The Best Restaurants in Porter Square, Cambridge | Eater Boston

"Located within the Porter Square Hotel, this newcomer may have only opened in late 2024 — and is the first restaurant by Rebekah Barr, no less — but the New-England and Southern-inflected plates speak to a certain maturity. Check out the lamb lollypops with cherry confit and the pastry-wrapped beef Wellington, with comfort food like fried chicken to bring things down to earth. Choosing between the plates is much easier when you opt for a “themed collection” of three tasting-sized servings to explore the menu a bit more." - Nathan Tavares

The Best New Restaurants Around Boston Right Now

"There’s been a dining refresh at the Porter Square Hotel: Colette Wine Bistro closed to make way for an elegant new restaurant called Margeaux Supper Parlor. Run by Rebekah Barr, Margeaux is an ode to her New England upbringing combined with her time spent living and working in the South. The menu ties together these influences in dishes like a smoky andouille sausage gumbo, steak tips with a maple bourbon glaze, and creamy Maine lobster gnocchi." - Erika Adams

Went here for Xmas dinner and had a fabulous time. Our waitress Brooke was a gem. Super friendly and attentive. The place was very nice deco. The owner Rebekah was so nice and allowed me to bring in a special bottle for me to enjoy with my meal. The food was great. We had their special Xmas menu. I really wish they keep the Oysters 3 ways on their menu cause it was slamming!!! The scallop risotto was a bit salty but very good. The lamb lollipops were really great and so was the seared duck breast. Can’t wait to go back!

My friends and I have a monthly dinner club where we pick a new restaurant to try each month. Last month we came here, to Margeaux Supper Parlor, and had an experience we’ve been raving about since. We started with the charcuterie, which was perfectly curated. For our entrées We went with 2 of the tasting collections — the Coastal and the Field & Farm. They were the perfect size for sharing and being able to try multiple dishes, which is what we always love to do. Highly recommend the wine pairings too. We also added a Beef Wellington which is a must try. For dessert we did a chocolate torte, coconut bread pudding, and the pistachio & honey crème brule which is next level. If you go when it’s warm, sit out on the back patio. It’s a beautiful little oasis hidden in Porter Sq, especially on a summer night. The bar and decor inside is also gorgeous. Planning on coming back for brunch next time!

I had a great experience here. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and I really enjoyed their unique concept of offering smaller plates that let you mix and match a variety of dishes as an option. It’s perfect for anyone who likes to sample everything and they even have suggested wine pairings for the dishes. I’d definitely come back.

This review is for drinks only, because we did not have food on either visit. We came here twice in one week when we were in Cambridge at a Home swap. It was within walking distance of our house. First, the ambience is great. The place is gorgeous. We really enjoyed sitting at a bar, and the vibe was wonderful. The bar is open and bright, but also very elegant. And the barstools are comfortable. Drinks: There are lots of incredible mixologists in our hometown, and they make their own bitters and shrubs etc., so we really expect a cocktail bar to ‘wow’ us to really knock our socks off. And the first visit was excellent. They had a naked and notorious, which looked quite like a naked and famous, which I make it home, with a little bit of a twist. I tried theirs, and it was wonderful. Then I also tried to make a naked and famous, and it was pretty much like the ones I make at home. Nothing to write home about, but it’s a beautifully balanced drink. My husband’s drink was a bit of a mess, however. He tried a special Sazerac, but it had a banana flavor added. I think we’ll say ‘no’ to that one. The flavor profile was just a mistake. On our second visit, he ordered a regular sazerac, and that was pretty good. Service: the server on our first visit was excellent and really was attentive; we discussed the bar itself and some of the bartenders, but the server on our second visit was rather absent. So overall, I would give this four stars. We were also a little bummed out, because we wanted to take our son out on his 21st birthday for a really great “first” drink, but it was a Monday and they were closed. We assumed since they were a part of a hotel that they would’ve been open. No stars offer that, but it would be nice if they were open on a Monday.

