Maison Pickle

I had high expectations for this restaurant and unfortunately, they fell a little short. The good: huge portion sizes (lots of leftovers!), easy to get a reservation, food comes out quickly, and friendly staff. Absolutely get the pull-apart bread—it’s so fluffy and one of the best items on the menu. This is a fun restaurant that’s great for groups as plates are so huge and the space is casual. The bad: Food was good, not great. I was expecting it to be a large improvement on Jacob’s Pickles based on reviews and instead felt like it was only incrementally better. The classic macaroni and cheese could’ve used more flavor. The 24-layer chocolate cake was decent but could’ve been better—it felt more like a novelty than anything. My biggest issue with this restaurant is service and timing. Even though every staff member I spoke with was really polite and seemed nice, it took a really long time for them to return to take my order after being seated and immediately placing an appetizer order. The appetizer came out before they came around to ask about drinks. After they did, all of my entree came out before my drink did, which arrived at the end of my meal. Don’t get me wrong—the novelty of Maison Pickle makes it a really enjoyable spot on the UWS and I’d definitely go back, it’s just not a knockout for me.

It’s been about 2 years since I first came and everything is on point. The pull apart honey butter bread is a must try item. Depending on how you’re feeling they have additional flavors, but make sure you start off with the pull apart bread. I tried the hot honey and French toast. It was doused in the sweet honey with a subtle spice to it. The chicken had a good breading on it and was crispy. I enjoyed my meal. First time I went it was during dinner and it was darker inside. I went in earlier this time and the place is vibrant and well lit. For a narrow entrance way the service provided is perfect. Shout out to the waiter he was welcoming and made the experience worth it.

Our experience at Maison was unfortunately very disappointing. While I appreciated the large portion sizes and rustic presentation of each dish, the flavor was not there. The chicken and toast was particularly disappointing; the chicken batter completely fell off and the toast was stale (everything below the first piece). Since Maison Pickle is such an iconic location in upper west side, I’ll likely be back to try it again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Maison Pickle! From the moment we made personalized reservations, the process was smooth and the communication was top-notch. The presentation was phenomenal, and our server, Drake, went above and beyond. Our reservation was from 7-9, and we enjoyed a delicious prefixed meal that left us all delighted. The appetizers of seasoned artichoke shrimp dumplings and bacon steak were a hit, followed by a choice of salmon or chicken and waffles with a side of fries, mouthwatering mac and cheese, or creamy mashed potatoes. The Oreo cake for dessert was a true highlight, and the razzle dazzle drink was the perfect accompaniment. Our party of 16 left Maison Pickle with smiles on our faces, thoroughly impressed with the experience. We can't wait to return and highly recommend Maison Pickle for a memorable dining experience!

Delicious food and great service. Make sure you get their pull apart bread. I got the parmesan and herb and it was delicious. The friend chicken and french toast was also amazing and a huge portion. Our server was super nice as well

This was so good! The food, the vibes, everything! We ordered a French dip and mussels and both were exceptional. Our servers were very attentive and despite it being super hot outside, the restaurant provided relief. The entrance is narrow and there are lots of stairs, so accessibility might be an issue if you have mobility restrictions. Their wine list was great and they have bar seating if you’re not able to get a table. It gets busy during the weekend, so get a reservation if you can. Highly recommend!

Showed up for their Restaurant Week menu, a perfect way to try out a restaurant! Last week, 2 of us dined, the watermelon salad was sooo good! Refreshing with basil and a hint of lemon. Best thing we had! The deviled eggs were good (Jacob’s pickles version is better). The French dip was just ok. The tuna salad was very good. The Oreo icebox cake was amazing! And more than enough for 2! Key lime pie was nice and tart. On second visit, I had the watermelon salad, the chicken, bacon and (French) toast (fabulous, 3 thick slices of toast) and the same Oreo icebox cake. Aug 2024

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant. The food portions are HUGE, so if you're hungry, you will not be disappointed. The pull apart bread was top tier, and the macaroni and cheese was cheesy and delicious. I love cheese, so it was spot on with several cheese blends. My entree was HUGE. I could have stopped after the appetizers, but of course, I kept eating, lol. The French toast topped with buttermilk chicken was AMAZING. OH, and I forgot the bacon. I will definitely return everything was worth the trip.
