Maison Margaux

Maison Margaux offers a beautifully designed space with an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. We opted for valet parking, which was convenient given the location. We started with the bouillabaisse, which had a rich, well-balanced broth and perfectly cooked seafood. The French onion soup, however, leaned too sweet for our liking, which threw off the traditional savory depth we were expecting. For entrées, the Pomme Napoleon was a standout side, beautifully layered and flavorful. The Grand Wagyu Steak au Poivre was cooked to perfection with a bold peppercorn sauce, and the short ribs were fall-apart tender with deep, comforting flavors. Dessert was a highlight--both the crème brûlée and the apple bread slice with ice cream were excellent, offering just the right amount of sweetness to end t

My boyfriend and I came to Maison Margaux on Valentine's Day and had an insane experience. I felt like I was on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. *Note no hate to the staff -- it seemed insane and underprepared and I don't think it was any fault of the staff. everyone we talked to was very friendly!!!* We arrived for our 9:45pm dinner reservation right on time and checked in. The host let us know there were a few people waiting ahead of us but it should be fast. (He was doing his best). There were actually a LOT of people ahead of us (8 groups I think). After 30 mins we were given complimentary half glasses of prosecco. We were seated an hour later at 10:45. We had reserved the Salon (underground bar) but were seated upstairs in a less vibey space. A waitress came over and poured water n

There is nothing better than an experience at Maison Margaux in the North Loop. This has become our go-to date night place in Minneapolis and I am worried to even put this review out of fear that soon too many people will start to flock here (thankfully I don’t think I have that pull yet). I can say that we have continued to come back here and have been treated better than any restaurant than we have ever been repeat customers at. We don’t expect that but they are so kind! And I have had TWO dishes here that gave me goosebumps. The wine list and cocktail menu also compliment the dinner wonderfully. I do want to compliment a standout staff member. Jahvani is the most wonderful Host/Event Manager! Our highlights: - escargot - Aligot - duck confit, sourdough, bone marrow - beef bourguigno

We started with the oysters with caviar, which were delicious and beautifully presented, a real highlight of the evening. We also ordered the scallops, which were perfectly cooked and well executed. Unfortunately, the Beef Wellington, which was the New Year’s Eve special and the most expensive item on the menu, did not meet the same standard. At that price point, especially for a featured holiday dish, we expected flawless execution. The beef was much rarer than anticipated, and the bottom of the pastry was undercooked and sticky, which significantly detracted from the dish. While we understand that French restaurants often serve composed plates rather than traditional sides, none of the entrées included any vegetable or starch element, no potatoes, purée, or vegetables to balance the di

We were seated for 20 minutes before we ever saw our server. We put in our order and were promised bread service. Twice. The bread didn't arrive until after our food. My friend ordered the short rib bourguignon, which listed ingredients such as carrot, potato, onion, and a red wine glacee. However, the dish included pork belly and mushrooms, and my friend eats neither of those. My dishes of scallops and wagyu tartare were quite good. But with the slow service and surprise ingredients, it's unlikely we'd ever return.
