    Toast with strawberries, bananas and nuts.
    Paul M.

    My wife and I were attracted to Maison because it has the same owner as Giana Bakery and Provisions, which is one of our favorite restaurants. I ordered the Kale salad and added salmon. It did not disappoint! The salad was very flavorful and the kale was the perfect texture. The salmon was crispy on the outside and moist and tender in the inside. It was pretty expensive, but absolutely worth it. My wife ordered toast with strawberries, bananas and nuts. She enjoyed it very much. The place is very nicely decorated and our service was excellent. It was a great experience. Unfortunately, I hear the restaurant will be closing at the end of the year. I will definitely visit again before that happens.

    Love this place for a get together/ brunch with my boyfriend. Their menu feels really cohesive and for a coffee lover this place is a must go to! Wait time is usually an hour or two weekends but its a great walking place if you want to stroll with your family or dog! This restaurant feels cozy and is nice they have a porch so you can sip your coffee and feel the sun

    Cute brunch place in the middle of town. Went for a weekend brunch situation. Parking was a bit tough, but found some street parking eventually. Was sat immediately - def make an RSVP if you go. Ordered their duck confit dish, a quiche, and Dutch baby. The duck dish and quiche were ok - like well made but memorable. The Dutch baby was delicious and served as a good desert. What was a bit off with the restaurant is that there is no ketchup available - was given some sort of mildly spicy sauce instead. I like my eggs with ketchup often, especially when it's a little on the bland side, so not having this with the quiche was no bueno.

    This place is amazing! I actually found Maison on yelp searching restaurants in Dana Point. The patio is dog friendly and they even brought out this cute dog bowl with water. My husband and I dined here to celebrate our baby moon. We made a reservation for the patio at 5:45pm on a Saturday but the patio never filled so maybe they would've accepted walk ins. The food was so good! We shared everything. The bread came with butter and olive oil and vinegar, but the butter was my favorite. I actually boxed up the leftover bread to take home! For our entrees we shared the branzino special, steak, and risotto. The portions were huge and we took a lot home. I love that the fish basically came with a salad on top. We loved dinner so much we tried stopping in for breakfast on our way back to San Diego after our trip but they're closed on Mondays. We'll have to try breakfast another time.

    Took a couple of colleagues here for a business meal. It was perfect. Casual yet cool. Food was amazing. Ordered the Kale salad, warm olives, bistecca and the tagliatelle. Every thing was wonderful. So sad this restaurant has closed. We will miss it

    A charming and spacious brunch spot in downtown Dana Point! The interior is filled with beautiful natural lighting and French decor. We were seated promptly on a weekend afternoon. Their pastry display looked delicious and filled with kouign amann, muffins, and cinnamon rolls. We decided to order their very popular Dutch baby and steak and eggs. The Dutch baby was light and fluffy. It was delicious when paired with strawberries and cream. The bavette steak was cooked nicely and seasoned well. The toast was delectable as well. Not many brunch spots capture our attention, but this one definitely did. We would love to come back to try their other dishes!

    We needed a half way point to meet friends and we found this beautiful and happy spot. The service was awesome and the food was yummy. We all enjoyed it and glad we discovered it. I had a delicious and filling frittata. Also excellent cappuccino.

    I had been here before for lunch and breakfast. This time I had dinner and am posting my first review about Maison. Dana Point has many "okay/good" restaurants. Maison joins a smaller group of "very good" restaurants in this town. My group of six ordered a lot of food. So much that we decided to take some home and eat them as leftovers. One indicator I use to measure a very good/great meal is to taste the "leftover food" the next day. Too often the left overs taste salty and oily. Not so for my Maison meal. It tasted like a delicacy. I've had excellent breakfasts, lunches and now a dinner at Maison and I now feel strongly to recommend it as one of the best in Dana point. The environment/setting was perfect for us complete with a talented guitarists and singer and excellent waiter. I'll be back!

    Amazing service great food you will not be disappointed. My husband made a reservation the day before and really glad we did as they won't take reservations the day of. We had 11 am on a Sunday and had outside patio seating. Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. Everything was done to perfection.

    Cappuccino

    The D'affinois is the best appetizer I've ever had! The combination of the sautéed mushrooms, d'affinois cheese and honey on the slice of baguette is now top 5 things I've ever eaten. Service was fantastic! Very great date place.

    Side of sausage - good flavor!
    Katie K.

    Overall cute place for brunch with the girls! Our larger party was seated quickly in a great sunny spot inside. The champignon toast was my absolute favorite - savory and delicious on crispy bread. The duck confit was also good, but the bread was not as crispy in some areas. The duck hash had sweet potatoes & poached egg that were a little more cooked than I would prefer but still tasty.

    I'll say the Dutch baby was quite highly reviewed but wasn't anything special. maybe my fault for reading reviews that overhyped it (ppl said it rendered pancakes obsolete) lol but it was pretty mediocre and normal. suggest getting anything else. also the water glasses are frustratingly tiny, you'll have to refill it constantly and they basically didn't give any service on that front. my bf got the steak and eggs w potato, he enjoyed that but the skin on potato was so tough you can't even bite through some of them.

    The flat white with oat milk was really good!
    Samantha D.

    I've seen this restaurant so many times when we drive by it or go to Bear Coast (the coffee shop across the street). I can't believe this was my first time here- it was amazing! Came for a girl's lunch and it was perfect for that. Eating brunch here is like a beautiful adult tea party with delicious food. The ambiance is so sweet and charming- from the French-style decor to the beautiful dishes with intricate designs on them. The servers are quick and friendly. I got the ricotta toast- it had ricotta with blueberry and honey, and it was so yummy and filling. I also had a flat white with oat milk that was really good too. Love it here!

They then pair it with a house made lemon butter sauce which was truly next level. I wish I could've bottled it to have for later. lol. The coleslaw was light and delicious. It stood strong on its own, though it paired so well with the halibut and the lemon butter sauce I would consider it as a personal must with therir halibut. The service was absolutely amazing. My server was super kind, attentive, and had friendly banter. They kitchen is open and you can see everything being prepared which was super cool.

They open their reservations 30 days ahead and I definitely recommend getting a reservation since they usually book up, including weekdays! We came here on a Wednesday and it was packed. Not sure if everyone knows but there was a hidden parking lot behind the restaurant. It seemed like everyone did street parking. We ordered their famous champion tomato and cheese and the la foresta. Both pizzas were excellent. The champion cheese was really awesome. You can really taste the fresh tomatos and cheese. The crust was super crackly. They definitely nailed the crispiness. The la foresta had a nice dollop of ricotta on each slice that helped with the balance of the richness. Get the soft serve at the end of the meal! The issue was that the pizzas were super crispy and chewy that your jaw starts hurting to the point that you get kind of sore. However, I think it's totally a preference thing. There was also a wait of 25 min for your pizza since it was really busy. Aside from that, the service was excellent. Our server took really good care of us. Also, even though this was outdoor seating only, this spot was beautiful. They have lemon vines around and lots of great lighting inside. We'll definitely want to be back but probably when the hype of this place dies down a bit.
