Madeline's is what Lee Restaurant could be if it wasn't so muddled in mediocrity. Chef Susur Lee creates a refined French Bistro Infusion style to Madeline's that is sure to impress your out-of-town guests.
It's a twist on traditional French faire that is really fun to experience with a party of three or more. Because there are so many interesting variations, you want to experience it with a number of epicureans at once. The portions are perfectly sized and the staff really know their stuff. The wine list is excellent, with a bin-end offered for some great deals.
Given the choice between Lee Restaurant and Madeline's, the latter shall always prevail.
