    Everything about Bistro Maison was great - with on exception. My wife ordered their burger, which states on the menu that it is 1.5” thick. “Medium Rare” was suggested, and my wife said it sounded good. When it arrived, it was seared on the outside and almost raw inside. The buns were soaked with juice. We asked for it to be cooked more, and to their credit, they gladly took the plate back to the kitchen. When it arrived again, it was pink in the middle and on a new bun. They cheerfully resolved the issue. And they had a cool way to celebrate her birthday! Nice work.

    Favorite restaurant in Oregon! Always a wonderful experience with excellent food and top notch service! The white truffle fondue is the absolute best and the peppercorn sauce on the steak Aux Poivre is so delicious and not to mention the saffron aioli frites sauce also keeps me coming back!

    A gem of a restaurant, everything we had was amazing and service was as good as it gets. Our server was very knowledgeable on wine. Speaking of; unreal wine list, look at it closely and if you’re sharp, there are a handful of stunning offerings and at prices that will make some jump to buy quickly. Great experience.

    We dined on the patio last Friday evening. The setting, service and food were all great! (Comfortable and attractive setting, friendly and helpful service, delicious food) No reason to drive to Portland, we have terrific dining right here in McMinnville. I enjoyed the scallops and my wife's salmon was terrific too. Save room for dessert. It is not an afterthought here. The strawberry pavlova/merengue was delicious and unique. We look forward to coming back soon.
