    Delicious Easter prix fixe menu today. Food always good other than a few minor things. Kitchen was slower than usual but gave us time to digest the 4 courses. First course choices a bit disappointing but the rest amazing. Duck mousse pate, Rack of lamb, chocolate flourless cake up to par. Service was decent considering it was a holiday. Always recommend this spot with amazing food and a view to die for.

    Our experience at The Wharf at The Madison Beach Hitel started off by filling a reservation for my family 2 and a half hours late. We then sat at a table and were not served anything but dinner rolls for another hour. The food portions were small, especially for the price, the child’s plates were larger portions. Our bill was incorrect and required us to wait for a manager. Our total time spent at the establishment was approximately 5 hours, for a planned brunch, with 3 children under the age of 8. With an additional 378$ in services attached after the prepayment for the reservation, only to leave in search of food because of the small portions paired with time spent waiting to be seated for hours. Our experience was less than satisfactory, disappointed would best describe our situation.

    The valet parking was convenient, the views were beautiful, and the patio ambiance was a standout. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We saw our server only twice—once to drop off the menus and again with the check. No check-in on our appetizers, no follow-up on drinks, and our food took exactly an hour to arrive. Meanwhile, tables around us were being served promptly. It felt like our order was either lost in the kitchen or never sent in. And after all that, the burger and chicken sandwich were just average.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the valet service, views, and patio ambiance. However, I sincerely apologize for the service and food delays you experienced. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and I’ve shared your feedback with our team to ensure improvements. We appreciate your visit and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience next time.

    The waiter gave me the check before I was done and then he scooped my dessert from the take home bag and the presentation was terrible. He placed the ice cream and the crumbled bread pudding in front of me. I found it rude, but I still left a decent tip.
