It was fabulous to return to Madam! Excellent experience. Thank you to Michael for exceptional service! He was very attentive, kind, and helpful. I really enjoyed my French onion soup and Caesar salad. The salad was very crisp and fresh. We had the Burrata as our starter and it was beautiful. My friend enjoyed her lobster benedict. They offer a variety of lovely coffee and espresso drinks. I very much liked my hazelnut latte and a cardamom latte too. The atmosphere is lovely! I love all the art and modern decor. It's a bright space with lots of natural light. Relaxed vibes and we didn't feel rushed. Easy free parking on Sundays. There is a parking garage right around the corner. read more

We attended Easter Brunch, every person that worked here that we encountered was extremely friendly & pleasant. Brunch was fantastic, with a large plethora of options! The place is beautiful, and well maintained. They had the Easter bunny there, and caricatures available. There was a mix up with our bill, due to lack of communication on our servers end. We ended up being charged for a child's meal (we have a 6 1/2mo baby, under 2 is free) and gave an extra tip. We were not told there was automatic gratuity on the bill added already. (I've also never heard of auto gratuity on a bill for only two people.) However the manager Elaine handled the situation very graciously and corrected the issues without hesitation. We would return in the future based off how the situation was resolved! read more

Terrible terrible experience! Our bill was completely off and our server was trying to scam us. The food took over an hour to come out and let alone our drinks took 45 minutes to come out. The food once arrived tasting very undercooked and not seasoned well enough. I would absolutely never come here again or recommend this place to anyone. read more

NOT VERY WELCOMING FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR I want to begin by recognizing our server, Gary, who was truly wonderful. He was attentive, professional, and did his best to make us feel comfortable despite a situation that was clearly out of his control. His service was the only bright spot of the evening. Unfortunately, the overall experience at Madame in Birmingham was deeply disappointing and hurtful. As a successful woman of color dining with a group of other Black women, we were subjected to repeated racist remarks from other patrons. We were called "clowns," labeled "obnoxious," and even compared to being "part of a circus" simply for going to the restroom together -- something women commonly do. Hearing those comments while just trying to enjoy a meal was humiliating and upsetting. What made the experience worse was the feeling that this behavior wasn't being challenged. No one dining nearby spoke up, and it created an atmosphere where we felt isolated and unwelcome. Going out to eat should be an enjoyable, relaxing experience, not one where you have to brace yourself for disrespect because of the color of your skin. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've encountered uncomfortable or racially charged situations in this area, which made the situation feel even heavier. Still, I had hoped for better from an establishment like this. While Gary did everything he could on a personal level, the overall environment made it impossible to feel safe or valued as guests. Because of this, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant. No one should have to endure racism while simply trying to enjoy a night out. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Madam - New American Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We came here for a nice, relaxed dinner on a Sunday evening. It looked very slow as we entered at 6 PM but gained steam later. The room is just off the Daxton Lobby, and is very sophisticated, open, bright, and minimalist, with full windows all around. So much daylight on a summer night that it felt more like lunch. If you want clubby and intimate, you would be better off at Hyde Park. The food was very good. We had the smoked red pepper appetizer shared between the 3 of us, followed by mains--flounder, scallops and tortellini. All very tasty. Portion size on the smallish side, maybe to encourage soup/ salad courses that we skipped. We did share gellato for dessert. Drinks were also very good. Our server gently guided us past the house chardonnay to the Frank Family chardonnay by the glass. A really good decision and nicely handled. In general, service was the best festure of the restaurant. Attentive without hovering; friendly and chatty without being intrusive. Very very well done. Prices are kind of on the high side. That, combined with the light bright room with huge windows all around, make this a four, not a five. read more

I see that Madam at the Daxton has 3 1/2 stars on Yelp. It actually only earns the 1/2 portion of a star and that is for clean bathrooms. Everything from the cheap tables, no tables cloths, poor service, loud atmosphere and zero vibe left us so unimpressed that I would never go back nor would I recommend it to anyone. Did I mention the $30 valet charge?? Our waiter did not seem to understand how to bring out servings in the proper order or how to explain the items on the menu. One of the entrees had shrimp chopped so small that we were hard pressed to find them. The Chicken Paillard was too dry to eat. We were entertaining our son's future mother in law and could not have been more embarrassed by this experience. A total dud. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

