Best Historic Restaurants in Madison South

1/8/2025 - At my age, 77, I have lost my appetite for restaurants and prefer my cooking. The Chart House is an exception to my preference as the restaurant is excellent, like 10 out of 10 on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being best, as to quality of food, presentation of the dish, taste and service. Nothing more need be said.

Fried oysters were great but the popcorn crawfish was pretty well all breading and no crawfish. Crab leg tortellini was excellent as was the NZ Waipahu Sauvignon Blanc

Live in the neighborhood and used to go to Lucca often. For some reason stopped going but returned last week and was so happy to see Lucca had actually improved. Great menu Great service Great value. Great vibe. Will be back.

Elegant, lovely dining experience upstairs, overlooking the ground floor guests. The delectables were beautifully displayed and yummy. The tea selection and service were good. It was a memorable, fun moment spent with my daughter. Great way to end a year and start the new!

Jake's has a very comfortable, familial feel to it. I always feel quite at home there compared to many other restaurants. We had Christmas lunch there and one of my dining companions said the roast chicken was the best he'd ever tasted. The butterscotch pudding for dessert is so creamy and has just a hint of burned sugar to it which is a nice element. Coffee is very good.
