We found the cooking to be average, had scallop and salmon starter, wasn't really done that well, The back groung music was terriable, and the over all noise in the building was so loud we could not here each other speak. Staff seemed nice, but damage was done. More

We stopped in here for a late night glass of wine. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous. The food all looked so good that we ordered a creme brulee with our wine. It was absolutely delicious. Staff was very friendly, despite the fact we didn't order a full meal More

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely blue cod lunch at Ma Maison - the restaurant is well worth seeking out. We both agreed the meal was one of the best we've ever had. The view out the window of the dock reaching out to the water completed the experience. Highly recommend. More