While the food and the server were both acceptable, the overall service cadence was extremely disappointing. We were there for an hour and a half and had maybe three minutes of actual interaction with our server. After seeing multiple other tables left waiting for long stretches, we opted to skip courses entirely. The excuse of being "busy and understaffed" might work at fast food joints, but when you're charging premium prices, premium service should be expected. The food itself was fine, but nothing about it stood out enough to make the experience worth it. I left feeling underwhelmed, and unfortunately, I have no desire to return. This place may be highly rated, but my experience didn't live up to those expectations. read more

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. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night and they were not busy at all which is surprising because their food and drinks were delicious. Our favorite dish was the short rib pasta. We ordered a few apps that were also pretty good but we had ordered a steak as well that didn't come until 20 mins after we finished eating everything else and the server tried to say she was staggering the meal so each thing would come out individually even though she asked our preference and we told her we would be happy if everything came out all at once. The server came back maybe once to check on us and it took forever for her to come in and take our drink order and then our dinner order. Would have given them 5 stars if the service was better. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This is probably the best dining experience I've had in quite a long time, and I am a foodie (and blogger) who goes out to eat frequently. A friend and I wanted to meet up for dinner and she's in Shelby Township and I was in Farmington Hills this week. Birmingham is sort-of equidistant from the two of us, and I chose Madam, since it had been on my list for a while. It's located inside the Daxton hotel, which is very pretty and modern-feeling. The Daxton hotel is on Old Woodward kitty-corner from Adachi. When I arrived (a tiny bit late), my friend was already seated - the seats are kind of like long couches, almost, which was pleasant. Our waitress, Teal, immediately came over to ask if I'd like anything to drink, and I selected the Birmingham Bubble, which was gorgeous, and also very strong; I drank about 3/4 of mine but then had to stop so I could drive home later. For appetizers/entrees, we ordered: -Sourdough with cheddar cheese + chives butter: yes, they do charge for bread + butter, but this isn't your normal bread + butter ... everything there is made in-house, I believe, and the butter is seasonal. Literally my ONLY complaint about Madam is the bread was a bit hard to cut (not because it was hard, but just very doughy). -Bone marrow: My friend wanted to try this, and I took a few bites. It also comes with a tasty tiny pot of short rib. -We split both our entrees - the steak frites, medium rare, and the rapini pesto dish. The rapini pesto was very "earthy" or "herby," as my friend put it, and I liked it but it was not my favorite dish of the night, which was definitely the steak - it's brought out with some sort of semi-spicy tomato butter on top, a huge pile of French fries, and aioli for the fries. I'm a tough steak critic since I'm pretty good at cooking steak, and this was fabulous. -The chocolate dessert: I forget the name but it was basically a charcuterie board, but with different types of chocolate, and vanilla gelato. The chocolate is also made in-house, which really impressed me. Water refills were plentiful, also - perhaps even every 5-10 minutes - and our waitress was fantastic. The restaurant itself does not have a bathroom in that immediate area, but it was a 1-minute walk out to the hotel and around to the check-in desk area. Prices were on-par with the area - cocktails were $15-18 I believe, but honestly $36 for a well-cooked steak and a huge portion of French fries is not exorbitant. Desserts were a little pricey, most running around $20, and if you're budget-conscious, check out the pastas, which range in the mid-$20's. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, and I will definitely be back sometime soon. read more

Easter brunch at Madam was outstanding! It was our best Easter experience with a huge selection of delectable dishes, live band, sweet Easter bunny who posed for pictures of which we were given multiple copies, artists who created animal balloons and caricatures, beautiful decorations in every room and a coloring station. Our fifteen month old granddaughter was the Easter bunny's biggest fan and kept coming up to her for additional interactions. There were so many food choices that you couldn't try them all with its giant pink metallic bunny in the middle of the buffet. We had a table of 7 adults and 2 babies and couldn't be happier with our decision to spend Easter at Madam. We're hoping that our table next year will include more out of town family members after we tell them how wonderful our experience was! read more

Such a lovely, well positioned space in the heart of Birmingham. Door man greets one upon entry to the Daxon Hotel where Madam is nestled within its lobby. It's open, white walled with large works of art hung on its walls. We were seated immediately by the hostess at shortly after noon on a Sunday. It appeared no reservations were required. The wait staff were young, pleasant and efficient, but gave no further info about the beverages ordered, the food or any off menu items like specials. We received our beverages in lovely Riedels. I recommend their delicious Daxon Pinot Noir. Expect to pay at least $20/ glass for red wines. At this point the first of several fruit flies appeared. Surprising because we were no where near an open kitchen. My Shakshuka was spicy good. The toasted bread was laid within the bowl, so it was pretty soggy from the juices upon arrival. Perhaps, it would have offered a nice texture variant served separately. My companion enjoyed the Grilled Cheese and crispy seasoned fries. They were done just right! We finished our meal, and used the restrooms. Oh, dear. Seems no one attended to either single stall restroom we respectively used. My companion's toilet flushing mechanism worked, however there was no indication of where the mechanism was for previous user(s), so the bowl was full. Additionally, there was no liquid soap in the dispenser at all. My restroom had a soap dispenser that was full... of water. If their restroom maintenance and fruit fly situation is any indication of the management of the rest of the Daxon property, do not waste your hard earned dollars here. read more

