Met a very good friend for lunch. She goes regularly for the baked salmon, mashed potatoes, green salad and to sit near the fire. I ordered a mushroom friand and a Linzercookie. Parfâit!

Every holiday we try to visit La Madeline. Our memory of the nice French coffee and the pastries is a good memory.
My review should not discourage you to visit. Through this review I hope to get their operations back to what every guest expect.
We visited on a Saturday afternoon at around 2.48. The entrance door was so hard to open that for a moment we thought the restaurant had closed. We confirmed on Google Maps that it was indeed open and pulled the door hard.
A very friendly staffer took the order. They were short of ceramic coffee cups and gave us paper cups.
When we went to fill our coffee, the coffee dispensers were empty. I mentioned this to the person at the counter. We waited till 3.10 and since the coffee wasn't filled yet. I went 3 to 4 times to the employees to ask about the coffee until one lady took the responsibility. She also gave me normal sugar since the containers were empty. Usually La Madeline gives you bread and jam and these trays were empty.
The coffee was great when I finally was able to taste it.
Great restaurants are run like clock work especially for simple things like coffee. We will be back probably but my family was disappointed this trip.

I always enjoy going to La Madeleine locations, so I was excited to find this one. The food and atmosphere are wonderful, and this location was no different.
Unfortunately the service we experienced was not acceptable. I waited in line at the register for 10+ minutes with only one party of 2 ahead of me. The woman working seemed distracted by all manner of different things, and frequently left the counter to do these things in the middle of waiting on the people in front of me. When I got to the counter, I asked for a slice of cake. She replied that they didn't have it, to which I responded that it was right there in front of us. Then she told me that I'd have to wait for it as they were busy. I mentioned that I'd already been waiting long enough, and asked her to please slice the cake. She refused and told me sternly that I'd have to wait. Normally I'd be understanding in a situation like this, but given the a) long wait and b) her inattention and attitude, I believe I was justified in asking for this.
In no way did them being 'busy' seem to have any effect on her sense of urgency or customer service skills. She seemed utterly unbothered by her inability to efficiently handle customers. I left feedback on their website and asked to be contacted, but never was. I will not be returning to this La Madeleine location and am disappointed in their poor service.

Stopped at this place for brunch. I always love the interiors, resembling a French countryside farmhouse. We sat near the warm fireplace. The female busser was very helpful. Food was delicious!

Very unimpressed, food was good, but the service was bad and the restaurant itself was in questionable at best condition concerning cleaning.

This place have great food! Even though once there was a fly on a cake on display. The customer service is horrible! I’m not sure why they don’t change staff but that’s the only reason why I don’t like going there anymore.
