Crab-tastic

You might think it is hard to find a great crab cake, but The Madison does it right. Their delicious appetizer crab cake demonstrates a delicate balance — a wellseasoned mess of stringy crab encased by a crispy fried crust. Sitting in a shallow pool of layered ginger dressing, the succulent meat soaks up the heat, enhancing the sweetness of the crab. The small plate is garnished with crunchy green onions, brightening the dish with freshness. A tiny heap of micro greens resting on top of the crab cake introduces an earthy green moment adding to the complex mix of sweet, salty, and spice. ••
