DAY SEVEN OF SHELTER... CHEF DANIELLE NEEDS AN EYE

DAY SEVEN OF SHELTER...
CHEF DANIELLE NEEDS AN EYEBROW WAX.

We did it everyone, week one is done… I’m proud of us and we all deserve a glass (or bottle) of wine. All of us at Maison are still here and we are still smiling… and adjusting to the new temporary normal.

To say that I am fully humbled by the support this last week would be a great understatement. In my last email I asked you to help me support my team and the gratitude that I have is beyond words, my team showed up and worked beside me, we all fast-tracked our training in becoming a takeout restaurant, we fell short a few times, but we got back up and kept going. We are grateful and we are still trying to be better humans tomorrow than we were today.

I was talking to my boys about gratitude and generosity and how we as a community are all in this thing together. We are on new grounds and the only way to get through it stronger than we fell into it is by being grateful for what we have and to be generous, kind and truly become a servant to those that are in need. We will all get through this together.

One of the hardest things for me this week was seeing the chairs up on all the tables, I didn’t quite realize how much of me was in the dining room, getting to see each of you, hold your kids, dance around during service, and the hugs! Man do I miss hugging you all…. so after much thought, for this week only, I decided we needed to get the chairs off the tables and turn Maison into a marketplace where you can run in without the crowd, give me a big air high five and grab the necessities that you need at home like, milk, eggs, pasta, bread, fresh organic produce, granola, flour and yes… wine. We have whole organic chickens and grass fed/finished beef to sell as well. We will be open from 9 am-6 pm, so come say hi, grab your groceries and stay safe.

After this week, we will be closing our doors for the time being.

This decision was so hard to make, but I feel like the only way that we as a community can get through this is if we really buckle down and make the necessary changes to stop this thing.

Keep being amazing, keep smiling, ans stay posted for our doors to reopen soon!

Maison Cafe + Market has never looked more like a market!

We are here and open for take out orders and grabbing your necessities like.... eggs, milk, flour, oats, canned tomatoes, pastas, produce.... and the real important things like bread and wine.

Come grab a coffee, some breakfast to go and share an air hug and a smile with us.

Oh.... and maybe a Maison Mimosa in a paper cup.

Even in these crazy times we still stand by our motto... eat healthy, laugh often, love endlessly.... and drink good wine.

DAY ONE OF MANDATED SHELTER... CHEF DANIELLE FOU

DAY ONE OF MANDATED SHELTER... CHEF DANIELLE FOUND THE WINE STASH.
 We are here and we are still smiling and making the most of every minute. As of yesterday, we shut our dining room down, but we are offering our menu for takeout.

As long as you all continue to come in, we will stay open, but we are taking it day by day.
 I'm grateful for the love and support that the community has shown us through the year and four months we've been open, and Maison will thrive again when the storm has passed. My love and passion for all that we do here is as strong as ever, and part of what makes us so special is our sense of family, my Maison family is a collection of some of the most incredible servers, baristas and cooks you will ever meet. My goal is to make sure that they all get through this.
 Today and I ask that you support the team that continues to stand beside me. The following items will be made free of charge from 9am - 3pm (while supplies last), but we do ask that you take care of the team. All tips will be shared evenly between our employees so that during this time they can still afford day to day necessities.
 Avocado Toast Hash Farm Toast Banana Dutch Baby Mushroom Tartine
 Please don’t be shy on taking us up on this offer, I would love to see some familiar faces and would always rather raise money for a good cause, and supporting my team is on top of my list right now. I also know that perishable items won’t last forever and feeding each of your hearts and bellies is one of my greatest joys.
 The rest of our take out menu (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is still available for ordering and pick up via the website or by calling in at ‪949-218-8431‬. Don’t forget we are also open for dinner service offering family style dinners for either pick up or delivery from 5-8pm.

PS. We still have flowers and wine available PSS. Lots and lots of wine PSSS. Please continue to let us know if you know anyone in need, we have bags ready to donate with basic pantry needs that we would love to give to those needing that little extra support and love during this time.