Let's just say it was a day of celebrating and by chance, we ended up in Birmingham. We had planned to catch a movie at the theater close by and we had a few hours to spend hopping around. I love days like this, the unexpected, and it was exactly what I needed. I've been to this hotel quite a few times, but this was my first time at Madam. Located inside the chic, Art Deco Daxton, Madam is the pearl. Walking through the curtains, the hanging lights are mesmerizing. I just love the decor and overall layout of the space. The menu is unique and offers a variety of options for both Brunch & Dinner. My friend frequents the restaurant and suggested a few things I might like. We ended up splitting the Cobb Salad with grilled shrimp and some pasta. I absolutely loved the salad. The pasta was pretty basic for my taste, but it's pasta...so, you can't go wrong. lol My favorite cocktail was the Birmingham Bubbles. Everything about this drink was perfect. The Expresso Martini was dessert and it was strong and delicious. If you enjoy Martinis, they do an incredible job. I can't wait to come back and try the Brunch menu. read more

Reservations for 1. In town on business & a coworker recommended the Daxton. I was seated in the wonderfully ambient booth with a view of the entire room. Elise (unsure of spelling) was my server and she was just wonderful. She took such good care of me. My water was NEVER empty!?! So, what's the verdict? Hot or not? Birmingham Bubble: 10/10 sips this drink is dangerous! So light yet jam packed with a twist and a punch. Gin based. Winter Panzanella: 10/10 this beautiful salad came dressed for the event, sweet persimmon's neutral heirloom radish the tasty light refreshing dressing and the butter lettuce this is a fabulous starter. Sourdough: house made bread + butter !?! I'm not kidding 8/10 delicious tasty fresh the butter melted tasty. I took this to go to eat back at my hotel I kid you not! Tagliolini: 8/10 bites rich & savory pasta dish. The green tagliolini loaded with savory sausage, peppers, cheese is just a pasta dish to try if you're on the wild side. It is a filling plate large serving I would say this is good for sharing !? (It was a little salty) Madam: 8/10 the house drink, tequila based and potent. This was a good pour. This beverage has a cubed ice that did not seem to melt and water down my Bev!?! (but only 8 after having the Birmingham Bubble) Definitely Hot spot I can't wait to return!! I parked on the metered street parking as I was going for a walk but the hotel has valet. The restrooms are clean and the interior design is just breathtaking, have a seat at the adult playground/ Jungle gym-like geometric bar! The velvet seating at the entry is just so chic! read more