Delicious food. Loved the idea of smaller plates to try a variety of foods. I had the coastal tasting menu (scallops, swordfish, and a spinach crab dish that was my favorite). They also do wine tastings. The service is slow but it’s well worth for the food! The vegetables and sides were so well done- the potatoes (so crispy and so soft) and green beans were by far exceeding my expectations

We were seated on time for our reservation of 8. There was a fire alarm today. The owners/management were very calm and friendly to all parties providing safety as a priority. The diverse staff were friendly and approachable even with unwelcomed fire alarm. I noticed staff members apologized to the guests and taken ownership of the issue and redirected the guests back to the restaurant. Our waitress was incredibly nice and patience with us as it is our first time, at least I thought she was. :) I got fried chicken pot pie and it was delicious. There's many drink options but I am spirit free, the bar was filled with guests. This place was an solid first time even during busy weekend+dinner. Definitely try the meatballs and bread, it was sweet and salty type of taste. I think by adding additional waitress/waiters, it will help strengthen the customer experience. also valet is $10. The valet was quick and efficient. The young man was polite and professional including the front desk gentlemen who assisted us with the payment, thank you both.

Great cocktails and ambience, perfect date or fancy dinner spot in Porter Square! Most of the dishes were very good though portions are pretty small. Loved the beef Wellington and the swordfish, the smoked pork chop I wasn’t a fan of and the mac and cheese it came with was super salty. The andouille sausage gumbo was good but for $14 it was a tiny portion. The desserts were okay, strawberry rhubarb pie being my favorite. Our server was great, he was kind and attentive. The kitchen got backed up a bit so there was a long stretch where we didn’t get our food. I would come back to try more of the menu and definitely recommend people check it out!

My company recently hosted a mixology class at Margeaux Supper Parlor with &cheers, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Rebekah and Ally were incredible hosts who truly made the event unforgettable. I am still receiving messages from attendees saying it was their favorite event we’ve ever hosted, which speaks volumes about the care and creativity that went into every detail. Their attention to detail was exceptional—from thoughtfully curating the drink selections to accommodating allergies and making last-minute menu adjustments with ease and flexibility. Nothing ever felt like an inconvenience, and every request was handled seamlessly and with genuine enthusiasm. Rebekah is a fantastic instructor who has an amazing ability to read the room and effortlessly adapt to the energy and vibe of the group. The class felt engaging, fun, and approachable for everyone, regardless of experience level. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were not only festive and creative but also genuinely fun to make and enjoy. A special touch that truly set the evening apart was the team surprising every guest with reindeer antlers to kick off the night—an unexpected, hilarious, and thoughtful gesture that immediately set a joyful tone for the event. We could not have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be working with the &cheers team again in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to host a memorable, well-executed, and truly special event.

tl;dr great dinner spot in Porter. Cute decor, great food selection, and good service. Would come back to try the other menu items!! Target ~3 sampler plates per person. Came here for dinner date on a Saturday night. Booked a reservation online, was very easy for peak dinner hours. It's attached to the hotel but walking in definitely had a different and unique feel. Waitress was nice, walked us through the menu. They had the sampler portion as well as full entree portion. Everything sounded good so we got the sampler style: cajun meatballs, lobster and crab bisque, beef wellington, chicken pot pie, shrimp and grits, and the field and farm set. This was WAY too much food for the two of us, looking back would have dropped two. Personally, the smoked pork chop was the best. It was extra smokey, flavorful and tender. The side of gnocchi was also pretty generous and so gooey and good. Lamb chops were also tasty. We got medium but would recommend the medium rare. Of the rest, the meatball, bisque, duck were worth getting. Personally would skip the wellington and pot pie.

Really interesting dinner spot, one that I see myself coming back to again. Margeaux is definitely a "concept" restaurant that focuses on smaller portions of different dishes, meaning you get to try a bunch. I loved the decor, a little on the fussy rich grandma side of taste. Perfect for a brunch or Mother's Day. The menu is what you make of it, essentially - they have pre-grouped trios of dishes under Coastal, Comfort, etc., or you can mix and match if you want different proteins. I went with the lamb lollipops and the duck breast and really enjoyed the presentation, where, in addition to the meats, you also get a helping of the sides. The roasted baby potatoes with the lamb were the standout. Also enjoyed my friend's scallops with some sort of bacon butternut mash and the fried chicken pot pie. I'd say the serving size is decent. 2 of the small plates for each person worked out well for my group, though maybe we could've gone with 2-3 each. Save some room for dessert, specifically, the pistachio creme brûlée. Our waitress was wonderful; when she realized we wanted a different dessert for a birthday celebration, she took the first, slightly less wanted one off the check. Street parking along this stretch of Mass Ave is a complete sh*tshow. Your best bet is to try the large lots behind Lesley or across the street.

