Local Halibut is back… get warm and cozy with us tonight and enjoy tonight’s dinner special.
Pan Seared Local Halibut served over spinach risotto with roasted asparagus and blistered tomatoes.
Dinner served nightly from 5pm… rain or shine!
Did you know since day one Maison has only used organic olive oil? It’s become all the rage these days (as it should be) but we’ve done it all along… because what you eat shouldn’t just look pretty on the plate but it should nourish your body and soul.
Maison believes in the integrity of the dishes we serve. We have always been and will continue to be seed and vegetable oil free and only cook using organic olive oil. Good food should be accessible and desirable.
Welcome home, welcome to Maison.

Tonight’s dinner special…. Perfect for these final throws of winter’s chill in the air.
Ours is made by braising tomatoes, fennel and citrus into a light seafood tomato broth.
Seared local halibut, jumbo shrimp, Manila clams and mussels.
Served with our favorite three day fermented wheat…. And whatever glass of wine that calls your name.
Dinner is served at your home away from home, Maison Cafe.

We are on our Summer Holiday!
A little way we say thank you to our incredible team for all their hard work… a full paid week off in the middle of summer so they get to spend time lounging in the summer sun, hiking and exploring in the outdoors or precious moments chasing after their littles making summer memories with their families before school starts back up!
We will reopen on Tuesday, August 8th bright and early.
Thank you so much for filling our hearts and our seats and we cannot wait to welcome each of you back next week.
Stay safe, stay healthy, laugh without reason and always drink good wine!
With gratitude,
Chef D
