Excellent wine list, intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and to die for food. Four of us went and everyone wished we stayed longer so we could return and try this place... read more again. Two had fondue, one had steak and one had ravioli...all delightful. The cheese board...More

Truly enjoyed Bistro Maison -- from the truffle tapenade to the butterhead lettuce salad and the fresh Chinook salmon. Delicious, creative, loved it. The service, though, was a bit uneven... read more and scattered for a high end restaurant -- not necessarily slow (and we were not...in a hurry) but far from spot on, More

I had seen good reviews of this restaurant which is why we were very disappointed. The location and outdoor seating is lovely. The service was poor - sat for 15... read more minutes before anyone came over to offer water or menu. Food was mediocre at best.

We enjoyed a dinner one night after a day of wine tasting. Our seating was in a private alcove on the front porch of the Bistro Maison. I selected the... read more petite salad with mustard vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious and large enough to be shared. For my main entree I went iwth the coq au vin which is cooked with pinot noir, leeks, mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes. For desert we shared the chocolate dessert with cherry ice cream. The ice cream was smooth and full of cherry flavor. The bistro doesn't serve cappuccino which is a little strange for a European restaurant.
The service was a bit spotty, It took a while for us to be attended to and for our water to be filled. One of the servers was a bit unpolished and touched our serving dishes versus using the handles appropriately.
Tip: The servers change constantly so you will not have a single consistent server during your dining experience.
