American restaurant The Madison Noho is now open in West Tampa

A new restaurant dishing out classic American entrees and loaded brunch plates quietly opened its doors in West Tampa a few weeks ago.

Located at ​​1704 N Howard Ave. at the former Burnz Restaurant Bar & Grill building, The Madison Noho made its debut last month and has been in its soft opening phase since.

Owned and operated by Tampa residents Tayesha Hiner, Antonio “Polo” Allen—who also leads the kitchen as its Executive Chef—and Mikeo Smith, The Madison Noho offers a variety of straightforward dinner plates, from grilled salmon to apple-glazed pork chops, plus appetizers like calamari, chicken wings, crab cakes and oysters.

On the weekend, the newly-opened eatery dishes out red velvet pancakes, eggs Benedict, lobster and waffles and Creole-style shrimp and grits at its popular brunch service. Beer, wine, and craft cocktails are on the menu, too.

Smith, who owned a restaurant in Philadelphia before moving to Tampa Bay a few years ago, tells Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that The Madison Soho will soon take over the rest of the building and expand its dining room, as well as its operating hours.

He also says that The Madison Soho will host a grand opening celebration sometime next month.

Burnz Restaurant Bar & Grill seemed to have closed its West Tampa restaurant in late 2023, with another concept called Whiskey & Rhythm replacing it earlier this year, despite closing a few months later.  Smith tells CL that he and his partners acquired the restaurant space in May.
