Chicken kimchi potstickers
Tony T.

What we had... Prix-Fix 1: Chicken Kimchi Potstickers Roasted Shrimp with Penne pasta Oatmeal cookie sandwich with ice cream Prix-Fix 2: Caesar salad Pan Seared Scallops Margaux's Crème brûlée We wanted to try a different restaurant in Raleigh so we checked Yelp and noticed Margaux's. The restaurant is tucked away in the back of Brennan Station on Creedmoor Road. My wife and I visited there on a Saturday evening. The parking can be tight in that area, but was not too bad when we went. We arrived for our 6:30 reservation. I would recommend placing a reservation on weekends as there was a lot of people coming in after we were seated. However, now I understand why so many people dine there. The atmosphere is very nice. I would say the atmosphere is casual New Orleans. Our waiter was prompt and did a great job explaining any dish we had questions about. For the food, the potstickers were great. Two large potstickers, fried well, not only. The tang of the kimchi was a great addition to the flavor. The side salad was fresh and the sweet chili sauce was a must-have to put in the potstickers. The roasted shrimp with penne was very good too. Fresh is the best word I can give for the entre. Everything had a light taste, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the tomato based sauce would be good on just about anything, so much flavor! The only thing I would have wanted was some additional shrimp. The entree came with only four shrimp. No complaints about the taste, but I think it dish should have included a few more. The oatmeal cookie desert was a surprise. I asked our waitress beforehand about it and she thought I might like so I tried it....Good choice! It reminds me of an upscaled oatmeal cookie sandwich. The cookie was rich, the filling was not too sweet. The raspberry sauce on top was perfect to cut through the richness of the cookie. The sandwich sat on what looked like whipped cream, but was actually softened ice cream. Last, there was a caramel sauce under everything that just brought everything together nicely. The desert is rich and heavy, but so good. My wife's Caesar salad, she mentioned it had a great taste, the dressing was especially memorable, fresh, light and full of flavor. The pan seared scallops were tender and sweet, just as they should be. The broccoli cooked well, still having a dark green color and retained a nice bite, not mushy. The mango chili sauce added a lot of flavor to the dish. The menu showed green beans as one of the sides, but I believe they may not have had any when we visited, so broccoli was substituted. There were no objections! Again, the only complaint from my wife was that there were only three scallops on the plate, one more would have been welcomed. Not an issue, just being picky! For desert, she had the crème brûlée. She loved it! The custard was very creamy, not too sweet and the caramelized sugar top was golden brown and brittle as expected. The combination of those flavors worked well together. Overall, we had a very fine dinner that night. The atmosphere was relaxed, staff personable and attentive. It was our anniversary and our waitress gave us a hand written card congratulating us on our celebration and many more. We'll definitely return, most likely with a few more people in tow!

Last minute booking for a Saturday night out. Prior to coming I checked out the menu and saw the three course offering. The Caesar salad was good and a great start the courses. A mixture of breads consisting of corn bread, a baguette and rye bread came after ordering. Great light paring with the salad and entree. Next was the salmon on a bed of mashed potatoes and green beans. The salmon was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. This was one of my top salmon dishes I've had when considering the presentation, flavor and temperature of the salmon. Lastly, I paired my meal with a key lime pie. A suitable portion to share a few bites. This was a lovely night out with a great pairing of courses.

Pleasantly surprised upon walking in. Not what I was expecting with a funky decor and vibe with above average menu and choices. Loved it and looking forward to going back. Cocktail crafted well.

I took a risk trying a new restaurant on New Year's Eve and was so happy that I did. We looked for a place with a new years menu and loved what Margaux had to offer. They were fully booked but we came anyways and everyone at the front (hostess, servers, manager) were so nice and accommodating and luckily found us a table that happened to be empty at the upper level next to the bar. The restaurant was really nice and lively inside and there was a wonderful jazz duo playing all night that made the ambience even better. Multiple people checked on us all night and there was always someone to refill a drink or take/bring a plate. 10/10 service. The food!!!! WAS AMAZING!!!! I honestly don't have many nice dinner restaurants that I consider extremely well-rounded but every course of this dinner was so good that we've been planning the next time we'll be back for their regular menu. The new years 3-course dinner was completely worth $110 per person and there were so many good options it was hard to choose. First course: We both got lobster cakes. They were so good. From the butter sauce on the plate, the potato salad underneath the cake, the cake itself, and the crab on top. 10/10. Second course: Grilled filet of beef over mashed potatoes with lobster nuggets and asparagus. This dish was fantastic. I would get this any day. It was the perfect plate. My partner got the lobster tail with clams and fettuccine. The lobster was great and the fettuccine was good to me but he preferred it to be a bit more creamy. Third course: Brown sugar blondie tart with caramel apples and cherry gingersnap cheesecake. They both were so good and flavorful but we were so full at this point. We also got a couple of drinks that were great as well which was a plus. Our whole experience here was great and this has definitely been added to my top places list.

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time and made reservations for their Monday evening special which includes a three course meal for 28.95! They have a prix fixe menu with several choices. I ordered the Caesar salad, salmon with mashed potatoes and snap peas, and chocolate mousse. I also ordered the French onion soup because I just had to try it. Unbeknownst to me, they also serve a delicious bread basket that include corn bread and a loaf of another bread which was amazing. I was very very impressed with the corn bread. The Caesar salad was okay, and the French onion soup was great. By the time my salmon came out, I was already pretty full so only ate a few bites and had the rest for lunch the next day. Had to save room for the dark chocolate mousse which was a generous size and very filling. The table also had an order of truffle fries which were good and I trie fine peanut butter cake and bread pudding - both EXCELLENT. I couldn't pick a favorite dessert out of the three we had at our table, all excellent in their own ways. I will definitely make it a priority to return for another Monday Mahem!

