Maison ES

A hidden gem in the city🥂
The meal flows smoothly from freshness to comfort. The seafood platter remains the standout opening—everything look fresh and neatly prepared, with shelling and gutting done cleanly so it’s easy to eat. The oysters confirm the quality, arriving at their best.

The buton ebi appetizer is appetising and taste-bud refreshing, offering a light, lively start that clears the palate rather than weighing it down.

The main course is where the kitchen proves its patience. All meat (lamb loin and rib eye cap) is slow-cooked resulting in tender texture and well-developed flavor instead of dryness or rushed cooking. Even the black cod is treated with care—slow-cooked with seaweed, giving it a gentle umami depth and a clean, soothing finish.

The dessert high light with compressed cantaloup and yogurt keeps the ending light, staying **refreshing** and neatly balanced.

Overall: thoughtful pacing, careful slow cooking, and palate-friendly finishing.

I had high hopes for my return visit after 10 years, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing.

The food quality has dropped dramatically since my first visit. The onion tart was a complete letdown — I was expecting something similar to a savory quiche or onion tart, but what arrived was literally a whole grilled onion sitting on top of a plain tart pastry. It felt lazy and misleading, like serving a whole boiled egg on pastry and calling it an egg tart.

The “garlic fries” ($78) were equally mediocre — just regular fries with a side of mayo for dipping and a few scattered bits of garlic. Calling this “garlic fries” is a real stretch.

Everything was also noticeably overpriced for the quality we received. It seems that once the restaurant became famous, they stopped putting in the care and effort they once had.
Sadly, I won’t be returning. A real shame because it used to be much better.

Visited during restaurant dining week- value wise it’s not bad. Service and ambience was excellent. I would say some dishes were not too memorable. The fish was good, but average. The quail roulade was truely amazing. Dessert was a nice chocolate mousse but I felt the fruit bowl was a little simple, perhaps an ice cream would be nicer? Beef tartare was not bad too.

The most surprising dish would be the cuttlefish noodles with shrimp paste and lobster. The texture was amazing and the flavours blend in beautifully. Highly recommend!

I recently went to this French fine dining restaurant with my friend. The interior decor has a very luxurious and elegant feel to it. It's actually the filming location for a popular TV drama series featuring a news anchor. Not only is the food excellent, but the service is also very attentive and thoughtful. It's definitely a great place to celebrate with a significant other or friends. I highly recommend it!
