Editorial reviews from the web (1)

In the Old Edwards Inn, Madison's is Highlands' most upscale restaurant. The dining room is gorgeous, light, and sunny, with windows overlooking Highland's Main Street. The restaurant adheres to a farm-to-table philosophy as much as possible. Try the pecan-crusted quail schnitzel with poached quail eggs, or seared mountain trout with local potatoes. The peach crisp and other desserts are good,...

My husband and I had a date for lunch at Madison's yesterday and it was a great date! We were greeted warmly by the hostess and staff. Chef Tim Vos came out to say hello as we know him from way back. They sat us at a cozy table for two. We started with the mussels special which was over the top good and may have been the best mussels we have ever eaten. The mussels were very flavorful with a...

Madison's is an elegant dining experience, and it never fails to please. There is always a sommelier to assist with wine questions----something that indicates an establishment with fine dining. Their emphasis is often on local, fresh ingredients, and they easily acommodate special dietary requests. I highly recommend Madison's !

The place, food, service are all outstanding but we felt "punished" for using Open Table...only ones there, then only a few others arrived before we left. Had no later options when we made reservations 2weeks out. I will skip the OT site in the future when this appears to be the situation.

We had a wonderful dinner at Madison's on the first night of our stay at Old Edwards Inn. The atmosphere is very upscale but not stuffy. The service was excellent...friendly, informative, checked on us alot but not too much. The food was delicious as well...all in all, a great dining experience! Highly recommend, especially if you are staying at the inn.

Madison's represents the "gem" of the mountains in Highlands, NC. Overall, it is a good value when one considers the quality of food, service, and ambience. Reservations are important and valued by the staff and they will acknowledge you by name. Food service is not rushed because management wants you to take in an enjoy the environment and your guests.

Very enjoyable evening with excellent cuisine although not quite 5 star, and pricey. Nice touch to allow us to bring in a special bottle wine--$30 corkage fee is fine/typical. Good cocktails. Only mild annoyance was tried to seat 4 of us along hall where moderate foot traffic. After some persistence and wait - not busy at 6 pm. - then seated at wonderful table with a view. Nice young waiter was...

Always a nice time at Madison's. The food, wine and service were very good. My husband had the bolognese and I had the guinea hen which were both delicious. It is good value for an excellent meal with a reasonable wine. It is a little cold in the dining room, so wear socks and bring a sweater.

Madison's will not disappoint, menu, service and food are all second to none. Starting with drinks from the bar through dessert it all was exceptional. My wife had pork loin off the menu and I had halibut from the specials. Whether you're staying at The Old Edward's Inn or just visiting Highlands for the day, don't miss Madison's.
