The Madrigal - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant one, offering a nice place for a small bite and a drink. The staff was friendly and attentive whenever they came around. The food arrived fresh, delicious, and hot, with small plates perfectly sized to prevent overeating. I particularly enjoyed the 'Angels with Dirty Wings, ' an herbal drink that was different and refreshing. Both the zucchini fries and the paella were good, but the Panna cotta is a must-try! The tables are close, which can lead to a loud atmosphere when busy. While reservations were suggested, we were seated in under 10 minutes without one. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, though it's a small space.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was great, and the drinks were equally impressive. The service was truly amazing, with everyone being super friendly and accommodating. We ordered the cheeseburger and the cavatelli. While the cavatelli were truly delicious and I couldn’t get enough, I do wish the portion of cavatelli was bigger. I definitely recommend this place and will return next time I'm in San Francisco.

My friend and I visited for a light bite before a show. We ordered a salad, zucchini fries, and trout dip to share. All the dishes were pretty tasty, and the service was friendly and efficient. I'd give it four stars for the food and service. However, I'm docking a star due to the 6% "Healthy SF" surcharge, which was barely visible on the worn and faded menu. While restaurant employees deserve fair wages and healthcare, patrons also deserve transparent pricing. Restaurants should update their menu prices to include these surcharges. Until this practice changes, I won't be returning and encourage others to support restaurants with upfront pricing.

Our last stop of the night was a great one, arriving just moments before last call. The drinks were exceptional, truly unique. I was particularly impressed with the forbidden city, served in a charming tea cup. The ambiance is versatile, suitable for both dressed-up and casual visits. The service was incredibly friendly! We also learned about a secret drink menu, which definitely warrants a return visit to explore more.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, centered around its beautiful place and great ambience. The excellent location makes it a perfect spot for a date or catching up with friends. The cocktails were top notch, and I especially loved the snacks, particularly the spinach and cheese dip. However, the service could be a bit slow during peak evening hours.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food menu was very limited, which was a significant drawback. However, the service was good, and the cocktail menu was good. The music was loud, which detracted from the dining experience, especially in a place focused on dining. Overall, if you're looking to make a show, it's doable, but with so many better restaurants in the area, it's not a great choice.

I went in to grab a quick bite to go. The bartender was very friendly and took my order for the chicken sliders. Unfortunately, when I got back to my room and bit into the first slider, the chicken was raw on the inside. This pretty much lost my appetite.

I have to say this place is a lot better than it probably needs to be. It's a really spacious and fun place for pre-theater, symphony, opera, or ballet dining. They also offer a late-night happy hour for after-show drinks or dining, which is a nice touch!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The extensive cocktail list offered many excellent choices for our group, and they also have an interesting mocktail selection. It's a great place to share small dishes, and the food was excellent. The service, atmosphere, and food all received top marks.

My experience at this chic-looking cocktail bar on Market was a mixed bag. The staff were knowledgeable and served inventive cocktails that looked great on paper. However, sadly, they mostly missed the mark and were unbalanced. The ambiance was also lacking, with the interior feeling a little dated. Despite these shortcomings, I still enjoyed my time here with some friends. Specifically, the 'Forbidden City' was spirit-forward and pretty unique, which I enjoyed. On the other hand, 'Clone Canyon' was too tart and I would skip it.
