Maison Pickle is centered around a classic American staple: The French Dip sandwich. Part-cheap eat, part-culinary-innovation, The French Dip is a backbone of the urban dining scene since its early days in 1910s Los Angeles at the Cole’s Pacific Electric Buffet, or Phillipe’s (depending on who you’re talking to). Comfortable, inventive and inviting — the pleasures of American restauranting — are reimagined for a contemporary urban experience in Manhattan’s West 80s.
“Excellent brunch spot with generous portions! The Pull Apart Bread is definitely a crowd-pleaser and a must-order. However, my personal favorite was the Fried Chicken & Toast—it was incredibly flavorful. The dishes are quite large, so they are perfect for sharing; it might be a bit too much for one person. The service was also top-notch. Highly recommend for a group brunch!”
“Amazing Food and Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended We visited as a party of two without a reservation and were seated immediately. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly with eye contact and smiles. Even during busy moments, they continued to smile and acknowledge us whenever our eyes met, which made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We ordered the steak & eggs and the chicken toast, and the food arrived quickly while we were chatting. The sweet and savory combination of the chicken toast was absolutely delicious, and the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly. It was a truly satisfying and enjoyable meal. We paid in cash and weren’t able to leave a large tip, but the staff never made us feel uncomfortable or awkward about it. Every employee was incredibly kind and attentive, and we genuinely felt well taken care of. Even though we arrived without a reservation, the place filled up very quickly, which clearly showed how popular this restaurant is. An excellent restaurant in every way—food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I really cannot stress how good the pull apart bread was. Well worth the trip. We got the honey butter version, and it really knocked our socks off. Also got the deviled eggs, which we enjoyed. The actual main courses we got were fine. I’m not a big fan of French dip sandwiches in general, and this one didn’t change my mind. My partner got the burger - and she was a little underwhelmed by it as well.”
“Nice spot with good quality classic dishes. Went with a friend and had a wonderful time. Venue is quite large and food is really good but service was amazing (they do wine Wednesday I think it was half off wine). Overall had a couple dishes- salad, spinach dip, French roast, chicken parm, and chocolate cake. Portions were so so big- ended up taking much of it home but so good. Again solid staple and recommend”
“Agh I really wanted to like this place but I just didn’t… don’t get me wrong the vibe is so so cute but the food was subpar at best. As a negative start, we got the crispy calamari which tasted like it was 3 hrs old and the Caesar salad which was basic at best. I’m begging you, do not get the calamari, it was truly disappointing. Our saving grace however was the crab, spinach, and artichoke dip which was tasty but not special and the French onion soup… now that was actually delicious, making it the only appetizer I would get again (if I were to go back which I probably won’t). For our mains, we were all pleased…except for one of us. The eggplant and chicken parm was watery and flavorless but the braised short rib, filet mignon, and French onion steak melt were actually pretty tasty… so maybe this should be called Maison red meat? Have to give a special shout out to the mashed potatoes that came with the short ribs, those were so soft and creamy (especially with the beef au jus). I was forced to get dessert with the restaurant week menu so you’re welcome for this rare review. The key lime pie was fine, it tasted like every other key lime pie I’ve had and the Oreo icebox was nothing special, just a big ol’ Oreo in cake form. To drink, I’d recommend the mulled wine (but note, it was on the sweeter side… like me and this review!”
