My husband & I picked this restaurant for our wedding anniversary & we were pleased with the delicious meals, the courtesy of the staff & the ambiance! To repeat…
I would give it 3.5 stars if i was able to .. 3 is too low, & 4 too high..
Lost points for A: price &
B: how long our first course took to arrive ... especially considering none of our food needed cooking except the ravioli..
( but as wife pointed out , there is a ticket order, but in my opinion this is where an experienced person to expedite shines )
Food price , for what we ordered at least, was a bit high...
it took 45 minutes for our food to start arriving.. but once it started, the following services were prompt..
I wonder how long it takes when capacity is full..
Service was friendly & attentive..
Space ( upstairs terrace) was pleasant, cozy & quiet..
The mushroom ravioli was a delight...
The yellow beet salad wonderful ( but overpriced)..
The charcuterie platter for 2 , ordinary & overpriced (that was the biggest let down) ... the smoked char was excellent...
Presentation was very good.
Complementary amuse bouche of Homemade pita with hummus as well as a lime granita pallet cleanser was a nice touch...
I will be returning & will choose better value dishes next time.. because on the dishes we tried.. cost to price charged, was 4 or 5 times cost..
when it s a dish that cannot be replicated by a home cook, that is ok.. but when it is not'fine dinning' then that is a bit high.
All in all a very nice evening & a nice meal... had we been charged $30 less , it would have been 4 stars.. my wife has been back a few times & she always enjoy the visits. i finally went back this june 2025 & this is what i thought . The staff is as friendly & unobtrusive as ever. i had endive & pleurotte salad & my wife had avocado salad on roquette with fruit.
i was not blown away by the pleurotte salad. it could have used one or two more mushrooms , & unfortunately the mushrooms had to much of the woody stem part left on. the endive was nicely shaved but the biggest issue was the dressing. it was desperately crying for some acid to brighten up the plate & counter act the bitterness of the endive. my wifes avocado salad was lovely. nice presentation & good mixture of richness , biterness & sweetness. i will have that in the future. my main was the bavette. i very much enjoyed it . it was tender & cooked on point . i was a bit let down that i got mash instead of fries . i had not been offered the choice so i assumed the fries were the default. this said ,the mash was very nice, they had it in a mound that was browned & crispy on the outside & fluffy & savory inside . Veg well cooked & tasty . the steak portion was generous for the price ($34) but they could add a bit more veg & potatoes , especially considering how little those cost. My wife had the squash ravioli ,good but not as good as usual . last time we had these we thought'oh my god, these are so good' this time it was adequate . the ravioli was $30 for 8 ravioli.. almost 4 bucks a ravioli.. desserts were good but on the overly sweet side. i had paris brest my wife had a bowl of ice cream trio. the bill .. avocado salad , pleurotte salad , squash ravioli , bavette , paris brest pastry , ice cream , glass of milk & one coffee was $135... its a bit on the high side , but i understand the economics . im looking forward to trying the trout, the boar & the smoked seafood trio
PS i did find myself reaching for the salt a few times... ( dont tell the chef)
my rating remains the same . its 3.5 this time the service was very prompt, but the dishes had more flaws than expected & the price is still a bit to high for bistro cuisine . but its still an enjoyable place for a good meal ,its always at the very least, good & the staff is very friendly & the terrace is the best spot in the house .
Amazing experience at this restaurant! They were extremely helpful in organizing our surprise retirement party. They reserved a private room upstairs for us. The food was delicious, well priced & served hot. Our waitress was exceptional, she was very attentive to all food restrictions & served everyone in our group quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will certainly be back again!
Nous avons été enchantées de notre visite à La Maison Verte. Le serveur était d'une gentillesse incomparable. La nourriture était délicieuse à tous points de vue dans une atmosphère de détente. Une petite suggestion serait d'apposer de petits coussins sur les chaises de la salle à manger. Expérience très agréable. Bravo!!!
Beginning with a warm welcome by the maître d', we spent a relaxing evening enjoying the view from the terrace while enjoying the excellent food & being pampered by two excellent waiters. The pre-show menu offered good value for your money & a selection of delicious food prepared with care & beautifully presented. It was refreshing to be able to sit back & enjoy conversation & the beautiful view of the river without being bothered by loud music. A memorable evening, Thank you to all the staff!
