    Crab Salad
    AJ M.

    Madam is located inside the Daxton hotel. It was quite an upscale atmosphere (very well kept). The service was fantastic! The flavors in the food were perfectly balanced and definitely not something you'd taste at your neighborhood Chili's.

    The ambience at Madam is beyond compare. Very opulent from the drinking glasses to the silverware. The food was delicious-much improved than when we first visited. Service was attentive, friendly, and very efficient. Loved the birthday celebration cake

    Our first visit was for their Thanksgiving buffet ... and we had a 2-Star experience. The recurring problem was running out of various items. Examples: - Seven of us waiting for empty plates to begin the buffet. Staff did not notice. When I brought it to their attention, she returned with three plates for seven people. - Squash soup was oddly seasoned. I was among the majority that did not finish it. - Out of spoons at the soup station. - Mixed greens salad was down to scraps - Corn casserole, empty. - Dressing was kind'a hidden, not a featured dish and easily missed. It had cooled and dried out. - Turkey that was being carved was down to a small-ish lump and as dried out as the Sahara. - When it came time for dessert - pecan pie and carrot cake was MIA. Apple pie was unremarkable. - Quartet had a good mix of music, but was too loud for me. Will I return? Not for a buffet, but I am willing to given the restaurant another chance. FWIW; the culinary dept at Henry Ford Community College had a better buffet and service for 20% of what I spent at Madam.

    The ambiance was nice; quiet and chic. The service was okay. She was dry and just not interactive enough for a waitress. The food was really good. I ordered the omelette and added peppers, mushrooms and chicken sausage...amazing! The mushrooms were delicious and the sausage very tasty. The sourdough toast was also delicious. My girl had the burger and she stated it was good. Seasoned and nice flavor.

    We've come here for both dinner and brunch and each time it has been amazing! I love the delicious food here and they have such an amazing variety. I also really enjoy the cocktails which if you don't have time to dine in, you can just stop over at the beautiful bar. There's a lovely ambience in the restaurant and it's perfect for celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a good meal with friends and family. The service is fantastic and I look forward to going back soon!

    The large, seared scallops with pumpkin mousse and Brussels sprout leaves were exquisite.

    I have not dined in downtown Birmingham for years now, spending time with friends either in Detroit or at restaurants closer to home. So it was a treat to make my way to Birmingham, a stop on my way to Somerset. It has been so long that even the Daxton Hotel, in which Madam is situated, did not exist when I was last here. The spacious restaurant is beautiful, almost a continuation of the lobby, although the space is clearly marked off. I loved the two-story ceilings, light fixtures, and furnishings. The restaurant was empty when I got there but filling up by the time I was done with the menu. I liked that the menu contained some distinctive items, including Forbidden Rice, muhamarra, beet tortellini, and salmon risotto, allowing us to discover new flavors. For the starter, I went with an appetizing mushroom ravioli, served with chili oil and pea leaves. I also had the seared scallops, served on pumpkin mousse, both of which were delectable. I generally don't comment on prices. However, the prices here are much higher than expected, even for a higher-end hotel. Service was friendly and professional.

    I read this place was voted restaurant of the year for 2023. So, I decided to check it while in the Detroit/Birmingham area. The ambiance is very artistic and modern at the same time. I haven't quite seen such an upscale restaurant in this area. To be fair, not like I was really looking for an upscale restaurant in this area. That part. The food was delightful. Cocktails were standard but the bar area was sexy, so I guess you can say that I had a standard sexy cocktail. Service was attentive and overall made for a very nice experience. Cheers!!

    Mushroom dumplings

    We finally visited this restaurant located inside the Daxton hotel. Booked an open table reservation for our anniversary. The decor is incredible. Take time to walk around the hotel. It's meant to be a work of art and gallery like. Our server was very sweet and attentive. She mentioned the menu changes and on our visit there weren't many (any) vegan entrees. We made advanced reservations on open table and notated being vegan asking if the chef would accommodate. She was able to have the kitchen make cavatelli pasta with tomato sauce. It was good and vegan, but nothing special. We ordered two appetizers prior: muhamara and mushroom dumplings. Both of those were very good and unique in both presentation and flavor. In addition, we ordered drinks. The subourbon and lavender lady. Both were nicely presented but slightly sweet. We skipped dessert as there were no vegan options. The vibe is upscale and the seating options are fun with benches to couches and chairs. It's not a small restaurant, but not cavernous. Lowly lit and feels intimate.

