Alex Madonna’s Gold Rush Steak House

This steakhouse is gorgeous inside, the pink flowers and seatings were so beautiful. The hostess was not the most welcoming. We made reservations in advance for my party and asked if a booth was available after seeing 3-4 open, she was like nope, we have them reserved for bigger parties only while I saw multiple booths with just couple in it. She was unapologetic and unempathetic with the attitude like too bad so sad. It really was not a good start to our evening. Despite this our server Teresa was awesome from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, patient and always smiling and sweet. The food… the ribeye was juicy and thick, was more done than requested but it was still tasty, the prime rib was perfect, baked potato was on the smaller side, the grilled asparagus were perfect as well. The mash potatoes were just ok. The lemon cake was delightful and not too sweet or heavy. That was surprisingly very good. I hope the create a better process for their advance reservation guest. Overall the experience could have been much better if we had a bigger table with more elbow room after we ordered all those dishes, but our server Teresa really turned things around for us. Great location for date nights, ladies get together and family night. Don’t forget to follow, @Only1ChristineLu for more foodie spots to stop in

Don't be fooled by the corny interior. This is a really nice restaurant! The service was great! As silly as it looks, everyone takes their jobs seriously in there. The food and drinks were so fun! The little relish plate reminded me of my grandmother, she's the only person I know that puts that stuff out at family holidays. So there was some nostalgia here for me! The steak and lobster was cooked very well, the portions were large. Do not skip a slice of cake! You're going to be too full, the size of it will intimidate you. I don't even like cake. You have to get a slice. It's not too sweet, it's so moist, the subtle but rich flavors. We ate it out of the styrofoam container in the hotel room like a bunch of drug addicts. Just gobbled it up. It was so tasty. Did we feel shame afterward? Maybe. Would I do it again? 100% can't wait. This place is really really not my vibe, but I had a blast and would definitely come back.

7/1/25: A whimsical experience that I'm glad I didn't miss. Had the shrimp cocktail, prime rib and champagne cake and luckily was there on a Monday when they have swing dancing (8pm to 10pm) so joined in after dinner.

amazing food! big portions though so be aware! super iconic venue and I definitely recommend the pink cloud and champagne cake

I had a great family dinner here, where the menu offered something for everyone’s likes. We started off with the truffle potato fingerlings and house salad as our apps and I went for the filet mignon (medium rare) with a baked potato. The wine selection was great, although I went for a French 75. The only disappointing thing was that the champagne used was flat and they tried using a sugar cube to bubble it up. Our dessert and espressos didn’t disappoint though! Highly recommend their pink champagne and chocolate forest cake with cherries!

This place was AMAZING!!! The atmosphere is one of a kind. Gives a western old town Hollywood feel. Our waiter, Riley, was soooo amazing. Very helpful, friendly, and very attentive. The food was on point. The drinks were tasty and strong! Kudos to the entire staff. Top tier service.

4/5 food but rounding up for decor ambiance and service. It’s an amazing spectacle. Fun and fascinating experience worth checking out at least once. Food portions are large but also pricey and not great value for the quality. Meat was delicious as was bread. Vegetables not very nice and cake was lackluster. So famous it doesn’t need to taste great. Free bread and pickle and cheese plate. Drinks are generous and good value. Live music on some nights is a great touch. The main star here is the decor, ambiance and service. It’s a must see in SLO.

I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I bring friends often and love to come For music. We sat in the bar last night and it wasn’t busy. But our server was not very attentive. We waited for a long time before we got service. She took our order and they brought our friends food but not ours. 45 minutes later she asked if we wanted our bill. No refills on coffee, tea or drinks, and no food. I said I’d like our food and she looked at me like huh? I told her we didn’t get our order and she then said they were slow. 10 min later she brought our food. The meat was dry, the aujus not edible and she forgot how we had requested it. She came back after 30 minutes and we let her know it was not edible. She said she’s heard that most people don’t care for the French dip. And I was a bit surprised. She said she’d ask for it taken off. By far the worst experience. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had good meals there and love the ambiance. I have had bad service the last 2x I’ve gone and food quality not as good as it used to be sadly. The server may have had something going on so I wanted to give grace. We basically ate fries and cake for dinner last night. The cake didn’t disappoint.

