It was a Sunday night and it was pretty slow. I would have thought this would mean we would get great service but it was the opposite. It was very slow, took over 20 mins to get drinks, once we ordered our main course it took well over 30 mins to get our order. The appetizers and desert were really good but the main courses were not worth the money. I’ve been there several times before and had great experiences. It was disappointing, no one in my staff had been there before and would have loved for them to have had a better experience.

This is just an all around great restaurant. My partner and I have been there three times now and everything we’ve tried is amazing. We had the duck/apricot paella the last time and it was an amazing dish. Frankly, it’s equal to or better than the paella I’ve had in Spain. The grilled shrimp appetizer was also incredible. The shrimp was more consistent with langostines so that was a real bonus! The waiters are great, especially Cameron, so there had never been an issue. The last time I rated it, I dinged them a little for their very un-Houston like dress code (men can’t wear shorts no matter how nice but women could waltz around with their b~tts and b@@bs hanging out), but men can now wear nice shorts with the relaxed dress code. Thank goodness because now I’ve been there three times in two weeks…. It’s a must try restaurant

Experiencing the 12-course meal at MAD was extraordinary. From the moment we were seated, the service was impeccable, with each course presented cleanly and described with expertise and passion. The staff was attentive, anticipating every need while allowing us to fully savor each dish. Each course offered a balance of flavors, crafted with precision, and presented as true culinary art. The progression from one dish to the next felt seamless, each course adding depth to the overall experience. The pacing was impeccable, giving us ample time to appreciate each creation without feeling rushed and enjoy conversation. MAD delivered a dining experience that was not only a feast for the senses but also a showcase of exceptional service. While we were unable to get a reservation at BCN taste tonight (because they were closed celebrating their Michelin star). MAD was more like an upstart younger sibling rivaling to overtake the former rather than a second choice. MAD provided a meal that left a lasting impression—an elegant, immersive journey that defines fine dining at its best.
