It was very pretty inside, but the overall experience was just mediocre. Good: - Tomahawk steak was delicious, absolutely amazing - my cocktail (sour w egg whites) was very good - carrots and mushrooms were good side dishes - restaurant was beautifully decorated Bad: - staff was pretentious - we felt rushed to eat and didn't have much time since they kept sending "experiences" our way - sending the awkward experiences to our table (astrology reader, magician) didn't align with an upscale restaurant and felt cheap (although it was not cheap at all). It felt like walking through time square and all the performers jumping in front of us for money - steak and tuna tartar were both very bland as were some of the side dishes - many bones in the fish. My small portion had 6-7 read more

Camille is the best! Really nice service. 10/10 the entire staff made my party feel very welcomed. They even treated to multiple birthday shots. read more

The food was really good. To start, we had half a dozen oysters which were spot on. The sauce was amazing. I wish the oysters were a bit bigger, but I'm from the south so I'm a little spoiled when it comes to Oysters. We also had the truffle fries which were phenomenal. For the main, I had the lamb and my friend had the chicken. We ordered a side of mashed potatoes. The lamb was some of the best lamb I've ever had. The chicken was a little dry, but still good. If you have a choice between the two definitely go with the lamb! Our service was really good, probably because we were two girls but the tables around us had a lack of urgency when it came to service. Our server was hilarious and had great recommendations. You have to place your full food order at once. If you go at around 10, they have dancers and after the place turns into a bar! Overall really fun! read more

The service is excellent here and the food is really good but it's extremely overpriced. Even by NY standards. The servings are a good size, so it is less about the food being overpriced and more about the drinks being overpriced. The martinis start at $26. It's a great spot for birthdays and special occasions. You can also get a cake and sparklers for $80. The chicken (although over $100) is very good and the ribeye is great (also almost $200). read more

This is a wonderful experience and I went in expecting a five star experience. We had the 5 course menu and added an extra cavier option which was excellent. The first 3 courses were excellent but the baked sirloin for main and chocolate cake were terrible. The steak was the size of a saltine cracker and inedible. It was a single piece of gristle that I had to sit out on the plate. The chocolate cake option was edible but it was dry and tasteless. The apple tart option was much better. Our server Morgan was wonderful and the service and ambience were 5 stars but for a $650 bill our expectations were higher. I'd go back and probable eat in the tavern and not dining room. read more

Story time: My roommate recently visited New York (we're from California) for her 30th birthday. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the trip. As a way to surprise her I had reached out to Maison Close via email to inquire about purchasing a bottle for the table. I had previously left a message via voicemail and never received a response (I probably should've taken that as a hint). But to my surprise they responded to my email & said they could help me out. I gave them my phone number but never received a call or response regarding the bottle/payment. I followed up with another email & no reply. I understand you're a nice restaurant in New York and you're probably busy. At that point I had taken the loss and moved on. The reason I am giving them a 2 star rating is because they then decided to tell my roommate & her friends they had reached out and never got ahold of me. Putting blame on a customer that isn't even there is rude and unprofessional. I would post the receipts here as proof but it's not worth my time. I'm sure their food is good but they could work on their customer service. read more

@theviplistnyc called it first, but it looks like we have a new Bagatelle in Soho. @maisoncloserestaurant opened its doors a few months ago, bringing Parisian fare and extravagance back to New York. Unlike most party brunch establishments, the food here is actually good, which is in large part due the restaurant's executive chef @geoffrey_lechantoux . Lechantoux's accolades are far-reaching, having worked with internationally-acclaimed chefs @alainducasse and @gordongram at several Michelin-star and iconic restaurants, including @lelouisxvmonaco @trianonpalaceversailles @plaza_athenee @lejulesverneparis and @benoitny . The cocktail program also rivals the theatrics of the ambiance here, with my personal faves being La Turlutte (their version of a French 75) and La Cocotte (this one is smoked with apple wood that's released at the table). In terms of the food, get the escargot here; they're drowned in garlic and parsley butter served with slices of fresh baguette. Their Croissant au Homard du Maine (their spin on a lobster roll, swapping the roll for a croissant) is a must order as well, and this is coming from a person who embarrassingly avoids lobster rolls in Martha's Vineyard like the plague. Also shockingly, their Oeuf Parfait was the silent hero of the meal - the eggs are poached in red wine and served with a medley of pork belly, hearty croutons and a red wine jus; though it's pegged as an appetizer, I had it as my entrée, which left me not feeling overly stuffed. And lastly, don't do what we did and not order the truffle fries; they looked incredible at the table next two us with the most generous amount of shaved black truffle on top. If you're not interested in champagne showers, Maison Close has a regular brunch 12/12:30pm on weekends before closing the curtains for the more raucous festivities around 2pm/3pm. As for dinner service that starts around 6pm Tuesday - Friday and 7:30pm on Saturdays, with the party picking back up again around 9/10pm. -------- IG: @dinelikeaduchess read more

