    Great service. Worst prime rib ever. Very sad for a steakhouse to not know how to properly cook a prime rib. Ordered medium rare, came out well done on the outside and ends, and rare in the center, along with it being the chewiest steak ever. Just awful. Server and manager were amazing tho.

    There was a live band who sounded perfectly tuned to the room - you could hear and enjoy the music but it wasn’t intrusive at all, and you could still enjoy dinner table conversation. Loved that people were square dancing to the band!

    I went to celebrate my birthday and I loved the ambience the music and the place Settings. The prime rib that I had was slightly overcooked, but it was good. The service was OK. the server knowing that it was my birthday didn’t even offer cake. It’s like he just wanted to get rid of us. Other than him, I had a great experience.

    Overall a very nice dining experience. The waiter we had was superb and efficient and friendly, which is consistent. The prime rib was, as always, very enjoyable. The only caveat is that Madonna seems to be out of their best desserts when I come. Request your favorite cake when you arrive, so this doesn’t happen and also, if you’re sensitive to noise, ask in advance to be seated away from any live band they might be have. I love the fun ambiance, entrees, fresh baked potatoes, rolls, good ranch, very excellent cocktails, great service (and getting a green vegetable with my meal which many restaurants don’t do). These strong points are consistent at Madonna and that keeps me coming back, as I have for over two decades!
