Where is the Best Wine List in Salt Lake City, Utah?
My guest and I both ordered the filet mignon and we weren’t disappointed. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Other reviews complained about how their meat was cooked. If you pay attention to the guide that is in the menu, you get your meat cooked the way you like it. If you order based on the “typical” scale, your meat will probably be cooked less than you like (i.e. medium rare in most restaurants leaves a little pink….medium rare at Fleming’s leaves some red). The taste of the food was excellent. The restaurant is pricey though. Sides are not included with the meat, so it is easy to ring up a tab that is over $100. That does not include the wine.Pros + Great taste, great serviceCons – Pricey, noisy if you are going for the romantic ambience
Expensive but good, my tuna was great. My boyfriends lobster was amazing! However $40 for a lobster tail is a lot. I’ve been to restaurants around the same $$$ and liked them better…I guess I just wasn’t that impressed. Service was good though…my boyfriend liked it… it’s not a place that I would go to again and to me it didn’t live up to it’s reputation. However, I didn’t dislike it..
As many of you know, the only way to make a reservation at this restaurant during “off” hours is to leave a discrete and detailed message on their answering service. Which is fine…if the employee receiving the messages is able to reach the potential patron whom has left said message. Upon arrival to Cafe’ Madrid we were infomed that we did NOT have a reservation in their ledger. Fortunately, the employee who could not reach me wrote my name and number in a different ledger which she produced as I was trying to negotiate a table with the host. Even with the mix-up, we were seated fairly soon. Delightful was our experience. The food was only outdone by the service. Our future dining experiences at Cafe’ Madrid will undoubtedly be just as nice and will include, my favorite, Paella. Which, according to the waiter, is available if you call ahead!
