Madiran The Wine - East Setauket

I absolutely adore this restaurant! They have an impressive wine list and the food is fantastic. We enjoyed the scallops, lamb, and artichokes, all of which were delicious. Jaclyn, the owner, is simply wonderful!

Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly crowd. It's a laid-back spot and the ideal way to unwind after a Friday, especially after a particularly long week, even if it was a short one due to Labor Day. This was my first visit, and I know I'll be coming back many times! I really appreciated how easy it was to relax and have a great time here. If you're in the mood for tapas with a fantastic selection of wines and bubbly, Madiran is the place to be. I tried the warmed olives and the bone marrow, and both dishes were outstanding. Even the sides served with the bone marrow were top-notch. There was live music, and since the venue has such an intimate vibe, the musician came over to the bar afterward to chat with me. Jim was wonderful! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jackie, who was extremely friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a delightful evening!

I absolutely adore this hidden gem! The ambiance is enhanced by smooth jazz, and the food is exceptional, paired with a wonderful selection of wine and beer. The vibe here is simply fantastic. Price per person: $30–50. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. Highly recommend the Chardonnay, Charcuterie, and Lamb Lollipops!

Where do I even start? Everything begins at the top, and when a restaurant starts to falter, it often reflects its ownership. Fortunately, in this case, the owner is exceptional. We've visited a few times, and each experience surpasses the last. The French board was incredible, featuring an impressive selection of cheeses, pâté, jams, and pickles—expertly curated. The burrata was delightful, drizzled with a sweet glaze that had savory undertones. For the main course, I had the orecchiette pasta with sausage, pesto, and red peppers, and it was fantastic. The grilled octopus paired with summer corn and beans was equally perfect. I genuinely can’t say enough positive things about this place—I'd give it 10 stars if I could! I intended to take pictures of the food, but it was too delicious to last!

This place is a welcomed, refined but casual addition to Setauket's wanting, if not barren restaurant landscape. Nice ambience- European/ Grateful Dead inspired. Food is very good. Somewhat inconsistent portions, less so quality and prices. Some items are reasonably priced, some are a bit steep. Overall a nice wine bar with generally great food. Jazz on the weekends, which you won't find elsewhere, which is nice. Crowd is an older mix of bourgeoise locals.
