MADRE

“I came to have my birthday brunch on Saturday the 21st & wanted to sit at the bar. They had a seat waiting for me and the bartender, Lindsay, greeted me with a warm birthday welcome and a glass of Prosecco. :) To start, the drink with the rum and lemongrass was strong but also perfectly balanced. Really enjoyed that. She made me a gin cocktail, which I also loved and the prosecco was good! Since I was by myself, I ordered the croquettes, the shrimp & their famous french toast. The shrimp?! ORDER 2 ORDERS OF IT, insanely flavorful and an underrated dish on their menu. I wanted to lick the place. I would have loved bread with it to dip in the leftover sauce ;) Their french toast is now made with milkbread and what a smart choice!! DIVINE! Order that. They even put a candle in it for me - again, a small gesture that meant a lot. Shout out to Lindsay who took great care of me. She was attentive but not in your face. And she makes a fantastic cocktail! Thanks, Lindsay ;) & the manager, I forget her name, she was also very lovely and kind. I'd like to come back and try their dinner!!!”

“I've been wanting to come to MADRE for quite a some time so I finally snagged a reservation a few weeks before. First off, the vibe inside is so cool - I love how they used the lights to give an intimate yet fun vibe. The service was great and the food was good, just good however. The lamb chops were the best dish of the nights for us but tasted like good quality chops, nothing special. The flavors were okay but I wish they did more with the dishes. The drinks were strong which is a plus, you just need one for the evening. Not sure if I'd come back or recommend someone to come out of their way for a meal. Still a great place but the food was just okay.”

“We sampled nearly every item on the menu and loved it all, from the creative cocktails to the delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts. We even ordered two of the chocolate souffles to finish the night. It was a fun evening of great food and company in a trendy Greenpoint, Brooklyn restaurant.”