Setting is amazing. If you can come around a holiday it is decorated up for the theme. Food was good. Nothing spectacular but a romantic setting for a date night. Staff were attentive and friendly. I've stopped by about once a year for Valentine's Day because my spouse loves the decor so this is a would buy again because of that.

Mixed rating only because the food was terrible. The ambiance is unmatched, so lively and fun and whimsical. Staff was profession and attentive, live music and just a fun place to eat. 10/10 in that department. However, for the price the food was really not good. We ordered appetizers, entrees and drinks and it was eh. That is why only 3 starts

Love, love, love everything about this place! I celebrated my birthday here, as I learned most people do lol. You walk in to such a fun, beautiful over-the-top atmosphere. You cannot help but be excited. The service is impeccable. Everybody is so happy and nice. The vibe and the energy are just fabulous. And on top of all that the food and live entertainment are spectacular. If I lived closer, I would literally go here often lol

Food was amazing! Love the lamb chops very tasty. If you like lamb you will love these. I really like the mint apple jelly it comes with. My boyfriend likes his turkey sliders it was top with onion rings. The cloud drink was strong! For some reason I thought it was going to be sweet but it wasn't which is a plus. House champagne was also good. I'm glad I made a reservation because there was a bunch of people waiting to get in. I went on Valentine's Day week. Parking can be a bit difficult since the restaurant a was packed. Service was very accommodating I'd definitely come here again because the decor was so cute and the food was delicious.

My first time here and I feel my experience was okay, nothing amazing. I do want to say that the staff was all very friendly and we were seated right away during dinner hour along with the very cute maximalist interior design were a plus. The main downside however, was the food did take awhile to come out for each item we ordered. With that, the taste was good but wasn't anything special in my opinion to where I feel I should go out of my way to stop here. (The raspberry delight cake is better than the famous pink champagne cake in my opinion.) If you're staying at the Madonna Inn, then this is a convenient place to dine in at but I think there are better options elsewhere if you're visiting SLO.

You can't go wrong with the ambiance here. Bright, pink everything and the seasonal decor! Service was fine. Nothing to write home about. My partner enjoyed a pasta dish and I opted for the chicken. Again, both were good. Nothing to write home about! Extensive wine and cocktail list and, of course, great dessert options. We got a pink champagne cake slice to go! Extremely pricey, and maybe not quite worth it. A "go one time" kind of place!

Lots of parking at the Madonna's Gold Rush Steak House. We were seated right away since we made reservations. The seats are comfy at the booth table. There is a lot of decorations and a lot of it is in pink. Our server was friendly and took our order right away. We ordered the Pink Champagne cake. The portion size is huge. We decided to see the rest of the hotel lobby and found the stores. There is a waterfall urinal in the men's restroom. If we came back here again, it'll probably be used as a pit stop. And maybe pick up snacks from the cafe.

First off, we have always loved both restaurants but the steakhouse has big issues with holiday meals. We recently dined on Christmas Eve. The place was packed & very festive but my goodness the food was horrible. My husband ordered the special prime rib dinner which He ordered medium well. The state came and it was rare. It was so rare that he said it was hard to even cut with a knife. He was too grossed out to even send it back to the kitchen. You can't take a prime rib that's already cut and return it to the kitchen to be reheated . It just doesn't work that way. Thankfully our very friendly server took the dinner off the bill. I decided to order off the main menu and wasn't really in the mood for red meat so I ordered the bowtie pasta with chicken, sun-dried, tomatoes, and basil. The pasta was a complete mush. There was very little sun-dried tomatoes, and barely any basil, and you couldn't even tell it was bowtie pasta because it was so overcooked. It was pretty much inedible. How someone can screw up pasta so terribly is beyond me. Our server was honest and friendly, and basically told us the bar was very backed up so I ended up buying two drinks at a time and thank goodness I did because it took a good half an hour before I even got my first glass. I think this restaurant does not know how to handle holiday dinners as I also attended an Easter brunch once and the food was horrible as well. Our server was very friendly and we shared a slice of pie and the pie was decent. It's such a shame because it's such a celebratory type of place but the chef or the kitchen needs to get together. I think a manager needs to look into this and figure out what seems to be going wrong. My husband and I decided we will return, but definitely not on a holiday. We do go to the copper Café quite often and are always pleased with the copper café. On a positive note, the decorations were definitely beautiful and the serving staff was very friendly although very, very busy and overworked.

