French brasserie with extensive wine list and stylish basement bar
"Chef David Fhima’s North Loop restaurant is styled as a traditional French brasserie, aiming to capture the spirit of France’s vibrant Belle Epoque. On the menu are classic dishes like French onion soup, steak au poivre, and racks of lamb served with Dijon cognac beurre blanc, while the basement bar, cloaked in red velvet, serves burgers and lobster deviled eggs. As far as date-nights go, it’s more bustling than intimate; more sparkling than moody, ideal for a glam evening out. For wine lovers, there are few better places — Maison Margaux has more than 860 selections in-house." - Eater Staff

Of the restaurant’s 860 selections, 35 are served by the glass." - Justine Jones
