Madeleine's Restaurant

Reviews & Tips

  Have been here a few times and only once was the food and service acceptable.
  It is always hit and miss. Food quality varies greatly from good to very bad. Service has always been a problem as well. One thing that is consistent is that the owner/chef should stay away from the clientele. He is obnoxious and condescending. Unwilling to accept that food and service is below par.
  A real shame that Evansville doesn't have any great restaurants. If you like overpaying for mediocrity and incompetent staff, by all means check this place out.

  Been here a couple of times.  Really the only nice restaurant in the city (unless you count the upper scale chains on the East side of town).  The food here is quality even if everything doesn't blow you away.  Last time were visited, the lobster mac n cheese was solid, the asian dumplings were excellent, and the quail was delectable.  But be aware the menu changes with the seasons.
  
  And to comment on another reviewer, they ask for reservations Hun, because that way they know weather or not you arrived!  If you asked for something special to go with your reservation they could fill your requests.  You know like a nice restaurant should.
  
  I've always had a good time here from top to bottom.

  We have been there 3 times now so i feel comfortable strongly recommending Madeleine's. The menu changes regularly and is always exciting to view. The seafood entrees have been excellent and the chicken and pork entrees as well.
  The staff is warm and knowledgeable about the dishes, offering suggestions.
  Ellen was fantastic and made our anniversary special. The wine and drink list is spectacular.

  had dinner there yesterday for the first time. dont like the location, its in a residential area a few blocks from the riverside.
  
  got there before 5pm and i believe we were their first customers that evening but for some reason they were out of rack  lamb, which by the way our server only mentioned 10 minutes after our order was placed. i ended up getting the veal chop and the wife had some fish on top of brown rice. we also ordered fried cheese and dumplings (really small portions for $10 a pop) for starters.
  
  its quite pricy and and food is ok but nothing spectacular in my opinion. i can think of a few other places in evansville where i can spend my $99 damage that evening and enjoy it more.

  We were thrilled to find Madeleine's stayed open for dinner after 9 pm! That's a plus in Evansville.
  
  The whole experience could be summed up as:  good, but not expert.
  
  For instance, I don't understand the point of asking if we had made reservations when 3/4 of the tables are empty.
  
  The seasoning on the entrees was a little off. The trout and black/red rice seemed to have no flavoring, whereas the rub on the pork chop was overstated. The rustic mashed potatoes - chunky, with skins - were delicious.
  
  Prices are a tad steep.
  Setting is charming.
