What a wonderful evening we just had. We ate here 3 years ago on our last trip up here, I understand it’s seems to of changed owners but it most definitely has kept its great reputation. We dined here years ago from a recommendation from a former local, I will be happy to report back to them how wonderful it was again.

It’s so very cosy still, beautiful ambience and such lovely staff. Our server was so lovely and pleasant.

I had the steak and it was beautiful, the potatoes (I’m Irish so I know my potatoes) were also beautiful. So very tasty! My partner had the pork special and they said it was delicious, we also had the sprouts special, big fans.

We will definitely be back and wish the new owners all the luck 🍀 10/10

This fine dinning experience was just only good as my expectation was high since this restaurant has never disappointed us in the past! The appetizer was great but very small. The salad was also delicious .The Pasta Carbonara was over seasoned and pasta wasn’t quite cooked enough. The Short Ribs Ossobuco was also over seasoned. The Saffron Risotto was good. The ribs were very tender.
The Lemon Curd Mousse Cake was excellent. So for the price of the meal I would think the food would be on point.

This is by far the best Dining experience in Dunsmuir. The Cafe is long regarded as a great dinner or date night option and they have reopened strong! The short ribs were fantastic and the halibut was as fresh as it comes. Really happy to see these folks serving great food in a fun atmosphere.

This place use to be great when it was owned by the original owner and chef about a year ago. Since being taken over by an out-of-towner, it has extremely went down in quality of food, inventiveness of the menu, and they are never open. As of this last week a sign hangs on the window (again)-- 'closed for maintenance' yet there is no maintenance being done.Really very sad as this was one of the true gems in Dunsmuir.

We stumbled onto this fabulous restaurant! I was craving a Caesar salad, and this place was open. It’s a cozy upscale restaurant is a cute little town. I highly recommend it!

Delicious food, very good service. We had the pork belly and a New york steak, both were very juicy and the pork was crunchy on the outside. Will surely come here again when visiting the area.

They debited $124 instead of $110. Not a big deal, but worth writing a review.

Café Maddalena offered one of my favorite food experiences in North America. Everything tasted so delicate, and the portions were plentiful. Add to that the staff's friendliness, and you can't go wrong. The atmosphere is also perfect: the music is at the perfect volume where it fades into the background, and you are surrounded with people enjoying their dinner.

Why hasn't this place received a Michelin star — we dined here in July for dinner and were lucky enough to call last minute and get a table. Everything that came on the table was nothing short of excellent. The chef and the team here are doing a great job and we're grateful to them for our experience.

My family and I went there with much anticipation and left fairly disappointed. The food was good but not great. The service was horrible. It took about 1 hour after ordering to get our salads. We felt our presence was an annoyance. The waitress was unfriendly and not attentive. I will not go back. There are other places to eat.

Tremendous spot!! Wonderful waitress, excellent meal. We had several of the starters (corn fritters, tomato tart with garlic aioli, stuffed peppers) plus our entrees. Entree portions may have been a bit small, but very delicious and that would not prevent me from returning!! The veggie entree was a highlight: chimichurri rice, roasted cabbage and grilled mushrooms.
