Special Events Only

by nosrednak

I have only been a guest at this restaurant for special events and it is my understanding that they are not open on a regular basis to the general public. At the times I have been here, the service was attentive and the food delicious, but I had no choice in the food. If you get invited to an event here, you will be pleased and you should consider this place for a wedding or special event.

• Pros: Great service, good food
• Cons: Only open for special events

My favorite special occasion restaurant

by maryabr

I love great service. Maison Jardin has ADULT waiters who are well-trained, professional, and care about their level of service. You won't find your neighbor's teenager working tables for gas money, but real, live adults who are actually trained. Be prepared to spend more than your average restaurant, but well, well worth it if you appreciate old fashioned service and an ambiance to die for. The food is exquisite. Diners are not rushed but served in leisure with appropriate pauses between courses. Definitely call for reservations.

• Pros: Incredible service, well spaced tables, great food
• Cons: can't think of one

One on one

Great for 2 or 4. Not good for groups. No room. Great food / service / atmosphere.

Old-guard Orlando's premier dining destination since 1958.

The Scene
A neo-classical exterior encloses a collection of interior spaces filled with chandeliers, museum-quality art and Austrian crystal statues. Servers are extremely professional, answering even the most basic questions without a trace of condescension.

The Food
Allow the staff to suggest wine pairings at the start of your meal. Begin with blinis la busse, a choice of Icelandic, Russian or Beluga caviar flamed tableside and served with chopped egg, onion and sour cream. Continental standards such as beef Wellington anchor a menu filled with veals, lambs and hearty steaks. The near-perfect Florida red snapper is wrapped in puffy pastry and topped with chunks of crab in a creamy mousseline sauce. The crepe Suzette, a thin golden pastry, offers a divine ending.

• Cons: Reservations required

My wife and I love Maison. We even got married there. From the grounds, to the wedding planner, to the wait staff...outstanding. This is the place to get married or have any kind of function.

What are you thinking

by thquack

This place is all looks!!! The food compares to that you would get a bal, dried out chicken, and meats with no flavor! I can't believe this place made the top ten!

It's hard to find anything is dislike about this restaurant. The food is top-notch and the service is impeccable. A little pricey, but the best places always are. If you like French food, this is the place. Elegant and romantic, a great place for a special evening.

We've been to Maison & Jardin numerous times and it's always a treat, always special. Never disappointing. It remains THE place to go for birthdays, anniversarys, holidays, and any time we want to treat ourselves to the best.

Great place to have a small company party. Great food, service and the wine list was considerably good. The filet was like butter!
