Madonna Inn is not prepared for Christmas Day service. 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.

As always it was crowded with families celebrating Christmas. It seemed like a good time was had by all. Our little core group…..the fabulous four…..have been doing Christmas dinner at the Madonna Inn for 30ish years, even doing drive by take out during the pandemic. and hope the tradition will continue..

What a treat on Christmas Day! So festive, buzzing with activity. The menu is quite large. Our food was great and served -very- quickly. I loved being able to have breakfast in the mid-afternoon. We may make this a Christmas tradition. The staff were all so happy and helpful.

Our server was wonderful , kind and great . The Copper Cafe was very very busy and very noisy . 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.

Wonderful Christmas lunch, with all the Madonna old school vibe. 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.

Hostess dropped the ball and never checked us in for our reservation unfortunately had to wait in the cold with my elderly parents for 20 minutes until we inquired again. Food and service after that were great. The Monte Cristo chef's kiss.

Excellent Christmas Eve dinner and exceptional service. 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.
