Lovely Atmosphere, Cozy Lighting accentuated by dark wood paneling and tan leather seating creates a gorgeous ambiance with Mountain Views. It was a Magnificent setting for a romantic rendezvous and she loved the creative cocktails complimented by attentive and unhurried service at the bar. A Fabulous Holiday Jazz soundtrack made the whole experience over the top while sitting by the crackling fireplace. One of my favorite places. Cheers.

I had an excellent time at Madera. The restaurant delivers a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere, with dishes that are beautifully presented and full of rich, balanced flavors. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and every detail—from the bread to the entrées—feels thoughtfully crafted. A perfect spot for a special night out.

Been here a ton for work and it actually surprises me to the upside more than not. Prices are fine for a Michelin star restaurant, service is excellent (albeit a bit slow, may be good to order quickly if you’re in a rush).

We had a wonderful experience at Madera Restaurant. We went for dinner. The atmosphere was romantic and elegant — perfect for a special evening. The service was attentive and truly excellent from start to finish.
Every dish was delicious and cooked to perfection, and the cheesecake was absolutely heavenly, served with dried fruit. We also loved the thoughtful touch of writing “Happy Anniversary” on our dessert plate and surprising us with a Polaroid photo to take home.
Overall, Madera is definitely a great place for a special occasion. Highly recommended!

Madara Restaurant is such a great spot! The views are absolutely beautiful and make the whole experience even better. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The food was delicious—every dish felt fresh and well-prepared. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for a treat and a memorable meal.

The food is consistently excellent. Their dry aged ribeye is my favorite. It has a great view of the mountains. I hope they enforce dress code better. I’m not a stickler, but last night I was there, a guy near my table was wearing a tank top and gym workout shorts, lol

It’s a beautiful setting and amazingly helpful staff, but the food and price of the food does not match. All of our courses (appetizer to dessert) were over salted, over done and over whelming in competing flavors, not in a good way.
wonderful food, great service, and a beautiful view

The latest experience at Madera Friday night left us really surprised! We had a patio seating Friday night for three couples. After initial order, we added crab cake sandwich but an hour went by but the sandwich did not arrive despite trying to get attention of the server. When we finally talked to the manager asking to cancel our delayed order, he showed no regret at what had happened. We had to wait again to get attention of the server to get dessert menu and order the server. Food here is usually ordinary except the burger but ambiance and service usually compensate for ordinary food but even that no longer seems true. Fortunately, there are other good spots to patronize next time,

For the $108 price each, I’d say the experience was just OK overall. It felt like most of what we were paying for was the ambience. We got the first sandwich plate, then had to wait nearly an hour for the second afternoon tea tray - and only got it after asking when it’s gonna be ready. I was expecting something a bit more special from the Dandelion collaboration, but aside from a chocolate canelé and a marshmallow dessert, that was pretty much it.
