"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 the meal on a high note. Service was attentive, and we especially appreciated how the staff was careful and accommodating when it came to allergies, ensuring everything was prepared safely. The attention to detail added to the overall experience. A few minor tweaks (like balancing the onion soup's sweetness) would make this a five-star experience, but overall, Maison Margaux is a solid choice for a refined French dining experience in Minneapolis. Would definitely return!"

"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."

"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 dishes. This was particularly noticeable with the Beef Wellington, which, given its $129 price, felt incomplete without any accompaniment. There were some strong moments during the meal, but the execution of the Wellington and the lack of balance on the plates made the overall experience feel uneven for what was meant to be a special New Year’s Eve dinner."

"We really liked the restaurant’s aesthetics — it has a beautiful and thoughtfully designed atmosphere. The service was excellent, very attentive and professional. As for the food, some dishes surprised us — both in terms of flavor and price. We didn’t enjoy everything equally. The mussels and the veal escalope were outstanding. The tartare was decent, but serving it on a bun felt unnecessary and took away from the dish. We appreciated the presentation of the sole and the sauce served with it really elevated the flavor. The cocktails were also delicious and well-balanced."

"What a wonderful experience celebrating our friend's birthday. The French onion soup was so delicious and very flavorful more like a thicker onion stew. The fries were surprisingly good that came with the Wagyu steak. The short ribs and vegetables were amazing."
