Large portion tapas, broccolini was incredible! Definitely plan to share plates with friends, bartender Trace recommended their sister spot the moon room which was also fun. Had lots of mocktail options for dry jan

Really impressed! The service, food, and overall atmosphere were amazing. The staff were so friendly. Our favorites were probably the hanger steak and the croquetas. My wife needs to eat gluten free for celiacs and they were very accommodating. Lots of GF options. We will definitely be back!

Went with some friends and had a great time.Beautiful place to go. Loved the ambience, crowd, service. The onky thing was that it was too noisy. Couldn't hear ourselves on the table.
The single worst espresso martini I've ever had. Asked for it to be frothy. But it was cold coffee in a glass. Cost $20 and regret walking in. Took 2 sips, paid, and walked out.

My friend and I sat at the bar and got their tapas, they were so good. The service was immaculate, they were so tentative. One of our large tapas was taking too long and the staff was on it and super amazing about it. Their drinks were also so delicious and creative! Highly recommend anyone in the area dining there.

Madre is an absolute gem in downtown Raleigh. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and energetic without feeling overwhelming — perfect for date night or a fun evening out with friends. The Spanish and Mediterranean–inspired small plates are thoughtfully crafted and ideal for sharing, making the menu exciting from start to finish. Standout dishes included the fresh seafood options and beautifully seasoned vegetables, each packed with bold, well-balanced flavors. The cocktails are creative and well-executed, and the wine selection pairs perfectly with the food. On top of that, the service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, which really elevated the overall experience. Madre is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!

I went for my birthday dinner and the vibes were immaculate. It’s such a cute ambiance, the food is delicious, and the service was exceptional. I will definitely be back for just a girls night or even a date night. It’s too cute!
Madre is fantastic. I truly cannot describe the sentiments I feel when dining at this establishment. The tapas, combined with such accommodating service and exquisite cocktails, make for an unforgettable evening. Dine at Madre whenever you have the chance.

Enjoyed the food and atmosphere here. Especially liked that it was quiet enough to enjoy a conversation with company. Our server, Bri, did a fantastic job taking care of us.

My partner and I went to celebrate our anniversary here. They made us feel special & like we made the right choice about where to celebrate.
We had good service, enjoyed the food and drinks, and didn’t feel rushed. We’d recommend Madre for anyone looking to make a celebration feel a touch more special.