We really enjoyed the dishes at Margeaux, the format really allowed us to try a bunch of different things. We ordered 7 dishes which were all pretty good and the lamb and steak tips were standouts for us. Cocktails were a bit of miss, but it was still a solid dinner. Service was attentive and the ambiance was nice. Will return to check out their brunch!

Absolutely fantastic. Server Brooke was extraordinary. She loves food and flawless service. The food was perfection. I had the profiteroles with peanut butter and fluff sauce for dessert. I eat a lot of ice cream and this was the best homemade ice cream I've ever had. Wellington and chicken pie was to die for. Enjoy!

I visited the restaurant with friends on a Wednesday evening. They do take reservations, but for a mid-week dinner it wasn't at all busy. The restaurant is very classy and good for a date night or special night out. We shared dishes so we could try more of the small plates, and absolutely everything we tried was delicious. The variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes also is enough to please most people. The focaccia was good and the olive oil it was served with had excellent flavor. The poached pear salad was also good. I enjoyed the pumpkin ravioli, but it was strongly flavored with a lot of warm spices, so that could be somewhat polarizing. The stuffed pepper was also amazing. The location right by the Porter square train station is extremely convenient, as well. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would gladly take people here again in the future.

Recently dined here as a party of 9 to celebrate a birthday and this restaurant wins hands down for the most UNIQUE MENU FORMAT. There are so many different options you can order from the menu - from one of their presented collection themes (e.g., seafood only, steak only, vegetarian only, mixed meat, etc) to a regular full sized entree of any of their collection choices to a personal mix and match across any of the different themes to make your own "collection". For starters, we ordered a dozen oysters, deviled eggs, and some focaccia bread for the littles to nibble on something -- all highly recommended. Then for entrees, we all ended up ordering something different and it was well worth it. I personally went with their Coastal collection and subbed the shrimp n grits for the duck. At first I was a bit leery about ordering swordfish as it can get a bit overcooked but surprisingly, both the halibut and swordfish were tasty, cooked perfectly and the sauces were so flavorful. The duck from the Field & Farm collection was absolutely perfect. If you can order it as they suggest (medium rare), you won't regret it! While these were supposed to be tasting dishes and grouped into 3 for a complete meal, the portions were so generous that you can away with ordering just 2 and that's also an option. Folks at our table who ordered the Fork & Knife and the Field & Farm collections raved about their dishes. My daughter and mom who ordered the Comfort collection were the only ones who wished they ordered something else but only because the collections we ordered slightly overshadowed theirs. So if you are torn, here's the verdict (at least from our visit) ha ha! All in all, it was a perfect choice for us and if you have a party that likes to taste a lot of different things, this place will be a perfect choice for you as well.

Back in Cambridge to drop Sean at Tufts and invited my friend Steve at Margeaux. This is an interesting French Louisiana restaurant concept that offers an innovative and original menu. You can basically select small portions of three original dishes. I select the Lamb shops lollipop, the sea scallops and the duck. All the meats were cooked medium rare. The swordfish, and the spinach crab dish were also great dishes. They also do wine pairing. But I ordered a bottle of Bordeaux. The service was on the slow side. The side dishes were slightly overcooked for my taste. The ambiance is sophisticated French chic so definitely a decor I enjoyed. This is definitely a cool place for a casual homy cooking delighful experience. This is simply a brilliant concept-- where you can enjoy and select a collection of small entrees.. This hidden gem is a wonderful addition to Porter Sq. In Cambridge!

I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars! The food is so fresh and delicious, and beautifully plated. No matter if you go for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, you can't go wrong - chef's kiss! The service here goes above and beyond and the ambiance, my gosh, one would think you are in Paris. By far one of my favorite restaurants in Boston.

