Everything was absolutely perfect. The drinks were delicious and perfectly made . Our governor server for dinner was incredibly professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We started with appetizers. I had the blue point oysters that were fresh and absolutely delicious. My partner had the beet salad with orange sections and again it was delicious. We shared a pasta dish with broccoli rabbi and sausage.,  again it was outstanding. We also shared the pork Oso, Bucco ; delicious!! The food, service and ambience are all so perfect!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and the team at Maddy Rose made sure we felt special. From accommodating us with a table with a great view, to our server Anthony being every bit the professional, and to the amazing cocktails and food, we had a wonderful experience. After dinner we went outside to enjoy the beautiful NYC downtown view on a nice clear night. Everything was perfect.

Varied brunch menu is flavorful. The 3 eggs Benedict choices are delicious with a choice of fries or salad. Early afternoon was quiet, but weekend evenings are usually lively and occasionally noisy with live music and good vibrations. Food is well prepared, presented simply and delicious. If one can get to dessert, the choices are very tasty. Menus are seasonal but will always have the neighborhood favorites.
