    I love this place. The ambiance is beautiful, the service was great. The food was delicious. The only thing I would say is that they could improve their paella recipe. The seafood wasn’t the best quality. Other than that, we were very pleased with our dining experience.

    Service is good! Everyone asking if you need anything, checking on you etc. Food was pretty terrible and for the quality, overpriced. Everything we ordered was dry or over cooked. The salmon was extremely dry and flavorless. The Fidegua was the most disgusting meal I’ve ever had. The pasta is elbow pasta used for mac and cheese. Was not impressed and more than likely would not come back.

    We came for my husband's birthday, and they completely exceeded all of our expectations. Our waitress was attentive and extremely kind. Our food was absolutely to die for. We ended up sharing nearly everything, because we wanted to try everything on the table. We had a late reservation, and as a result were there a little bit after close. At no point were we felt rushed by the staff, and at expressing our concern that they were closed, our waitress cheerfully told us to take our time. We had such a good experience.

    Cafe Madrid is back 100%! We had the albóndigas , chicken croquettes with Roquefort sauce , the lobster soup, the garbanzo soup, the duck with apple in orange sauce, the sangria and the crème brûlée cake! Everything tasted perfect and the bread rolls are also so good. Ok you are going to spend but it is totally worth it. It is our favorite spot in town. Service and food, mostly food 100 back from the Pandemic. I could not emphasize more you won’t regret what you pay for here!

    I have driven by Cafe Madrid so many times and each time I tell myself that I want to try it out. This year for our anniversary my husband told me to pick place and make the necessary reservation - so I decided we would try Cafe Madrid - so happy I did. Our server, Charles was awesome. We started off with the Brussels sprouts tapas - it was delicious. My husband had the chicken and mushrooms with mashed potatoes and I had the lemon salmon with asparagus and saffron rice with a glass of their house sangria - both dishes were exceptional. We finished our meal with dessert and coffee. My husband had the crème brûlée with a cappuccino and I had chocolate mousse and decaf coffee. Both were amazing. We both agreed we have found our new fave date night restaurant.

    We have been long time visitors to Madrid. Brunch, Lunch, Dinner... Holidays. The food is always excellent and LOTS of it. Some brunch offerings are quite hot. Ask your server. Setting always great. Server and service is great. They need to have a strolling flamenco guitarist and flamenco dancer... but that's me. Piped in music is not as good as live. It is usually always quiet when we go to brunch--whole place to ourselves--brunch at 2 on Sundays.

    Cafe Madrid was as wonderful as they have always been. I was delighted to see that they now have so much business for lunch that they opened the entire restaurant. The reservation system was easy and secure. We were seated in a room by ourselves since we were a large party which was very thoughtful and made our dining experience extra special. We had a lovely quiet space to enjoy our meal and each other.

    This was a great find on vacation. We had bacon wrapped dates, sausage and fig sauce and the lamb shanks with a nice wine. Portions were generous. We had a second meal with leftovers. Service and wine recommendation was excellent. Prices were reasonable. I wish this place was local to my home. I highly recommend.

    The food was delicious. We had heavy tapas and then each ordered an entree. I had the lemon Salmon with saffron rice. It was perfectly cooked with a nice crisp surface. If you plan to go and want paella you will either need to call ahead and order or plan to wait 60 min. We did not have it this go around but I did see it and it looked delicious. Our server was a bit impatient with us which was a little frustrating because the 6 of us were new to Cafe Madrid. I would recommend this restaurant. It is on the expensive side so be prepared for that.
