Recommended wine pairings are served in collections to mirror the entree trios. Margeaux Supper Parlor serves New American cuisine, blending dishes inspired by the two most historic port cities in the country: New Orleans and Boston. Dinner plates include: Tomato & Bacon Jam Deviled Eggs (topped with a fried Maine oyster), Lamb Lollipops with cherry reduction, Pumpkin Ravioli, Beef Wellington, Shrimp & Boursin Grits, and Maple Bourbon Steak Tips.Brunch is also served in themed collections and includes items such as: Quiche Lorraine, Fried Chicken & Sweet Corn Waffle, Eggs Benedict, and a Black Forrest Waffle.

I took 4 friends to the Afternoon Tea. The service was wonderful. Ambience was nice, and the food and tea were delicious. We got just the right amount of attention from our server, and she was quite busy that day with a very large party. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you!

My son took his 85-year-old mother (me) out for new year's day brunch. Enjoyable ambience, great service. The buffet was interesting, but not too fresh, as we came late: B+. Courtney, who waited on us, as well as being very kind and efficient, was lovely, and had a delightful sense of humor: A+. We would certainly go there again.
