    I have enjoyed eating at Ma Maison ever since it began (as Pierrot Bistro). The food is reliably nicely prepared and delicious and authentically French, and the staff is typically excellent. It very much reproduces the atmosphere and cuisine of an authentic French neighborhood bistro right in the heart of Beacon Hill - like having our own bouchon in walking distance! Also like real bistros and bouchons, the prices also are not extortionate. Whether it is lunch with friends, or entertaining out of town guests at dinner, I am never disappointed. The combination of excellent food, service, atmosphere and fair prices make it by far my first choice for dining in Beacon Hill.