This was our first time trying a themed three-plate menu, and the food was incredibly delicious! We like it that we can customize our meals. We ordered the Fork & Knife meal and swapped one of the smaller plates for fried chicken. We also went with the fish-themed plate menu but swapped the shrimp & grits for Beef Wellington. The service was fantastic. Our waiter, Luan, was so sweet and patient. I only wish we had dressed a little better! We will keep in mind of the dress code the next time we visit Margeaux again!

Margeaux feels somewhere between a swanky hotel restaurant and your rich aunt/Grandma's dining room in terms of decor, which can set you back in terms of trying to figure out what you just walked into in terms of arriving at the hostess stand. However, once you ease into the decor you quickly learn that the name actually hints to the organization and offerings of the menu. There are ways to try many of the different entrees, apps, and sides which resonates with the concept of a supper club or parlor. The downside of such a name is that many people of my generation or younger never really got to see or experience a supper club or parlor. The premise is everyone brings a dish to the location and you basically build a meal or entire evening out of what everyone brought, sometimes (and often) being very disjointed. Now, let's not hear what I'm not saying... Margeaux's doesn't feel disjointed, but it DOES have a vast array of offerings that you may not see outside of the "modern American" or whatever term they are using now for generic American cuisine. There's land, sea, vegetarian, and diet-conscious options available - sometimes without a unified theme which tends to be very unique in this day and age. As far as the food goes, we didn't have a single bad thing to say about the individual dishes. However, it is the flexibility and overall ability for you to build your own meal and the "tasting" options where you can pick any 3 entrees and make your own mini tasting meal that really separates Margeaux's from anywhere else we've been in the area. It's a really forward way to offer smaller portions and not committing to a single choice and making the meal your own, just like like you would at a supper club. Margeaux's is a new concept that is not only well executed in terms of the food and price point, but different in terms of the overall experience and type of meal than most people my age and younger have likely ever experienced. To be quite honest, being as close as we are to the location, it's an experience that I am here for when I can't really make up my mind as to what I want for dinner - because there is a little bit of everything to be had here.

This place features a fancy interior and a cozy vibe, however, the food is just mediocre. The flavors were bland and portions were small. I got the lobster/crab bisque and the cup was only half full for $17 which was very disappointing. Value: 5/10 Food: 6/10 Service: 7.5/19 Experience: 5.5/10

Friends and I decided to try the Chinese New Year Special Prix Fixe at Margeaux, with Chef Doris Huang. With advanced reservation, my party of 5 received seating immediately. The menu, at $98 / person, included the following Starters: - Scallion Pancakes - Shumai and/or Peking Ravioli (aka potstickers, can mix and match) Entree (Duck 3 ways): - Peking Duck - Fried noodles w/duck - Duck bone soup Dessert: Sweetheart cake First, the starters. The shumai had way too much powder in the filling, making it feel dry and pasty. It tasted like something you'd find at a mediocre dim sum place in Quincy - the kind where only pensioners go because it's cheap. The scallion pancake was a jaw workout. It was way too thick and tough - not flaky, just chewy and hard. It was crispy, but not the desirable pan-fried crispy, but a deep-fried crispy that only exacerbated the toughness. The service also was a mess. A server spilled a cocktail (an accident, understandable). In his attempt to correct his mistake, he spilled more, decided to get the cocktail remade, but left without cleaning the spill. I had to flag down another server to clean the table. Exacerbating the service was the arrival of the first duck entree. Or, rather, the lack of it for 45 minutes. Only after flagging down a server did the entree promptly appear. The peking duck did not have crispy skin - its defining charactertistic. It was indistinguishable from your average roast duck at the Chinese BBQ store, like Hong Kong Eatery in Chinatown. The scallion arrived artistically arranged as flowers. However, they were also as thick as 1/8" steel dowels at Home Depot. They need to be julienned you don't just taste an entire damned sprig of scallion. The other two entrees took another 75 minutes to arrive. Again, only after flagging down a server did they promptly appear. The soup was lukewarm. It was clearly sitting around, ready to serve. The noodles tasted like fried noodles with duck - nothing more special than the sort I could find at the neighborhood Thai restaurant. The portion sizes, which resembled small entrees, only added insult to injury. The sweetheart cake dessert was comparable to what I could have purchased at one of the myriad of bakeries in Chinatown for a few dollars. Overall, this has been quite far the most egregious waste of money I have encountered in recent memory. What did I expect from a French place attempting to host a Chinese dinner?

