On my recent visit to Cambria I tried out several restaurants and this was by far the best one! My friend and I split a golden beet salad (fabulous!) and the salmon cakes (amazing!). I had the stuffed chicken breast which was cooked perfectly and came with the delicious sides of scalloped potatoes and veggies. My friend ordered the lamb... more

Its amazing! They have really marvoulous food. I had the filet mignon cooked perfectly at medium rare and my friend had the halibut. Everything was flavorful and delicous. Our server recommended wine to go with our meal and we enjoyed it so much we bought a bottle. Next time we're in Cambria we'll be sure to come back for another... more

I always qualify my review by stating where I'm at... It's Cambria so I'm not expecting SF or NYC quality meals... That said, Madeline's is a very nice mom & pop bistro with pleasant & attentive service and a solid reasonably priced menu & wine list. We started with the duck won-tons. They were tasteless and frankly... bad. They should... more

Originally, I was planning on trying Black Cat Bistro and Robin’s, but that was before we checked into the Blue Dolphin Inn and got the half-off any bottle of wine coupon for Madeline’s. We are so glad we changed our minds because Madeline’s was great. We ate there both nights we were in Cambria. The standouts: chicken stuffed with walnuts,... more

Went with 10 friends. Everyone was very pleased with their meal, the service and atmosphere. The preparation style had an obvious French influence, the portions were large and very tasty. The restaurant is proud of its fresh ingredients and use of local products wherever possible. Salad greens grow in the planters in front of the building. Wines were interesting, and... more

It was a first trip to Central Coast, we did dine out to Madeline's recommended by concierge at our hotel. The ambience was cozy,romantic cute restaurant. Food was exellent all the way from appetizer to dessert. I think the chef was French cuisine expert, because sauce were so good. Not too many restaurants satisfy our spoiled palet, but we graded... more

We had a very nice meal at this small restaurant in Cambria. Our table was not ready when we arrived and since there is no place to sit inside the restaurant and it was cool outside, the hostess suggested we wait at a nearby bar and she would fetch us when our table was ready. The restaurant was full and... more
