    It was my second time dining at MAD and I was not disappointed. The food, drinks and service blows me away. The birthday girls enjoyed and had a good time. 10/10 all the way.

    Es un español versión EU. Faltaban muchas opciones de bebidas de la carta y tuve que optar dos veces por alguna otra. El servicio súper bueno, pero las mesas con muy poco espacio, el lugar vacío y las hostes colocaban a las personas en el mismo sitio super juntos.

    It was a Sunday night and it was pretty slow. I would have thought this would mean we would get great service but it was the opposite. It was very slow, took over 20 mins to get drinks, once we ordered our main course it took well over 30 mins to get our order. The appetizers and desert were really good but the main courses were not worth the money. I’ve been there several times before and had great experiences. It was disappointing, no one in my staff had been there before and would have loved for them to have had a better experience.
