Martin has created a Gem on Capitol Hill! Having been there several times before for drinks and appetizers with friends, I took a date to Martins Off Madison on Friday (over the Memorial weekend) and had a great night out. This restaurant has everything from the live Grand Piano (played beautifully by pianist Joseph Rojo); the Cyclone fireplace; the reflection pool alongside the dining room wall; to the candles all around the restaurant creating a lovely atmosphere. I started with the Grilled Romaine Salad and had the Beef Tenderloin entree, while my date stated with the Panzanella Salad and had the Jumbo Prawn Linguine entree. All were prepared to perfection. The service was attentive and relaxed. The ambience and food is just a must!!! I look forward to another wonderful experience. 10/10!
Pros: Great food & happy hour, live music nightly, very friendly staff
Cons: Parking on the street can be a challenge.
