They were very backed up, both in front and back of house. When I called a week prior, the manager assured me we could order from the steakhouse menu in the café. Our server last night informed us that that wasn’t possible. So, my folks decided to order the duck plate off a special holiday menu for $49/plate. The duck was dry and insufficiently seasoned. The rest of us thought our meals were just fine. Nothing special, but at least we didn’t have to cook on Christmas! Madonna Inn is more a novelty act than a dining experience. Proceed accordingly and you’ll have a fine time.

Very packed for Christmas Day . The turkey on bread with gravy and mashed potatoes was delicious though . Would not recommend for Christmas Day as it is just too packed and the parking lot is over flowing by 12. 30 midday . A note : please Copper Cafe do not place your glasses ‘ lip side down ‘ down on the tables when you set them . This is very unhygienic.

Hadn’t been here since I worked as a maid here in the 70’s. Looking forward to having our slice of vanilla raspberry white chocolate cake tonight with leftovers from lunch.

Food and service after that were great. The Monte Cristo chef's kiss.

We enjoyed our dinner and drinks and even indulged in a piece of the lemon coconut cake. Everything was delicious. We actually went back this morning for breakfast and had waffles and bacon and eggs with the homemade biscuit and again everything was yummy and delicious. Highly recommend visiting the Copper Cafe for Christmas or anytime of the year.

The servers were quick and fast considering how busy the cafe was. The food was served quickly and was delicious! This is our second year eating at the cafe for Christmas Eve and we’ll make it a tradition going forward.
