   The place has a really nice vibe, and I was lucky to get there early before it got super busy in the evening — a big group came in and it got a bit loud. Totally understandable though, it was packed! The food was really tasty and made with great ingredients, and the female staff were super friendly and helpful. Really impressed.

   I ate here on my first night on akaroa and was overly pleased. To start the food was delicious. We got the tuna crude and olives to start and they were amazing and coming from someone who works at a sushi restaurant the tuna was super fresh tasting. We also got the salmon and mussels as the main dishes which were also delightful. The cocktails were gorgeous and tasted great as well. Lastly our server Rihanna was fantastic very helpful in recommending both drinks and meals and even when we had accidentally forgot our reusable water she ran after us to give it to us. Overall had a great experience and would definitely dine here again!

   I ate here with 9 friends two nights in a row, because we loved it so much the first night! This charming seaside restaurant offers top-quality local fare (Akaroa salmon, New Zealand lamb, local cod) expertly prepared. Our server Gitti was amazing, bursting with warm hospitality. Excellent wine list, too. Highly recommend for a memorable dinner out in Akaroa.

   Amazing food! What an explosion of tastes! Been in NZ for 5 days and just had the best meal in years with the scallops entree and steak as main! If ya end up in Akaroa do go! They open till late so you can watch the sunset over the bay.

   Really love the food and ambiance here. We ordered the following and we really enjoyed the pan-seared scallops! We'll eat here again if ever we find ourselves in Akaroa again.

   I can say it was perfect brunch for us. We didn't planned which restaurant we would go. During walk, we heard noisy sound due to their exterior upgrade, and I thought the name was lovely. (Ma maison means my house in French.) The big boat which is having on the ceiling was interesting, and the staffs were very kind and caring. The food choice was great luckily. We had seared scallops, some mushroom with sour dough, and with extra some side menu. The scallops were fresh and cooked perfectly, and it melted in my mouth. The mushrooms food was tasty, but personal it could be much better with some meats such as bacon to add a bit of saltiness. If I visit Akaroa again, I will definitely choose the scallops again.

   The food was great but the service was not good. Not good at all. We had the bread with cheese spread and the scallops to start. They were both delicious although I’m not a fan of the full scallop with the roe attached. For mains we had the lamb loin and the Akaroa seafood. Both clams in my seafood had sand in them and the 1 shrimp was no deveined/cleaned properly. We had the brioche pudding for dessert. We ordered desert before finishing our mains because everything took so long. We saw other tables getting frustrated and walking up to pay rather than waiting for their bill and looking at their watches in frustration. It wasn’t busy, there were quite a few staff, and we had a reservation. Tables came in staggered so it was a mystery why the service was so slow. Dirty dishes weren’t picked up and my drink order was forgotten and the water bottle wasn’t refilled. Throughout we saw our server coughing into her hands. As we left all the servers were petting a dog that came in with its owner, going back to work and petting the dog again. It was a delicious but frustrating slow meal.

   Great view, great service, pretty good food in general. We ordered pan seared scallops, mussels for starters, Salmon, Cod for the mains, green beans with truffle oil, orange chocolate moose, and crème brûlée to celebrate our anniversary. The starters Scallops and mussels were really fresh and delicious. However for both fish dishes, they added too much salt to the fish, which was too salty for us. While the two desserts were very tasty and beautifully presented. The service was also great. Would be perfect if the fish was less salty.
