   The food was great, but there were a number of issues with our service. I’m sure the staff were busy, but we waited a long time once seated to be waited on. We then had 2 or 3 different servers who got our orders mixed up (thought we had a garlic allergy, offered us the wrong food on more than one occasion). We ordered a bottle of nice red wine, and the waitress mistakenly added it to my 1/2 full glass of white wine, and didn’t appear to know what to do to rectify the mistake. She sort of suggested maybe I would still be interested in drinking it, then took the glass away and poured me another glass from the bottle. We had to suggest that she also replace the glass she poured, and she needed to speak to someone about that (but gave us the glass in the end, so I was only out the 1/2 glass of white wine). The biggest issue, though, was that we were seated in front of a tall glass cabinet filled with wine bottles, and with a number of heavy champagne bottles on top. People kept trying to squeeze through the very narrow space between our chairs and the cabinet to get to the washroom, which set the cabinet doors rattling, and the whole cabinet to shaking, and it was very dangerous. We would recommend they find a way to discourage that behaviour because it is a bad accident waiting to happen.

   Thought it was expensive for the amount of food. Wine by the glass list uninspiring.

   Everything about the experience at Madrina was amazing. We elected to go for tapas. Every plate was a visual and oral delight. The service too was excellent and the complimentary sherry with dessert was unexpected but appreciated. A well deserved Michelin star restaurant. Can’t wait to go back.
