    Cheese puffs as a finis
    Robert C.

    As always, food, ambience and service are stellar at this amazing French restaurant. Untouched by the recent storms, closed only due to power & phone shutoff after the hurricane. Our server, Jose Jr, was most excellent and we had time to chat with Madame Victoria and Jose Sr as business was light everywhere on the island. The wine list is spectacular (no BYO) and the cuisine is impeccable. The setting is as close to fine dining as one gets in our area. If you haven't been here, you are missing out.

    Watery souffle
    Bill F.

    I've eaten in many a Michelin restaurant and this is not one of them. My wife had the lobster appetizer and I had the mushroom ravioli which were delicious. So ended the fine dinning experience. Our short ribs had a sauce that was cloyingly sweet and had an off putting taste, not to mention that the rib was luke warm. My wife had ice cream for desert it was fine (guess it's hard to drop the ball on that) I had the chocolate soufflé which was served in a coffee cup... seriously! Additionally, the interior of the soufflé was watery and when I brought this to the attention of the server he said; "This is how it's prepared here somewhat undercooked." The chef (or more aptly a cook) peeked out from the kitchen but never came to the table. Needless to say we won't be returning. I will also advise the concierge at The St. Regis of this awful dining experience. I'm feeling rather generous tonight so I'll give them two stars.

    Lamb en croute

    The restaurant has a very unique and intimate ambience. The walls are covered with light drapery. There was an old fashioned Christmas tree in the middle of the room up in the air. Another one near a table. The food ranks up there with the fine NYC restaurants. I heard the chef has a Michelin star. I had this artichoke dish that was delightful! The Lamb en croute was amazing!! The meal ended with a decadent chocolate souffle. This is the BEST restaurant I have ever been to in many years!

    Tomato torte appetizer

    From the time you enter, you know you are in for a special dining experience. We opted for the price fix dinner ($85)which was plentiful and delicious. My tomato torte appetizer was an explosion of flavors. My red snapper entree was excellent with broth and potatoes. My wife's chocolate soufflé was very special. The ambiance is upscale, the waitstaff is professional, the wine list is pretty substantial and the food is the star

    What a delightful experience, and yes, it's an experience! Issac was delightful and the food was amazing! We've celebrated special occasions with Maison n Blanche and tonight was very special . We shared the Dover soul, had the crab and avocado appetizer, the mushroom ravioli, and of course, ended the evening with the chocolate soufflé, which is absolutely amazing! We just love Maison Blanche!

    This small and intimate spot in Longboat Key has been on our fine dining list since we moved to the area in 2019. Offering a prix fixe menu at $90 for three courses with some specials and an up charge for some items providing some interesting menu options. The restaurant is located at the front of a resort with good parking. The restaurant is rather small drapes in white with nice plants to break up the space. We were greeted warmly and sat for our 6:45pm reservation. The highlight here is the food which was executed near flawlessly. Every dish was delicious from the amuse-bouche to dessert. Service was efficient and professional, maybe too rigid. They recognized our anniversary with a nice candle, nice not great. Our major issue was the seating, maybe the most uncomfortable seats ever. I'd rather ride in a Humvee for 2 hours than seat in those seats again. Definitely worth a visit for some classic French cuisine with a taste of Florida. Overall rating 4.5.

    Service, food and ambiance are incredible. My filet was out of this world. The desserts are next level. A wonderful pre fixe menu, never been -- you are missing out.

    Few places have left me star struck. This being one of the few. Everything from the ambiance to the warm towels prior to your meal is exquisite. Our server was amazing and of the upmost knowledge. They definitely made my husbands 30th birthday one for the books.

    We celebrated my moms birthday and I knew this was the place to go. My family had been but it was my first and wow, it was one of the most incredible dining experiences I've had. I called Saturday afternoon and was shocked they had an opening. You would never expect such a profound restaurant to be in this location because it is hidden in a time share resort. Parking was easy and the entrance itself was gorgeous. We walked in and the owner, Victoria immediately greeted us and wished my mom a happy birthday. Our table was perfectly tucked into the corner and I was blown away by the style of the dining room (even the bathroom was beautiful). The tables had white table clothes with brown leather chairs that had rollers on the bottom (this is smart because it makes it easy for people to get in and out of their chair) We started off with a bottle of champagne to celebrate and Victoria helped us pick our which one we would like based on our preferences of flavor. We enjoyed a few glasses as we gazed over the menu. It is a prix fixe menu so you pick an appetizer, entree and dessert. I chose: - Stuffed Wild Mushrooms Ravioli with Foie Gras Sauce & Black Truffle - Filet Mignon - Vacherin with Whipped Cream & Raspberries The waiter brought over a complimentary starter that was delicious. It was Amuse Bouche of Whipped Potato Soup & Truffle. After our champagne we ordered a bottle of red wine. Again, Victoria helped us pick out the best wine based on the dishes we ordered. It was a French red blend and it had a Smokey flavor but super light and paired very well. The mushroom ravioli was one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. I was blown away and couldn't wait to try the next course. The filet was cooked PERFECTLY and again, one of the best steaks I've ever had. I ordered it medium and it just the right amount of pink with a charred crusted outside. For dessert I was feeling strawberry and I had the Vacherin with Whipped Cream & Raspberries. It was so refreshing and unlike any dessert I've had. This was a dining experience of a lifestyle. Although our dinner was $600 for three people, it was a memory I will have forever. The owner, Victoria is from Paris and we talked with her after our meal. She has successfully brought French cuisine to such a small town in Florida. If you are in the Sarasota/Longboat Key area, you must try Maison Blanche.

We were impressed with her recommendations. She made us feel very welcome, which added to our fantastic meal. We enjoyed all of the appetizers - spanakopita, grilled octopus, spicy fries with feta, and dolmades. All were delicious, however, my favorites were the dolmades and grilled octopus. For dinner, we ordered the beet and feta salad and open face lamb and chicken pita. Absolutely delicious! To end our meal, we shared the carrot cake with pecans and cranberries. The combination was out of this world. Looking forward to dining here again. Thank you for the great meal and service.

There was a good amount of cheese curds and the gravy with the FF's were perfect. Truffle Burrata, also very good the black garlic is strong but it worked nicely with the dish. A large serving. My spouse loves mushrooms. I like them but it was still really good. Cubed yellow fin tuna: Also a very large portion and good flavour but it could have gone without the tomatos (and I love tomato's) And perhaps served with a rice cup or something to scoop it up. Everything is diced up so it makes it kind of messy to eat. We got a burger to split. we didn't order a side but the waiter I guess put them in anyhow. The FF without the poutine are just ok. The burger on the other hand was really good and cooked perfectly. We split everything and took home left overs, as it was a lot of food. We shared the butterscotch gelato and had coffee to go with it. The service is good, The athompshere is pleasant. We will definitely be back to try some of the other items. I'm not a greek fan so I wouldn't touch those but my husband will. :)

The waitress was very friendly and helpful with answering all my questions. We ordered 2 glasses of pinot noir which were decent, fried artichoke hearts for the appetizer and two pizzas one cheese and one with garlic, cheese, and little chilies. The appetizer was really good but I think it could have been elevated a notch if the dip was more of a lemon base dipping sauce. The pizzas were both thin and very tasty, nice tomato base, I liked the little difference of crust (thin & crunchy) compared to your normal softer crust on an Italian wood fired pizza. I like when I'm able to have preferences on pizza crusts on any given day. I would like to go back and try something else next time to see what this little spot has to offer. Overall it was a good experience and we will try it again in the future. Food 8.0 Atmosphere 8.0 Service 9.0