Came last month with my girlfriend for our anniversary and had such a wonderful experience. Genuinely can't wait to go back. Our server was a wonderful gentleman, I believe his name is Riley. So attentive and accommodating. Our food was cooked perfectly, the live music was lovely and we did not shy away from the dance floor. They also gave us a slice of their famous cake to celebrate the occasion, so yummy!

I have to say this is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been in. I'd compare it to how Maxims in Paris looked. Loved our booth, we had a corner booth and it was super romantic. The service was excellent. Let me repeat excellent. The five stars are for the service and look of restaurant. The food was a 3.5 star. They bring you a starter plate of cheese and pickles. This is yummy. Also the bread was hot and delicious. The salad was forgettable and really not worth eating. My pork chop was fatty. The asparagus was delicious and the baked potato was perfect. We had the pink cake for dessert and it was so good. Similar to a strawberry shortcake. I would return but order a different entre.

Food is spectacular here. Drinks are incredible. Service is worthy of a standing ovation. And I absolutely love the holiday decor. Can't say anything bad about this steak house.

Fun place for sure. You're definitely paying for the entire 'experience' of eating in an over-gaudy establishment. The food wasn't half bad either. Garlic Cheese Bread (4): Very good. Not very big though. Garlicky and cheesy for sure. Tomato Bisque Soup (5): On point Ribeye (4): Ordered it charred medium-rare. It was medium-rare but it wasn't charred. They might not have the oven to be able to accomplish that. The steak was good though. Prime Rib Salad (4): This thing was HUGE! Like a full slab of prime rib on a salad. Wasn't expecting so much meat but it was delicious! Very creamy salad so don't think you're being 'healthy' with this choice. It was hearty and good though. Dessert (5): Don't forget a slice of what they're known for. We've tried a number of their cakes and they're all fantastic! Get some ice cream with it and kick it up a notch. Service (5): Our waiter was fantastic and made our experience enjoyable. Come for an over-gaudy and flamboyant over-the-top experience. It's lovely and unique. Explore the grounds and the hotel. Stay for some dancing. A very lovely hotel and the dining experience compliments it.

Show stopper! If you love PINK, this is your place to dine. They start you off with a complimentary relish tray. Fresh & crisp. I had the rib eye, garden salad with blue cheese dressing and a baked potato. I couldn't even finish half of the steak. It was a perfect medium. Fun atmosphere with Cal Poly swing club practicing. Oh! And be sure to get a slice of the champagne cake, one slice is enough to feed 4 people. Teresa was a lively server and made my daughter feel like a princess, great service!

This is our second time here and the food was delicious. We had the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked. The baked potato was so good and cooked to perfection. You didn't need a knife to cut it. The drinks were delicious! And you can't beat the price! I started with the clam chowder, which wasn't great, I'll definitely go with the salad next time. The service Teresa was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. For dessert we had the raspberry cake and a slice of the strawberries and cream cake. Both were good but a little dry for my liking. Most definitely will go back.

