On Thanksgiving 2023, my Husband, Father and I ventured out to a different restaurant in Birmingham thinking it would be open. It was closed. I hopped on Maps and tried to find another restaurant open at 6:15 pm. Saw Madam was and immediately became excited because it's been on my list of Metro Detroit restaurants to try. I called and spoke to their lovely and amazing host Bianca. She was absolutely divine with her customer service. She said they were open and to come on over. If I thought Bianca was wonderful on the phone, she far exceeded our expectations in person when we arrived. Even in the middle of dinner when I asked where the restrooms were, she promptly began walking me towards where they were located. Not only is Bianca beautiful on the outside but she is on the inside. The entire team was wonderful and accommodating with any requests. My family and I sat near the window and enjoyed a lovely experience. Our food was PERFECTION! Highly recommend their mushroom dumplings! I'm dreaming of that dish! What's funny is a few days later, my Father was sharing our experience along with pictures and video to my Sister who lives in Vegas and has been apart of MGM Corporate for 25+ years in HR. She has been to thee most exquisite restaurants they offer in America. Now she wants to eat at Madam next time she is in town. To me that is impressive and a compliment because she is a stickler and difficult to please. The decor was innovative and lovely. Truly enjoyed all the unique artwork. The single restrooms were spacious and clean. Menu is definitely on the pricey side. Ordered Aquapanna and it was $10!!! I've never seen it higher than $6. Other than that, I'm looking forward to trying more of their lovely cuisine. Definitely a must try!

I live in town and really wanted to like this place. I came here with a friend visiting from New York as it seemed like a special place based on the menu and seasonal concept. I had made a reservation and we were seated promptly. The decor is stark but impressive. Our server introduced herself and began describing the menu. Suddenly she excused herself mid-sentence and ran out of the restaurant. We assumed she was sick. When she returned, she went to two other tables before coming back to us, which was incredibly strange. When she returned to our table, she proceeded to describe every single dish in detail, which was unnecessary and we were getting hungry at this point.

The food began to arrive and the presentation was great on most dishes and impressive. The bread and burrata was not great. It lacked flavor and the homemade bread that the server hyped up was stale. My octopus and cacio e pepe was beautifully plated. The octopus was cooked well but the pasta was really over seasoned to the point where I didn’t eat it. My friends fish dish was under seasoned and the plating was messy. The dessert, Milk and Honey, was by far the best part. It was beautiful, unique and was delicious!

Throughout dinner, someone kept trying to take our plates away before we were done and the server seemed irritated that we were taking so long to eat, which was ironic considering it took her so long to let us order. She had a condescending tone every time she came to our table, like we were irritating her asking for another glass of wine or the dessert menu. Meanwhile, someone was dragging black garbage bags on the floor from the bar through the restaurant, which really threw off the ambiance. You’d think they could just keep the garbage up front until service was complete or find a different solution where it wasn’t going past customers at what is meant to be a fine dining experience.

Overall, I would not return for dinner. Maybe I would give Madam another shot for brunch. I saw some patrons getting the same dishes in the lounge area but the hotel entrance. I would for sure come back just to get a drink and the Milk and Honey dessert at the lounge where hopefully you didn’t have to interact with the servers as much.

Wow, where do I start? My husband and I both share early November birthdays, so we wanted to go to a nice dinner and celebrate. We selected Madam and it was quite possibly one of the best choices I’ve made yet.
From the delectable food (beef tartare, mushroom dumplings, risotto & waygu steak), to the cocktails - it was out of this world good.
I also cannot go on enough about how great the service was. Jodi took care of us and when I say the service was good, I really mean it was on another level of excellence. Absolutely STELLAR.
She was there when we needed, and didn’t hover when we did not. We went on Nov 4th, and my husband and I are *still* talking about how awesome she was and how she and the rest of the staff made our birthday dinners an amazing experience. We got to meet the absolutely fabulous chef who went above and beyond to make our meal one for the ages.
I know I’m gushing, but this restaurant is well worth the praise I’m heaping upon them.
If you have the opportunity to go here - DO IT!

First off the atmosphere is beautiful. Was quickly seated. I advise to make reservations. our waitress was Jodi. She was amazing! She did such a good job at dietary restrictions explaining the menu from top to bottom. Just a great experience all the way around the food is to die for. Such amazing quality. Everything was delicious. So worth visiting. If in town or a local!!

Madam of Birmingham is definitely a vibe✨
I went for lunch with my brother and had an amazing experience

He ordered the Madam Burger with their house fries which are perfect.

I had the grilled salmon sandwich. Now I’ve never had salmon on a bun so it was different for me but I did enjoy it. This was accompanied by house fries topped with freshly shaved truffles. Overall I’d give my meal a 8/10.

But the drinks y’all 🤤
I went for lunch so we did the breakfast cocktails and I’m so glad we did!

I ordered the Morning Spritz which was cool. But the star of the show is the Bourbon for Breakfast. I don’t even like Bourbon but I would go back just to have that drink. It is amazing. 11/10 A must try!

My ONLY negative about this restaurant is that the servers don’t seem to be well versed in the menu. The last time I went I asked what AGLIO E OLIO was and the server literally said she didn’t know.

I’ve been here several times, brunch and dinner. Grabbed brunch this morning, everybody seemed to enjoy what they ordered! My guests got two eggs any style, breakfast sandwiches, and an omelette I believe. I personally got the avocado toast with a scrambled egg and it was delicious. I also ordered a vanilla latte which took 15-20 minutes to get to our table that was boiling and very tasty! The service was mediocre this morning, not very personable, not very kind, not very attentive, etc. The atmosphere is stunning and a great ambiance for dinner! Still a go-to for me for the food and convenience.

My girlfriend and I had a lovely brunch experience at Madam. The restaurant's atmosphere was chic and elegant, creating a perfect ambiance for our Sunday brunch. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making sure that we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived.

The menu had various options, from classic dishes to more unique ones. My dish was a mouth-watering masterpiece, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and presented beautifully.

Valet is available and so easy.
