Liked everything about the meal. The service was excellent, the atmosphere laid back for being upscale and the food was top notch. I had the lasagna and it was stuffed with meat and cheese. My party had the steak and another the meatball pasta dish and they loved both.

Service was phenomenal but the flavor of the rice and lamb was bland. Salmon, sampler platter and mashed were delicious.

If you ever find yourself in Madera, do yourself a favor and stop by The Vineyard Restaurant & Bar. The food here is made with quality, mostly local ingredients — and you can taste the difference.
I tried the lamb shank and WOW… fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Easily one of the best I’ve had. Meat lovers: don’t skip this dish.
The restaurant has cozy, welcoming vibes and the staff was friendly and attentive. It’s the kind of place that feels both homey and elevated at the same time.
✅ Fresh, flavorful dishes ✅ Locally sourced ingredients ✅ Great service and atmosphere ✅ Worth the stop — and the return trip
10/10 — would absolutely go back.

I ordered a wedge salad with a sirloin steak on the side. Wish the wedge was a little bigger but over all dressing was good blue cheese was amazing The server was a sweet heart she attended us with respect and attentive to our table.

We had a lovely dinner here during our short time in Madera. We could see why this was #1! The service was great, food was delicious, and it was reasonably priced. Our wedge salad, prime rib dip, and pumpkin ravioli were all excellent. It’s also an easy to find location right off the freeway.

First time trying this famous local gem! We got the sampler platter, clam chowder, shrimp scampi, and Rigatoni a la Norma (eggplant)! We loved everything! Very elegant atmosphere with live musician. We loved our knowledgeable and accommodating server. We plan on requesting him in the near future if possible. We had a wonderful evening!

I recently had a 50th anniversary party in the Banquet Room, and I was very happy with how it all turned out. I reserved my date several months in advance and from several states away, never having been to the restaurant before. But the information online combined with other guest reviews really helped. The restaurant was very responsive to my inquiries and messages. Everything was clear and well communicated regarding the requirements for reserving the Banquet Room.
The room itself is cozy with beautiful vaulted ceilings and tasteful art on the walls. It can accommodate 40 seated for dinner, which is close quarters but not uncomfortable. We were all close family and friends, so we didn't mind being close. The restaurant provided table linens and all plates, glasses, and silverware. They allowed us to come in a couple hours early to do some additional decorating, which we really appreciated!
We chose the family-style Italian dinner, and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious, and they were ready with more plates of food if we were even close to finishing one up. The bar drinks were very well made and good quality. The staff was attentive and accommodating and ready to help with anything. They were friendly and patient with our group. I really can't praise them enough.
They even allowed us to play our own dinner music and some dancing music, provided we didn't disrupt the other guests, which we really appreciated!
Over all, I would highly recommend The Vineyard for your next event. (The outdoor group event space looks lovely as well, though probably better suited for cooler weather months!)

Solo traveler getting dinner. Nice stop. Food was fresh and well seasoned. Had the salmon featured item. It was cooked perfectly and accompanied the white bean salad nicely. Also indulged in the creme brulee, very tasty! The mixed drink was a little light on the pour, but had nice flavor overall.
Wait staff was very attentive and did a great job.