Located just off the 101, across from the Madonna Plaza, is the Extravagant Madonna Inn. Huge parking lot, so parking shouldn't be a problem! Inside, there is The Copper Cafe & Bakery, Silver Bar, and The Gold Rush Steakhouse. My family and I have been going here, at least once a year, since we moved from The Bay Area, decades ago. This was for my Sister's annual Bday drinks and dinner. While walking up the stone pathway, you notice well manicured landscaping and water fountains. When entering the restaurant, you notice the huge, heavy, solid, wooden doors. You immediately are welcomed by the maître d'. You check in and then go to the right to the bar. Then after a cocktail or two, you go back and your table should be ready. We got our typical Dolly Parton booth. The dining room is pure opulence. There's a Dancefloor in the distance, a grand piano and staircase going up. There's leather booths everywhere that are a pink, pink wall paper and red and pink carpet. Gold is splashed everywhere even the ceiling. It screams over the top, but in a great way. Our server was awesome. She was on it and we never had to ask for anything. They have a gentleman come around and refill your waters and collect any plates that have been used. First class service. The complementary rules are always warm fluffy and delicious with the soft served butter on the side. It just is a lovely starter. The relish trays your typical starter for an older time. I ordered the cheesy garlic bread and The Pick & Shovel Turkey Sliders. I've had a lot of different things here so I wanted to try something new. My sister gave me her soup, which was the chicken and rice soup of the day. I thought the soup was OK. The broth had a good depth of flavors, saltiness, chicken and vegetable, but the chicken was a little bit of a texture of a canned soup. It was so so. The garlic cheesy bread is truly my favorite thing here. All it is you take extremely fluffy, soft garlic bread and add this beautiful layer of cheese and then throw it under the broiler. What you're left with, is a soft, yet slight crunch, bite of garlic, cheddar cheese and onion with a gooey top. Smoky and toasty to perfection. Just awesome! The Pick and Shovel Turkey Sliders were decent. The turkey patties were salty, peppery, charred, moist. The cheddar onion ring, and barbecue sauce added a nice western flare to it. Elements of fried, sweet, sugary, molasses and fatty, creamy, cheese. it also had a nice special sauce on the bottom that incorporated another nice creamy, smoky, sweet pickle, element. The bun was lightly toasted and soft. It was pretty decent. Normally, I would order a slice of cake, but I was just too full. Their slices are usually pretty large here and very sweet and decadent. The whole thing about going to Madonna Inn is experiencing the opulence and decadence and old time charm that doesn't really exist anymore. Between the service at the bar and the restaurant, the decor and the formal approach, it brings something to the table, that is sometimes missing in nowadays pub/casual type atmosphere. Until Next Time *Wish they would elevate the food a little more*

Our female server was incredibly rude and unprofessional when we ate there. We dined here on 1/9/25 around the 8pm hour. The Inn experience and everyone who worked there was so lovely so it was shocking to have this one poor encounter.

Oh where do I even start? We were here for a track meet at Cal Poly SLO and were craving steak. This place is wild! Pink is the theme. If Barbie were to open a hotel this would be the result. This looks like Barbie exploded. The best thing I ordered was the lobster, baked potato, ribeye steak, and Champagne cake. This is an institution here at San Luis Obispo. I even bought a pair of Barbie pink boots upstairs. Best steak in the county. We will be back next month. Happy Yelping!

My fiancée and I have been twice for special occasions and we have never had a bad experience ! Especially Ashlee B, she was such a sweetheart. The ambiance was beautiful, and the food was fantastic. The service was even better ! I would highly recommend to anybody passing through SLO. But as a local, I will definitely come back :)

Well...it was good at one point in history. NOT WORTH THE PRICE. I went here for Mother's Day and it was terrible. We spent way too long waiting for our food. We watched a party who was seated 45mins - to an hour after us, and they received their food before ours. My dish came with TWO SPEARS of asparagus. I kid you not TWO!!! My dish was not up to par either. The place was NOT as packed as Iv seen it before, on other holidays. Plenty of open tables. We had made reservations well in advance and they somehow seemed to run out of ALL the DESSERTS! Why else do you come here? Ordered a gin and tonic and it had a piece of glass in it!! What the heck guys, empty your ice bin nightly...ughhh! I drove 2 hours to this place and it was nothing but a disappointment. Now the running joke in the family is it's the "Madonna END!" Won't be going back.

