Madison's Cafe

Madison's opened its doors in April of 1982 at 216 Madison Street in Jefferson City, Missouri, after extensively remodeling "The State House and Senate Lounge" restaurant (formerly Adcock's Café).

Featuring authentic and original Italian, American and eclectic cuisine with global influences, Madison's was a new and welcome addition to the capital city's eateries. In the spring of 1983, it was apparent expansion of space of the restaurant was needed. The neighboring restaurant, "The Brass Rail" was purchased and remodeled, increasing the size of Madison's Café to 7200 square feet with seating for approximately 200, lounge seating for 40.
In addition, we offer two exceptionally appointed private dining rooms accommodating small groups and up to 120 for any special occasion, meeting or celebration.

Over the course of these many years we have continually updated the aesthetics of the restaurant's interior, reflecting the blend of the past and present with a mixture of warm woods, rich colors and various antiques throughout.
An outdoor patio area was completed in the fall of 2002, and is now a lively area for al fresco dining. Façade improvements to our buildings was completed in 2014-2015.

Madison's environment is unique and inviting - a gathering place for family and friends, or perfect for that romantic dinner.

Our menu - featuring hand-cut steaks, seafood, pasta, appetizers, sandwiches, salads, desserts and more - is continually updated reflecting current culinary trends and our 34 year relationship with local growers and farmers providing us with local seasonally available products from farm, garden to table to you.
