    Our party of 4 had afternoon tea on 9/1/24 and it was our first time at Madeline. Everything was wonderful! The main dining room was elegant. The harpist was very talented and played beautifully. All of us really enjoyed our teas (lavender black & lychee oolong). We ordered the European and Madeline high tea. There was plenty of food and we all left very full. The French onion soup and salad were really good. And the scones - omg! The scones were so delicious and some of the best that we’ve ever had. Service was great and attentive. 10/10 experience! We will be coming back.

    Such a wonderful experience. Everyone was very pleasant and even got a brief history on the building. Will be back to this classy establishment. Also loved the live harp player! (Tip her)

    First time coming here at MGBV on a Saturday(Mother's Day weekend). I was contacted about 5 to 6 times confirming my reservation at 11:15 AM, May 11th. I received an email, 3 text messages and 1 missed call. Anyway, servers are super friendly and accommodating. However, I was turned off that they upped the prices because it was mother's day weekend and included a mandatory service charge.

    We didn't like the food. They switched the menu on us and had very high special event prices. Imposed a mandatory 25% tip even though the service was slow. Nice ambiance and very pretty restaurant.

    At the Valentine's Day pris fixe the food was overpriced, mediocre, and misleading. The Bouiabesse and risotto was neither Bouiabesse nor risotto but rather overcooked and dry fish and red rice porridge. The choice of soup or salad 2nd course was no choice, just salad. Tea on the desert menu ran an extra $18. There was an automatic 25% service charge, though we were only two persons.