We celebrated a birthday in the cafe 12/28/24. This has been our tradition for the past 14 years. We had reservations for 6:30, Joey was our waiter. He was excellent. All the wait staff were great, everything came in a timely manner considering how busy you always are this time of year. Have to give a shout out when it's deserved. Thank you

This was a pleasant surprise. We went on a night that the Swing Club at the CalPoly was hosting an event and it was so much fun! Anyone could join and on top of the great service and pretty good food, it felt very whimsical as everyone was just having a blast. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and would recommend this to anyone looking for a cute experience.

The food here is amazing! Staff is very friendly and there's good portions. If you don't know already, save room for the pink champagne cake!

Madonna in is all around interesting (to say the least). You have to visit Madonna Inn just to see the place. It's strange in a good way. The rooms are themed and the place itself is a sight to behold. The food at the Steak is good, not great. I would giving it a try Storage once. It's the kind of steakhouse your grandparents would eat at. The service here is always good. The staff is friendly, and welcoming. The place is funny for a night out, along with parties. They offer a variety of menu items including steak, chicken and fish. The desserts are very good too. Just look at the pictures.

We definitely have mixed reviews about the steakhouse. For the kitschy decorations and Christmas overload we definitely give it a five! honestly, your eyes are so busy looking around watching everyone you really kind of, and I say that loosely kind of.. you don't really notice that the food is not tasty until it's in front of you. Our meals were overcooked and extremely bland. With that being said, I have to cut them some slack. It is incredibly busy during the holidays. We were lucky enough to get a beautiful booth overlooking all of the Christmas splendor. They have live music playing in there banquet room. That actually was very very nice to listen to during dinner. Don't expect anything spectacular on the wine list they do have specialty cocktails. They are extremely sweet... I would honestly say our favorite part of the meal was the dessert and that is the pink champagne four layer cake. They are extremely fresh as they are made every day. The overall experience was super fun in our opinion it's one and done. We highly recommend you make a reservation, especially during the holidays. It's worth a go. Especially if you're spending time with people you love

Husband brought me here for my birthday dinner. Restaurant is beautifully decorated for the Christmas season! Wait staff is incredibly attentive and very nice. I ordered the lamb chops medium rare, and received two chops which were cooked medium, and smaller one was definitely well done, but they were delicious,if a bit chewy. His salmon was over cooked and smallish for the price of the meal. We were very surprised to have the pink champagne cake brought with a candle for my birthday celebration! Thank you so very much for the special treat! Can't expect to eat here again, but it was quite an experience!

My husband and I stayed at the Madonna Inn about a week ago. This was our second stay there, both times for my birthday because I just love the over-the- top decor everywhere. It's totally worth going there at least once, and if you do, try to book the Cave Man room. It's the best one! The Gold Rush Steak House is also a must go, mainly to enjoy the very bright pink dining room. My husband ordered the Prime Rib and it was good. I had the pork chop which was advertised as a must-try, but it wasn't all that. It was pretty dry and it lack flavor. Regardless, we had an amazing dining experience mainly because our waiter, Derek, was the best. You could really tell that he enjoys what he does because he was engaging, attentive, very friendly, and passionate about working at the restaurant. A big thank you to Derek for making my birthday dinner extra special!

I recommend this place based on the Ambience alone. Live music, and you can dance! beautiful decorations, and very fast and nice service. The food was good but I do think it is overly priced. But again the experience I think is worth it.

We came here for steaks but when we got the menu it was pretty much sandwiches and burgers. When I asked if there was a steakhouse, the server said it was through to the back of the cafe but they were both connected, so we could order items from the steakhouse even though we were seated in the cafe. The thickness of the filet mignon hit about 3" and it had nice flavor; the rice pilaf tasted bland as well as the asparagus. The Caesar salad was passable and the the cream of spinach soup is something I'd never order again. Quite disgusting. They had a large selection of desserts with cakes about 6" high. Pie and cake slices were close to $13 a piece. 5 stars! The steakhouse decor was pretty swanky and reminiscent of the 1950'. They had a live band which was pretty cool.

