Recommended wine pairings are served in collections to mirror the entree trios. Margeaux Supper Parlor serves New American cuisine, blending dishes inspired by the two most historic port cities in the country: New Orleans and Boston. Dinner plates include: Tomato & Bacon Jam Deviled Eggs (topped with a fried Maine oyster), Lamb Lollipops with cherry reduction, Pumpkin Ravioli, Beef Wellington, Shrimp & Boursin Grits, and Maple Bourbon Steak Tips.Brunch is also served in themed collections and includes items such as: Quiche Lorraine, Fried Chicken & Sweet Corn Waffle, Eggs Benedict, and a Black Forrest Waffle.

We had to wait for our table despite making a reservation and ended up taking the bar seats. However, we had a lovely bar experience. The bartenders are welcoming and are quickly able to provide help with the menu. We love the idea that you can get 3 sample portioned entrees to make up a meal. We did the fox and knife collection with the wine pairing for that collection, and then did a la carte 1 sampler from the other 3 collections (lollipop lamb, pumpkin ravioli and shrimp and grits). Everything was delicious and flavorful. Dessert was the rhubarb pie - buttery, flaky, sweet and tart! Chef’s kiss!

Excellent food and service. We went on a gluten free Monday due to my wife’s celiac disease. Gluten free or not, the food was fantastic.

I love Vintage Tea and Cake! It's a charming, warm and friendly setting for gathering with friends and enjoying a calm, delicious break over lovely finger sandwiches, scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and delicious sweet treats. Plus an extensive variety of teas and bubbles, if you wish! I warmly recommend Vintage Tea and Cake!
