Cebars Madison Tavern — Restaurant in Saybrook

We came here for the first time and it was almost empty! We drove by all the time and they are always packed on the weekends. So we thought we would give it a try and see what it's all about. To our surprise on a Thursday night the place was empty! We got seated right away. Drinks ordered right away from a very friendly lady. She took the time to make sure we knew the specials and took our order. We had a little hiccup as we ordered an appetizer but it was forgotten. But we are glad it was! The food was delicious! We were stuffed. The burger i had was cooked well and the fries absolutely great! My wife had the open faced prime rib and she was loving it! Definitely recommend heading here and grabbing some food.

This place was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. When we got there the dining room was completely empty and I said we should leave and go to Joey's but my wife said let's try it. BIG MISTAKE, HUGE! I ordered burnt ends that were supposedly made from prime rib... not. They were low quality stew meat with waaaaaay too much seasoning and salt.

Stay away from this place. The sign said New Chef. Man, I can't imagine how bad the old chef was if this was an improvement. You've...

We both asked for a lemon drop Martini and the bartender replied "i dont know how to make that this is more of a shots and beer place. I kindly explained its vodka with freshly squeezed lemon and sugar shaken up then poured in a Martini glass. The bartender then walked away. I waited another 5 minutes until 7:15 PM and still didnt receive my drinks nor did the bartender start making them. I left and here i am typing this 1 star review. Just bought a house up the street here in Madison and ill never return to this place and suggest you dont either. I was pretty excited to see a pool table. Pretty deflated by such...