This place is INSANE! Special thanks to their chef. Food deserves 10 stars! The waiters Kouskous, Jonas and Nicko should have their own show! Me and my six friends had the best time celebrating birthday. FINALLY New York has a place with amazing clubby atmosphere with Michelin star quality of food. If you want to surprise your guests order bottles of champagne! They will be brought to your table by the funnest crew dressed in costumes. We Mason Close! Can't thank you guys enough. read more

THANK YOU CAMILLE! My friends and I came here for a bachelorette party on a Sunday. It was super crowded and lively, and we had the best server named Camille who took care of us every step of the way I made sure that our bride felt special. Thank you so much to the whole incredible staff!!!! read more

This place is a scam. They harassed us throughout our entire meal to meet some minimum that they made up and changed every time they talked to us. Which was constantly, so much so that we did not enjoy our meal. The general manager was unprofessional and ruined our experience. We would have met the minimum if we could have just sat and ordered drinks and food without being pressured and harassed throughout our meal. I will never go back and would never suggest it to anyone. Over priced and mediocre!! Oh- and not to mention the place was empty and the "show" didn't even happen. The server was very nice and accommodating though, he was the one saving grace of this horrific experience. read more

amazing place for brunch, great service and food. loved my time here. highly recommend

I loved this place so much I went two nights in a row. The first night my friend and I tried the fois gras, artichoke, and the sweet breads. They were all delicious but I especially liked the fois gras and I believe it is their best seller from the appetizers. The second night we had the summer salad, the lamb, and the fois gras again. I was blown away by the lamb and my friend was amazed at how delicious it was-she is Greek so she knows good lamb! We couldn't decide if we loved the lamb or the fois gras more. When I went last month my friends and I tried the cote de beouf and it was insanely good. If you love espresso martinis this place makes the best ones I've ever had and if you appreciate wine ask for the wine list it is epic. I went Friday and Saturday so it was dinner that turned into a festive, fun vibe with music and people getting champagne. Every time I go I meet interesting people great for eating and socializing. The actual restaurant is beautiful and the service was good so we are definitely going back I'd like to come in to try the brunch, the lobster croissant looks good! They really know how to make sure you enjoy your time there. read more

Came here for Brunch with my Girls on Sunday. We love a brunch turn to party at around 4pm this place is a vibe!! Drinks were great but the food was better. Loved the staff here, super friendly and kind! Naoufal, our server was epic!! Knew the menu inside out, and recommend all the best things we had to try! He recommended the lobster roll on a CROISSANT! With someone who loves lobster rolls and croissants - these two together were mind blowing. See pic! It's a must order! Can't wait to come back for dinner! Will update once we try the Dinner menu! read more

Food was not good. Ambiance was weird. service was sub par. big waste. The salad had no dressing, the eggs were cold, the best part was the bread and butter. read more

Very mediocre restaurant. The type of place that's known for being ritzy but actually isn't. Food is meh (there's wayyy better French food in the city at the same or cheaper price), service is awful, and they didn't even "turn up" vibe/music wise even though it was a Friday around 8-10 pm. Their cocktails were good but otherwise a miss, do not recommend. read more

Came here with a group of friends for the 2nd seating for dinner. The hostesses were very accommodating, the servers were professional and provided great service.

Maison Close Restaurant - Seafood tower, truffle fried and artichaut a la barigoule (slowly steamed artichokes) - French Near Me - New York, New York

Food was cold. Service was very slow. They have a lot of staff standing around and it takes 15+min for a drink. They said the show was going to happen soon when they Sat us at 1pm and it didn't start until 4pm. When the show did start, there was burlesque and then they pulled people up to dance. They told my friend that his sheer tank top was inappropriate while there was a girl in a black see through lace dress with underwear on dancing. They waited until after we paid the bill 4 hours into us being there to tell him he wasn't dressed appropriately. Never experienced such obviously discriminatory service in nyc. Very disappointing. Would not recommend. read more

