If you're close to Cambria this is the dining experience you have been waiting for as it is the best. I drive from El Segundo to Cambria just to have dinner at Madeline's once or twice a year. David's recipes, sauces etc are superb. All items prepared to perfection. Service out front is superb. Stuffed pork chop is huge but... More

We enjoyed a lovely French meal at Madeline's. It's not too fancy inside, more like a quaint neighborhood bistro. The service was pleasant and accommodating. Net, net, much better than what I expected for the area.

My husband and I were celebrating my birthday this past week and chose a table by a window for our dinner that evening. There is a table on the front patio right outside the window but we doubted that that would be a problem. When we arrived no one was seated outside. Soon a couple with two dogs sat down... More

Madeline's has a nice menu with excellent appetizers that can make a meal. There is a broad wine list. Reservations are a must.

We always come to Madeline's for our anniversary dinner. We always reserve a table by the window when you enter, very romantic. Everything about this restaurant is top notch; from the staff to the atmosphere. My husband had the Rack of Lamb with veggies. I had the Stuffed Chicken Breast with Brie and Au Gratin Potatoes. Who doesn't love Au... More

After not being able to get in to a restaurant near where we were staying, we spotted Madeline's and decided to give it a try and we are so glad we did! There were 4 of us and we were seated in a small, cozy table right near the front door. It was very private and comfortable. The server was... More

A great place for dinner! Very friendly staff. Make reservations before you go, it can be busy. A must try is the cherries jubilee and the bananas foster!

Top-notch filet and a nice selection of starters on the menu. It was a slow Sunday evening, but the show went on as if we were the regular crowd. Crab-lobster crab cakes were tasty and a special treat. Fresh cherry pie and an outstanding homemade raspberry ice cream topper was terrific. We'd stop in again!
