                                          Took family for daughter’s birthday. Kids have never been to an upscale restaurant before. They were all excited throughout their experience at cafe Madrid. Good food for distinctive palates. Service was good however lacking in punctuality. Had to ask for steak knives and drink refills. I left a generous tip due to dining during the holidays. Price value for food was a bit off. Overall quality time with family. Next time same experience and better value at Olive Garden.

                                          This was our first visit and for the price point we won't go back. The chairs we sat on were old and wobbly. My wife pinched her finger between the chair seat and the legs when she grabbed the chair to scoot herself up to the table from the large gap. Service wasn't attentive and the food was over priced. My pork chop was $50. My wife's $45 NY steak was thin and grisley. Horrible quality. The restaurant very dated with a small parking lot.

                                          Very nice to outstanding restaurant - service and food excellent! Prices are quite a bit too high and greater than the value of the service, food, and experience.

                                          We had a very nice time at Cafe Madrid. The food was excellent, the ambiance nice, and Riley was a fantastic server.

                                          Excellent! Definitely an enjoyable experience. The menu offers several options, with extra specials the evening we were there, Food was prepared to perfection.- a salmon pate’, garbanzo bean soup topped with chorizo and a pork chop entrée totally delicious. Our server was great, knowledgeable, offered great suggestions, when asked. She was attentive, but allowed us time to enjoy. Highly recommend!
