Madera is a good 3-4 star place, I put it 3 instead of 4 because there were some issues that I don't think an establishment of this caliber should have.
My mum took me here for brunch after picking me up from the airport. We ordered the benedict and the persimmon salad. Both dishes were packed with flavor but small portioned. Places that are this fancy usually have this size portion so that was fine. The persimmon salad was bright and colorful, which just made me enjoy with my eyes before my tongue. What makes a benedict is the sauce and this one did not disappoint.
The issues I had with this place was not the food but with the server and plate, I received. It's not a deal-breaker but the plate had some food particles on it. Our server did a great job but spoke very softly that we could not understand them too well. I think the server's knowledge of the menu and wine was great but they could have just said anything softly and I would have just said 'ahhh' or 'thanks' to be polite.
Great decor and a wonderful patio view. Might go back someday but there are a lot of great options around and I'm not trying to eat with a dirty plate.
