    We had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary. We had a nice table in the corner and the entire staff were very attentive despite two larger events going on in the side rooms. MAD had set up our table with rose petals and provided a champagne toast to start the meal and the manager came by during the meal to congratulate us and check that everything was going well. The food (seafood paella) was delicious and they modified the salad to account for my husband's dairy allergy. Overall a lovely evening.

    Overall good experience, however I did find it on the expensive side. Our waitress pushed very expensive appetizers and brought multiple items of each without asking/confirming with me as the host. She also pushed for expensive main courses - again, without confirming the number of dishes ordered. I found this annoying and was unable to manage the budget accordingly. Learned my lesson on this - make sure you know exactly what and how much when ordering - don’t leave room for misinterpretation or you’ll end up paying much more than you expected as the waiter/waitress will take advantage of the situation.

    The food quality has reduced significantly. We did not enjoy our meal at all. The appetizers were decent. MAD used to be a fave spot of mine, but I don’t think we’ll be going back.

    Yummy food and menu choices. Great waiter but as with most American restaurants, service is always rushed and cleaning table fast. Suggestion is to wait for about 10 minutes or so and then come around to ask only after a long pause and one always feels rushed …. Wait then ask for dessert ….. Music should be softer background music and not the thumbing background noise. Bon appetite !
