    Cool place and drinks were good but the steak was terrible it was straight rubber. I got my steak medium rare as well, the baked potato was good just way too much butter. My girlfriend’s pasta was really good however.

    We had an exceptional experience. We stayed at the Madonna Inn for the weekend in celebration of our 4 year wedding anniversary and babymoon. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Wait staff was very attentive and informative. Food was exceptional. Kaila was our waitress and she was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back again in the future!

    The food was very good if a little low on seasoning. The menu has a good variety of choices at comparable prices to other same tier restaurants. However the tables are close together and the noise level makes conversation untenable. Overall experience was positive but would not recommend for an intimate/romantic dinner.

    The Madonna Inn is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. We will be back two or even three times a year. It's a one stop shop. Dining is great!! Pool, shops, cafe and especially the rooms all great!'n
