I had heard how spectacular the Christmas decorations are, so I chose this time of year to dine at Madonna's, and they did not disappoint! There's more than you could ever take in just looking around. The staff was friendly and prompt. My particular waiter did not seem very knowledgeable about wines, but his knowledge of the food was good. The couple at the table next to me were very pleased with his suggestions. The food is your standard, basic steak house faire. It brought back memories of dining with my parents. Along with your main entree you get the basic green salad or soup, vegetables, baked potato or rice and a bread basket. The food was simple, but good. I had the portobello mushroom since I'm more vegetarian, and it was very tasty with cheese and balsamic toppings. Of course, I had to try their famous Pink Champagne Cake which is a white cake with two types of fillings and pink curls sprinkled on the top. It too was very good and huge...best to share with one or two others. I was there early on a weekday, so the noise level from patrons was low. The old fashioned Christmas music was loud and festive. If you enjoy a traditional steakhouse experience, Madonna's Gold Rush Steak House is perfect.

Great food. Prime rib was excellent. Thanks for making us a great anniversary dinner!

Our meals were delicious. There is an early bird special during the week for $30. Prices on the menu are cash prices. If a credit card is used a 3.95% fee is added. Staff are personable and fun.
