Positive - Restaurant is gorgeous and food is delicious Needs Improvement - Having valet parking only is a negative when restaurant self parking is available; extremely long wait for cocktails; waiter had no idea what a cafe’ au lai was - coffee was awful (French coffee should be delicious); and baked Alaska dessert was delicious, portion was extremely small Overall - will definitely come again for the food and hope a barista is on duty

The Lamb trio was excellent! As was the surf and turf. The gougeres were not very cheesy. The escargot were not very garlicky and the ceviche had a strong citrus flavor bot no heat. The service was great

Love the savory cheese puffs (gougeres). Lovely atmosphere, nice comfy cushy chairs, fun pop music, not too loud. (We could talk to each other!) Delicious onion soup and much more.

Went for my birthday. Our waiter was amazing. Very attentive and great advice. He didn’t know it was my birthday but specifically asked if we were celebrating anything. Then came out with a special dessert plate and candle. Staff sang HBD. Very special place. Can’t wait to go again. Trying the happy hour next time

Ordered bacon & sausage with brunch. Meat was greasy & had not been blotted Very unappetizing. The waiter just said THATS THE WAY THEY DO IT. Don’t like to see orange grease in my plate.

Delicious food. Love the savory cheese puffs, also known as gougeres (a specialty of the Burgundy region of France). Lovely, comfortable atmosphere with fun pop music, not too loud. With so many Houston "French" restaurants seemingly losing their mojo (looking at you Etoile and Brasserie 19), this sweet place is so far reliable. We had a light Saturday brunch of tasty onion soup and expert and imaginative eggs Benedict. Can't wait to go back with a bigger appetite!

The food and the presentations at Maison Pucha are always excellent. The do food as art! Everyone at our table of 5 loved their selections, from the burger to the shrimp. Dessert was outstanding, the creme brulee with a hint of cardamom was amazing.

All of our group’s cars were broken into - no other patrons. Staff were not concerned, nor engaging about the issue. While not their fault, there was no empathy. Seems this happens frequently…

I had an incredible dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offered a wide variety of options to cater to different tastes, and the chef's creativity truly shone through. I particularly enjoyed the King Crab and soufflé, which was a delightful blend of textures and tastes. Overall, Maison Pucha Bistro is a gem that stands out in the culinary scene. It's the ideal place for a special occasion or a memorable night out. I can't wait to return and savor more of their exquisite dishes. Highly recommended!

Food was very good and presentation was outstanding. Was there for restaurant week. Very nice decor in a newish building sort of off the beaten track. The drinks were more expensive than even high end restaurants and they managed to ruin a martini even with my favorite gin (Bombay Sapphire).

Once I got past the hostess, all was fine. Not the first time I have had an issue at check in. She was not very accommodating to my needs that day. Customers come first remember. Alberto was super! He was very attentive throughtout the time I was there with my Mom. Will definitely return, as I have done all these years. I hope I do not meet the same hostess.