Margeaux Supper Parlor is a restaurant inside the Porter Square Hotel. They offer New Orleans inspired dishes in a unique "tasting flight" system and excellent cocktails. We ordered a number of small plates (nearly finishing 3 per person). Our favorites included the Chicken Pot Pie, Beef Wellington and the Deviled Eggs.

We used to take family and friends from out of town to Collette. I'm not sure when it switched over to Margeaux, but since the menu looked phenomenal to us, I wasn't too concerned. My husband and I took his aunt for a nice dinner, and it was the night before my birthday so I mentioned it was my birthday dinner celebration in the reservation. (Important for later). The menu allows you to create your own three course meal, which I think it is a neat concept! Rather than three full size dishes, you can have three smaller sized plates of whatever you choose. It's a great way to try everything. All three of my dishes were perfect... I wouldn't change a thing. The duck was cooked medium well as I requested, and my husband's beef Wellington and his lobster gnocchi were both tasty. (Of course I tried both of those myself, haha)! For dessert, we each selected a different dish and I tried the apple crisp. My plate had happy birthday written on it, and the dessert was comped. (Such a lovely gesture that many places don't offer). Great experience. We will be back for sure.

The food was great. I loved their tasting concept. I got the fork & knife and my husband got the comfort food. What a great way to get a small tasting of a few dishes. Everything was delicious. Our server Holly was amazing, loved that she gave us recommendations and was very attentive. The restaurant was very clean and the decor felt posh. Loved the velvet booths and also loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating.

This was our 1st time going, and this place iss excellent. The food was amazing - the deviled eggs was incredible. (Yes -deviled eggs!!). Our service was on point - very attentive but did not rush us. There was a fire alarm as we just sat down, and we did not feel rushed after we sat down. The place and decor is very beautiful. Overall, with the pairings and selection of food - it was a great night out. Will definitely be back!

Margeaux is the new version of the Colette Wine Bistro, located in the Porter Square Hotel--it looks exactly the same but has shifted its concept somewhat. I was staying overnight with a friend, so we tried it for dinner on what was I believe the second night of their soft opening in mid-September. So some service quirks to work out, to be sure: mostly I think just a staff getting used to a new menu, which is understandable. They may have been a bit understaffed; it takes a while to get a drink (there was just one person working the bar), and you should definitely get your wine with your food, if not before--but I want to emphasize that everyone was very nice and trying their best. I'm sure it'll run smoothly with practice. Now, on to the food! There are various sizes of plates available, which is pretty common these days, grouped into categories or themes--field & farm, coastal, fork & knife, and comfort--along with other appetizers, salads, and desserts. Margeaux gives you the option of ordering smaller or larger potions, so you can sort of put together your own tasting menu. We started off with deviled eggs that came with fried oysters and bacon (delicious) and tuna tartare (good but not memorable). Where I think the kitchen staff really shines is with meat: we had lamb chops for one dish and steak bits for another, and both were perfectly seared on the outside and oh-so-juicy inside. This remains a lovely space both inside and out: while there are tables out front on noisy Mass Ave, I recommend the back patio instead, which is a tranquil retreat. I hope Margeaux does well and I'll definitely check it out again!

I've been to Margeaux twice now and love their menu concept! It's fun being able to choose a "collection" of dishes or to mix and match (which is what I've done both times). That's an interesting concept that I think more restaurants could benefit from. The dining room stretches fairly far back, although the venue doesn't look that large from the street. They usually have some sort of music playing, and the genre might even switch up several times during the night. I'm allergic to Seafood, so I can't touch the Coastal menu, but I have had: -Lamb lollipops: My favorite! Not only are they beautifully presented, but they're also well-seasoned and flavorful. -Seared duck breast: I've enjoyed this dish as well. The temperature was slightly off on my last visit, but it is nicely prepared duck. -Pumpkin ravioli: Lovely! Order it. LOL I also appreciate that they have very reasonable, and thoughtfully composed, wine pairings. Definitely suggest getting one of those, or asking for a non-alcoholic beverage to complement your meal if you prefer. I'm sure I'll be back again!

