    I read good reviews for this place and needed a place for the 6 of us to eat before the hockey game. We got a reservation literally the day before and probably didn’t need one. The food was amazing for sure! So different and so good.! Our waiter suggested 4-5 items for our group to share and swore it would be more than enough. We ended up ordering more and quit at 7 . We left kind of hungry still. The portions for each $18+ dish ordered only came with enough for 3 people to try, so we were cutting deviled eggs and gyros in half so all could try for instance. We loved the food but were disappointed in the servings. Fun idea though for sure.

    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.
