    We got there 10 min early and it took longer to get seated. People behind us were sat first. And when we were seated our table wasn’t set and no one paid attention to us. We didn’t get a waiter to bring us water and menus for over 30 min. When we got menus we didn’t even get a drink menu. No one checked in on us the entire time. My partner called to a waitress and was ignored. We left once we finally got water.

    We had a wonderful Father’s Day at Madera. It’s a calm restaurant so my son had a great time! It’s spacious, food is pretty good, drinks are good as well, and the staff are extremely kind and welcoming! I would recommend this spot!!!
