   Amazing experience for MIL’s 86th birthday! Fun for the whole family. Excellent food and service by Jamie! Then continued to the ballroom for dancing and cocktails! So much fun, everyone had a wonderful time!

   We've been coming here for awhile, celebrating Thanksgivings, Christmas' and other big events. The reservation procedure was a joke this time. We spent months trying to get two tables in the main steak room, to celebrate our daughter's wedding with our of town guests. We had our reservations in place, only to get seated in two separate areas. One area being the substandard, lack of ambiance Garden Room. We were met by 0 understanding by staff, embarrassed in front of our family and friends, not to mention strangers who wondered what the commotion was about. Sadly, after tonight's fiasco, this will be our last event celebrated at the Madonna Inn.

   It is almost impossible to serve 1,500 meals perfectly. So, I ordered the Swordfish this year and it was below the proper temperature. It was close to me asking for wasabi. This is our 4th time on a holiday and we will probably be back but I will change what I order. I will stick to Steak or Turkey. The restaurant is decked out and the staff is very good for the amount of diners.

   As always, we have a great experience from food to service. My review is of the ambiance for the season. I feel like its lacking from expected. Christmas music was not turned on when we got seated and when it was played it was on and off. We had few table napkins in our table that were stained. Other than that, staff gave their best service.

   We had six friends share Christmas dinner at Madonna Inn. The prices were very high, $49.99 per meal with a choice of turkey, ham, or duck. All of the meals were served lukewarm, and one person returned her turkey meal because it was cold. Everyone felt their meal was decent but not special. We would not return to the Madonna Inn for another Christmas meal.

    I love the Madonna inn, but this experience was not as good as i was hoping. Started out great, they brought bread and nice finger foods, but we were brought the wrong thing 4 times after our order was taken, and they didnt take a lot of our plates out of the way so we were cramped. Got judgmental looks from servers. The food was alright, but the cake was the only think we were really excited about. We totally understand it was christmas eve, but we just noticed those tiny things that need a bit of work! Other than that, it was an okay experience.
