Our Hash Bowl isn’t your typical hash... roasted

Our Hash Bowl isn’t your typical hash... roasted sweet potatoes, parsnips and celery root topped with wild arugula, two poached eggs ans finished with chef’s chimichuri.

If you’re feeling a little wild you can always add our house made sausage too.

Always delicious and always organic.

Duck confit for breakfast?
.
We think so.
.
One of our house favorites, our Duck Confit Tartine. Caramelized onions, melted brie cheese, peppery dressed wild arugula, a drizzle of our spicy honey and of course a bountiful amount of our duck confit.
.
You can get really wild and throw a fried egg on top... we are firm believers that a fried egg makes pretty much everything better.
.
Breakfast, lunch and wine server daily from 8am to 5pm and dinner is sever from 5pm to 9pm nightly.

Call in for reservations or just walk on in.

A message from Chef Danielle . Every once in a whi

A message from Chef Danielle
.
Every once in a while, I like to take a pause and take a moment to reflect at how incredible my life is, that every breath I get to take is a gift and how blessed am I to be living the dream I dreamt as a young girl.
.
I find it pretty ironic that the week that restaurants are allowed to reopen is the same week that I’m making the decision to shut us down for service. It took nearly a year for the crappy virus known as the novel coronavirus to find its way into my home. What a pain. Last night when I got home from Noah, my 15-year-old son, had a fever and sure enough when I woke him up this morning to check on him the symptoms have only progressed… it’s clear that I’ve finally been exposed first hand and now have to take serious measures to make sure that my team and my guests stay safe and Noah doesn’t suffer too much… other than the garlic apple cider vinegar concoction I plan on forcing on him.
.
Frustration is an emotion that I am not too familiar with… I’m a doer and a worker and if something is broke, I tend to be the first to research the quickest way to fix it and I find myself at a forced pause here. I’m sure in some ways it’s a needed pause. The amount of work and efforts my team and I have put in for the last year is almost mind boggling in hindsight… it was a fun challenge of how many times can you reinvent a restaurant to stay busy and open, it was a challenge we accepted and how grateful am I for the fact we remained open unscathed for so long.
.
I’ll spend these two weeks fussing around the house and cleaning my garage… long overdue. I have some tables at Maison that I’ve been meaning to sand and stain so I suppose I’ll get to do that. But man will these next 14 days be long without the all too familiar hum of the restaurant, of the laughter and the noise of the dinning room filled with each of you.
.
When we do reopen we will continue to follow the same strict protocol that we have been following for the last year, that same as day one, your safety and our teams safety is our only priority.
.
Sending love and gratitude.

Chef Danielle

Yesterday was our final day of service for 2020 and we are on our winter holiday until December 31st. I cannot thank each of you enough for helping us get through this year... your generosity and support made this by far my most amazing Christmas ever, the love you showered on my team and I leaves me speechless and humble.

CHAMPIGNONS A fun and fancy French word for mushr

CHAMPIGNONS

A fun and fancy French word for mushrooms and we love it. Wild mushrooms, crushed avocado, a perfectly toasted slice of our three day fermented wheat all topped with a runny over easy egg and Parmesan.

Are you hungry yet? Breakfast and lunch menus both served all day from 8am-5pm.

And YES!!! We are still open for dining and are just beyond words grateful for the love and support so many of you have showered on us in the last couple days.

We are here smiling behind the masks and can’t wait to see you!

We are open and we are going to stay open. Messag

We are open and we are going to stay open.

Message from Chef Danielle:

I’m just not certain I can buy into this new shut down of the industry that I love. I believe quite the opposite of what the news says… how can dining at a restaurant that from day one has taken the seriousness of the virus and the safety of each guest and team member be more dangerous than walking into a major chain and touching things that hundreds of other people touched?

Maison will stay open; we will continue to serve our guest and be humbled by the opportunity to support the community around us as you have all embraced and supported us. I ask each of you to continue to join us at Maison, whether for takeout, curbside pickup, online ordering or dining in. The team that works beside me is made up of the most amazing humans, and I am committed to each of them that our door will stay open.

To think that Christmas is merely weeks away is incredible… you guys we’ve made through a year that seemed like it would never end. I’m grateful for each day and the gift of continuing to move forward. Our Holiday catering menu can be found online, we look forward to being a part of your holiday and are so filled with gratitude for the moments we share with each of you.

At the end of the day, every moment I get to spend dancing in the dining room, singing off key in the kitchen or parading around my messy beautiful chaotic house is a gift. I’m grateful for every second, each lesson learned, each laughter shared and most importantly each of you. From the bottom of my heart thank you for continuing to believe in Maison and support my team and myself.

As much as I know the holidays bring joy and festivities, I also know this year is different. If you know anyone in need of a warm meal, a bag of groceries or anything at all, my door is open. The greatest gift for me would be to help someone in need and my staff and I are dedicated to supporting the community around us.

Smile often, love wholeheartedly, never lose faith and yes… drink good wine.

With love,

Chef Danielle

And today we turn 2!!!
.
This picture was taken at Maison’s grand opening night exactly two years ago today... before masks were a thing. We laughed, we ate, we drank good wine and we stared in awe as the space had been transformed and the community embraced our almost French, a little Italian and a whole lot of love and care idea of a restaurant.
.
The last two years have flown by, we are so thankful to each and every guest that has continued to support us and allowed us to keep our doors open throughout the last eight months of ups and downs and zig zags.... thank you endlessly.
.
The adventure is just beginning and we can’t wait to share what the future has in store with each of you!
