Madera restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the experience was flawless. At check-in, we were greeted by name and with birthday wishes--yes, I did provide our names and a picture in the reservation confirmation, but the personal touch still felt special. We were seated right away, and I was blown away by the personalized menu that said "Happy Birthday" on top--such a sweet gesture. The food was as fancy as it was delicious. I had a summer risotto that was bursting with flavor, while the birthday girl enjoyed a perfectly cooked Halibut. For dessert, we indulged in cheesecake and panna cotta. Of course, they added a candle to the cheesecake, making the moment even more special. What really stood out was the thoughtful touch of taking a Polaroid picture of us, which they presented in a lovely envelope with the date and the name of the restaurant--a keepsake we'll cherish. The service and staff were absolutely superb. They were attentive without being overbearing and made us feel completely welcome throughout the entire evening. Every interaction felt warm, genuine, and professional, adding to the overall magic of the evening. The ambiance was sophisticated, and we found ourselves surrounded by affluent diners, which gave the evening a bit of an "out-of-place" yet endearing feel. We had a few laughs about not quite belonging, but in the best way possible--it was a charming experience that made us feel special. We even made a promise to return again. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with personalized touches, exquisite food, and impeccable service, Madera is an absolute must.

Love Madera's new emphasis on "healthy" grain-free fresh and local foods. Beautiful outdoor dining patio. Must haves: Ora king tartare, lemon ricotta brioche French toast, burrata tomato peach salad, and summer corn risotto!

We have family dinner at Madera and everyone enjoyed the food here and served Nancy is very good service she is awesome restaurant is nice and clean we will be back again make sure you have to order their organic chicken

Great food, elegant restaurant! The restaurant is on the first floor of the Rosewood hotel. Went on a Sunday night and there are a lot empty tables - great for having a group convo! Everything is delicious - Sunday roast is $80 that comes with bread, salad, and a large slice of meat. Definitely more than enough for 1 person. The meat is so tender and flavorful! Scallop crudo is very fresh, and surprisingly goes well with passionfruit (?) sauce. The sweet-sour tastes opens up appetite and taste palette. Summer risotto tastes super good as well, and very filling. It was just a little over $100 pp post tax and tip. With this quality of food and environment, definitely not bad at all!

It's spendy! But a lovely experience in a beautiful ambiance. Food is excellent and you'll get a complimentary dessert if you're celebrating something. Views are outstanding and service is very professional.

Fancy restaurant inside the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park. Impeccable service, tasty appetizers and entrees. Had the burrata, scallops, New York strip, and halibut, and they were all delicious. Hope to return soon!

5 stars for gluten free tea. 4 for regular tea. The seating is casual-- low chairs and couches at low tables. That's not horrible but it was awkward at times and became uncomfortable. My food is veeeerrrrrry far away and I have to get up and down. The savory sandos were excellent. The fillings were all delicious. The scones were quite dry and crumbly. They came with clotted cream and an interesting compote. Sweets: I didn't really love any of them but neither were they horrible. They all looked pretty but the taste was such I only finished one. Also, some items had wet frosting and as there are no forks or serving utensils it was an unpleasant and messy experience to move it to plate. Then it needed the teaspoon to assist with eating which again is odd to have the one utensil doing all jobs. Tea: a small variety but good enough. They are served in a glass pot with removable tea strainer. They also give extra hot water to brew yourself more which we liked Each pot came partially filled with water but still it was more than could be poured into our rather small teacups so there is an issue with tea leaves becoming bitter. This was especially a problem with the jasmine. We removed the strainer as soon as it was served but still too bitter for a second brew. They serve honey, which is fine, and we asked for sugar. They have many dairy and non dairy milk choices The gluten free version was one of the best in the Bay. The desserts actually looked better than the regular tea offerings. The service was careful about keeping the gluten and gluten free separate Our servers were nice and tried hard. Bathrooms are upscale and clean-- 2 genders only Parking easy and free I don't think I'd go out of my way to come again but if I lived on the peninsula and needed gf I'd go again.
