Outstanding food and service. Appetizer of foie gras was excellent and the magret canard with brussels sprouts and an orange sauce in a gravy boat was a perfect presentation for those who would like a choice of using the sauce. My preference has always been seared RARE duck breast served plain and thinly sliced. But this evening I did dip some of my duck into the sauce and was pleasantly surprised. My dinner partner felt her seared scallops were outstanding. My 10 year old son devoured his hamburger topped with a "ton" of melted gooey cheese and his frites were to his liking. My son and I have dined out together for 7 years and he is the perfect dinner companion with good manners and is a quiet conversationalist. I would not bring a child to Ma Maison who cannot maintain appropriate decorum that respects other diners. Two couples who shared a table next to us engaged my son in a conversation as we were leaving. At the end they brought me into the conversation and asked, "Can we take him home with us?" Of course I politely declined all the while thinking, "You could never afford him!" :-))

This is my new favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, I live on the South Shore in Hull so I need to make a plan to get in there, but it is the best I’ve had since before Covid. Homey, fabulous food, great variety in the menu, excellent service. It’s like a place out of the past. It’s so good.

Decent traditional French dishes. Service was good. Wine list is reasonably priced. The one downside is that you get a burst of cold air every time a customer enters or leaves the restaurant. Overall positive experience
