Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Madeira

We were celebrating our 32nd anniversary. We've tried to return to Jag's for three years, but had to cancel due to last minute family issues. Last night was perfect; from our table location, the food, the atmosphere, but especially due to the very personalized and attentive server,Brady D. and Ryan R. Both men helped to make our experience momentous. We joked with Brady regarding several menu items that we hadn't seen or heard of before and he responded very jokingly and we enjoyed his responses. Ryan asked me if I'd like a drink and I responded by stating I'd like to have a Black Manhattan with Buffalo Trace. Ryan asked how'd I like it served and stated the three ways I could have it. I hadn't heard of an Up presentation and he explained what that was and I chose that style, which was excellent by the way! At the conclusion of our meal and celebration, we both agreed the experience was as near perfect as it could be. The young ladies at the front greeted us and offered congratulations on our anniversary as well as all of the servers, etc. Jag's made our special day extraordinarily special!! Thank you for our perfect evening!

The food and service were amazing! The history of the building was so interesting. We did have to wait a little bit while to be seated after our reservation time. It is to be expected during the holiday season. It was crowded, so it was somewhat difficult to hear the rest of my party , but that shows how everyone was enjoying their evening. It was a memorable way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. UPDATE: Management reached out immediately and apologized for the additional wait time again. I really appreciate the customer service and quick response. It is a good choice for those special occasions.

I was very impressed with my entire evening at the National Exemplar. Our server, Stephen, could not have been more polite, knowledgeable and welcoming. Th Pork Tornado entree was absolutely delicious...melt in your mouth delicious. And the vibe was so festive right before the holiday...it was perfect.

Food was wonderful but a little pricy. The service was slow especially since there were only about a dozen people there. The music playing was way too loud.

The food was great. Our server was terrific. And as usual, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
