We were with a group of 14 for lunch and found the service to be excellent and the food to be mostly enjoyable with only a few misses. The truffle fries are worth the trip!! The building has been beautifully re-done and the setting is so beautiful we would like to return for an overnight stay. Give it a try.

Unlike previous reviewers, i had a really pleasant experience at the hotel. The space is beautiful and they are putting out top notch food. I'm not a big fan of really bad reviews just because 99% of them are fraudulent and the reviewer usually has a bone to pick with the establishment. Let's state the facts: -Yes, the place is... More

After waiting more than 15 minutes for someone just to clear a table in front of us, we finally got seated. Then we waited 20 minutes for a waiter to appear and they did not, so we just left; in spite of the clueless manager walking past us quickly twice and never asking how we were doing. Staff milled about... More

We went to the hotel 2 weeks after they opened. My son and I got sick over the seafood we ordered. He ordered lobster which was one of 2 most expensive items on the menus over $50 for a boiled lobster with a cup of butter. I had a hawaiian fish which the manager said was fresh from hawaii and...

We attended a banquet for our church teen and college age group at the Madison Beach Hotel last night. It's situated right on the shore of Long Island Sound, with lovely lawns, beach and shore rock outcroppings. (great for pictures) The public areas of the hotel are elegant and all decorating choices and finishes are flawless. I would expect that... More

Attended a Wedding, When they got to out table they ran out of food. They had to "improvise" UNBELIEVABLE and INCREDIBLY IGNORANT. I told the head person that "I Never" in context to the blatant lack of ordinary care and planning..his response.."And You Probably Never Will".

Recently attended a wedding that was fabulous. The hotel rooms were not yet ready but the ambiance for the wedding, the location, the wonderful staff all laid the roadmap for me to want to come back for the full experience when the Grand Opening occurs.

A simple and charming old fashioned hotel. Quiet and understated. This is really like having you're own beach house. You can't beat the view. Every room is beach front for basically the same rate. Nowhere else have I ever found this. I've gone the past two summers and look forward to it every year. Will miss it next year, for... More
