Wonderful food, great experience. Incredible service
We celebrated our 25th anniversary and would recommend this dining experience to anyone celebrating a special occasion. Our server Sharon really took the time to make it extra special by bringing a balloon to our table that read “Happy Anniversary” she also brought us a slice of pink champagne cake to top our dining experience. Sharon allowed us time to enjoy our sparkling wine before taking our order. Sharon and Leo both tended to us the entire time. The food was exceptionally perfect as we had expected. Filet mignon was tender and perfectly medium as requested. Highly recommend this dining experience for those who appreciate an exceptional steak and service.
Birthday
Catered to perfectly
I forget how good the food is at Madonna's! Will definitely coming back more often
Excellent service! And the food was fantastic!
One of us had filet & lobster, the special, and one of us had halibut. Everything, soup, salad, rolls, nice hot baked potatoes, but the halibut was a small portion and very bland.
Our waitress was very friendly and great service.
Great experience eating at this restaurant. Great food, great service.
First time dining at Madonna’s. Atmosphere was nice, food was great.
The experience was fantastic.
Everyone should stop by and eat dinner. The waitress was second to none. She was attentive, pleasant, welcoming, and made the entire dinner. Will be going back again and again.
The night overall was great. Only issue was our filet mignon was a bit under cooked. Other than that we had no issues.
The service was fabulous! The food was excellent as usual. The make you feel like family when you walk in.
This place is an experience you should be willing to pay for before you walk in the door. It was 100% perfect for my daughter's 17th birthday. Food is good - not a culinary adventure, but they know how to cook a steak and fish so you can't argue with it. Service was on point and very gracious... AND they surprised my daughter - unasked - with a free, enormous piece of quite delicious cake for her birthday. And the decor... well, that's what you're paying for, so all I can say is, enjoy!!! It does not disappoint.
The drinks were delicious. We had an appetizer of avocado toast which was devine. The New York steak I ordered had an amazing taste but was a little dry and chewy despite being cooked medium.
This was honestly a pretty terrible experience. My husband and I ordered medium steak and they came out fully rare. We were sat next to a child’s birthday party that was extremely rambunctious. For the price, we expected way more.
My boyfriend and I came here for a date. We both loved the service, our waters were refilled almost immediately each time we drank them. The food and ambiance are great too. We go every time we come into San Luis Obispo now. The goblet drinking cups is a souvenir we make sure to buy every time as well.
Everything was wonderful. The ambiance, the service, the food. I can’t say enough good things💜💚
This place is outrageous but worth a trip for the ambiance alone. The dinner was expensive, though I did have the lobster tail. Went back the next day for breakfast. Will definitely go again!
My husband & I loved our first experience. I love pink & everything was pink 💕
The ambiance can’t be beat! Such a fun, pink spot!
Service and food were amazing - even our drinks from the bar were amazing!
Great service! And the pink champagne cake was delicious!
Just come for the Pink Cake. The quality of beef is not a priority here. I think they smoke the meats so they are more tender, but I don’t want a Smokey flavored Rib Eye. Sorry.
Everyone at the restaurant was extremely friendly, and made my Birthday Celebration that more special!!!!!!! The ambiance, food, and cake hit the spot!!! Thank You!!!
Love this place must try food was amazing
It was amazing.
21st Birthday
The pork chop was incredibly delicious! My husband got the filet mignon and lobster which were both just as good. They even recommended some wines that paired up well with our meals. Then we got a slice of their champagne cake that was amazing!! Service was phenomenal!!
It was The Best service, it was my Husbands Birthday, we were sat right away, the decor was absolutely fabulous, the food was INCREDIBLE and the service made me feel like I was the queen of England. I can’t wait to go back
The steaks we ordered were delicious and cooked perfectly. Our waitress (Sharon or Cheryl?) was the best, attentive but not overwhelming.
Thoughtful service that went above and beyond. Food came super quick.
Great time as always. Surf and turf was outstanding!
Another outstanding birthday celebration at The Madonna. My French filet was so tender and juicy, and the hubs raved about his swordfish, which didn't smell like fish. Woohoo! He also devoured his Pink Champagne cake. A delightful meal and celebration. Thank you!!
My overall experience was excellent. The food was amazing and the restaurant was simply beautiful.
Nice people , Amazing food . Perfect for a date night .
Great to visit Madonna again. Staff was great...food was great. First time inside at a restaurant in over a year. Madonna was the perfect place. Nice to celebrate a [40th] anniversary there!!
Always a great experience!
Unexpected to find this spot here but what a fun experience! Nothing prepares you for the pop of color in the decor at the dining room. Service is fantastic as is the food. The swordfish steak was a surprise to find and prepared beautifully.
It was an experience I won’t forget. Being able to celebrate my birthday here was something I have waited years to do. The service was excellent! I also can’t get over the beautiful decor they had for Spring. The color combination was a dream.
The service was amazing and the place wasn't crowded at 9:30pm. Prime rib and shrimp cocktail amazing.
Great food. Great service. And it was SO NICE to be able to sit inside again!
