Maison Close Restaurant - Soho

“As a native New Yorker, you’d be surprised how hard it is to find a restaurant that has great service, delicious food, and a beautiful ambiance all in one. Maison Close has checked off all those boxes and more. If you’re looking for a casual brunch with friends, keep walking, because this place will run you a high price. However, the quality and quantity of food is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend the lobster croissant as your main entree, you won’t be disappointed. The French toast was actually my favorite item on the menu, and I may or may not have taken one home haha. The service went above and beyond, Lucio was an absolute gem. Once it turns into a dance party around 230p, get ready to dance on chairs and question if you walked into a club by accident. Overall, this place was a big hit with our party of 8 girls and I would 100% come back for my next celebration.”

“From the moment I walked in, I was genuinely impressed by the beauty of the place. The decor is stunning — thoughtfully curated, elegant, and undeniably premium, yet still warm and cocooning at the same time. It strikes that perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The service was excellent from start to finish. I was welcomed and taken care of with kindness and attention by Camille, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank you so much!! I started with the “Madame Claude” cocktail, which I really loved — not too sweet, perfectly balanced, and very enjoyable. For appetizers, I had the frog legs and the tuna tartare. The frog legs were excellent — lightly seared with a buttery sauce that was absolutely delicious. It had been a while since I last had some, and these did not disappoint. The tuna tartare was also very well done, not too salty, with a slightly bitter note that made it stand out in a very refined way. For my main, I had the boeuf bourguignon, and it was outstanding. The sauce, rich with red wine, tasted just like home — the kind of dish that feels like it was made by a grandmother. The mashed potatoes were just as impressive: rich, buttery, perfectly balanced, and truly authentic without being too heavy. For dessert, I had the chocolate fondant, and it was simply incredible. The portion was generous, the center perfectly molten, served with a cream that complemented it beautifully. I had such a great time. It almost made me nostalgic — it truly felt like being back in France. I highly recommend this place without hesitation. I would absolutely come back, especially with family visiting from France.

“Great experience here! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the waiter was extremely accommodating and attentive throughout the night. The food was well seasoned and clearly prepared with care and effort every dish was flavorful and enjoyable. The live performances starting at 10:45 PM really added to the vibe and made the night even more memorable. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to others!”

“Luxury, energy, and hospitality done right! Maison Close NYC! 15 Watts St, New York, NY 10013 My wife and I recently visited Maison Close to celebrate her birthday, and the evening turned into something truly special. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere immediately stood out. The space carries a real sense of luxury and excitement, yet at the same time feels comfortable, welcoming, and safe — which for us makes all the difference when choosing a place to spend an evening. Our server Momo was outstanding. Professional, warm, and knowledgeable, he delivered the level of service you would expect from a five-star establishment. Every detail felt thoughtful and attentive without ever feeling forced. We enjoyed drinks and caviar while taking in the live singer and later stayed for the show and the lively atmosphere that followed. The energy in the room was vibrant, elegant, and genuinely fun. A moment that stood out to us was when my wife had the chance to briefly chat with the GM, Carolain. In just a couple of minutes she came across as very knowledable, humble, gracious, and genuinely warm — the kind of person who makes guests feel immediately welcomed. We also met a very cool and outgoing young gentleman who helps oversee the larger celebrations in the room. His energy and enthusiasm added to the festive atmosphere and made the evening feel even more special. A special thank you as well to the manager John, whom I’ve had the pleasure of knowing from other establishments over the years. John has always treated us with respect & genuine hospitality and makes you feel sincerely welcomed. It’s always nice to see someone who takes pride in what they do and truly cares about the experience guests have when they walk through the door. After many nights out enjoying great restaurants, it’s always refreshing to come across a place that truly understands atmosphere & guest experience. Places like this remind you that hospitality, when done right, can turn a simple night out into a true unforgettable experience. All in all, Maison Close delivered a classy, lively, and memorable night for us. We absolutely look forward to returning & highly recommend!”

“This was my first time at Maison Close and I can not wait to make this my regular brunch spot. Momo was our server and brought an amazing ambiance and attention to detail. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was outstanding.”
