"This was my second visit to Maison Giraud and I loved the meal, the ambiance. I thought the waiter was pushing the wine pairings a bit too much but overall an excellent experience."

"We really enjoyed our meal here. The service was charming and prompt. We brought our children and ate early, reservation at 6pm. I wouldn't take children under 12 after 8pm. They could have filled up on the fabulous bread but actually ate from the menu! There is no children's menu but the soup pistou, prawn cocktail, tomato tart and risotto were all wonderful and child friendly. All the food was delicious and the special wine of the night was very good. I recommend the vacerin glace for dessert and everybody loved the chocolate souffle. Will certainly be back."

"Thank you, Chef Giraud, for bringing great French food to the Palisades. The dishes are delicious and creatively prepared. I especially like the fixed price seasonal menu. What a wonderful way to showcase fruits and vegetables at their freshest."

"Lucky people in the Palisades to have this great neighborhood restaurant!
Service was very good. We were a bit worried about noise level, from reading previous reviews. We were a group of 4, reservations were for a Saturday night at 7 p.m. Did not find the noise to be an issue. It was a relaxed dinner - appetizers - salads and shared tart. Tried the daily "cocotte" - veal osso bucco, was excellent. Shared desserts - daily fruit tart- apple tartin, signature lavender ice cream and order ahead chocolate souffle.
All were excellent. Portions, just right"
