text: On a recent trip to Montreal after eating mostly asian for four days my gf and I were both craving steak for our final dinner in the city Having scoped out most of the steak joints in the downtown area we decided on Madisons mostly based on the menu It definitely seemed like the type of steakhouse I know and love Was not disappointed at all in fact pleasantly surprised nnBased on reviews I was somewhat put off by the mention of good for groups and good for kids but all was well in this regard We arrived early on a sunday evening to a less than half full restaurant and were seated at a nice booth by a window Our waiter was excellent polite and attentive Nice menu with plenty of selections in all categories including a reasonably priced wine list My sirloin steak was done to a perfect medwell crab cake appetizer was very good also Enjoyed the meal so much stayed for dessert and coffeennMy only gripe would be the clam chowder which was thoroughly tasteless All in all it would be a place to which I would definitely return on future trips to Montreal