Madam exceeded all expectations! I knew it was going to be tasty but they knocked it out of the park for my belated birthday celebration! Kaylyn Johnston, the Assistant Manager, who helped me set details for the private dining room and menu (a pre-fixe menu needs to be selected in advance) was amazing. She was super patient with all my questions. There was also an attendee with a dining allergy, so I really appreciate how accommodating she was! The private dining room just has a $500 food & beverage minimum, which is not bad at all. They even print out special menus for you! With 8 people in the party, it was the perfectly sized space. We had the following deliciousness. Shout out to Brandon, our server, who did a phenomenal job! Appetizers (For Table) 1) Prime Beef Tartare - egg yolk, capers, chives, botarrga, english muffins, puffed tendon (DF) - everyone at the table LOVED this tartare. It was a bite of PERFECTION. 2) Chips & Dip (vegetable & rice chips, trout roe, crème fraîche, nori) - I couldn't get over how crispy and thin the vegetable & rice chips were. The roe & creme fraiche were delicious and so fancy! 3) Serrano Ham Fritters (18-month Manchego, quince preserves) - Another table favorite! What's not to like?! 4) Beet Hummus crudité, seeded crackers, savory cocoa nib crumble (DF) - I know beets are polarizing but everyone agreed that they really enjoyed it as it wasn't too earthy. The seeded crackers were also a marvel. Pastas (For Table) 1) Octopus Busiate (corkscrew pasta, grilled octopus, tomatoes, castelvetrano olives (DF by serving cheese on side)) - This pasta was SO special! Can't say I've had corkscrew pasta before so highly recommend! The grilled octopus was sliced very thinly so no scary tentacles! Loved the pop of savoriness from the olives. 2) Gemelli - (spring onion pesto, watercress, pecorino toscano, pistachio (DF by serving cheese on the side)) -- this pasta was ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL. My husband, who doesn't like pesto, even enjoyed this dish! The texture with the pistachio was a DREAM. I could eat bowls and bowls of this. Entrees (to pick) - My husband ordered the sea scallops and I ordered the wagyu so we could try both entrees: *Sea Scallops (asparagus, peas, morel mushroom butter (can be made DF)) - that perfect sear. The scallops were a good size maybe U-10 or so? Came with 4. We were already SO full from the apps & pasta so this was plenty of food. *Wagyu Strip Loin (spiced oxtail, bone marrow, sweet scotch bonnets (DF)) -- PERFECTLY medium rare and wonderfully seasoned. The marrow really added the savory/saltiness. Scrumptious. Sides (For Table) Snap Peas - honey mustard, horseradish (DF) - everyone loved the fresh grated horseradish on top! Marble Potatoes - spicy tofu aioli (DF) - I could NOT stop eating these crispy potatoes. Everyone marveled at how the aioli was spicy tofu-based! Desserts: *Manchego Cheesecake (poached quince, lemon verbena ice cream, rye crumble) -- probably my favorite of the two desserts! The manchego added an extra bit of savoriness to the cheesecake. I loved the rye crumble as I'm a crust kinda gal. *Dominican Chocolate Namelaka (sea buckthorn berries and sorbet, aerated chocolate) - really unique and not too sweet. The Namelaka was smooth and creamy and balanced really nicely with the bitterness of the seabuckthorn, which I've never had before. The cocktails were lovely as well! This place is POPPIN' - actually the entire DAXTON lobby area w/bar is so make a rezzie! read more

The dishes here look fantastic, nicely plated and so appealing. Don't use the directions from Yelp, takes you to Pontiac. It's south of Quarton / Big Beaver or 16 Mile road. There's DJ for the main dining area. Open until 2:30PM today, back open after 5PM. Reservations are booked until 7PM online. Bar area is open some and has a full menu at least. It's located inside of the Daxton hotel, on the corner of brown and old south Woodward. Seated at the open hexagonal igloo bad. Ordered breakfast pastries, breakfast sandwich with the chicken sausage, a crispy chicken sandwich. The caramel apple eclair was good, nice texture and flavor combination. The sunflower biscuit is super dry, desert dry. Had to eat the biscuit with some butter, which took a bit to come out. The orange cinnamon roll is also bone dry, not fresh today at all, dry and ready to be made into a French toast even. The frosting is decent. The top was the most edible part, although still bone dry. I see why Elaine was obsessed with the muffin tops now. The first butter ramekin had a single hair encircled around the ramekin top. Had to ask for another one. The eclair was the only pastry worth the price of admission. The crispy chicken was super flavorful, definitely crispy, crusty even, but the crusty crunch was more of a panko, not my favorite. The chicken breast meat was perfectly cooked, but fatty. The milk bread bun was decent. The breakfast sandwich was okay, egg was a nice fluffy square. There's a mechanical gold horse in the main lobby. Service was decent at the bar, food was very average to subpar for my expectations here in Bham. Bill was $39.22 for our below average brunch today. read more

So I have been here twice. The first time was okay. The service leaves much to be desired. It was food menu is very limited and some of the items are not available. The second time was even worse most of the items on the menu were not available. The had an even smaller menu. The server didn't even bring out half of our order. We found out after an hour they ran out of the items we ordered. We found that out from another server when we were trying to get our server. There were only 4 tables with customers and they didn't have enough tea cups for the 4 of us at our table. What does that say?! Are they going out of business. How do you not have enough food or tea cups?!!! read more

Went to brunch for a birthday and was less impressed with the service. The server took at least 10+ minutes before he greeted us as we joined our friends. Then it took an extremely long time to get our bloody marys. He was nice enough to have us sample the mix since we didn't want spicy but is just a little spicy itself but it took an extremely long time to get them. Our food was pretty good but based on the price and service I don't know that I'll be back. I couldn't believe the bloody marys are $17 a piece. I know it was a upper scale place but it definitely wasn't worth it. The decor in the lobby and restaurant was very nice. read more