    I came here because it was a friend of mine's special day. We were warmly greeted by the valet service who properly took our car and parked it. When coming inside the restaurant area you will forget that this is also a hotel lobby. We made our way to the to check in for our reservation and we were told we had a few minutes before our table was ready. Once seated, we were quickly greeted by our waitress and took our drink orders afterwards she took our food orders and we waited. Usually at restaurants your drink comes first. However, since they were very busy, our food came before our drinks did. But when I received my meal, it was the wrong order. Once I told him this is not what I ordered they looked at me crazy. Five minutes later, the waitress realized she put in the order wrong. 20 minutes later I receive my right food. I order the bistro steak. The steak was cooked well, but however, it lacked flavor. There was no seasoning whatsoever on it. The french fries were very good but the zip sauce that came with the steak also lacked flavor. However, the calamari was very good, and my friends stated that her spicy chicken slider was very good also. However, I will come back to this location to try other things on the menu and also because the ambience is beautiful.

    Cesar salad with Parmesan
    Nathalia C.

    The service was excellent. They make sure you receive a fine dinning experience. From cleaning your bread crumbs to refolding your napkin when you leave your table. The food was well balanced and well portioned. The flavors of black rice dish hit the spot. It had the perfect amount of spice. I also ordered a cesar which was interesting to eat since it wasn't precut. This made the salad taste more fresh than others I've had. I guess the reason why I don't give this place five stars would be the pricing. A bit high for the type of plates offered but definitely a good place to visit at least once.

    Daxton lobby
    Carolyn E.

    This is such a beautiful restaurant space and so is the Daxton Hotel - the lobby and bar are quite stunning and it's styled so beautifully. Service was excellent - we even showed up 30 minutes late for our Sunday brunch reservation, but because I had called and spoke to them, they were ready for us when we arrived to a packed house at 1pm. The dining room is full of light - it's just lovely in the Winter to get a bit of sun in Michigan! The menu isn't super exciting - basic brunch faire - but the food was excellent. Particularly, the serrano ham fritters were just delightful - order them for the table. Piping hot and just delicious. I had the basic French omelet and bacon - perfect. I will say that they don't seem to be real up on their coffee game - a couple of us ordered lattes and they were definitely just coffee and milk. Fine, just not what we were expecting, and it would be nice to order a fancier coffee if you're not drinking alcohol at brunch. The cocktails looked quite good though. A very good experience and we will return.

    I've been trying to explore the food in Birmingham a bit more since it's so close to home. Madam has been on my radar for a little while. We decided to go here for a date night on my birthday. Service was absolutely stellar. Our waitress was so attentive, thoughtful, and kind. She offered great insights into the menu and provided helpful recommendations based on our preferences. The food was excellent. Based on other reviews, we went with the dumplings and forbidden rice for appetizers. Neither disappointed. I want to try more of the menu on our next visit but it will be difficult not to order these again The atmosphere was great - very warm, modern, inviting, and felt high end without being too much. I went in jeans and a nice sweater and I didn't feel underdressed. The only real disappointment was the drinks. They were nothing special and in my opinion quite overpriced for what they were. We will definitely be back!

The menu is not lacking in options, with pretty much all the types of items you would expect from an upscale establishment. The oysters were so fresh, the harissa shrimp was outstanding, and my lamb chops were cooked to absolute perfection. We shared a lot of items, so we got a good idea of what this place offered and I don't think anyone in our party were disappointed. We ended up splitting the bill evenly between all of us and were surprised that we didn't spend more money.

I didn't personally care about this, but I definitely noticed my party getting a bit frustrated by the experience as it happened about 4 times before we officially got seated, which also exceeded our initial reservation time.
