   Great food, great ambiance, and the curated tasting entrees is a terrific idea--allowing you to order just the amount of food you want and at a price you can afford. Highly recommend the halibut and any of the wine flights.

   It’s a pleasant place to dine. The portions are weird. If you get the assembly of 3 different dishes, it’s enough food for 2 or 3. If you get just a single entree, the portion seems small in comparison. Still, the food is well done and the service is professional, solicitous,and unobtrusive. We’ll go there again. It is a bit noisy but not overwhelmingly so.

   I would come more often if I lived in the area! Pork was delicious. Highly recommend the rhubarb pie. Love the decorations. Staff was very friendly.

   Sadly, we did not realize that Christmas was a prix fixe. These are usually disappointments and this dinner fell right in line. The food was a serious disappointment, and for the price paid...ouch! Service certainly lacked polish, but tried hard. Cocktails were delicious and the coconut cake, divine....the rest, truly mediocre. That said, we will return to give it a fair shot. A holiday, prix fixe menu is usually not representative of a kitchen's potential.

   Went for the prix fixe on Christmas. My dinner looked (and tasted) microwaved; my mother's was blackened salmon in what can only be described as a bath of clam chowder, which looked heinous and, according to her, tasted awful. The cheesecake tasted sour and the coconut cake was waterlogged. Disappointing and a little horrifying.

   We had a Christmas dinner at Margeaux. The restaurant was packed, and service a little slow but attentive. The dining room was not too noisy even completely full, and the food was amazing as usual. Highly recommended.

   The food was amazing! We were there Christmas Eve (made an early reservation to avoid the rush) for the special dinner and it did not disappoint. Lamb lollipops, Beef Wellington, Shrimp Scampi, Salmon with Crab cream sauce. So, so good. The small plates are much larger than most small plates and we all left with very full tummies. The service staff were very friendly, which we appreciated. We were attended to by several of them, which perhaps led to some hiccups. We had to ask for our table bread, but when it arrived it was fresh out of the oven and delicious. We were served 4 desserts but only 3 forks. That was quickly rectified. After dinner, my husband asked 3 different people for a specific type of sherry, and it was the last person who finally got back to us and said they only had one kind. None of these slights were deal breakers, but just a little tightening up would make this place exceptional. We wouldn't hesitate to go back.

   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.
