    Stopped by happy hour and loved their oysters! The oysters came with a pickled sauce and I was surprised by how well the combo worked because I've always had oysters with either cocktail or mignonette. Also tried their limoncello milk punch which was very good!

    Fries, smashed meatball parm
    Austin S.

    Been sitting on this review for awhile; but dang Bar Madonna was one of the best experiences I had in my recent trip to NYC. I had been seeing this smashed meatball parm burger and knew she would be perfect for me. She was. A light, soft bun beautifully caressed smashed meatball perfection. With the salty Parmesan crisp adding texture and some saltiness. The rich, marinara was seasoned to perfection with just a touch of sweetness to make the acidity in the tomato pop. Do not get me started on the fries. Garlic parm. Crispy. Oh lawd, they remind me of my favorite restaurant back home in stl. The vibes are delicate, in the sexiest way possible. Come here share an intimate celebration with your partner, or come catch up with a friend and drink 1 too many martinis. Either way, you'll receive unparalleled service. The bar tenders are slinging drinks mixed with liquor, camaraderie, and passionate smiles. What an absolute experience. This is added to the "special places in my heart" list

    Good date spot vibes with the lighting and nice interiors, but the music is pretty loud. Our waiter was kind and always checked in on us, so the service was great. Every item we got was VERY salty minus the Ossobuco Croquettes, which had a sauce that was really good! My friends tried the Limoncello Milk Punch and the Apollonia which they both thought were good. Would come back for the drinks, since that's what they're known for, but would definitely not order food again if it's that salty.

    Ambience is cozy & dim w 90s r&b/hiphop creating a warm vibe Our waiter Zach was super attentive and helpful! Drinks: Limoncello Milk Punch & Old Fashioned, both were strong and hit the spot Food: Brussel Sprouts & Housemade garlic truffle fries I'm a Brussel sprout lover and I will say they are on the salty side but so addictive. Fries were great!

    We just went for cocktails and oysters and had a great time! Tried 6 different cocktails here and a fruity shot and everything tasted great! This is a fun place to do a little happy hour/pre-dinner drinks. We also shared the oysters, which were fresh and great. The bartenders were so kind and easy to talk to. I had a great experience here! The place is a bit small, but clean and comfortable.

    Great drinks!

    Have been wanting to check this place out and so glad we came! We stopped by on a Wednesday around 6pm and got a seat at the bar. The bar tender was super friendly and walked us through the menu and gave great recs on what to order. We had two really interesting/delicious cocktails, some happy hour oysters ($9 for 6 and had a great sort of seasoning on top), and of course the meatball parm sandwich which came with fries and one of the bar tenders brought us over truffle aioli for them and wow it made a huge difference and was excellent. Def recommend and will be back!

    Reviewing mainly on the food. Tried both sandwiches, very tomato forward. Marinara sauce on the smashed parm was a tad too tart - texture of the patty was good. As for the chicken sandwich, chicken breast was too dry - didn't think the roasted tomato paired well. Entire restaurant also just smells like tart cooked tomatoes if that's your cup of tea ‍ Innovative burger, just not for me.

    I wouldn't have known about Bar Madonna had a friend not told me about his recent visit there, and I'm glad he did. What a gem! I was able to make a last-minute reservation for 2 on an early Friday evening. On the exterior, it's an assuming building with a small sign letting you know you've come to the right place. The interior - sleek and sexy! A perfect venue for a date night, or a cute ladies night out gathering. We were quickly greeted by the host who provided us with several options for seating. We were 2 of 5 people there at the time and chose a small booth table near the front of the restaurant. I'd strongly recommend reservations. There are about a dozen 2-seater tables and the spot quickly filled up shortly after our arrival. The menu features a small handful of options, mostly small bites, but there are enough options to satisfy various palates and preferences. We opted for the arancini (special of the day) and the smashed meatball parm which we shared. The arancini was good though one of the cheeses they included was a little too pungent. The meatball smash was absolutely all delicious and didn't feel too heavy. I'd highly recommend the banana bussdown cocktail. Very dainty, well balanced and packed a punch. Service was excellent; from the host to the bar and wait staff. They were all attentive, friendly and accommodating. I absolutely loved the vibes; and that hip-hop and R&B playlist was sublime. Kudos to the curator! Made me wish there was more room to do a little two- step. It's a fairly new spot, so hoping they're around for a long time to come.

    Some of the better bar food in the area. Good ambiance for drinks and service was fast/friendly. Would come back for the chicken sandwich. The fries needed just a tad more crisp/salt.

    This is a great spot with a great vibe. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area, delicious food & cocktails

    Octopus alla griglia
    Allison C.

    I raved about this place the first time around but this time was a total flop. Our main dish was missing for the better part of an hour, and every time we asked about it, they said it would only be a few more minutes. The smashed meatball parm sandwich was missing a lot of sauce and tomato flavor, and the Caesar salad was incredibly underdressed. It was also so loud the server couldn't hear us without shouting, and having a conversation was a mission. Wouldn't come back after this experience

    Solid meal with good service! Restaurant was a vibe and had great music playing. Favorite was the smashed meatball parm -- MUST get this!! Steak with fries was good as well but overly salty. And unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of the caesar salad.

    Gemma's Sauce and Fluke Crudo
    Cathy L.

    Bar Madonna is gorgeous and the vibes are spectacular. The drinks are strong and delicious. The staff is kind, beautiful and perfectly Brooklyn. But the food is not there yet. We came in for date night dinner and shared the fluke crudo, grilled baby romaine, octopus and the smashed meatball parm. The smashed meatball parm was great but everything else left more to be desired. To be blantly honest, the octopus should be avoided, it was salty and the presentation kind of gross. We love octopus and it's a must order for us when we see it on the menu so it was sad that it was such a miss for us. Look, we will be back for drinks at the bar and to stare at the pretty people but it might be some time before we are back for a full meal.

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