We went to Margeaux Supper Parlor for Valentine's Day dinner with a few friends to take advantage of their $85, 3-course prix fixe menu. The restaurant was packed and bustling, which made for a great Friday night ambiance (though we did have to request they turn the music down because the speaker was blaring above our table). The prix fixe itself was quite unique because instead of choosing 1 entree, diners had the option to select a "flight" of 3 entrees. We were slightly worried about the portion sizes, but that proved to be unfounded because each entree dish of the flight could have nearly been an entire entree on its own. While I loved getting to try different dishes, I will admit that having so many different dishes at once somewhat muddled the experience of each dish for me. For example, ordering Beef Wellington would normally be a fun/special dish, but it got lost with all the other dishes in the flight. That being said, if you're looking for variety and bang for your buck, Margeaux is a great spot to try! Food: 1. Cornbread (4/5) 2. App - Scallops (3.5/5) 3. App - Mushroom Crepe (4.5/5) 4. Entree - Beef Wellington (3.5/5) 5. Entree - Quail (4/5) 6. Entree - Risotto (4/5) 7. Entree - Lamb Lollipops (5/5) 8. Entree - Ratatouille (4.5/5) 9. Dessert - Flourless Chocolate Cake (4.5/5) 10. Dessert - Pecan Tart (5/5)

We dined at Margeaux last night, our third visit. The past visits were exceptional: food (especially), ambiance and service. This time, however, the service fell short. For instance, when you pay these kinds of prices, you expect that the wine you ordered to accompany your entree will be served at the same time as the entree. That was not the case last night as I sat and sat and sat waiting while my meal cooled. After finally catching the waitress' eye, she acted as though I hadn't order wine and seemed a little put out about it. It appeared that our waitress was doing double duty as bartender and waiting on tables, hence the fouled-up order and slow response time. Perhaps someone phoned in sick last night. At any rate, they were clearly short-staffed. Reluctantly, I still tipped 20%. Secondarily, the place was far noisier than we recalled from our previous visits. Not sure what the difference was but a little noise baffling would go far in improving the ambiance.

After I made the resie, I looked at the menu online, I was immediately impressed by the design of the menu. I love the attention to the graphics and the font! The restaurant put a lot of thought into designing the menu. As an artist I can appreciate n know that the restaurant cares for every detail. It was very well designed. Kudos to the restaurant. I was so looking forward to beef Wellington my favorite, to my surprise it was sold out! oh well, next time! Our server Luan was very informative & friendly. The menu was nicely curated there's a trio tasting menu or, Make your own tasting trio, I choose to make my own (since they didn't have beef Wellington) w French onion soup, lobster gnocchi n shrimp n grits, my daughter chose farm & field tasting. The pork was amazing ! Smoked bbq flavor w Mac & cheese. The restaurant background wallpaper is also very photogenic. Very much a fancy Parlor feel. Love the wall paper. I used come stay at Porter square hotel when visiting my daughter while she was studying in a university near by. I was upset to find out my loved restaurant Colette had closed. Im pleasantly surprised Margeaux exceeded my expectations. I'm looking forward to coming back next time n I hope they have the beef Wellington!

Strange name for a great place! We've eaten at many tapas places before but this is by far the best in terms of quantity and quality of food. 3 of us got 3 groups of 3 to share which was plenty of food. Everything from the meats to the veggies were delicious. The type of food I only wish I could prepare at home! Gluten free easily accommodated with only a few choices off limits. Waitress was very helpful and attentive to just the right degree.

Great food, attentive service, delightful ambiance! Interesting menu allows for you to choose from different food genres consisting of three small plates. Your choice also includes three suggested wine pairings. Nice work chef!

This place flies under the radar. Enjoyed the option to order half portions of almost every dish. Fried chicken, lamb chops, sole, scallops, lobster bisque, risotto etc. Pork chop and steak tips somewhat dry. Also good brunch. Good service.

