Reviews Summary

Madam & Sir receives accolades for its chic atmosphere and aesthetic appeal, with many diners praising the exceptional food quality, particularly the seafood and perfectly cooked salmon. However, some reviewers note inconsistencies in value for money and occasionally slow service. The vibrant vibe and outdoor seating are frequently highlighted as major draws.

"The food, I'll give a 10/10
Flavourful of my dish were well curated, salmon cooked well and charred to perfect flavour 😂 the vegetables were abit bland till I swiped them through the puree, delectable. I thought I wouldn't get full, but I was satisfied.

The burger is amazing. Next time I'm going there I'm Def ordering it. I don't even like burgers but I loved that one.
The flavour, the sauce, everything about it is perfection.

Loved my drink, it's cute and tasty. Zesty, sweet but not too sweet, Jager added that different flavour and gave me a Hannah Montana (best of both worlds) 😂 Just how I love my drinks.

The service was amazing, the gentleman and lady serving us were friendly, funny, patient, knew the menu well.

The atmosphere is calm, classy, chic and those plant touches 😍 I love plants.

10/10 experience"

"The food was delicious, probably the best I've had. My only gribe was value for money, I ordered Madame nibbles and was basically served bones for ribs. For the amount that they charge you would imagine that they would care about the quality of food they serve. With that being said... The atmosphere, the music, the Aesthetics tick all boxes."

"❗️❗️❗️UPDATE❗️❗️❗️

To the owner of Madam and Sir.

You sent me a very convincing response to my review on the first time I visited your establishment. I took up your offer and decided to give your restaurant a second chance.

On a positive note, the staff were very accommodating and the service was much better than the first time we came by.

In your response you mentioned "we're happy to share that our new Head Chef has offially started and has already implemented major changes to improve our standards - including the launch of a brand-new menu" This statement is a complete lie. Your existing menu was just reprinted. This comment was made on multiple other poor reviews and is purposefully misleading. Nothing has changed with your menu.

I ordered Madams Grilled Lamb Chops. What was served to me vs what was on the menu was absolutely shocking. The most shameful thing of this meal which was supposed to be served with mash was served with dry store bought "just add water" Smash. For a restaurant to pass off synthetic Smash as potatoe mash is unfathomable. Does your "new well esteemed head chef" not know how to boil a potato to make a simple mash?

Furthermore, you are passing off mutton as lamb. The chops were so hard and chewy that I actually spat out a bite that I could not chew. The menu describes the meal as "3 Lamb Chops served with pan-fried buttery potatoes and roasted garlic sauce, green olives, pickled red onion and dried tomato with potato and pea salad with lemon minted mayo."

There was no buttery potatoes, no green olives, no pickled red onion, no dried tomatoes and no potato and pea salad with lemon minted mayo. It was just three dry dunked chops with smash. Please view the pictures. I think your new head chef should give your menu a browse before attempting to cook another dish.

Aestetically your restaurant is beautiful, and perfect for the Gram. It would be great to see that same level of effort put into the food. I certainly will never return to your restaurant and I hope this is an opportunity for you to be honest to the innocent patrons who walk through your doors hoping to get value for their money...



This was our first time visiting this restaurant and it quite a disappointment. I will not go back. Firstly, it was lunch time and the music was so loud I could not hear the person across the table from me. I had to ask the waiter to turn down the volume. The restaurant was not busy and the staff were quite rowdy. We were given the menus and I was completely shocked at the condition of the menus. Pages were literally falling out as I paged through it. It was old, tattered and oily. Not a great first impression.

The beer glass that was served to us was wet on the inside and outside. It was as if it just came from the sink straight to the table. We asked the waiter to take it back.

I ordered a smoked Salmon Salad and was given, what I assume, was Tuna. It was definitely not smoked or Salmon. The salad dressing was an extremely large portion of balsamic vinegar. Surely more effort can be put into making a proper salad dressing.

The burger portion was also very small and the bun that was served was not the bun mentioned in the menu.

This establishment is overhyped and is not value for money. A very disappointing lunch... Would not recommend the restaurant and we certainly will never return."
