amazing atmosphere, beautiful ambience. Amazing drinks. Food was delicious but pricey. The waitress forgot many of our very simple requests like asking for an additional plate or taking our picture. For a place that is so expensive she should be able to follow through with simple tasks.

Nice restaurant. We went for the Thanksgiving Day dinner. They were out of turkey, which was what we both wanted to order. The other 3 options available were good., so we had beef and salmon. Would like to try this restaurant for their regular menu sometime.

Our party of 4 had afternoon tea on 9/1/24 and it was our first time at Madeline. Everything was wonderful! The main dining room was elegant. The harpist was very talented and played beautifully. All of us really enjoyed our teas (lavender black & lychee oolong). We ordered the European and Madeline high tea. There was plenty of food and we all left very full. The French onion soup and salad were really good. And the scones - omg! The scones were so delicious and some of the best that we’ve ever had. Service was great and attentive. 10/10 experience! We will be coming back.
