Madeline's Restaurant & Wine Cellar

"Madeline's Restaurant is a small venue, but the food more than makes up for the lack of space, it was delicious! Service was okay this time, hopefully it was just my mood. It's definitely a must visit place when in Cambria."

"Food was ok. One of our dishes was overly salty and the mustard/white wine sauce on the rack of Lamb was a miss. The duck breast was cooked good but under seasoned. Champagne was good but they never came to pour our glasses. I think that's a management training problem. The ambience is good. One note, the wine list is excellent. Great mix of local wines. Would we go back? Only after trying other restaurants in town."

"My husband and I had dinner at this little gem on Christmas night. They were packed, so service was naturally a bit slow, but the wait staff was friendly, genuine and clearly hustling as fast as they could. This restaurant is just what a local fine dining establishment should be, with a cozy atmosphere and utterly delicious food. My husband had the baked Brie and I had the house salad to start. The greens tasted as if they were freshly picked and the dressing was as perfectly balanced as you’d expect from a French bistro. I had the stuffed chicken breast — it was one of the best chicken dishes I’ve had at a restaurant."

"Madeline's Restaurant & Wine Cellar in Cambria provides a warm atmosphere, cozy hospitality, and polished service. The restaurant serves homemade French/American cuisine as well as an array of international flavors made from farmers' market fresh ingredients. The menu changes seasonally, but you can expect to find fresh seafood, locally sourced meats, and vegetarian dishes. Our meal started with some bread and cheese. The bread was soft and easy to break. The cheese was not the easiest to spread, but it was delicious. My friend and I split one serving of their daily special soup (tomato basil soup). The soup was a bit watered down but very flavorful. My friend tried their Louisiana seafood gumbo. Seafood was fresh, but the gumbo was a bit salty. The portion size was decent. I got their Lamb Sirloin. Lamb was cooked nicely, but it was mostly bland because the chimichuri sauce was very watered down and barely stayed on the meat. Mashed potatoes were okay; a bit chunky and not as creamy. The service was fast. Our server was very good and attentive. If you are in the Cambria area, then it's worth checking out this place."

"We went here twice in the weekend, had fine Duck breast, terrine, and sausage, eggplant bruschetta, and fish well presented, and a very nice coastal wine"
