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.

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.

The food is very good, but not especially not worthy with all the Michelin star restaurants around. I believe prices are fair. The real value her is the exceptional atmosphere without having to pay a premium for it. It's easy to get a reservation too, which is a huge plus.
The dessert courses and dessert wines are a major highlight. You might think $26 for a glass is expensive until you realize that this wine is $200/ 750ml bottle. It was an exquisite wine. We got a full 4oz pour, so this is cheaper than we would pay had we bought it retail.
Absolutely worth it.

I never been. Too fancy when I drove by. People seemed like they were better than my family although I am sure I could fit in well
This place has a beautiful setting and the service is great 👍. The yellow tail tastes about average and the crab roll is not as good as the lobster roll I have had before. The place has a loud background noise.

Easy online reservation, inviting environment, and exceptional service. Scallop and the winter Salad are good. Meatballs are a bit tough. Came back for a brunch. Loved the crab cake Benedicts and crab roll.

We dropped in for a quick business meeting and sat outside. The service was impeccable. We had a few lite bites and drinks. I'll definitely be back.

Absolutely wonderful. The food and the service are world class. I highly recommend the Lemon or Orange room for private events and suggest working with Dawn. The breakfast is also delightful if you have the chance to meet Megan, she really took care of us!
