    This was my first time at Madison Beach Hotel. The Wharf Restaurant was fabulous. I had tomato bisque for an appetizer and then the Burratta Ravioli. Then for dessert the Pote de creme! Everything was fabulous! Excellent service!

    I’ve been here before on several occasions and decided that they should be able to pull off a great Mother’s Day brunch. Our reservation was at 3:30pm which is a late lunch nonetheless I would have expected quality service and food regardless of time at $150 a head. We are seated although there was confusion as to where to put us, in a quiet area on the second floor with a somewhat decent view. It took me asking a random waiter after 10 minutes of being seated to find our waiter so that we can get drinks. The drinks came about 20 minutes after we arrived, and one of our three drinks the Zinfandel was poured with Rose. The other mixed drinks that we ordered were mediocre at best, certainly not deserving of the price tag, and I fine dine often in the City. The buffet was poorly managed. The Cod was scraps, with many of the hotel trays displaying only remnants of once was there. The variety was there however there was an aweful attempt at Asian cuisine mixed in perhaps as a vegetarian option. Come here for the view, not the food. This is not a fine dining establishment although I believe if properly managed they could do much better.

    There for Mother’s Day brunch. The upstairs has a nice view of you at in a window seat but if you are not it’s a standard large room facility. The good was good for a buffet, not as much breakfast as there was lunch - no real pastries as an option. Great desert selection, very yummy.

    Mothers Day brunch was very nice with a buffet with various items including prime rib, shrimp, clam chowder, mac n cheese, cod, omelet station, ham, salad and many other items and a pastry dessert table. Excellent variety but also costly.

    We have been going to the Madison Beach Hotel Restaurant for many years as the food is always very good and the setting lovely. Last evening the time between seating and the main course was more than an hour. Complicating the wait was a noise level that made it difficult to carry on a normal conversation. Our waiter was very nice but apparently could not hurry the course along.
