flavorful as I had hoped. That said, the rest of the meal made up for it. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from start to finish. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a beautiful summer evening. I’d definitely return to try more of their menu

I've always passed this place when in the area, and I finally had some time to go inside and enjoy an early dinner with my wife. It's a nice pub inside, nothing fancy but it was comfortable and relaxing. We were there during off hours, so it wasn't crowded. I had the chicken cordon bleu, fried dumpling, and my wife had the salmon dish. Everything was top-notch, and we left happy knowing this place is an option.

★★★★★ 5.0 Davey Anthony · Oct 2014

Don't listen to the one star reviews. This place is very warm and great for conversing. It's not so loud like the other bars around the area. The food is amazing and happy hour prices are great and affordable (you are in a bar after all where drinks are always expensive, but it is very affordable during happy hour). The bartenders are great people and always attend you when you need them. The food is just great! The family are amazing people. No disrespect is tolerated in this location so if you are planning to get drunk and be reckless, well, good luck. It is a great place to eat outside. I have been on a few dates here and always have had a good time. This is a place where you never feel pressure to order right away as some other bars do to customers. This is a peaceful bar/restaurant wi

This place is great! There were a lot of people there (it was a Friday night) but you do not feel cramped at all. Service was great. There is a large selection of drinks. The food was very delicious I ordered French onion soup, it was good not too salty! For dinner I ordered a strawberry brie salad. It was absolutely delicious, great portion size for only 12 dollars! I would recommend going with friends, not ideal for a date :)
