5/5
Love going to the local Pacific Palisades restaurant, Maison Giraud, on Swarthmore. It's a locals favorite and has been for years. We enjoy breakfast or brunch here - usually the Eggs Benedict or Croque Madame. Nice! Hopefully it'll survive the gentrification of the area! Enjoy.....

    4/5Excellent

    I'm torn about Maison Giraud. The food is good, sometimes very good (like the duck fillet & the chocolate souffle) and so too is the service, both better than you can find in many an LA eatery. But... I know what Alain Giraud, chef & owner of Maison Giraud, can do. I was a huge fan of Anisette, the phenomenal restaurant in Santa Monica he helped envision and was master chef at. At Anisette every meal, and I mean every meal, and I ate there many, many dozens of times, was always filled with surprise and delight. The food was fantastic, the extra touches from presentation to details in preparation excelled, and the décor and atmosphere was such that you could truly believe you were in France for a few hours. And if you were lucky Alain would step out of the kitchen, smiling from ear to ear, lord of all he surveyed, and stop by your table, shake hands, banter a bit and absorb the adulation of the dinners who so admired this magician of the kitchen. And when I eat at Maison Giraud, these memories come back, and I'm a little disappointed. Because at Maison Giraud the dishes aren't as special, as magical, as filled with surprise and delight. They seem to have been simplified down, blander, more generic… And maybe this is out of necessity. Maybe this is what the Palisades crowd demands: Predictability, fresh quality ingredients, and nothing outside their comfort zone. But… I know another Alain Giraud, one that is truly a masterful magical wizard of great cuisine. A chef who will dazzle you with hyper-traditional French cuisine the way you wish your French grandmother made it, as well as being fully capable of delicious culinary spectacle. A man whose gregariousness is as infectious as is his smile. And I miss him. Hopefully he will be back soon.
