Went there December 22 with a party of 10. Pros: great ambiance and beautiful decor. Beer in glass boots was tasty. Portion size for food was quite large. Cons: the cocktails tasted more like sweet sodas. I consulted with 4 of my fellow diners after we left and unfortunately, we agreed the food was bland and just not very interesting to eat; eating felt like a chore we had to slog through. Is it possible that the famous Maders has rested on its famous laurels a bit too long? Time to spice things up (perhaps literally) and excite the taste buds a bit.
