   I went to Madrina for a solo dinner experience and sat at the bar. I definitely know I received the same dining experience as if I was sitting at a table in the dining room. Which was 5 star!! The staff is very attentive and friendly. The food was paced well and flavorful. The bar menu had variety and pairs well with what’s on the menu. Thank you Zoe, Tony, Sarah, Alicia, Joey, & Frank! Amazing staff! Great job! I look forward to returning.

   Sommelier Alisha was a masterclass in brunch pairings for beverages.

   Easter Brunch was a triumph. So good. Charcuterie, salads, shrimp, deviled eggs, lamb, ham, flatbreads, Benedicts were amazing, strata's, pastas, potatoes, sausage, bacon, incredible bread pudding French toast, wonderful selection of desserts. The mini cannoli and lemon tarts were my favorites. Excellent cocktails, as well. We were all pleased. Great job.

   The Easter brunch was worth every penny! I don’t think there was a single item that was not outstanding. Will definitely be coming back for brunch again!

   Having grown up in Webster Groves, I was excited to see a fine Italian restaurant take over CJ’s old spot. The space is beautifully decorated, with rich, red, comfortable booths that add to the inviting atmosphere. There were five of us dining, and we each ordered a different entrée after sharing the tender beef carpaccio appetizer, which was topped with peppery arugula and beautifully presented. Among the standout dishes were the Ravioli Aragosta, filled with flavorful lobster and leek in a light wine sauce, and the Pasta Raviolo, with a duck egg yolk that made the sauce creamy and rich—definitely a hit! The Pasta Amatriciana had good flavor, though we missed the crispy bits of guanciale that typically bring the dish to life. My grandson ordered the T-bone steak, and it was cooked perfectly—he didn’t leave a bite! As for the service, there was a moment that took away from the otherwise lovely evening. After ordering the carpaccio, we had mentioned that we’d like to order our entrées once the appetizer arrived. However, our server returned a bit later to take our entrée orders, and after we reiterated our preference to wait, she responded by telling me she was extremely experienced, a James Beard nominee, and knew how to serve her clients. While I appreciate her experience, the comment felt unnecessary and left me feeling a bit admonished and uncomfortable. I was pretty quiet for the rest of the evening, which is unfortunate given how much I was looking forward to the meal.

   My wife and I visited Madrina on a whim and left with a smile. Our server, Erica, was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and personable without hovering. Both the Amatriciana and the Crepe Manicotti were amazingly prepared and delicious. Thank you for a memorable and romantic experience. We will return soon!

   Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! We had the arancini, Mayfair salad, raviolo, Denver steak, and lemon tart (seasonal). The espresso martini is also very good.

    Amazing food, great atmosphere & service. Our server being a sommelier made the experience all the better. On the top of our St. Louis restaurants favorites, would highly recommend.
