Such a nice place, you gotta try the huevos voladores dessert.

Great experience and fantastic food. Waiter was amazing!

However, once MAJOR concern is that 3 tables next to us where new guests were seated were never cleaned. The hostess moved the candle and picked up the glasses and no one cleaned before or after. That was gross and disappointing especially during these times.

Food is always delicious! It was definitely a more expensive dinner. Noisy but it was a Saturday.

This is a restaurant - my go to - where I can always count on an a wonderful experience, whether it's food, drinks, service, or overall energy.

Everything about our experience was fantastic. We did the Tasting Menu along with the wine pairing and it was perfect! Our waiter, David D, was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this establishment! You won't be disappointed.

Great service and ambiance! We sat on the terrace during a colder Houston night and the space heaters worked perfectly and kept us comfortable! We really enjoyed the taste of Spain in our back yard of Houston! Will definitely be back!

10/10
The more you order the better. Gotta try everything

The food and service was great....but they shoved 6 of us into a table that was very cramped. While they had 4 people at some round tables for 6. Not sure what the criteria is for getting a good table but we did not make the grade. If we return, I will do more investigation of my seating. I made the reservation weeks in advance and should not have this issue.

We tried the tasting menu with no-alcohol for two the price after tip was ~$310 and we were seated outside on patio. It was cold night 50 degrees farenheight and the heaters were out of propane so we were freezing. We tried around 7 to 10 courses. The food was beautifully presented like artwork. The texture of many of the courses was off for instance the wagu had texture of babyfood. We only enjoyed about 10-15% of the courses. The reason we did not like the courses were the texture of most of the courses were mushy, the taste of the food was not well seasoned/salted and there was an unpleasant lingering aftertaste from most of the food. Service was very good as well was the interior decor. Overall, we were disappointed and likely will not return.

What a fun evening! Food and service were excellent! The Astronaut Experience was ideal for our group. An exciting and unique birthday dinner! We will definitely be back!

It was great! David was an excellent waiter

El servicio muy bueno
El fidegua de cochinillo exelente .
Como toda lo que ordenamos

MAD is one of our favorite restaurants but this visit left a little to be desired.

First on my reservation I referenced it wasfor our Anniversary and it was never mentioned by any of the staff. Second we ordered the paring menu which is very good but they brought the last two items out in the wrong order with the wrong wine parings. Someting which should not have happened and no one offered to fix the wine parings.

Bottom line we will return but for an anniversary dinner it fell short of our expections.

Absolutely fantastic. One of the best restaurants in Houston. Do the astronaut experience.

Great Atmosphere. Great Food. Great Service. Excellent place for special occasion.

Admin should note comments on reservations and notify clients if outside tables are not available. Special occasions should also be noted. Waitress was excellent but overall it was a poor experience as we were not notified a table was available outside prior to making the reservation. They sat us at a table that had uncomfortable chairs too high for table and after asking to be moved we were told we could only be accommodated at one other table - poor attitude and communication. We had to make it obvious it was a birthday celebration as this went unnoticed. We were also told we had to leave after 2 hours even though the kitchen made a mistake with our food. Left with an overall bitter feeling. Shame as the food is excellent. I expected better customer service.

Prior to attending, I was frustrated as the restaurant had cancelled my booking, blaming it on Open Table technical glitch. When I had called them, they have assured me the booking existed. For good measure, I rebooked it but only outdoor was available but I've made a note to ensure indoor seating as per my original booking. Upon arrived, they was going to place us outdoor unless wait for an indoor cancellation. Then staff acted quickly when I've compalined & gave us an indoor table despite it was next to a noisy party of 8 ladies.

Ordering from a la carte was a delight incl. MAD tomato, pan seared fois gras, squid ink bao, suckling pig & their recommended strawberry G&T.

Most disappointing dish was the croquettes which I often order at most Spanish restaurants but it came as measly TINY cocktail sausage portions with no garnishing & poorly presented. They lacked flavour as I couldn't taste the potato texture & it was desperately missing some jamon which would have been, a nice cut of salty sharpness to the bite size delicacies so don't order that dish. The noodle paella was overly salty with limited condiments so it was also a let down given paella is one of the most classic Spanish dish. The waiter offered to cook another but we didn't bother since it was towards the end of our meal.

