Wow! The setting is always so beautiful, even in the wintertime. The food was delicious and the portion size superb. I had the Citrus Salmon - my favorite, which was cooked perfectly! Our server and hostess did everything possible to make our experience welcoming and to our specifications. This restaurant never disappoints!

What great service and food. Thanks so much for accommodating us today. Food came out in a timely manner and tasted very good and it was hot. We were impressed. Will definitely visit more often. Our group was about 22 strong. Thanks from Bikers of Erie Harley Davidson.

Upon arrival at the restaurant we were promptly seated (under a drafty window).The atmosphere was elegant and pleasing to the eye. Shortly after arrival, the waitress came over. We were using a Fine Dining card, and per usual, we inquired about ordering restrictions with the card. In an almost aggressive tone, we were told it couldn't be used with specials, entrées only, which was to be expected as its the norm while using the card. It was the manner in which she said it, that was anything but friendly. She did not introduce herself, but did ask what we wanted to drink. After about 10 minutes, she arrived with our drinks and took our orders.
I ordered the 10 ounce ribeye, medium rare, topped with mushrooms, onions & shrimp, mashed potatoes and gravy, and coleslaw. My companion would have the steak gorgonzola with mushrooms. It was about a 20 minute wait for the food, which is acceptable. When the food arrived I was disappointed in the mashed potatoes, which were brown almost gray in color, with not much gravy on top. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and tasted delicious, despite being a bit tough due to a lot of gristle. The shrimp was extra yummy, the onions perfect, and at first I thought the mushrooms had been forgotten, but they weren't..they were 'mushroom pieces' mixed in with the onions, not what I had anticipated. Disappointing.
My companion was pleased with the taste of the steak gorgonzola. The steak and linguine noodles were scrumptious, but again the mushrooms were slivers of mushroom pieces, almost non existent, and something seemed to be missing.
When the entrées were served, our waitress did ask if we needed anything else, and then disappeared. My companions glass was empty for at least 10 minutes, after I emptied my drink, she came out with a diet Coke and practically slammed it down on the table in front of him, and then said to me "Do you want another drink too?" Her mannerisms left a lot to be desired as to what i expect of a server, but she went and got me a drink. When she returned she said she was sorry when she peaked out the kitchen door, she didn't see that we both needed refills.
My companion was perplexed that his meal didn't come with some type of bread. After checking the menu online, he confirmed it indeed, was to be served with a garlic bread stick.
Upon questioning the waitress, she immediately pointed blame at the kitchen staff. He matter-of-factly pointed out that it's her job to make sure the orders are correct. At this point she gave a unconvincing apology and offered desert on her. Not the restaurant, but said she would personally pay for it. She also stated she knew this would effect her tip. Nobody mentioned anything about her tip, so this was odd. Almost like she was trying to use reverse psychology. When we turned down her desert, she then offered to get us her manager. Reverse psychology again? We weren't asking for a manager. She also, explained that there was a wedding reception and she had to make ranch dressing, which was why she wasn't very attentive.
My companion did mention that I like writing reviews. She turned to me and said "Well, in that case, my name is Carrie, you can mention me by name in your review." She then took payment from my companion and left to process it. Upon returning, she again offered us desert. We declined. She then suggested a cheesecake to take home, on her. Again, we declined.
Good food, with the exception of mushrooms of poor quality, and the non existent garlic breadstick.
She did get a 15% tip, maybe that reverse psychology worked. Service and friendliness was well below par, and we will not be returning.

Looked good, food smelled good, but we got turned away because it was all reserved for the night. It would've been nice to put "Reserved for the Night" on the humongous sign out front.

This evening my husband and I stopped to have dinner at Madeline’s with our two young sons. Our waitress was so kind and really went out of her way to talk with the boys. On the way out, an employee gave my husband two cups of fish food to feed the fish in the pond. Great meal experience and kind staff!