Went here last night for a farewell dinner for one of our friends. Our server Camille was extremely attentive and helpful in recommending wine pairings and offering her honest opinion of certain dishes which is extremely valuable. Overall we had an amazing time, it was not too crowded on a Tuesday evening. The fettuccini with truffles (although pricy) is one of the best things on the menu. I ordered the Filet which was cooked perfectly. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. 5/5 experience read more

Maison Close Restaurant - Oysters, Tuna Tartare, Artichoke Salad - French Near Me - New York, New York

The place is beautiful. Vibe is fun definitely a go to spot for a day party. However, the food is mediocre at best. Stay away from the lobster roll. The croissant is dry and hard and the lobster is chewy almost like it's old. The avocado toast and tuna tartare were the best things that we ordered. Service was also mediocre. Our waitress was kind of rude and there seemed to be a language barrier between us and her. read more

Placed a reservation request online to join their brunch service 2 months in advance. They never responded until the day before without apologizing for the delayed response. Completely rude and unacceptable service for a restaurant asking $250 minimum per person. There is so much supply of fancy restaurants in NYC and such unacceptable behavior is just not worth your $$$$ or the hype. Rather spend that money at Kyma brunch party or something else. Stay away! read more

Ehhhhhhhhh Could be better Very crowded Waiter proudly announced the specials then told us they were out lmao read more

Went for a birthday dinner here. I always love an interactive dinner so I was looking forward to trying this spot out but this just wasn't it. We went to the bar after dinner. The actual show is short and not memorable. We left halfway through. read more

Surprisingly delicious food! We got the escargot, gnocchi and fish. The espresso martini is also great. Service and ambiance are amazing. We got a 8pm reservation and thought we would get the show, but I guess that doesn't start until after 10 so we missed it. Would love to go back and see some of the party aspect! read more

I didn't remember making reservations at this restaurant but I'm glad I did. I got a glimpse of France from the servers to the cuisine. This was my favorite out of the bunch of eatery. The oysters and seafood in general were fresh. I got a drink called La Choutchout (I hope I spelled that right) which if like mojitos you'll love this. The servers were so friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I went to Maison Close for a birthday brunch for my friend. We arrived at the time of our reservation, and the restaurant was basically empty, and yet it took them at least 10 minutes to "get our table ready". At times the meal felt rushed, but Gregory was pleasant and accommodating. We had to get up before wanting to, BUT, that can be attributed to a crazy second seating. Back to Gregory, upon getting up, he constantly made sure not only myself was okay and happy, but the BIRTHDAY GIRL was okay. He brought my original 2 stars to a 5 and i swear we will return. love you Gregory, MEAN IT, and look forward to next time. This is Gregory speaking now, "I look forward to it too and THANK YOU! Love you mean it MORE!" read more

Delicious! Loved the space . The staff so sweet (YES!) and I believe mostly French! Highly recommend trying frog legs and French onion soup!!! Great location too, close to all the great shops and art stores read more

Totally disappointed!!! They made us pay $1300 for two hours and was asked to leave. The service wasn't the best and the people were very rude for no reason! I do not recommend! This place is very tacky and distasteful. My experience was terrible. The food was decent but there are so many other restaurants in New York that offer the same food with a better experience. Also NO SHOW was done during the experience. AWFUL! read more

Food, drinks and service are beyond what I expected! What an amazing experience! Absolutely recommend this place!

Food was SO GOOD! Service was also amazing! Came here for a party and had a lot of fun

f you want scrumptious actual French food by a top tier chef and amazing vibes plus elegant decor then this is your spot. Music is on point, the staff is amaze and they have an impressive selection of wines. Every single person that goes knows this is fine and great quality food plus drinks and service. If you have a tight budget then look elsewhere vs. complain about their business model lol Fun fact and everyone in the scene knows this kind of fun ambiance is common in France in Paris and the South etc... this is not a Bagatelle thing but more fun edgy French. Also many of their employees are Egyptian, Francophone African, French, etc... it's very global and edgy :) read more

This place is essentially a tourist trap. Bridge and tunnel clientele. Cheesy fake french waiters with Pepe Le Peu fake accents while they're serving you (and meanwhile we overheard them speaking with a NY accent while they were huddled up on their breaks) WILDLY overpriced entrees. TICKY-TACKY. Avoid. read more

This was my first time coming here. Upon entering, the sleek modern decor and dim light had me feeling like I was in the middle of a romantic movie filming. All the staff was super friendly and attentive. Camille our waitress was great. Her food recommendations were on point. I especially loved the veal- cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. I'd definitely return back for a date or dinner with friends. read more
