Review A La Maison Bistro - Ardmore

Hands down the best Steak Frites I’ve ever had. I’m picky about my steak and it was prepared perfectly. The specials looked great, portions are generous, but not onerous. The seared scallops special appetizer and French onion soup were fantastic, and the various pate and charcuterie trays looked amazing. Great, laid-back atmosphere, with excellent, attentive, friendly service. A friend and I stopped in on a whim, and now we are definitely coming back, and bringing friends!

Delightful. An evening affair. Not an empty seat in the house so recommend reservations. Beautifully decorated. The scallop appetizer was topped with the perfect sauce. The quail was stuffed with delicious mushrooms and chestnuts and cooked to perfection. The music was a wonderful back drop to a festive evening with friends. Plenty of parking in the back. The service was exceptional and timely. Would be a perfect venue for a company lunch-dinner. Would love to see a breakfast added as an alternative local choice.

I am vegan and they have a delicious beet salad. They also have ratatouille and other salads. I ate something before I arrived knowing they are a traditional French restaurant, so I wouldn't suffer. It is beautifully decorated, service is close to excellent--The back server served my husband before me. (As a former server myself, I know the ladies and children are supposed to be served before the gents.) My husband had the sampler appetizer, beef medallions and brought his own bottle of red. No corkage fee! Our server, Kate, is great! Everyone was friendly and helpful and knowledgable. We arrived within an hour before closing so they didn't have anymore of the chocolate cake. Next time we will arrive earlier. Need to make a reservation, however. I did not use the restroom while there, so I can't comment on that yet. We will return!

The brisket sandwich at lunch time was greasy. It's very dark and gloomy inside. They have outdoor seating but service was terrible out there. Waited close to two hrs for our dinner and by that time, no one really was in the mood to eat, it just got to late. We did get a complimentary bottle of wine for the table because of the wait and mix up in our orders. Won't go back, food just isn't exciting.

OMG, this place was outstanding. The service was perfect, and the food was even better. The staff was helpful, attentive and friendly without being intrusive. We loved the escargot, European bread, salmon and a huge, wonderful bouillabaisse seafood dish. The dessert menu was a bit disappointing as a French restaurant, but our cheesecake selection was wonderful. We'll be back anytime we're in the area!

My husband and I walked in on a slow Saturday around 7:30 PM in August. We were hoping to find a spot for a quality evening coffee. The restaurant has a separate seating area/coffee bar for just that. At the time we walked in, it was empty - not one person was seated there. The rest of the restaurant wasn’t that full either. Despite not being busy when we indicated we wanted to sit at the coffee bar for just a coffee we were told that a minimum charge is required. While I can kind of understand this because it was a Saturday night, at the same time, considering that they weren’t that busy I found it to be quite dismissive and poor customer service, to say the least.

The menu was a bit pricier than expected, but completely worth it. The restaurant is small and welcoming, with a comfortable outdoor area as well. The waitress was kind, came by regularly, and made great suggestions, which we took. Everything we had tasted delicious, including the pâté plate, the escargo, and a mocha cheesecake. I honestly couldn't recommend this place more.

I go to this lovely spot a lot! This is the best place to to have a good dinner. I visit this spot frequently. The meals are very tasty, the staff is courteous and the payment is affordable. I like being in this spot for a tasty supper.
