Madonna Inn delivered another terrific dining experience. We've been coming for a birthday dinner every year for 28 years now. The place is always decorated cleverly for the season and the atmosphere is very festive. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive especially since it was a very busy night. We'll be back!

We enjoyed the prix fixe menu for Thanksgiving. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable in the menu options. Each item was beautifully plated and tasted delicious. The atmosphere was unique, like a step back in time yet quaint. We will be returning in the future.
