Maison Margaux offers a beautifully designed space with an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. We opted for valet parking, which was convenient given the location.
We started with the bouillabaisse, which had a rich, well-balanced broth and perfectly cooked seafood. The French onion soup, however, leaned too sweet for our liking, which threw off the traditional savory depth we were expecting.
For entrées, the Pomme Napoleon was a standout side, beautifully layered and flavorful. The Grand Wagyu Steak au Poivre was cooked to perfection with a bold peppercorn sauce, and the short ribs were fall-apart tender with deep, comforting flavors.
Dessert was a highlight–both the crème brûlée and the apple bread slice with ice cream were excellent, offering just the right amount of sweetness to end the meal on a high note.
Service was attentive, and we especially appreciated how the staff was careful and accommodating when it came to allergies, ensuring everything was prepared safely. The attention to detail added to the overall experience.
A few minor tweaks (like balancing the onion soup’s sweetness) would make this a five-star experience, but overall, Maison Margaux is a solid choice for a refined French dining experience in Minneapolis.
Would definitely return!

What a wonderful experience celebrating our friend’s birthday. The French onion soup was so delicious and very flavorful more like a thicker onion stew. The fries were surprisingly good that came with the Wagyu steak. The short ribs and vegetables were amazing.

There is nothing better than an experience at Maison Margaux in the North Loop. This has become our go-to date night place in Minneapolis and I am worried to even put this review out of fear that soon too many people will start to flock here (thankfully I don’t think I have that pull yet).
I can say that we have continued to come back here and have been treated better than any restaurant than we have ever been repeat customers at. We don’t expect that but they are so kind! And I have had TWO dishes here that gave me goosebumps.
The wine list and cocktail menu also compliment the dinner wonderfully.
I do want to compliment a standout staff member. Jahvani is the most wonderful Host/Event Manager!
Our highlights:
– escargot
– Aligot
– duck confit, sourdough, bone marrow
– beef bourguignon
– scallops
– seafood tower (when available)
– crème brûlée
– Everything is wonderful and we haven’t tried anything that we haven’t loved
Thanks to the chef and the entire team for every incredible meal we have had and every meal we look forward to having!

This is a great place for a romantic date. The service was excellent. We were greeted and served by staff that was professional yet personable. The food was ok. I personally didn’t think the quality matched the price. I thought it was really strange that vegetables aren’t included with an entree. Prepare to pay extra for that. Including tip, it was a $200 meal for two.

We started with the oysters with caviar, which were delicious and beautifully presented, a real highlight of the evening. We also ordered the scallops, which were perfectly cooked and well executed.
Unfortunately, the Beef Wellington, which was the New Year’s Eve special and the most expensive item on the menu, did not meet the same standard. At that price point, especially for a featured holiday dish, we expected flawless execution. The beef was much rarer than anticipated, and the bottom of the pastry was undercooked and sticky, which significantly detracted from the dish.
While we understand that French restaurants often serve composed plates rather than traditional sides, none of the entrées included any vegetable or starch element, no potatoes, purée, or vegetables to balance the dishes. This was particularly noticeable with the Beef Wellington, which, given its $129 price, felt incomplete without any accompaniment.
There were some strong moments during the meal, but the execution of the Wellington and the lack of balance on the plates made the overall experience feel uneven for what was meant to be a special New Year’s Eve dinner.

We were seated for 20 minutes before we ever saw our server. We put in our order and were promised bread service. Twice. The bread didn’t arrive until after our food. My friend ordered the short rib bourguignon, which listed ingredients such as carrot, potato, onion, and a red wine glacee. However, the dish included pork belly and mushrooms, and my friend eats neither of those. My dishes of scallops and wagyu tartare were quite good. But with the slow service and surprise ingredients, it’s unlikely we’d ever return.

We really liked the restaurant’s aesthetics — it has a beautiful and thoughtfully designed atmosphere. The service was excellent, very attentive and professional.
As for the food, some dishes surprised us — both in terms of flavor and price. We didn’t enjoy everything equally. The mussels and the veal escalope were outstanding. The tartare was decent, but serving it on a bun felt unnecessary and took away from the dish.
We appreciated the presentation of the sole and the sauce served with it really elevated the flavor. The cocktails were also delicious and well-balanced.

We had our wedding at Maison Margaux and it was absolutely perfect! The event staff made sure everything flowed and followed our plans for the night. The staff checked in with us throughout the night and all in all, we found the pricing to be very reasonable considering how good the food and drinks were. Highly recommend considering for weddings and events!

Maison Margaux has become our go-to place to celebrate special occasions. The service has always been unparalleled to any restaurant we’ve been to – with lots of personal touches. Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary, and the staff made sure we had our favorite table in full view of the open kitchen, wrote a note, and a celebratory toast of champagne waiting for us. Several people stopped at our table to personally congratulate us.
The food and drinks have always been on point. We love taking advantage of the “choose your own adventure” cocktails alongside favorites like the steak au poivre, which is consistently excellent.
We keep returning to Maison Margaux because it feels like a true escape. We are always so well taken care of – amazing food and service, without any fussiness or pretentiousness.

We ate in the lower level Salon Rouge – excellent atmosphere, comfortable seating, good French music and fairly good service though slow. Servers were polite and upbeat. My wine took over 20 minutes to arrive and we then had to wait and ask a second time for my husbands beverage. The pour of wine was a little shy but it was a delicious Gamay Beaujolais. Our meal however was rather bland and lackluster, a very midwestern interpretation of French cuisine. This was disappointing as we love French cuisine.
Bread service is good but nothing special even if the chefs starter is purported to be 100+ years old. The butter, American not the richly flavored butter of France we had hoped to find.
The short rib bourguignon had the tiniest amount of red wine glacee with the beef giving no indication of having been braised in wine, a key feature of bourguignon! While tender, the meat had very little flavor. The vegetables were not seasoned. It was not bad it just wasn’t good.
The steak au poivre was well presented, the meat cooked as requested but the lack of pepper sauce was a surprise. There were lots of crushed pepper corns but just a drizzle of sauce. I’ve never seen a steak au poivre without a reasonable amount of pepper sauce.
Dessert of tarte tatin & creme brûlée were good but nothing to brag about. The espresso bitter with no crema. Overall, we just won’t be back as we were anticipating French cuisine not Minnesotan. And, this is a shame because there were other items on your menu we wished to try but given this experience it doesn’t seem worth bothering.
