   The Madrona is our favorite for special occasions and when we just want a special evening out. The food and the service are always amazing!

   We went up for the High Tea service, which was fun. Service was nice, food was god, tea was good, we did add the additional "Cocktail Pot" -- our choice for that was the Fennel Collins which was fantastic. High tea was served in the side front parlor at small tables for 2, or a low couch for a bit larger party. (I think High Tea is also offered on the front porch--but it was too cold for that at this time.) 3 tiers of savory sandwiches on the bottom, desserts, middle, and miniature scones and cream on the top. Fun.

   The Madrona was a lovely experience. The setting is beautiful and worthy of a special occasion. Service was impeccable and our food and cocktails were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

   Great black rice, burger (but fries were not hot) and gnocchi with lamb. Even greater hot bread and edamame sauce (got another serving). Strange cauliflower tempura - all rolled into a roll and bready.

   No one came to our table for 15 minutes. Had to ask the busboy to get our server. The benches are too low for the tables. The center post is uncomfortable. The noise level was too loud, both people talking and the loud music. Our entrees were delicious. But we were disappointed

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. A delay in service is not the standard we strive for, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better attentiveness moving forward. I also appreciate your comments about the seating and noise level—we take guest comfort seriously and will communicate this with ownership. On a positive note, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your entrees and that your server provided great service. We never want a guest to leave feeling disappointed, and I’d love the opportunity to make things right.

   Food was excellent, as expected. Deep flavors, well prepared. Could have used a few more veggies, but overall a wonderful experience.

   Love the atmosphere , our chicken was delicious but we didn’t care for the halibut it was very mushy! Not able to eat it at all. service was outstanding! Thought it was over priced for what we had.

    We came for a birthday celebration and had an amazing time. The staff were very kind and wrote a lovely birthday card to my husband with a Camellia attached. Our servers name was Skylar and they were an absolute treat to enjoy dinner with. Our dinner suggestions and drinks were delicious and we had a very memorable time. Thank you to the staff of the Madrona for a special evening!

Skylar will be delighted to know they made such a positive impact on your evening, and I’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with our team. It’s always our goal to create meaningful moments for our guests, and we’re so glad we could be a part of your celebration. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable experience! - Moira, F & B Director, The Madrona