Well guys it’s officially only take out orders moving forward, the dining rooms in all restaurants in Orange County have been closed.

We are still here for you to order take out breakfast, lunch and dinners.... but we are taking it day by day and will post any updates. If we pop in your mind, please give us a call and let us still be part of your day.

You can order online at www.maisondanapoint.com or give us a call at 949.218.8431. We are still offering complementary delivery on our family dinners to San Clemente, Dana Point and San Juan.

We will also be selling some basic needs for any of you that don’t want to deal with the craziness of the grocery stores right now.

Organic Whole Milk, Cage-free Organic Eggs and @breadartisanbakery incredible loaves (at least while they last) will be available in our market daily... don’t forget to grab some flowers and wine while you’re here.

Thank you again for being a part of our family. We are sending you all huge air hugs and love.

Times are changing and so are we... for now.

Temporary Business Hours
Tuesday - Saturday 8am-8pm
Sunday 8am-3pm

Our priority is the safety and well being of everyone in our community.

We know that dining in is not what is needed right now so we are making some temporary changes that will allow each of you to continue to enjoy Maison while also allowing our team to continue to support their families’s needs while we continue to create jobs for our employees.

As of today we are offering an online ordering platform for you to order breakfast, lunches and dinners.

We will also be offering local complimentary delivery for dinner between 5 - 8pm. Please visit our website for more details and to view our family style dinner menu, you can visit our website at www.maisondanapoint.com.

For the time being we will be keeping our dining room open with limited spacious seating from 8am-8pm Tuesday - Saturday and 8am-3pm on Sundays. We will continue to be vigilant in our cleaning and sanitizing as described in our last post.

The support and love that you have all shown us is breathtaking. We will continue to keep our doors open and serve our community. I am grateful to each of you. It is truly my pleasure to serve each of you and I look forward to resuming life back to normal once we can all be certain of the safety and health of ourselves and our loved ones.

Please remember if you or anyone that you know is struggling to get food on their tables for their families, I am here to help. My staff and I are dedicated to our community and supporting each other. My direct phone number is 949.310.8439 and I am available both night and day to help those in need, my door is always open.
Thank you again for being a part of our family.
We’ve got this.

Thank you for continuing to fill our seats, our hearts & supporting us.
.
I want each of you to know how much I understand your concern during this time, however I want to assure you that at Maison I take the health of my guests & my team very seriously.
.
Here is what we have done since opening our doors & continue to do so vigilantly every day. All employees wash their hands a minimum of once every half hour, more so if they have handled anything soiled or used. Every table in the dining room is always sterilized with sanitizer in between each table being seated. Bathrooms are sterilized every hour with sanitizer and disinfectant. Our kitchen is swept & surfaces are sanitized at least once an hour.
.
My team & I plan to continue to celebrate life, friendship & laughter the way that the Maison was created, with each of you. I understand that during this time we all need to take precautions to maintain our health and we would love to remind everyone that our full menu is available to order to go. Please call us ahead of time & we will have your meals hot upon your arrival. Any tips that are given on take out orders will be shared evenly between my incredible serving staff to assist them in any income deficiency during this time.
.
The restaurant is still open for dine in service as well.
.
Please remember that we are a small privately owned business. I take such joy in working beside my team and watching us all grow and thrive together. There are 30 employees at Maison, which translates to 30 families that depend on their income from this restaurant. I am committed to each of them that I will maintain their hours and am asking each of you to continue to support our vision, my dream, and help us continue to thrive.
.
Lastly, although I don't have any toilet paper to hand out, please know if you or anyone that you know is struggling to get food on their tables for their families, I am here to help. Maison is dedicated to our community & supporting each other. Please message us if you or anyone you know are in need.
.
I appreciate the love & support that our community has poured over us since opening our doors, we look forward to serving each of you.

Almost too pretty to eat...
