Stopped in on a whim Valentine's day weekend. The place was packed but the staff was very gracious and found us a table quickly and with no issues. The meal was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and did slice like warm butter. Our wait staff was professional and friendly. Perfect for a Valentine's day date night, if you are looking for that or any special occasion. They even do wedding receptions. One was going on in the downstairs banquet room that night❤ Even if you are not looking for a romantic dinner, this is truly a central coast landmark that can't be missed!

We come down from the Bay Area just for the Madonna Inn! Service was great as always, made our anniversary feel special and everything was tasty! My husband got the prime rib and I got the rib eye, we both had leftovers. The decor is always great but the Valentine’s Day decor was extra cute!

Celebrating my birthday here was a fantastic experience! We made dinner reservations online in advance and were able to modify the time with no difficulties whatsoever. Our server Riley was wonderful. He was patient, attentive, and quick, especially working with a party of ten. The warm bread was delicious before our meal. I had ordered the fried chicken which was super hot and crunchy, loved it! I also sampled the swordfish, I would say it needs less cooking and more acidity or salt. Then we ended the night with the Pink Champagne cake. A cake that I would be ordering to go when we check-out in the morning, it really stands up to it's tasty reputation. I would love to come back here for more celebrations. Amazing ambience, beautiful decor, and a wonderful dining experience.

We had such a fantastic experience here! The decorations add an outstanding amount of character to the room, and it made me feel like I was transported to a totally different time period. I had ordered the rib eye steak, which was cooked exactly the way I like it and it tasted amazing! The portion sizes are also very generous, so be sure to arrive with an empty stomach.

First time visiting. The restaurant was eccentric yet beautiful. The staff was great. There was a live band and dancing. The food was divine, and the drinks were delicious. I don't care for desserts, but I had to try the Pink Champagne cake. It was a hit. We will definitely be returning.

Ate here for both my and my fathers birthday. Enjoyed the energetic atmosphere with our friends while having drinks and appetizers. The Pink Cloud drink is Heaven! Enjoyed the prime rib, salmon and halibut as several of the main courses we had. All were superb! And of course, the cakes were divine. Really had a wonderful time on a Friday night and this special place!

Came here for dinner for a Birthday and it was great! I'm a vegan, the only vegan in my group lol and the Steakhouse was able to accommodate me. They have a portabello dish on their menu and without cheese it's vegan. I got a side salad before hand that was included with the meal, their balsamic was delicious. They serve complimentary bread rolls and a cheese, veggie plate with the bread. The portabello dish had a really good smoky flavor, served with griled tomatoes, sugar snap peas and a baked potato with chives and olive oil. So good! The rest of the group got steak, lobster etc they all said it was delicious. Definitely going back. We brought our own cake for the birthday, they brought it out and allowed us to take pics then took it back and cut it up for us. Then they boxed it for us, amazing service! I also had a cocktail, the cool as a cucumber, it was really refreshing. They have live music at 7 p.m. and a dance floor.

🌟𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝕄𝔸𝔻𝕆ℕℕ𝔸 𝕀ℕℕ🌟 •••𝚂𝚊𝚗 𝙻𝚞𝚒𝚜 𝙾𝚋𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚘,𝙲𝙰••• ° Built in 1958 By Alex and Phyllis Madonna, the Madonna Inn is an exceptionally bizarre Swiss Alps-inspired hotel and restaurant that seems to celebrate all that is garish and tacky in human taste. The Madonna Inn consists of 109 lavish rooms, all with different themes and names to match: Floral Fantasy, Jungle Rock, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Whispering Hills, to name a few. No two rooms are the same. All the colors of the rainbow are employed, but pink is most notably favored, especially in the unusual rosy lobby dining room, furnished with bright pink booths to match the light pink tablecloths. Even the sugar on the tables is pink. Fun place to visit for sure and relaxing. I love how every detail has been taken care of

Yes, some of you will disagree giving the restaurant five stars, but I'm not a Michelin Star rater. Instead, I take into consideration the memorable, shockingly pink upholstery and golden clad cherubs as a means of getting me out of my head and into just enjoying the experience. The food is pretty good, too, and I'm willing to go out of my way for a slice of pink champagne cake. When in Rome....

What an amazing experience. The dining room is astonishing and a riot for the senses. The steaks were all superb and they accommodated gluten free options with ease. A live band, dancing, great cocktails and good wine recommendations - just perfect.

Great place to eat. The atmosphere is what makes it worth it. We went at 8:30pm and someone was playing folk music. It was great to see some people dancing on the dance floor. I would definitely come back. The only think I disliked was the shrimp cocktail. The sauce was like eating Wasabi. I'm used to the tomatoe sauce with cucumber and other veggies. This was completely different. My wife had some alfredo pasta and she liked it. The waiter also brought us a piece of cake and a balloon since it was our anniversary. That was a very nice touch for a nice dinner.

Absolutely amazing 👏 great hospitality. The manager was really nice, very professional. Check our table, making sure everything was good. We enjoyed our time here. The temperature on my ribeye was perfect. The swordfish was delicious as well as the chicken pasta. Griffin, our waiter, did an excellent job. The boss boy Daniel constantly refills our waters and pick-up plates ASAP. I was really happy with the attention. It is impressive to see how organized they are. Great team work!! It's definitely worth it, stopping by this unique and beautiful restaurant.

I made a reservation 1 week in advance. I was able to adjust the quantity of people twice. I ordered the cake, [Famous Pink Champagne flavor], and they were able to serve it for our desert. The drinks were wonderful and the food was delicious. Luckily, the day we reserved, there was a love group. We were celebrating my niece's sweet 16, and the group played a special song so she could dance with her father. They night went so smooth, it was so memorable that I couldn't have asked for the night to be better. The service was wonderful, and the ambiance so fitting for the occasion even though it was a regular night for them. Thank you, Madonna Inn.

Holy moly, what an experience! We stayed at the inn and made a reservation in advance for this world-famous steakhouse, and we were beyond impressed. The atmosphere is so whimsical & beautiful. The service was fabulous, and the food was delicious. You must try one of their signature drinks and the steak & lobster with a loaded baked potato. ALSO, save room for dessert - or take one to go - because the pink champagne cake is incredible. There was live music and dancing. It was a magical evening and I can't recommend this place enough!
