Reviews for La Madeleine Country French Cafe

We often grab lunch or dinner here, and on Friday, we tried the new baked pasta. It was tasty, but the parsley kind of dulled the flavor a bit; I mentioned it to Ms. Brenda, who was super sweet and said she'd pass the feedback to the chef. The next day, we went back, and guess what? The pasta had more sauce and no parsley this time-talk about a win!

We often head over for lunch or dinner, and last Friday, we tried the new baked pasta. It was tasty, but the parsley kind of overshadowed the flavor, so I suggested they add more cheese sauce when I chatted with Ms. Brenda, who was super friendly. The next day, we returned for their Bouche de Noel cake, and I was thrilled to find the pasta had more sauce and no parsley this time, which made my day!

"Cafeteria NOT a French Cafí©. La Madeleine is a fast food restaurant masquerading as a French Cafí©"

Anyone who thinks the La Madeleine is representative of a French Cafí© has never visited a real one.

My children who live out of town wanted to send my wife to a nice birthday dinner and bought a $100 gift card to La Madeleine to cover a dinner for two at what they thought from the website was a "nice" restaurant.

Upon our arrival we found it was basically a cafeteria. You order at the counter and within 5 minutes your complete meal was served on a plastic tray. Soup, Salad, entrí©e & desert all at once. In other words, everything was precooked and help in a warming tray until it is slopped onto your plate.

Since all my food came at once I asked for some aluminum foil to cover my entrí©e in an attempt to keep it warm. They staff was quick to supply he foil, but never offered to keep my food warm. A real French cafí© would have served the meal in courses like real restaurants do.

If you wanted a piece of bread, napkin or flatware who had to go get it from the self-serve area that looks like the free breakfast area as a low -midrange motel.

On the good side the French Onion Soup was very tasty. It would have been better if it was warm enough to actual melt the shredded cheese.

Even with the aluminum foil covering my entrí©e by the time I finished my lukewarm soup it was too cold to eat. I found it difficult if not impossible to keep a god mood so as not to further destroy my wife's birthday night out.

Basically, La Madeleine is a fast food restaurant masquerading as a French Cafí©
