Excellent execution of every dish we got, good drinks, amazing food and the right vibe. Everyone was so nice and the chef kept sending us samples of other stuff so my friends in town were very pleased. Would definitely come back! we loved the liver mouse and the chicken is amazing!
Truly exceptional find! Get the chicken and the black truffle croquetas; they won’t disappoint. But neither will the fluke ceviche, the agnolotti, or the wines. Outstanding meal.

Need to preorder the French toast or souffle as they are super popular (never heard of a restaurant in this city "running out" of French toast tbh).Ceviche and seasonal agnolotti also definitely worth ordering.

What a lovely surprise for a Friday night!!I showed up by myself without RSVP and asked to be seated at the bar, the staff was beyond friendly.What you see on the photos is a scallop dish that’s off-the menu but I was lucky enough to try because a friend of the Chef was sitting next to me and I asked if I could have it too, they were so nice to me and let me order it :))Absolutely delicious.My main was the lobster agnolotti which was heavenly and balanced.For dessert I had the chocolate mousse because I really wanted to have a glass of chartreuse on the rocks as digestif, thought it would pair well.. I wasn’t wrong, but the best part is that the staff hooked me up with the banana pudding (with horchata) and my mind was blown. Perfect Friday Night. FinCan’t show enough appreciation for making my solo date so wonderful! Hope to be back soon..
Came here for a Sunday brunch bc I kept seeing videos of this place on TikTok. Overall a good restaurant. Got to my reservation very late. But the kind ladies at the front were accommodating which is strongly appreciated.Seated at the bar. The young gentleman attended us. We ordered the black truffle croquettes 7/10 felt like Mac and cheese in a ball with light flavor of black truffle. I would say the star of that dish was the cauliflower purée it was bright and sweet!Next we got the pork Sammy. I would give it a 6.5/10 it was soft and tender in every bite and loved the brightness of the pinapple and crunchiness of the tostones! I wish they added more pork cus it was only like 2 pieces. And it tasted like just bread and pinapple. I guess it falls because it was tiny and simply plated with fries and pickles. So it didn’t really stand out. Next was cornbread Madeline’s 6/10. They were buttery and exact texture and taste of cornbread. So it’s okay. The butter they served it with had a hint of sweetness.Lastly the French toast 8.5/10! Super sweet and fluffy. My favorite part was the sweet plantain which added such an extra sweetness to it and contrast of the bananas. Only thing I didn’t like was it was burnt around the edges and I hate burnt taste.Plating the croquettes were the only thing that looked great.Service wise. It seems like the manager came to drop off food for us. And his vibe was wack. I moved dirty plates out of the way for him to serve the food which I don’t mind helping. But he didn’t even pick up the dirty plates after. I have the say there was a lot of people working going around in circles and no one cleaned up our plates ! Biggest pet peeve having dirty dishes in front of me while eating. And lastly. I think $12 for fluffy orange juice is way too expensive especially in this economy lol.Also for whatever this day there was a lot of food influencers making content which was cool to see.But !!!! Overall don’t let the tiktokers fool you!!

Had an amazing experience sitting at the bar at Madre. This place has it all. Great cocktails, food, wine and attentive service. Chris was our bartender and even though he was very busy, he didn't miss a step, understanding what type of food and drinks we'd like and making great suggestions. My wife and I shared a few dishes and also sampled each other's drinks, with everything coming out superb. We really enjoyed the oysters with the strawberry mignette, the agnolotti and the chicken. Oh, and the cornbread. Finished everything off with a banana souffle desert. Will be back.
Madre was a super fun experience to try - the highlight of the dinner was the fluke ceviche and the strawberry banana soufflé; and I don't even like bananas! I thought the cocktails were average at best, the one I got was all ice so that felt like a ripoff. But, chicken liver mousse and the octopus was excellent. I would return to Madre, but with a little more focus on trying new dishes and avoiding the cocktail I had and I would try something different besides the Kurobuta Pork as I thought it was average. I expected more flavor there. Service made up for it with free potato chips (some of the best I ever had) and the crème brûlées. All in all, solid experience.
Went for my brother’s birthday. All of the food was fantastic. Very balanced flavors while also being quite bold. Drinks were a hit. Would highly recommend.Food 5, Service 5, Atmosphere 5
I liked the vibe but there were a few things off that made the meal much less pleasant. The curry carrot drink was VERY curry and not enough carrot. The mains took 30m+ to come out and by the time they did, the octopus was very chewy. For dessert we wanted the soufflé but were told that would take another 20 minutes. After waiting that long for our mains, and as we were informed the kitchen was closing, we regrettably decided not to order it. Dinner began at 8, ended at 1030.Despite all that the highlights were the fluke ceviche (I could drink that broth), and the sweet potato agnolotti.
If you're looking for a place going above and beyond - go here!My fiancé, future MIL, and I went to Madre for the first time on a Friday and had a great time. After a disappointing experience on Saturday at a different place we decided to go back for brunch that Sunday.It was the last service before they shut down for a break and while in other places this would mean a drop in standards, here it was the opposite. Francesca our server was friendly and attentive, taking the time to talk and answer our questions even though the place was full.I drink a lot of water and Francesa along with John, a fellow server made sure that my water glass was never empty which may seem small to some but made me feel very well taken care of.Another server Alexia came right over when I caught her eye and needed help which is so nice when you're used to being ignored by servers that aren't yours in other places.Isabelle the Manager and John the Chef were also lovely taking the time to see us when I complimented what each of them contributed to our experience.It's officially one of our favorite spots in the city and we can't wait to go back!
Madre does not disappoint at all, the food and the service are superb. The whole experience of eating here was 10/10. Great for date night or just a meal with friends. It was our anniversary and Madre was very welcoming and accommodating.
