Why Travelers Love Restaurant in 97150
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I liked the vibe, upon arrival i was a bit late because looking for parking space did take 15 minutes. Which is normal in sxm, only thing is the waiter told me that we were late, which i understand but that did set the tone for the whole night. But the waitress and the rest of the crew just made the day and the food better! This place blew us away. The appetizers and main dishes were fabulous. The steak was cooked to perfection, the beef tartare was exquisite. Service was solid, and our night was fun and romantic. We dine out a lot all over the Caribbean, so it was awesome to be so pleasantly surprised. Hotel concierges will suggest the place right next door(it’s been around longer, and quite good), which we’ve tried. Madison Mere is the better choice. Maison Mère completely exceeded our expectations and delivered a fantastic meal and experience during our recent trip. From the moment we arrived, the charming courtyard ambiance set the tone for a relaxed yet refined dining experience. The Filet de Bœuf Hemingway au Poivre Noir was, without question, the highlight of the night. Perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and complemented by a rich peppercorn cream sauce. That said, the Pork Belly from Cantal came in a close second. Crisped to perfection and paired with ultra-creamy mushroom polenta, it was indulgent and incredibly satisfying. Service was warm, attentive, and well-paced, adding to the overall ease and enjoyment of the evening. The space itself is stylish yet cozy, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating nestled beneath lush greenery and twinkling lights. We wrapped up the meal with a delightful digestif, served on what looked like a vintage book, but was actually the portal for our check—such a charming final touch. Maison Mère is a gem, and we’ll absolutely be recommending it to anyone visiting St. Martin. It’s the kind of place that manages to balance elevated cuisine with laid-back island elegance—an experience worth savoring.

Excellent meal on vacation! I put my husband in charge for deciding on a meal for once and he did not disappoint! Started with the oysters and escargot; the mignonette for the oysters was the best I ever had! My daughter had the octopus for dinner, I had the steak & hubby had the Dover sole and we shared puff pastry for dessert. The puff pastry was what we described as a pasty filled creme brûlée with caramel sauce. Will be remembered as a top meal of all time!

Don’t deny yourself an evening (or multiple) at Maison Mère. From the moment you arrive the staff are courteous and welcoming, the ever changing menu gives you an opportunity to try new fantastic dishes on each visit. Although not the lightest on cost they make up for it in ten fold with the environment, good food and impressive presentation. An absolute must do if you are visiting Orient Bay