94.5 health grade posted the night of our visit. The bar service was great and friendly. The table service was average. The menu offered interesting and unique dishes. Our food was average with orders of Heritage Pork Loin / cranberries; Chicken; and Peppercorn crusted steak. The steak was the most appreciated dish. Our appetizers were good to include dip / won ton chips; spring rolls and a special latke. The desserts were fine with the hot fudge sundae being a disappointment. We are glad we visited but we will likely not return for a while.

What a cool spot! Lots to look at here...love the decor! And the menu changes EVERY DAY. Decided to visit for my birthday dinner. It was disappointing to find out they close so early at 9pm (on a Friday!) but glad we got the little time we did here. Food was top notch and so different than what you'd see on a normal American menu. Cocktails were great. Was sad I didn't get any little dessert or celebration of any kind for my birthday dinner but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I could tell wait staff was ready to go home. Lol. Overall, I'd definitely visit again.

Our evening menu

Just wow! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding. The ambiance was inviting. I was there with a large party and the restaurant navigated the party with exception. I will be back.

When one upgrades to fries I expect it to be an upgraded fry. It was fine. Our second server was very sweet but the service overall left something to be desired. There was no table visit at any time and I was grateful for the incredible company because outside that, this spot didn't make the grade.

Typically restaurants that have open main dining areas cause a lot of noise which can make it difficult for polite conversation, but I won't knock that against them. Service was pleasant and attentive. The server admitted the kitchen was running behind and gave us a free bread basket and kept our drinks full. The portions were well sized. What prevents this restaurant from being "S Tier" is that there's nothing unique or exceptional about the restaurant. It is exactly what you'd expect but nothing more. Parking was easy with the parking garage nearby. I would certainly return and recommend to others.

My fries were served hot but needed some salt. I asked for my burger to be cooked well done but I was brought a burnt burger. I took one bite but it was too overcooked. I then requested that my server have my burger be cooked medium well so I didn't get another burnt burger. When my burger was brought back out, our server had me cut into my burger to make sure it was to my liking. The preparation was better but it was bland and tasted like there wasn't any seasoning on it. After this our server wasn't as attentive anymore. For dessert we got the donuts. They were served warm and I enjoyed them with the cherry sauce. I did not like the chocolate sauce that was served with the donuts.

The wine list is broad and thoughtfully curated, with options that feel approachable whether you're a casual wine drinker or someone looking to try something new.

The space itself is adorable, with eclectic décor and cozy lighting that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. It's a great spot for conversation and a relaxed evening with friends. The only downside is that the space is fairly small, and I would have loved to see one or two more lower seating options for small groups rather than mostly high tops.

That board was so good--I can't stop thinking about it. The toasted baguette slices with truffle salami and mustard? Unreal. It was the perfect little snack to share. We also had the citrus lavender crème brûlée, which was surprisingly delicious. I don't usually go for crème brûlée, but this one was light, not overly sweet, and just had a really nice flavor. I've also tried their shepherd's pie before and loved it--wish it was still on the menu! The vibe inside is moody and cozy, and they've got a cute outdoor patio too. Overall, such a great spot. A little pricey, but I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend checking out Killer Queen.

My best friend and I had Friday, July 3rd off so we decided to get here when they opened at noon. There is what seems at first a long road from the highway to the winery. Since I was one of the first people there, I was a bit confused about where to park but figured it out relatively easily. Walking up to main building, I loved the view. I loved all the outdoor seating and the rooftop bars. I really liked all of the covered spaces. But since it was SO HOT, we decided to sit inside. We started with a pear cider that was delicious. ($7.50 pint). We went up to the roof to look around but decided it was more comfortable inside. I then got a Procecco Rose ($9) and my friend got a Moscato Rose. The bartender poured us samples of both and it would have been nice if we'd both liked the same ones and we could have shared a bottle, but no dice. We walked around the other buildings and would have LOVED to spent more time outside. But two drinks was all we needed especially since we didn't partake in the food trucks parked out front. We were there for about 1.5 hours and it really started to get crowded, so we decided that was our cue to leave. I got a Diet Coke (can $2) before I cashed out. All of the bartenders were super nice and helpful. Most seemed to know what they were serving and were knowledgeable about recommendations. Even the restrooms were beautiful. And very clean! I wore jean shorts and top, while my friend wore a sundress. I saw all sorts of different outfits so I don't think there is a particular dress code here. Overall this was SO MUCH fun.

I am compelled to remind every resident and every visitor to make this a "must go to and enjoy" place for either brunch on Saturday or Sunday, or for dinner any night of the week. Go for the amazing cuisine, vast wine list, and stay for the outstanding service! Recently, we have found ourselves trying not to enjoy just our go-to favorites that are mainstays on the ever-evolving menu. We have been blown away by the flavors of the large plate option called Chicken Pimientos. Don't let the name throw you, because it's not super spicy, it just has a nice kick to it with delicious potatoes accompanying the very moist and flavorful chicken. The way the kitchen team at Barcelona handles the preparation of the eggplant caponata is impressive and very unique. Other favorites on the tapas section of the menu recently are stuffed piquillos, corn zucchini bunuelos (think fair food turned healthy!), Wagyu carpaccio, lamb kofta, and pulpo gallego. Remember that their tapas offerings rotate in and out, oftentimes based on the season and availability of fresh products. The wine offerings are unparalleled in the city of Raleigh, and when you visit for dinner on a Monday evening, every bottle is half-priced. Can't beat that for a way to jump-start your work week! We tend to sit at the bar on most visits as bartenders Kira and Cameron truly handle their bar with a welcoming vibe and impressive ease. General manager Jed is a visible leader of this great team and makes every guest feel appreciated. Awesome job all the way around!
