    Filet at Madonna Steakhouse is the best. Great service. We celebrated our anniversary and received a complimentary dessert. Shout out to Teresa she was outstanding and we will look for her in the future.

    Fun experience, takes you back in time. While the restaurant and Inn's interior is a little dated and some seat cushions could be replaced, it was a wonderful experience and part of the charm. The service was amazing ad everyone was happy to help. Beautiful ambiance and the drinks were so good. We will definitely will be returning. great place for a special occasion.

    Everything was cooked just right. Wonderful prime rib and sea food. It was easy to get your food and sit down. The service was top notch! The only thing missing was cheese cake.