Delicious fish and lobster at the Gold Rush Steakhouse! Definitely make a reservation. The atmosphere is like a beautiful explosion of pink roses. Cozy booths and excellent service. Always decorated well seasonally ... a great place for any occasion. We have spent Easter and Christmas here. Good times at the Madonna Inn.

Great steak, excellent baked potato, and delicious salad. Everything was good! A must if you're spending the night!

We have been going here with friends and family forever and always had great times and food. Last night we had our Turkey dinners here with all the trimming and food, was ok if you like the turkey cold, baked potato cold (sent it back once and the replacement came back cold), very little turkey compared to the past hot turkey sandwiches ordered there. Our reservations were for 9:30 and we were seated at the worst table in the place, our waitress was waiting to get out of the place because it was late and evidently the kitchen was too! If the management did not want to offer up a decent fare they should have seated us so late. Of course, the Inn was beautifully decorated with all the Christmas decorations and a treat for the eyes. Not going there again with this past bad taste in my mouth!

Food was AWFUL. The shrimp cocktail was obviously previously frozen; the shrimp had an odd rubbery texture, were full of water, and had zero flavor. Ew. The $70 ribeye steak was unlike anything I've ever eaten. It was flabby, lacking structure--not fatty, just a strange meat blob. It wasn't well-seasoned and had no sear. Shouldn't a ribeye have a bone? Not this one! We ordered it medium rare, but it had different temperatures throughout. Some parts were so raw they were blue, while others were medium or well done. It was so odd. Maybe it was previously frozen, or perhaps it wasn't fully thawed when thrown onto the grill? For the cost, the food shouldn't be frozen, or whatever was going on. The ambiance is a 10/10, so I guess they rely on that to overshadow the simply awful food. I told the sweet server the steak was disappointing, and she just giggled. I guess they're used to it, lol.

I fell in love the moment I walked in. The decor is just stunning. Very decadently styled, lavish, regal in an antiquated way. We ordered two large steaks that did not disappoint. Service was friendly. I would definitely come back. More than anything this place is iconic due to the history. It's a landmark in SLO. Must visit!

First, this place is beautiful. We decided to go for our anniversary. The service was great. But the food, for the very expensive price, I was disappointed. My husband ordered the prime rib, it was almost well done. He ordered medium rare. It was huge but it also lacked any flavor. Our asparagus, didn't seem cooked at all. I didn't even eat them. The salad hardly had any dressing. I was really disappointed, seeing that the price and ambience would mean it was going to be a WOW factor for the meal. But it wasn't.

So kitsch! A really fun experience. We stayed here too, and it was so worth it. Really nice staff from hotel to restaurants, good food, sweet bakery, great drinks, just a good time. DO IT.

What a huge plot twist. You get to this extravagantly gaudy and kitschy restaurant.. decorated in a hot pink Barbie hellscape with gold cherubs and electric candelabras that look like they're about to fall off... and are met with the grossest food you've ever had. It was a wild time for sure. To start, we ordered the Locally Handmade Swiss & Linguica Sausage which came with two mustards. The linguicia had a nice smokey flavors from the pit used. It the Swiss sausage was a little bit more harsh in flavor but tasted good. The portion is huge for an appetizer. It's literally a dinner plate of cut up sausage. I'm not sure why we went full send on this, but I would've rather just had garlic bread. I ordered the Sun-Dried Tomato Farfalle Pasta, based off of other reviews... I assumed it would come with sparse tomatos. What I received... goodness. It was as if I was getting a plate full of cold mushy bow tie pasta, fresh out of a catering tray at an AYCE buffet.. with watered down Alfredo sauce, an entire 6oz jar of mushy sundried tomatoes, and a random toss of salad pine nuts? The entire thing was super tough to eat. It was extremely mushy just lacking in flavor. For $28.95 and it being the cheapest meal... I figured it was a hit or miss. Definitely a miss. I couldn't subject myself to the torture that was that dish, so after 3-4 bites I was done. The side salad... ugh. Lol.. this thing was straight from a bag and absolutely drenched in the most insanely bitey Italian dressing I've ever had. Every piece of lettuce had become Olympic swimmers in the pool that was Italian dressing. I'm personally not a fan but maybe there are those who lack tastebuds. Our waitress was great. It was busy on a Friday night as one could imagine.. so she wasn't really able to make her appearance. She did however assist me with the pasta situation. Service outside of her was a little odd. Whenever we got our water refilled, they did this long waterfall type display... it wasn't really entertaining and resulted in getting myself and my food wet several times. Or maybe dinner and a water show is the jam at Madonna Inn. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere but the food was a huge miss. Others have described it as Disneyland food and for the price of this meal.. I'd have to say it was exactly that. An expensive meal that seriously lacked quality.

