This dreary weather is begging for a latte and some of our house made pastries.
.
Come get cozy at your home away from home and enjoy our breakfast and lunch menu... both available all day.

Garden to table perfection.... all of these tomato

Garden to table perfection.... all of these tomatoes came from the garden of one of our amazing guests.
.
There is nothing that tastes quite like summer than sun ripened tomatoes.
.
One of our specials this evening is our roasted tomato tartlet. Filled with Crème Fraîche and Brie cheese with herbs from our very own patio garden.
.
Dinner service begins at 5pm.

Happy Father’s Day!
.
I can't help but want to send a huge thank you to my dad, who many of you have met. He comes in every morning for his latte and has my baristas trained to put "just a little chocolate" in it if I'm not looking. He "get's the party" started everyday in their tip jar with a chuckle.
.
He shows up at 6 in the morning on a Saturday because I realized the night before that we needed outdoor heaters and have no idea how to build them...
.
He's been the most incredible role model for my two sons of what a man should be, how to live with character, faith and integrity and he's also teaching Noah how to juggle, a man of many skills. I love you and am thankful every day for you dad.
.
So to you dad and all you other incredible men celebrating this Sunday, we are thankful for each of you. For the bad dad jokes, for the bbq skills, for teaching us how to throw a baseball or use a power drill. For helping us when we get a flat tire or run out of gas to walking your daughters down the aisle. For cheering us on and pushing us forward, we love you and hope you know how much you mean to us. For any of you that come by to join us today we have a cold beer or a hot coffee ready and waiting for you on us.
.
Stay safe, stay healthy, love without reason, laugh wholeheartedly... smile behind the masks and drink good wine.

Did we mention our White Bean Hummus? Organic and made in house with fresh turmeric, roasted roots and white beans. Served with our house made pita and roasted veggies.
.
The only thing missing is a glass of wine and you. Dinner served nightly until 9pm.
.
Welcome home, welcome to Maison, we’ve missed you all so much and are so thrilled to be offering dine in service once again.

Our last day of serving the community as a market

Our last day of serving the community as a market was a mere 10 days ago and I already feel like so much has changed.
.
Last Monday I recruited the help of my dad and my children and we spent the day tearing apart the little market that had begun to feel like our new home throughout the pandemic. We counted the number of tables, brought out the measuring tape and started removing tables one by one, until less than half of the number of seats in the dining room remained. We made certain that the required distance between tables was held and I looked at a dining room that suddenly felt empty and sighed.
.
To say that I am excited to share this next chapter with each of you is an understatement for my emotions, it went from a heavy in your gut feeling to a surge of excitement as we filled the space that once held your seats with a whole new kind of beauty.
.
You all triumphed beside me as we stood strong in the midst of the unknown and continued to thrive and support each other in new ways... hello zoom wine tasting and restaurant turned into farmer's market... and now I'm ready to bring Maison back to life.
.
Tomorrow morning we once again open our doors... and our hearts as we welcome each of you back into Maison for full service dine in. Just typing that makes my heart happy.
.

We've grown up a bit and things may look a little different, we will smile under masks and still be only giving air hugs, but the doors and seats are open and it won't feel like home without you.
.
We are so excited for this next chapter, but are much more excited to see your smile, to laugh with you and open our doors (and our tables) once more. .
Stay safe, stay healthy, love without reason, laugh wholeheartedly... smile behind the masks and drink good wine.
.
Chef Danielle

We will still have all of our Market options available both online and in the restaurant, thank you all so much for your support and love.
.
Stay safe, stay healthy and drink good wine.

MOTHER'S DAY WITH MAISON . Of all the jobs titles

MOTHER'S DAY WITH MAISON
.
Of all the jobs titles and positions I’ve held… being called mom is by far my favorite. The sleepless nights, the hours of worry and tears can all disappear with four little words… ‘I love you mom’.
.
My boys have taught me how to love myself by letting me love them; they have made me into the woman and chef I am today and without a doubt anything good about me is because at the end of the day I get to be their mom.
.
Although this Mother’s Day may be different than last years, we at Maison want to wish all of you moms a Happy Mother’s Day. May the dishes be done without asking and may your mimosa stay full.
.
Stay safe, laugh often and drink good wine,
Chef Danielle
