September 8, 2025dougmcmurryOverjoyed by bistro ambiance and delicious dinner with outstanding service
All four in our party were overjoyed by the bistro ambiance and delicious dinner experience we had while visiting Willamette Valley. We began with a dozen oysters and a bottle of Jalliance Rose "Cremant de Bordeaux." We continued with tasty entrees that included steak frites, special pork chop, and "Confit de Canard." And the service was outstanding. We look for to trying other dishes when we return to the valley.

Divine eating experience
Cute restaurant with excellent service Everything was fantastic for food and drink. Highly recommend getting the melon salad. The salmon and pork chops were fantastic. Wine was good price and felt that you get an awesome experience with how dining should be.

Authentic and lovely !
I honestly can't say enough good things about this restaurant ! First of all, the service is incomparable ! It seems all of the servers and hosts where all the hats and their team work creates efficient and thoughtful service ! The food, well the food is sensational and you'd better be hungry ! The dishes are huge and so authentic . We were there for a special occasion as were many others but if you want real French food , don't wait for an occasion-treat yourself !!

We stumbled into Bistro Maison as a walk-in party of ten, and were instantly welcomed like honored guests. From the moment we were seated on the charming patio beneath a canopy of twinkling lights, the evening felt magical—summer dining at its finest. The service was outstanding: warm, personalized, and impressively knowledgeable. Our server even brought us individual fans to beat the heat—talk about thoughtful! We started with a round of their signature spritz drinks (highly recommend!), and then dove into a spread that showcased the menu’s range and excellence. From the refreshing gazpacho and tender pork chop to the deceptively simple bread and butter, every bite was phenomenal. Several of us opted for the prix fixe three-course dinner, and each dish was a masterpiece. But more than the food, what truly sets Bistro Maison apart is the atmosphere—like visiting family in the south of France who just happen to be incredible chefs. This place is an absolute gem. We’re already dreaming about our next visit.
