A nice place to get a small bite and a drink. Staff was friendly and attentive when they came around. The food was fresh, delicious and hot when it came. Small plates perfectly sized, makes it easy not to over eat. The angels with dirty wings was an herbal based drink different and refreshing. The zucchini fries and the paella were both good. But, but, but the Panna cotta you must try!!! The tables are close so if it busy it gets loud. Reservations were suggested but we didn't have one and got seated in under 10 min.

Great food, great drinks, amazing service. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. We ordered the cheeseburger and the cavatelli. The only thing I would say is that I wish the portion of cavatelli was bigger, because they were truly delicious and I just couldn’t get enough. Definitely recommend it and I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in San Francisco.

Updating for an October 2024 visit: Continue to love what the Madrigal is offering, especially seasonally themed cocktails and Happy Hour offerings. My friend enjoyed a lamb ragu-type dish, and I had four delicious arianciata. However, the beet hummus is overloaded with salt IMHO. Dial it down by half, and I'd have been happy, but I am sensitive to salt. Previous visit: The lobster dog was tender & full of lobster flavor, and the delicate fried calamari sprinkled in the bun added just a suggestion of crunch. Sweet heat came from minced peppers that gave the roll a chow-chow like element, and the bonito flakes were A++ for texture. Each bite savored! The $10 Happy Hour Zorak was a simple + elegant happy hour holiday cocktail with vodka, mint, cacao, cream, and a sprinkle of pie spices. And cute bruléed marshmallows to evoke s'mores. Love that this place stays open late and I look forward to return trips.
