The Madison, Great For Any Holiday
By Yvonne Mason

The Madison, Long Beach, is synonymous with elegance, from the Italian Renaissance palace like ceiling, to the crystal chandeliers, it’s the most beautiful restaurant in southern California. Ask to sit in one of the huge brocaded fan shaped booths set against the wall, you’ll feel like royalty. Unfurl your napkin and enjoy.

Chef Rey Tovar prepared a lovely dinner typical of The Madison: Lobster & prawn handmade three inch raviolis, with a lobster bisque; Baby arugula & duck confit salad tossed in a lemon vinaigrette with strawberries, goat cheese, garnished with candied walnuts; The entrée Lamb Wellington was served with herb roasted Yukon Gold fingerling potatoes with turned vegetables and a mint lamb reduction sauce;

Madison chocolate cake is an incredible flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce and Crème Anglaise.

The Madison has a full menu of delights.

The Madison is located at: 102 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, 562-628-8866
