"I went to Madeleine's 2 nights ago and the food was ok but it took nearly 3 hours to get our food. I'm not sure if they were surprised by the amount of business they had on a Tuesday night but it should not take over 2 hours for a couple of appetizers to appear and another 45 minutes for the entrée, especially considering that the bill was quite high. Thoroughly disappointed."

"I travel to Evansville for business and when I heard of this unique restaurant, I couldn't wait to try it. I really enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere is casual and classy. The decor is very unique and interesting. The service was outstanding. The waitress was very attentive and paid a lot of attention to detail. The wine selection was the best I have seen in Evansville. The menu changes monthly so you will always be surprised about what the chef has to offer. I had the ceasar salad and was thrilled to find a authentic ceasar salad. The dressing and the coddled egg were perfect.
I am very impressed and will be coming back to Madeleine's every time I am in Evansville. I can't wait to see what's on the menu the next time!"

"Mushroom appetizer was great. We both had fish, barracuda was spicy and opah was mild and meaty. Great wine, no room for desert. Only gripe is that Cesar salad is hard to keep on the plate."

"Without a doubt the finest food, service and ambiance in Evansville! The Whiskey Cream Mushrooms are a must have appetizer if available. My last experience, I brought my brother down for his birthday. We had the Whiskey Cream Mushrooms and Wild Game Sliders, followed by salads, then I had the Venison and my brother the Wahoo. Dessert was white chocolate crème brûlée and pineapple upside-down cake. Molto buono!"

"Very good experience overall. The entrees were great. The shrimp appetizer was very good, but also very small. I would have expected a larger portion for the price. The service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was busy with a limited number of servers. I was not in a hurry so this was not a problem. A good place to eat in Evansville (not many places like this one!)."

"Madeleine's is a neat little restaurant on the eastern edge of downtown Evansville, close to the Aztar and other downtown attractions. The menu is somewhat eclectic and everything I've tried has ranged from being very good to being superb. Give it a try!"

"While I did feel that the selections were very good for Valentines Day, I did feel that, by comparison to ordering from the usual menu and making our own choices, the pre-selected items for Valentines Day were pricey and smaller quantities than I wold have expected from Madeleine's."

"Fantastic restaurant in the Evansville area. Dinner was great. It has to be one of the best dinner spots in Evansville. A great buy for the money. Anybody who complains about the prices at this restaurant obviously doesn't go to nice restaurants very often."

"We came for our valentines day dinner and booked ahead online. They have us the most romantic seat, our waiter was personable, helpful and extremely friendly. Also, great at his job. We could not have found a better dining experience for our special occasion. I would highly recommend this for adults who want the complete dining experience with fantastic food. The price is higher than what we would normally spend eating our but for this occasion it was well worth the money!!"
