Madam Mikette's — Restaurant in New York

EDIT: thank you for reaching out. I am unable to reply directly to you on this platform; is there an email address I could best discuss the situation at?

Rudest treatment I have ever received at a bar or restaurant.

I was recently here for a work event, and another party arrived without our knowledge. A colleague mentioned that the restaurant had brought out some more food and that he had some, and I went to get some, too. After grabbing it, I found out that it was the other party’s. I apologized, offered to purchase replacements, and everything was resolved.

Immediately after, the bartender butted in. He immediately yelled at me that I should not have taken their food and that I could have asked for an order to be placed for my party (immediately accused me of stealing without inquiring if it was an accident). I stopped him to ask if he actually saw everything that happened (gave him an opportunity to realize he might not have all context) and explained it was an accident and I had offered to replace it and whatnot. He continued berating me, telling me I should have known it wasn’t ours because of the little barrier set up by it (uh, yes—he identified what the accident was…). It was only a few feet and honestly looked like it was there to keep people from running into the table—my colleague didn’t really notice it as it was rather small, and a third colleague hadn’t noticed it at all—it clearly was not doing its job of separating us. The bartender clearly did not care that it was an accident and resolved, and I was able to at least just walk away from his rude treatment.

His treatment of me, yelling at me, accusing me, refusing to listen to what had happened, was completely unacceptable treatment...

Madam Mikettes 987 Second Avenue Wow!

What a gem on Second Avenue (between 52nd and 53rd)! It’s a must stop in Midtown East! And cocktails and good vibes are served until 4am!

The cocktail menu is so so original! I personally love the “Strange interlude”! I won’t be a stranger at Madam Mikettes!

The food menu is so creative and original. My group and I loved the East Coast Oysters. So fresh and chilled! Beautiful! Also the seafood tacos with fresh hake are magnificent! If you love burgers The Madam Burger is tremendous!

And the upstairs space is so beautiful and I will be booking an event there to ring in Spring with my coworkers, friends or both! It is so spacious and comfortable! Give it a look!

The staff from when I entered to the bartenders was top shelf and so approachable and courteous!

I have my new local restaurant and cocktail go to!

Give it a go and you will feel the same!

See attached that I had on my table - special Brunch event this Saturday 3/22/25 11.30am-3pm to welcome in Spring!

See you...

I had dinner at Madam Mikette’s this past Monday and the experience was great — mostly because of the amazing service from the hostess, Maribel. She was the first person I saw when I walked in, and right away she set a really welcoming tone. She got us seated quickly and smoothly, but what stood out most was that she didn’t just stop at the door — she actually checked in with us a few times during the night, even after we’d already ordered.

Her energy was warm and genuine, and she carried great conversation each time she stopped by. It made the night feel a lot more personal and thoughtful, which is rare. You can tell she cares about making sure people are having a good time, and it really made a difference.

The space has that classic old-school charm — very comfortable but with character. The food was great too — I still keep thinking about the raspberry cheesecake at the end.

Overall, I had a great time and would absolutely go back. Maribel really elevated...