Came for a date night with a Friday night reservation. They had overbooked, and told us we would have to wait for our table- ended up waiting around 20-30 minutes before getting seated. The waiter took a while to get to us, but was very friendly. We got the fork & knife collection and I chose to make my own. Notable bites: the steak tips came with a lot of meat and the fries were super crispy the duck was tender and paired nicely with the sweet potato there was a decent bit of lobster and the gnocchi had a nice bite to it I will say that I found the cream sauces to be on the saltier side but that is just my preference! We were recommended the strawberry rhubarb pie and I am so glad I got it! The crust was flaky and the fruit filling wasn't too sweet. And the whipped cream added just enough richness. Maybe my favorite slice of pie ever...? Overall, some of the bites didn't wow me but I had a great experience. The decor is lovely, and I think the varied seating of chairs, couches, benches, etc is very whimsical and fun. This place also recently opened and I think they're still figuring out their flow. But it was packed, and I'm glad to see a new restaurant doing well! I will likely be back

We have come to Margeaux twice for special occasions now. They have an excellent wine pairing and selection plus delicious cocktails! We love being able to mix and match their small plates into a set of 3 that we choose. The food is superb and the service is good too!

This is my second visit there since it opened! This place is a gem! The first time I came with two girlfriends who are foodies too and we stayed for three hours and dined on three of the different themed menus which is such a great idea. We got to try a little of everything. This time, I brought an older friend of mind who is bit picky and I figured this would give her lots of options. She had the gumbo and focaccia which she thought was delicious. I had the duck and steak - tasting portion. So yum! The decor is stunning! Perfect for a date night or girls' night! Our server this time was Courtney who was just the sweetest. My friend commented that she "she just has the perfect personality for this job." Will be back! (Pics and video are from both meal)

This place was very deceiving but the ambiance ,service and food was excellent! The concept was unique! Becca our server was great she explained everything about the food and recommended certain dishes! The dishes were almost like French tapas but enough to feed three or four people! Everything came out very fresh! We had a variety of of dishes from fish,beef and duck ! Highly recommend the pasta and beef Wellington oh lobster bisque! Overall a great take prices $$$-$$$$ Would go again!

Great ambiance, mixed drinks and food! I had the beef Wellington and a Caesar and both were great. The portions were smaller but for me it was perfect. Between that and the perfectly made house old fashion, I left very satisfied and wishing I lived closer so I could go again. There were several items on the menu that looked appealing so I will have to keep my eye out for another show at the Sommerville Theater.

The food was a lot of fun. The tasting menu for fish with matching wines was very good. Shrimp & grits and the swordfish was excellent. I wish I had taken photos. Also cocktails were nice if a tad pricey.

Honestly bad time. Food was bad and overpriced for the terrible quality, but the worst thing was the service. The staff seemed so annoyed to be helping us and just generally super standoffish. Made me feel really bad.

Classy ambiance, thoughtful wine pairings, delicious and well-balanced entrees, and attentive service. MSP is one of the most stunning restaurants in the Boston area! It was the perfect spot for a date night, and our server Sam was terrific. He gave wonderful advice about the menu, and made us feel like insiders. Kind, friendly, and knowledgable! The star of the show was the Pumpkin Ravioli paired with the '22 Tamellini Soave. It was hands down one of the best food and wine pairings I've ever encountered. It was a creamy, nutty, brown butter flavor bomb (yet still mild, which is very hard to pull off!). We also thoroughly enjoyed the Smoked Pork Chop paired with the '22 Finca Tobella Priorat, and the Lamp Lollipops paired with the '20 F&F Syrah (yum!). For dessert we enjoyed the house-made pistachio ice cream and the Bali Dragon cocktail, which complemented each other beautifully. We will absolutely be returning! MSP is worth the journey, and is incredibly well-priced for the experience.

We got the steak tips with fries . The whole vibe is warm and welcoming . The staff is friendly and warm . Parking is a bit difficult but we made it work . I would say the food is yummy and portion size in our meal was generous. The price is moderate but good for overall experience.