Glad I finally made it here as it's been on my list for awhile! Beautiful decor, good service and pretty good food earns them a strong 4/5. It is beautiful inside and fairly quiet which I love! Our service was good, if I had to ding them it would be on the 'busser' as he was too attentive/constantly interrupting our conversation. I'd far rather have my water glass be half empty versus being constantly interrupted but I know others might feel differently about that, most people aren't like me! It's not cheap to eat here but that's to be expected based on the building and them being in Birmingham, but their prices were pretty in-line I'd say! Now to our meals--we shared their bianca pizza (white pizza w/ potato, garlic and pesto), it had a good flavor. We also got their forbidden rice which was my favorite as it had a good flavor. Their bravas fries were pretty basic but yet good. The menu is a bit limited by my standards, wish they had more salad offerings, more protein entrees and less carb filled options. I've heard they do a good brunch so I will definitely have to check that out! read more

So far, this was the best meal of 2021 for me. Our server, Jodie, was absolutely outstanding. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about each menu item. She made suggestions when appropriate as well. We started off with the burrata, the sourdough bread, the mushroom dumplings and the Bianca pizza and the tuna tartare. The burrata was my favorite. Many restaurants overdo burrata but they kept it simple and it worked really well. The pizza was the perfect amount of crisp and chewy. As for entrees, I got the summer special of corkscrew pasta with olives and grilled octopus. Our server told me that this pasta dish originated from a small town in Italy passed down through generations. The pasta was perfectly imperfect, meaning that you could tell it was not from a box. My boyfriend got the flat iron steak and it was incredible. He loves steak and he said this was the best flat iron steak he had ever had. From start to finish this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Birmingham. Our waters were never empty, the table was cleaned and new silverware was delivered between courses, the service was attentive but not over bearing and the food was AMAZING. read more

Menu looked amazing so I was excited to check out Madam while I was in town. Not pictured is the bottle of Chateau Graville-Lacoste Graves Blanc that we shared and thoroughly enjoyed. The ambience is great. Tucked away in the corner of the hotel, it blends right in. Took a second to find the entrance to the restaurant, but I was glad that it didn't stand out. The burrata dish was great. Would recommend getting that one. Loved the combination of flavors that the squash and pumpkin seeds added. It's not on the menu description but ours also came with delicata squash. The gnocchi was excellent as well. Sauce was mellow but tasty. Liked the combination of the gnocchi with the mushrooms and leeks. The Bianca pizza was possibly my favorite dish. The fried egg at the center was a great addition, and the crust was perfectly cooked. Didn't feel like anything was missing from the pizza even though it didn't have a traditional sauce. This was my first manchego cheesecake and it will not be my last. My grandmother was taken with this dish, and I can't blame her. Even though it used manchego cheese, it was still thick and still felt like cheesecake, but with an interesting twist. The traditional cheesecake crust was replaced with rye crumble, which paired well. I actually didn't even notice that the middle chunk was ice cream until near the end, but eating that with the cheesecake was delicious. Service was attentive, prompt, and helpful. No qualms with this meal. Can't wait to come back. read more

I've eaten here several times and they still continue to exceed my expectations. The appetizers are fantastic. Their chicken sandwich is an absolute favorite of mine. Their fish has always been fresh, perfectly cooked, and well presented. I tried their filet this week and it was outstanding. Great service is harder and harder to find, but Madam brings it every time. They have the whole package including a great bar and wine list. Madam has become a new favorite of mine. read more

The staff was very friendly. When we arrived they already had a table ready for us. We made a reservation through OpenTable. The inside of the restaurant was well lit and lots of natural light. The food was made fresh to order and delicious. No seasoning or added salt or pepper required. Good priced and a nice place for brunch with friends. Will be back! read more

Tucked away in the Daxton Hotel is this gem of a place that has the most exquisite burrata I've ever had. My friend and I visited for lunch after have a spa day at the Rivage (highly recommend - FYI. Best spa I've ever been to!) and Madam exceeded our expectations. We were greeted by a sweet and welcoming hostess who sat us promptly. The decor in the restaurant is modern and the seating is cozy. I instantly loved it. We looked over the lunch menu and decided upon the kimchi burgers, truffle fries, and charred burrata as an appetizer. The burrata blew us away! I've never had cheese so uniquely prepared before. Just the right amount of char added a smokiness to the cheese, and the balsamic vinegar drizzle along with the sweet corn relish and Roma tomatoes just elevated the entire dish to perfection. The kimchi burger was just ok - not something I'd write home about. But the truffle fries were amazing! Melt in your mouth goodness, and we gobbled every single piece up! All in all, a great first impression and I'd likely visit again. Just fair warning - it is PRICEY. A lunch for two came to about $112, so be prepared to spend a pretty penny but it'd be worth it. read more