We had a big group with us and they accommodated everyone with no fuss and quickly. What more can you ask for. Our waiter was good, busy, probably could have used a little more help. The food was soo good. We all were stuffed and happy, it was my hubby's birthday and they presented a cake to him and sang and they had a great band that we danced to, and I totally want to go back and actually stay the night there to see what other fun details that hotel has, because just being in the restaurant is like a whole other world.

I always wanted to stay at the Madonna Inn, and we finally made it this past summer. We stayed and got a reservation at the steakhouse. It was so much fun! The decor was just like the pictures and did not disappoint. Everything was pink! I had the filet, and my dad had the pork chop. The filet was cooked to medium-rare perfection, and the pork chop was delicious. Both entrees came with dressed baked potatoes and fresh veggies. We finished with a slice of the seasonal strawberry cake from their world-famous bakery on site. The cake was light, fresh, and perfectly summery. 10/10 would order again! What really made the experience so amazing was the staff. Our waitress was friendly and told us all about the history of the Inn and offered great recommendations. If you are looking for a fun night for a special occasion, the Gold Rush Steak House is worth going to!

Based on my first night there I would've given this place a five. The salmon and the rice pilaf were amazing. My server was great. My water was always full. I ordered a pink cloud drink. I thought it was a cocktail, but it was more of like an icy daiquiri type drink, which I'm not a fan of. It tasted good, but it was just really cold and I wasn't in the mood for a really cold drink I didn't realize it was blended. It doesn't mention that on the menu so heads up. I had the tomato basil soup which was really good. The server brought out a bread basket which had focaccia and two dinner rolls in it. That was fabulous. I got a pink champagne slice of cake for dessert. That was really good. It comes if you're having a birthday it's free and I also got the Whipped feta and fig jam crostinis which was one of the best things I had the whole time I was there. Based on my second night I would've given this place a two. My server was doing the bare minimum for me and I suspect that's because I was a single diner the busser noticed no one had been to my table and checked on me and I told him it was fine I wasn't in a hurry. I ordered the garlic bread which came out burnt. I can't believe the server actually served it to me without saying something to the chef, who made it, and he gave me one dinner roll, and one piece of focaccia. I asked for more bread and that took quite a while to get by. Got the loaded potato soup with my dinner that was excellent and I ordered the pasta dish the sun-dried tomato basil for folly. It sounds delicious but it's actually quite terrible. My noodles were mushy when I would stab them the bottom would fall apart. The chef has never heard of al dente. I don't know if there are even any sun-dried tomatoes in there I could barely find them and the pinenuts on top it was really white and they looked gross. Look like maggots on top of my dinner. I hate saying that, but that's what it look like I was not happy and I'm glad I didn't order this meal the night before for my birthday I would have canceled my reservation. I did bring my concerns to the manager and I am satisfied with the results so I am giving this place a four, but I am advising you stay away from the pasta the manager is well aware that it's not a good dish, but they needed to have a vegetarian option. If they could make a really good Alfredo dish and if they wanted to add shrimp or chicken as an option to it, they would have a much better option... as long is the pasta is actually drained properly because it was just sat on my plate and watered the gross sauce down. On another note, the restaurant itself is beautiful it's so pink and over the top it's really an experience to have.