Margeaux could be great but I was disappointed. First off they were having some kind of office party there...not in a separate room or area but in almost the entire resto. It was insanely loud...so much so that my friend and I had to literally scream at each other to converse. Note- if you don't have a separate area for a very LOUD party- don't offer that..it was a huge bother for the other customers. It made things uncomfortable. I personally don't like the "small plates" type of menu. My friend chose the resto. To me its just a way to charge more money for less food. I got the Lobster Crab Bisque - it was just OK. Nothing special about it, except the price! $15 for a cup portion. We shared a couple things- the Deviled Eggs - they were very good if not a odd combo. The eggs were the normal old school well done yolks (that was fine they were good), the fried oysters on top that were lovely and the bacon jam was a wonderful sweet/savory touch. Definitely very good. We also shared the Fried Lobster & Shrimp Po Boy Bites. Both of us picked off the Po Boy bites and left the bread and remoulade behind. This was not a good combo the fried lobster/shrimp was very good but the bread had a shockingly different feel and taste. The remoulade made the bread soggy and cold. Def not a winner. My friend got the Caesar Salad which did look very good but dry, and of course was just a very small portion. I got the Steak Tips....ugh...what a way to ruin what could have been great!! The Steak Tips themselves were very good but a little under done for the ;medium' I had asked for. What bothered me is the corn and frites. Who decided to use corn for this dish...come on! The classic combo of steak frites and maybe some dressed watercress would have been a thousand times better. Corn is just boring ... I know its become popular with restos in the past few years but it was not appropriate here! also everything was piled on to a very small plate. The fries and the corn were under the TWO little pieces of steak. The corn made the fries ultra soggy...unless they were soggy anyway, they may very well have been soggy without the corn, kind of seems like it...so that was a big disappointment. It should have been served on a larger plate and used something other than corn. My friend got the Shrimp and Grits. I tried the grits and they were delicious. I went overboard because its getting to be my birthday and I ordered the Black Bear Torte. It was wonderful! the cake was moist, the frosting was mousse-like which was really nice and it had the blackberry coulis to cut the wonderfully rich chocolate. That was very nice. For the price I was let down. I did love the décor, we got a little table as far as away from the noise as possible which was only about 20 feet away, but it was a couch in a corner, I liked that. Service was very good and attentive. BUT... the apps were brought to our table WITH the entrees.....just NO - don't do that!!! The waiter apologized...but what good is that really? After all of that I would try this place again...but I really think they need to make some changes to the menu and their choices of what they are putting together on your plate!! Make sure to check there is NO party scheduled during your rezzie!

This place is a gem! The ambiance, the food, and the service are a whole vibe. Our server Luan was so kind, letting us sit on the beautiful teal couch, helping us take a photo, and explaining the whole menu to us. We had a wonderful time and will be back!

I hosted my baby shower here and Matt and Rebekah went above and beyond helping out with logistics and many details of the event. It was really delightful working with them. The ambience and food were already great, but what made it above-and-beyond was the support and communication before the event. Matt and Rebekah had great suggestions on everything from the menu, to the layout (which was very flexible), and timing. They were patient but also efficient and both took the time to understand our vision and had suggestions of how to improve it and make it better. Matt was also amazing on the day of the event, and even helped set up some of our decorations while setting up. I highly recommend not just stopping by Margeaux for brunches/dinners but also for hosting special events! The space is set up well for both more formal and more relaxed/mingling events, so you can't go wrong!

We had a delightful dining experience at Margeaux Supper Parlor. The menu's unique "tasting trio" concept allowed us to mix and match dishes, offering a fun and customizable meal. AND everything we had was delicious! Special shoutouts to the deviled eggs, risotto, the chocolate pie, and our server Courtney - who was absolutely lovely for our evening. It's an absolutely beautiful restaurant too!

The food was very well prepared and served. Our server, Sam, was really a pro and made us feel very welcome. He really made the experience. Very attentive even though he was also handling a baby shower in the other room. Will be back for the crawfish boil.

The service was fantastic! Please ask for Courtney when you come to Margeaux. She brings a warmth to the experience and is very knowledgeable about the menu. This is a unique place in the sense that it provides an individual tapas style eating experience where you get to sample many different items!
