Terrible and not representative of the wonderful service, food and people of McMinnville! Such a disappointment. Awful greeting, which should have turned us around and left. Junior servers were lovely.... read more We wish the crazy, frazzled, unpleasant whirlwind of a negative woman who seemed to feel the need to crash into every table and attempt to take their orders would let the pleasant staff handle people and their orders. We ordered the "special" appetizer which never came. We are a group of friends who have traveled the world, and we are sad to say, but this was the worst dining experience we have ever had. Please take your time and money in lovely McMinnville to other establishments with great people and great service. You deserve much better.

The menu is... read more very french; coq au vin, steak poivre, escargo, truffles, even fairly extensive french wines in addition to the amazing local wine list. I had steak poivre. Perfectly cooked ribeye served HOT with a savory black pepper sauce. A side of garlicy spinach made it even more perfect. My wife had moules. These were OUTSTANDING! A mountain of steaming hot plump mussels in one of the richest broths I have ever tasted for this dish. Be warned, portions are very large. Any dish, salad or main, can easily satisfy two people. Five stars is not enough. Enjoy!

We spend a month or two in France every year, so we tend to avoid American French restaurants. Bistro Maison is an exception, always good, always authentic, in a nice... read more setting and great staff. The menu is remarkably complex and interesting, if we were in the area we'd eat here often. As in a true French restaurant there are interior and exterior seating options, and places where a good dog can tuck away under the table.

We had a very enjoyable lunch at Bistro Maison. In the better restaurants it’s the little things that count. I bake bread at home and am always searching for the... read more crunchy crust covering the “chew” inside. Here they bake their own French bread and it...More
