    Great location & atmosphere! Staff was friendly, professional and welcoming. Food was amazingly flavorful and appealing not to mention delicious! The tomato basil with prawns soup was soooo fantastic! Grilled octopus & asparagus were likewise full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The crispy shrimp w/ bao buns were great and for an appetizer the portion was very generous! We’d recommend this restaurant for good food and relaxing vibe & atmosphere:)

    My wife & I chose Maddy Rose to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. We went to Maddy Rose on June 14,2025 - 50 years to the day of our wedding. The ambiance was fantastic. Kattie was our server & she was great. Sher went out of her way to make it a special night. "Happy 50th Anniversary" was printed on our menu! When we asked Katie to take our photo by the window, she told us to go outside where she took the photo with the NY skyline in the background. I highly recommend Maddy Rose but caution anyone considering going there to make a reservation. As you would suspect, the place is filled so the reservation is a must.