Food quality, creativity & value are much better than the Spanish Tasting Menu that I had tried at a different restaurant the week before. The most impressive dish was surprisingly the dessert which I loved the passion fruit white choc, recommended by the waiter.

Too bad the experience was spoilt by the noise from the other guests but focusing on the decor & ambience are good distractions incl. the journey to the restrooms with a mirror wall which had lurking female escorts. They didn't bother me as they had alluring outfits but I was taken aback & found it quite amusing.

Overall, a delightful experience despite a few hiccups

MAD was cold and the music was so loud we could not have a conversation. A little to clubby. Food was ok but nothing spectacular. Service was great. They turned the heat on for us and turned the music down but then back up after 10mins. The manager should get his hearing checked.

Food was mediocre but very attractively presented. Basic skills seemed to be missing from the chefs - how much aioli to use on the food, how much you mix seafood before it turns into mush, what "crispy" means in crispy calamari.

Delicious food! Dining was an experience thanks to the decor and the food presentation!

Exceptional food, place , and people.

Service was really slow for the night to not be that busy. Seemed more interested in his other tables

It was a cool experience - definitely don’t regret going. The food was interesting, but some of the courses were out right duds. My partner had the wine pairing which was kind of out of sync with the pacing of the meal and he ended up not getting the last drink because of it. Not a big deal and had to do as much with our timing in needing to go as this was already a rather long meal! The service was great otherwise - but do plan to stay a minute if you’re doing the tasting menu!

Also the vibe in the restaurant was very cool. We sat outside because covid but inside was very well designed and I would come back just for that.

Very interesting and amazing atmosphere and food! The most extraordinary restaurant in Houston for me.

Very good food, original ambiance and friendly staff.

I had a wonderful evening for NYE! However, the food was terrible.

Amazing NYE Tasting experience !

Atmosphere was great and definitely had amazing service. The drinks were definitely a craft and the food was delicious. Upscale and stylish but fun place, and the decor was awesome all around.

MAD never disappoints. Fabulous meal. The meal was edible art. It was a beautifully themed event with a festive ambiance.

I did not like that the manager came 10 mins before our 2:30 was done and told us we had to leave because they have another party that we could move to the bar coming for the same table when there was more then 10 tables open next to us was ignored until the end by that manager no one ever came to check on us to see how things where management side very upset about the last minute rush out of our table

Excellent service

The food was absolutely fabulous! The service and ambience were over the top! We can't wait to go back!

Highly recommend the food experiences. We came for the New Year’s Eve tasting menu. Overall a great experience. We booked a 430p reservation because it was the only reservation available. The restaurant staff had just begun to set up so we felt pretty neglected for the first 15 minutes. Our experience was better once our waiter was ready for us. On our way out we were not greeted, the hostesses were on their phone. Besides those two grievances we enjoyed our time. Every single item on the tasting menu was amazing! To drink we tried an espresso martini and the grizando smash. Both were amazing

Amazing experience, amazing food and drinks! We would go again!

Absolutely outstanding! A culinary adventure that everyone should try.

Food, service, and ambiance were the perfect backdrop for missed conversation, casual touch, and longing stares that left me warm and tingling inside. These moment will live in my memory long after the smell of her skin fades from mine.

Outstanding restaurant: great services, very creative chef, super quality food, most dishes are unique for this place. To me, it is a Michelin-star level restaurant, really. But it’s not chip at all ;-)

MAD does not disappoint - great food - great ambiance- great drinks

We were seated at a high top table right by the door-it was cold and it felt like we were “in the bar” rather than in the restaurant. We also had another couple seated at our same table with some candles separating us-it was ok but certainly not the experience I was expecting. While the food was amazing, our wine came out after 2 of our appetizers had already come out…the appetizers came out separately and were spaced out quite a bit timing wise. Our server was also MIA for much of our meal…I would go back again as the food was very good but would definitely try to request a different table.

Great experience. Fun and delicious.
