    We were very impressed with our meal at Margeaux and will be recommending it to anyone in the area. We visited Margeaux for our anniversary before visiting The Royal Albert Hall last night and we're very satisfied with everything from the service to the food itself. We enjoyed the truffle gnocchi and grilled octopus to start, the ginger chicken and duck breast as our main course and the cheese plate to finish as well as a rosé from Provence. Beautiful, thank you for a delicious meal and a wonderful evening!

    Made last minute reservation at 6:20 for 6:45 seating. They seated us in the bar for starters. Took a while to get a drink but server was friendly and bar was interesting. Had some unusual offerings. They let us look over the menu .. new chef if April..new concept dining..no ala carte offering just a five or nine course menu at dinner, oriented around seafood dishes. We chose the 5 course menu. Each dish small, lovingly presented, and explained in detail by server. All choices were delicious especially the John Dory.
