Our Guestbook
“ This is truly a hidden gem on longboat key. The food is absolutely fabulous and so beautiful in presentation. The flavors of everything we're incredible. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. This is a must restaurant to try. We will definitely be returning. ”
“ Wow, what a place!! Totally not obvious from the outside due to location and the building it is housed in but that makes it a truly hidden gem. Nice portion sizes, great time spacing between courses, and fantastic service. Victoria, who I believe is one of the owners, actually served my wife and I for her birthday and made the evening very special. Menu is not vast which means they focus intensely on those items they do have. Don't even get me started on desert because I will run out of character space. In summary, just go there ”
“ An absolutely incredible experience. You are welcomed by an enthusiastic staff who cater to your every need. The serving staff knew the answer to every question we asked and made superb recommendations. Each course was served in a timely manner and allowed time to better the experience. The chef’s training shined through each and every bite. It was hands down some of the best food we have ever had. This restaurant created a memory of a lifetime. ”
“ Your dinner is a full service, French experience. The atmosphere is very romantic and French. Absolutely every single bit of food was beautifully arranged, and the taste was the best I've ever eaten anywhere. The cost was very much worth every penny. Each thing I ate paired well with everything it was served with. Chef Jose is very friendly and very talented, and our French waiter clearly is an expert as well. I can't speak highly enough of this place. Try it, and you will certainly not be disappointed. Perfect for a date night or any night for that matter. If it were located where I actually lived, I would probably never want to eat anywhere else. Full applause deserved. Well done. To the staff: It was a pleasure meeting you all, and you all are very pleasant and talented people. ”

“ In retirement, I have had some fun exercising my inner critic -and wanted to make sure I weighed in on Maison Blanche. Only a few times in my dining out career(remember in retirement:) have I left the restaurant and opined out loud, "THIS WAS A PERFECT MEAL!"- not one thing could have been better. Kudos to this special family owned/operated by Michelin Chef Jose and his charming wife/partner Victoria. Glad we live close by! ”
“ How do you give a gazillion stars, in French? The food and service were impeccable, delicious and delectable. The chef should be Michelin rated. Presentation of every course was so beautiful and even more delicious. Thank you for sharing your Paris passion with us. ”
