Restaurants near Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral and Library

It was a fantastic experience all around. Good food, good staff, and beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately, it’s attached to a casino that smells like an ashtray but once inside the restaurant, you don’t seem to smell it anymore.

Sitting in the bar room was much better as far as noise level. The spicy shrimp and grits was terrific. The apricot salmon was cooked well but the potato mash was very salty. Too salty to my liking and almost inedible. The bacon jam could use some texture. The bread that came along with the bacon jam was great.

Madeleine's delivers on its self-description as a fusion-focused restaurant. It's amazing how they can make delightful new flavor and texture experiences with delicate combinations of familiar food elements that don't usually share space on the same plate.

Strawberry salad was very fresh and delicious. Our server, Dillon, was great!

The food was EXECELLENT, but the service was lacking. The person seating us was confused and probably new and untrained. The waitress was away for long periods of time that extended our stay. The food quality would bring us back.
