We celebrated our anniversary there, and it was perfect. The food, the staff it was all A plus. I would recommend Cafe Margaux for any special occasion or just a great night out.

Not much more to say other than perfection.We were able to walk right in and sit down.The service is a bit different (all the servers walking around help each table) but it was a fantastic experience.
Made reservations for 3 people for a dear friend's birthday at 2pm. When we arrived, the restaurant was closed. When we called, they stated the reservation was for 1:45pm. A shame because we were excited to celebrate with them.

The famous tomato basil was a bit salty, but the omelette was good. The key lime pie tasted old, and our service was ok. I expected more.

Stepping into Cafe Margaux is like being transported straight to France. The decor exudes an authentic charm that sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our evening was exceptional.Their unique serving system, where all servers attend to every table, was a refreshing change. While it may seem unconventional at first, it eliminates the need to search for your waiter and ensures prompt and attentive service throughout the meal.Now, let's talk about the food. My medium filet mignon was an absolute delight – cooked to perfection with a mouthwatering crust and accompanied by creamy, melt-in-your-mouth mashed potatoes. Each dish was beautifully plated, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and culinary expertise.We opted for a cabernet to complement our meal, and it did not disappoint. However, my partner found his duck slightly overdone and lacking in sauce, though still flavorful. On the other hand, the tomato basil soup was a standout, even for someone like me who isn't typically a fan of tomato-based soups.For dessert, I tried the pecan pie. While it was okay, it didn't quite meet my expectations for a French pastry dessert. It lacked the depth of flavor and finesse I was anticipating. I would not order it again.Overall, our dining experience at Cafe Margaux was superb. It was the perfect setting for a romantic date night, and we left already planning our return. If you're craving authentic French cuisine served with impeccable hospitality, look no further than Cafe Margaux in Cocoa Village.
Amazing blue cheese pizza! And the spinach tomato? OMG. We used to frequent weekly about a decade ago, when my son attended St Marks there, and then just ordered 3 times in the last 6 months: Seeing them Offered on DoorDash and remembering I loved them, gave it that one shot after a decade...and the standards are just as high and the quality and the taste is perfection still. How many places can you say set the same standard and quality of food, a decade after your first try?! None. Yall - go to them. The spinach and tomato pizza/flatbread and the blue cheese and steak- just order them and thank me later. (But- if you're sensitive and think your thing child can do no wrong- don't go there. One reason I remember them so vividly, my son, around 8yo, sat at the outside window and was kicking the wall. I kept telling him to stop. Very strongly. He was about to be destroyed by me for not listening- and an employee (maybe owner) saw that and said "stop kicking the wall or leave". I LOVED they put him in his place, since he wanted to play and not listen to me...he never kicked a wall again...EVER) so if you think your "baby is perfect"- don't go if your "baby" can't control themselves)

I haven't heard of this business, nor have any experience with cafe' Margaux. You'll have to be brave and try it or find a reddit post or discord thread. Maybe consumer reports has the inside scoop

Fine french cuisine in an elegant setting. The truffle fries are to die for. Try the lunch menu for more affordable (but just as good)

We have been to this restaurantmany tumes, but our last outing was a disappointing experience. When we arrived, we were the only table seated in our area. At that time, the service was fine. As other tables were seated, the service went south. While other tables that arrived later were being taken care, we were lost in the "team" service approach. We had to ask for our bread, we had to ask for water and once the entrees were served no one returned to check to see if we needed anything else. Further, I ordered the fish trio and it was dry with very little sauce. Overall, a subpar performance.
Great service, food and atmosphere. My wife took us there for valentines ? day. Highly recommend the experience.

Wow! What a disappointment. I have been here so many times with my husband for anniversary dinners and today was the worst service I have ever experienced. I took my mom for lunch for her first time and we were checked zero times. I ended up taking my salad home. I felt like a peasant sitting in a corner. Thank goodness they gave me cash from my gift card so I don't have to return. I'm not sure if this is customary for lunch time or expected during lunch hours but I'm completely shocked and will end sending my business there.

Excellent food with exceptional steaks, exquisite service, and an extensive wine list for all levels of connoisseurs!

I've eaten there several times (okay, maybe more) - usually not indoors; I prefer dining on the lovely patio outside. Every time I'm in Cocoa Village I try and stop by there - their service and food are top-notch! Even though I was wearing "street clothes" on more than one occasion, they treated me like I was a prince. If you want to do something for Valentine's day for your loved person, take them there either before or after taking them to a production at the Cocoa Village Playhouse. Some would call it a little pricey, but frankly, worth every dime and then some. Just as a favor to me, ask them if they've got any cheesecake.
