Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Great for brunch

BYOB French restaurant with a unique blend of Southern-inspired cuisine and bistro classics: think Confit Fried Chicken and Waffle, and Steak au Poivre. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with antique mirrors lining the walls, candlelight, and warm and friendly service. We have seasonal outdoor seating along a lovely alleyway with potted blooms and bird serenades.

Located on historic Antique Row, this charming spot is a great place to meet for a special occasion, date-night, business meal, or a casual dinner with friends. This is a small family-owned business and everything is made to order. Grab your favorite bottle of wine and head to this hidden gem to experience a contemporary take on French cuisine.

Mabu Kitchen is just lovely- not too fussy, not too laid back, a nice restaurant where you can get a delicious meal for not an unreasonable price.

I cannot rate this restaurant high enough! It is a small dinning room so reservations are a must. I started with the French onion soup which was one of the best I’ve ever had in the US - it was a perfect size since I had ordered the beef bourguignon. The bourguignon was tender and delicious. My partner had the mac & cheese which was excellent and not large and duck confit for his main dish also delicious. Bridget runs a great dinning room and we will always come back!

One of the BEST burgers we've ever had!!! However, the fries need some work. They're good, but not elevated at all.

Food was great but we waited 45 minutes for our brunch order to come out and had to ask for our coffee to be served 25 minutes in. There was only one server for the place, and a large party of 12 that took up half the restaurant was seated right next to us. We felt forgotten much of the time. My latte was gone by the time my breakfast arrived, and I asked for a coffee refill and was told I would be charged for it, so I passed. Very nice people, very good food. Maybe the slow service and I attentiveness was an outlier...?

My birthday brunch was impeccable. The setting is quite quaint and aesthetically pleasing with small details throughout. The biscuits and gravy, Dutch baby and shrimp and grits were flavorful and plentiful. Lastly, the customer service was genuinely attentive and helpful. I’m looking forward to returning in the near future.

Enjoyed it thoroughly!! Lovely music and well prepared food. The chef really understood how to use herbs and spice. The octopus might be the best I ever had! Thank you, Mabu!
