2013, In her travel blog, Adventures Among Us, Becky Davenport, Travel Writer, highlighted her summer visit to Jefferson City and Madison's: "Last month my gal pal Jessie and I visited our Missouri State Capital, Jefferson City, MO and on our trip we had the pleasure of dining out at Madison's Café. … Their Calamari....seriously, this stuff was like a little piece of heaven melting in your mouth; …..Mad Crab Stack … Talk about too pretty to eat, I never would have thought anything with artichoke hearts could be so pretty, well this was....and even better it was so yummy I think I could have just ordered this for lunch and been just fine. …Now for me, no matter how yummy the food is, how cute the restaurant looks, the thing I judge the most when dining out is my service....Madison's did not let me down either. Madison's is located just blocks from The Capitol Building, so it is obvious that there are far more important people than I dining at this place. However, I felt like I was my waiter's only customer (even though I saw him waiting on others). He remembered what I was drinking, even remembered that I was allergic to shrimp, and he always had a smile on his face. If I was to return to Madison's (and I am sure I will someday) I would not hesitate to have a gal pal lunch date, dine out with my kids (age 5 & 9) or even have a late evening romantic dinner....the place is just that diversified!"
