Excellent! Definitely an enjoyable experience. The menu offers several options, with extra specials the evening we were there, Food was prepared to perfection.- a salmon pate’, garbanzo bean soup topped with chorizo and a pork chop entrée totally delicious. Our server was great, knowledgeable, offered great suggestions, when asked. She was attentive, but allowed us time to enjoy. Highly recommend!

We have been to Cafe Madrid many times and always end up doing several Tapas for the meal because they are so delicious. This time we did entrees (the Chilean Sea Bass and Salmon with Mango Chimichurri and both were excellent. It will be hard to decide what to get next time! (& server Danny was fabulous! Probably the best server we’ve had there)

Celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday at Café Madrid was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The food was exceptional—each dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. We particularly enjoyed the recommendations from our wonderful server, Nicole, who not only guided us through the menu but also surprised us with a special birthday celebration and a complimentary dessert. Her genuine warmth and attentiveness made the evening truly memorable. Overall, Café Madrid exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and a heartfelt birthday surprise made it a night to remember. We look forward to returning to create more beautiful memories at this charming restaurant.
