Maison du Bootlegger: Reviews & Ratings
We had an amazing time!!! You really really need to go here!!! Everything, from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course to the desert... entertainment and tour of the house! I'm in awe!!! Splurge on the baby back ribs!! Like DO NOT PASS the opportunity to savor the best, fall off the bone, tasty, home cooked, heavenly Baby back ribs!!!! I had the venison and am sooooo picky on the freshness and cooking time. It was perfect like melt in my mouth perfect!! Desert was yummy and my French kiss and night cap crowned everything perfectly
Very unique experience of being in a place that was actually used to serve alcohol during prohibition. Excellent tour (en francais) of the hidden rooms. Fantastic steak and a fun band and show after dinner. Elvis and JFK have been there too. Oh, this was the first time I have seen booze as a dessert option on a prix fixe menu.
What a find this place is!! Absolutely awesome...
Giving this place a 5 star because it was like a big surprise! Magical. The tour, the history and the ambiance are unique. On another note the food was good (not impressed) and be prepared
Very historical location, we had a tours around the house, back to the prohibition, good service with Sarah we recommend, so fun we had there with live band, dancing & singing and funny hat provided by resturant that makes ambiance very extraordinary ...
This place is awesome! It is a unique, once in a lifetime must do experience! I say experience because it combines a meal, a museum tour and a concert all in one. The reservations must be done way ahead of time. The table d'hote includes a soup or salad with a homenade dressing, a main course and a desert for a set price. There are extras for an additional cost. Between courses you visit the museum and it is quite unique! After the meal, the concert begins and the drinks continue and what a menu for drinks. Prices are reasonable for a party that spends the whole evening there. There is only one sitting, hence, you have your table for the night. All meats are grilled before your eyes! It is a real party!
OMG, such an awesome experiece. The food, the service, the tour, the band. Was so worth it!
Super fun place to go for a boozy night out. Has some great history, a great atmosphere and dancing with funky hats!
