    I love French cuisine, cafes, and bistros. So part of me loves Ma Maison. The other part sees me cddcfddmore critically. The food is uneven and not at all seasonal, really. This is French food that’s formulaic and predictable. It’s like a Disneyland version of a French place. For example, we ordered starters and entrees w green salad to follow. The waitress looked flummoxed. After? Said she didn’t know if the kitchen could accommodate that. Seriously? … Even though this is exactly the way the French and Europeans organize their dinners. Not so much in the US where salads are often starter courses. But this is a FRENCH restaurant. And sadly the plain green salad when it arrived was not worth eating. Just some tough frisée type lettuce with no flavor. The Grande Marnier soufflé was a treat though lacking orange or brandy flavors.

    It was a great small intimate restaurant with great food. Went there because I was visiting someone at the hospital and I liked the food so much, I went back there again the next day. If you like French food, you’ll love this place.

    Writing a review for Ma Maison is such a challenge; do you want to say just how good it is so more people know? Ma Maison is one of our favorites in Boston, for lunch (as we did this trip), it is the choice of our guests most often. They have a wonderful selection of quintessential French food (including an amazing baguette). To complement their food the wine list is not extensive but it has an excellent selection of some of the best French wines in a very reasonable price range. As we are getting older we often skip lovely starters such as the French Onion Soup or the green salad, both make you feel you are relaxing in Paris.... This trip Julie had the quiche which comes with a salad and 'fries'. I was offered a bit and it was delicious. This is the last place I can consistently find duck confit so it's often my choice; today along with a potato it had asparagus which were also cooked perfectly (served with a bit of cheese). As we finished we each ordered a Grand Marnier Soufflé (they also offer one in chocolate, or Crepes Suzette, an Apple Tarte Tatin, or....). All of this was timed so we could enjoy and relax by our server Justin. Not only does he lead us through wonderful meals but he's provides key stops for our next trip to France. Food, wine and service that can't be beat; a bit of France in a bistro here in Boston. Merci.

    We had a great dinner and despite a noisy neighbor the setting was very nice. Wouldn’t it be nice for patrons to read the room! Service excellent and the timing of serving soup first and dinner after was perfect. Reasonably priced and great value for the quality.
