    I enjoyed the food very much. Very noisy though. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Friday night. They doubled charged us for a meal by accident, and they graciously corrected it. Just look closely at your tab.

    We are always glad to introduce Maison Cheryl to out-of-town visitors, since it provides a more intimate dining option than other nearby Clarendon establishments. The deviled eggs, crab cake, roast duck, salad entrees, lava cake and chocolate pot de creme were all big hits. If you're looking for excellent food and a European cafe vibe, look no further than Maison Cheryl.

    The food bills itself as French but that is just window dressing.

    Exceptional food and service. Reasonable prices given the quality. Space is comfortable but not fancy/luxurious. It has become our go-to restaurant when we want to be assured of a very good upscale meal.
