Beacon Hill Restaurants

We had a fabulous dinner last night at Ma Maison, where they are still flying the true French cooking flag after all these years. I say, ‘vive la France’ and I loved it …. and the relief from fusion food that it represents. I had fois gras as a starter, veal kidneys, and a Grand Marnier soufflé for dessert. A classic meal. WOW. It was almost all perfectly delicious . . .except that my veal kidneys were a tad overcooked and the sauce lacked oomph. The plating was sloppy, done with white rice and some sautéed mixed veggies, definitely not "comme il faut." There was a bland, beige mustard cream sauce and I couldn’t at all detect the mustard. When I’ve had them in France, they’ve been done w a sauce madere which is brown and rich and they’ve been served pink. But the fous gras was sublime perfection, the bread was delicious, the soufflé was high and light and lovely, especially with the little slosh of Grand Marnier that our wonderful waitress added at my request. My companions duck a l’orange was amazing. The ambience and atmosphere are classic as well. I was delighted to see adults of all ages eating there, not just a geriatric retro crowd. Bravo, Ma Maison. I can’t wait to return.

Love celebrating Thanksgiving with you all! We have shared 3 thanksgivings over the past 6 years. Each unique in its own way & always delicious! Many thanks & blessings to the staff for making this a special & wonderful visit each time. You are all the BEST!!! :)

The drinks were fantastic (best espresso martini I’ve had) and the decor was really cute
