Delicious food with a beautiful ambiance that made a perfect dinner!! Loved the bananas foster French Toast as well when we went for breakfast, the flavor was unreal. Favorites for dinner were the shrimp orchiette, burrata pasta, the shrimp tempura is also to die for and beautifully plated with the sauce and sesame seeds. The duck is hands down the show stopper on the menu. Great drinks, fabulous dishes, look forward to going back soon!! And get the Madeline’s for dessert!

Fabulous brunch and service. Everything we had was fantastic. My friends and I came for a Sunday brunch, i ordered the Caesar salad sandwich, which was delicious. Their truffle fries with aioli alone, I would come back for. The blue berry pancake was beautiful. I ordered a “just a lil kick” which is a spicy margarita which was delicious. Prices were on the higher side. The only complaint was the Madeline’s were slightly burnt on the edges. Overall, the experience was great would highly recommend brunch here.

New favorite brunch spot! Their food is truly phenomenal, I tried the ratatouille omelette, blueberry Dutch baby and eggs royal - all of which were perfect. They have a wide selection of drinks as well, including some great mocktails. It is a real gem of French inspired cuisine in the heart of Clarendon, it really feels like you’re transported to the French countryside. The ambiance is charming and elegant, I’d recommend sitting outside of the weather is nice as their patio is lovely. And of course the service is amazing, you can tell they care about their employees here. Sarah is the best!

Ever since we discovered this modern French restaurant a few years ago, we have been frequenting it for its excellent drinks, delectable dishes, and cozy ambiance. We particularly enjoyed their desserts, which perfectly ended our meal. The service is always top-notch, but the only downside is that there is little space between tables, and you can practically hear others' conversations even if you didn't intentionally listen.

Five stars isn’t enough for Maison Cheryl. My husband and I have dined at countless Michelin-starred restaurants, and this experience topped them all. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We ordered the duck and the burger, and both were mind-blowing. The duck was cooked to absolute perfection tender, flavorful, with a jus that was simply unforgettable. The risotto? Creamy, rich, and dreamy. Even the fries were next-level. The cocktails were balanced and creative, and every single bite felt thoughtful and elevated. Maison Cheryl isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. This place deserves all the stars. WOW. We’re still talking about it. Can’t wait to return.

Mason Cheryl never misses. The Sibling Revelry cocktail is a standout, perfectly balanced and so easy to sip. And the truffle fries are absolutely delicious, rich, and addicting. A must-order every single time. If you go, have Ben make your cocktail. Truly, any drink you choose he will elevate. His recommendations never disappoint and he brings such great energy to the bar. Highly recommend for amazing drinks, great service, and a fun vibe.

This is a small french-style bistro in the heart of Clarendon. It had great food and a laid-back atmosphere. I had a great burger and my wife had salmon. All the entrees and appetizers look great. The drink list was comprehensive, and a large number of people were at the bar. We've been several times.

The restaurant was a great brunch spot! The interior & menu was modern chic. I personally ordered the Crème Brûlée French Toast and it was amazing~ (we even got a Lava Cake as our dessert) And thank you to our server for creating a great atmosphere and making a memorable, short celebration for me! 🤩

More people need to visit this restaurant! Went for the happy hour deal; the maison burger with fries and a beer or wine for $21. It was delicious! We also tried the fried chicken deviled eggs (amazing) and 2 cocktails. I highly recommend the "all work and no play" cocktail and the old fashion. Both drinks were made perfectly and we were really impressed. Overall, you should definitely visit here! Happy Hour is every day from 4 to 7 pm (yes, even on weekends).