Como un cuento de hadas por fuera y como estar en la serie de Bridgerton al interior ! Me enamoré de este lugar por completo, debo decir que al principio creí que no tendríamos el mejor camarero, pero después me di cuenta que solo habían dos por todo el restaurante y había algo de clientes. Por lo cual me relaje, el menú es variado, pedimos un vino y unos cortes. Estaban deliciosos y ni siquiera pude terminar mi plato así que tampoco pedí postre, pero definitivamente regresaría al día siguiente por un pink champagne cake . Amé su decoración, la comida y al personal tan amable, Derek fue nuestro mesero estrella, nos atendió bastante bien a pesar de estar tan ocupado y lo mejor es que al final no te sientes apresurado ni presionado para irte. Un total 10/10

Five of us chose Madonna Inn to celebrate two birthdays. I ordered my steak medium rare. It arrived medium but was tasty. Dinner salads had no personality. At these dinner prices can't Madonna afford to throw crunchy lettuce or crunchy something in so it isn't a one-note salad? One guest's salmon dinner did not arrive with the others. It was served about 15 minutes later. The wait person asked if he would like the rest of the dinner served while he waited. Doesn't Sun-Dried Tomato Farfalle Pasta sound delicious? Attached is what it looked like - old Rice-A-Roni. The wait person offered take the beautiful homemade cake we brought back to the refrigerator. We were shocked after the main course when she brought the cake out that she had already cut up! Maybe this is done to encourage guests to skip bringing the homemade cake, and instead opt to pay $60 for a 6-inch Madonna Inn Champagne Cake to brought to the table whole.

Fantastic experience. The portions are big, the food was tasty and the service was friendly. You can't stop looking around and feel really transported into a fairytale. I had the primerib, and my husband had the ribeye. Both cooked to perfect temperature and seasoned well. The baked potato was tender, and we both left very satisfied.

Some of the reviews here are quite discouraging so let me preface by saying this, if you're considering dining here, tailor your expectations and I promise you'll have a good time. This restaurant is not for you if: -you expect Michelin level cuisine -you only want drinks and appetizers -you want the finest selection of wines This restaurant IS for you if: -you're looking for a unique dining experience in a beautiful setting -you have an affinity for vintage fashion, dining, etc. -you enjoy friendly service That said, I rather enjoyed my dinner! Started with the shrimp cocktail which was nice. Shrimp were crisp and clean. I chose the ribeye for my entree and was very pleased with the quality. This massive steak was cooked perfectly and the baked potato complimented the meal well. The veggies were nothing special, but I didn't come for the veggies. The aforementioned were wonderful. I saved room to share a slice of their banana but cake and damn near had to be carted off to my room afterward. It was such a good dessert! Overall, if you come with an open mind and a hungry belly, you'll leave happy. Sit back, take some gorgeous pictures, and enjoy the experience!

These drink are from the bar connected to the steakhouse. Always friendly staff and yummy drinks!

The $70 Steaks were burnt on the outside, pink and dry on the inside. Everything tasted previously frozen and compared to the decor were extremely bland and underwhelming, which may explain why the dining room was abandoned on a Thursday Evening. Come for a pic and slice of pie but until the attention to detail in the kitchen matches the decor get a steak elsewhere.

We checked in late to the Madonna Inn (8:30pm) annnnddd We were hungry. I went down to the restaurant/steak house (surprised that the cheapest item was a portobello dinner for. $40) and decided to get a $75 steak. Unfortunately, I waited, and waited, and waited but no server came. Just me and my glass of water sitting there for 25 minutes. Soooo. I left and waited until the morning. It's ok, I could loose a few pounds, lol! I had a wonderful breakfast off the property.

Highly recommend the filet mignon. The rope for dressing is to die for and the soups are always delicious as well. Definitely order the cake, pink champagne, or the toffee cake is my favorite. Best cakes in the world best steaks in the world.

The food and atmosphere were amazing today! We celebrated a bday and went for breakfast Loved my Belgian waffle . Our waiter was very attentive with bringing us water and coffee!

Food was delicious. Steaks cooked just right and the Champagne Cake slice at the end was flawlessly executed. Definitely would recommend this gem.
