   I went to Margeaux on Christmas Eve with family. The restaurant is beautiful and there was a prix fixe menu. The food was very good. Among the table, we had stuffed mushrooms, squash carpaccio, baked brie, beef wellington, lamb chops and more. The food taste was excellent. The menu listing was very limited which resulted in allergens/preferences being served. For instance, the squash carpaccio made no mention of nuts in the description, yet was served with nuts on top. The service was severely lacking. The cocktail order came after the appetizers were served. After each course, they cleared the table including utensils, but then did not bring new utensils until we asked multiple times and were sitting there with food getting cold. One person ordered the three small plates optional and only two were served. They did not tell us when to expect the third and had to ask for it. We had to request more water twice. While it was a busy evening there, the service was overall disappointing considering it was a dinner that cost more than $455 for 4 people before tip.

   What a gem. The owner gave us a choice of tables and wished us a happy anniversary. The waitstaff practically beamed at ys. The bartender accommodated with a special Cocktail. Among our dishes were the oysters,lobster/crab bisque , beef Wellington and pecan pie. The food was beautifully plated and came in a timely way. We will be back, and we’ll bring friends.

   This is my new go to restaurant. I have been for both dinner and brunch - all excellent. The “collection” concept allows one to taste a variety of dishes - fantastic idea. For the brunch, one can order a “mini” Bloody Mary” along with one egg Benedict. At dinner recently shared the arugula fig salad, halibut & had the 1/2 portion of the lamb lollipops. My friend had the 1/2 portion of rib eye. All excellent and the wait staff is incredible! Since I did not want 2 glasses of wine, they offer a 2 ounce glass which was perfect.

   Complicated menu explained by friendly host; the 'food flight' was an odd grouping of food choices, though tasty. A tiny bowl of gumbo was $14, and a full size version of an entree at more than double the price of the small plate was not much larger. Service was fine.

   Wow! This was the best meal I’ve had out in a very long time. Our server gave us great advice and the deliciousness of the deviled eggs w a fried oyster and bechamel(?) on top sounded strange but tasted AMAZING! Every bite was truly spectacular. The four of us raved about the food and service. My back was to the dining room so little comment on the ambiance. Happy to spend the money here - they earned it. Will go back and recommend it endlessly. Yum!

   The idea of a three-course tasting menu is great. The fact that all three courses come to your table at the same time is not great. Instead of enjoying each plate you end up with one dish that is nice and hot, one dish that is lukewarm, and one dish that is stone cold. Even if you eat off of all three plates at the same time it is impossible to enjoy all the food at the proper temperature, much less also enjoy the wine pairings. A fine enough idea that for me was let down by the execution.

   The food was great but the service was so slow. It took forever to get a drink. I mean forever. We were there for 3 hours. Very inattentive service, I couldn’t even get someone to get the check.

   No one was at the door for the majority of the evening. It took ten minutes to even get a drink order taken. It took another ten minutes to get a food order taken. We waited for our entrees for 40 minutes. We ordered med rare and they came well done. No one came to see if we were enjoying our food until we were half way through our food. We didn’t bother sending it back to wait another 40 minutes to eat. None of it was properly seasoned - some of it no seasoning whatsoever and some of it wildly over seasoned. Three guests sitting around us while we were waiting for our food were served their food without silverware. Horrendous experience - it was an empty Monday or Tuesday night.

    Great atmosphere and ambiance. We sat at the bar and enjoyed full menu. A large group from an event next door ended up coming in soon after we arrived so sound level became noisier than upon arrival and was quite busy but overall wasn’t an issue. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and nicely presented.
