Customer Reviews
Bistro Maison is a nice, fancy French restaurant that's only open for dinner. It's a great spot for a date, hanging out with friends, or even by yourself. You can enjoy a nice, fancy French meal, grab a couple of drinks, and just have a good time. The staff there are super friendly and kind.
We tried this lovely French bistro today and had such a pleasant experience! We’re new in town and were on the hunt for a good charcuterie board and this place did not disappoint. The board was beautifully put together and absolutely delicious.
We tried Bistro Maison for the first time Christmas Eve. They offered a prix fixe menu at $90/person plus a mandatory 22% gratuity, regardless of party size. The service was terrible. Gratuity should be at the diner's discretion and commensurate with the service provided. We were not provided with 22% quality service. In fact, we felt like afterthoughts being upstairs. We waited 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order and then another 35 minutes for them to return to take our food order. The main entrees were served two hours after we sat down. The salad, shrimp, and soup were both delicious. The ribeye (with a $16 surcharge) and pork chop were both overcooked. Vegetables were undercooked and inedible. The restaurant itself was festively decorated and had a lovely French theme. Base
What a fantastic french meal! We were so fortunate to have the owner there as she recommended a couple of dishes and had extensive knowledge of the local wines. She gave us a recommendation for wine, which completely blew us away. The food is outstanding, flavor bombs actually. We had cassoulet, which you can't find many places, duck confit (moist, crispy and delicious) and a salad with goat cheese covered in a tapenade of freshly picked mushrooms. The french fries were crispy and good too. Definitely a repeat!
Our recent visit to Bistro Maison was disappointing. Service was unusually slow—despite requesting bottled water several times, it was never brought without repeated reminders. The waitstaff seemed inattentive and did not check in on us during the meal. We were surprised to see a 22% automatic gratuity added for a party of five, which felt excessive given the level of service. Additionally, our salads were served 15 minutes apart, requiring us to follow up to find out when the remaining ones would arrive. The foie gras, while flavorful, was overpriced considering the small portion size. We had high expectations, but unfortunately, the overall experience fell short.
