Food was great but the server seemed too busy to listen to my requests. Forgot one of our orders, and served my a super sweet cocktail (I asked specifically for no sugar) which made me feel ill and not able to enjoy the food. I Food was great! Gorgeous place. I’ll def try it again but would choose to sit at the bar rather than be served by the same person. m his defense, he was the only server and it was busy. Mgmt fault.

Granted it was a Monday night, so not as busy as other times, so it was quiet, which we enjoyed. Loved the large round table for our group of 6. Food was delicious from start to finish and service was excellent.

Madonna Inn is always a treat to visit. The pink and red leather booths and pink napkins. Service was great. Food was wonderful. Big portions and fresh. We didn't stay for dessert. Their cakes are phenomenal. We will come again.
