We went for our 9th wedding anniversary and we are thinking of making this a tradition. The food was absolutely delicious, not one thing disappointed. My husband got the table d'hote that included a starter and main, I got from the market menu which included a potage, starter, main, cheese plate, dessert, and chocolates. The wine list had many options for different budgets and the cocktail list was quite extensive and well priced.
The service was great, very friendly staff, they fully explained each part of the menu, came often to refill water and wine and to offer more warm bread.
If you're looking for a place with a vibe, this is not it, if you want quaint, cozy, homey, and to be able to talk with your person/people this is a wonderful gem to discover.
The only negative is that when you walk in the restaurant it smells like musty old carpet, but we are having a very hot/humid summer and you don't notice it anymore once the food starts coming out.
Overall an amazing place and would highly recommend.

Food was really good, but service was otherwise. Will not go back because of their inconsiderate services.

Good, classic French cuisine. Generous portions. The table d'hote is given verbally first...nice touch but so fast it's hard to fathom. Same with desserts (no written list/prices). Also no list of wine by the glass. Cordial hostess. Busboy blunder: removing my plate while my husband was still eating. Unfortunate: plastic flowers.

Great food, good wine list and impeccable service!

Wonderful experience, food was great, staff perfect, over fabulous experience

One of my all time favorite restaurants off island. The food is always delicious, the wine isn't overpriced and the service is second to none. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. They are also a chocolate maker, so the complimentary chocolates with an expresso is the best.
The restaurant is always in demand, so reservations are a must.
The decor is country farmhouse with a nice fireplace, so pretty awesome on a winters day.
Again, a little pricey, but at the end of the day, worth it.

L’expérience culinaire était absolument fantastique! Un service impeccable et un staff avec des connaissances formidables c’est ce qui vous attend au Maison du Défricheur. Tellement un plaisir d’avoir une telle qualité dans notre coin.

Excellent treat for a birthday or occassion.

Tasty food, great presentation, courteous service, quaint ambiance. Good choice for that special occassion.

I have been going to this restaurant on and off for about 30 years. It is a wonderful experience every time, with top notch creative and local food, made with care by the hard working family of owners. Not cheap but quality through and through so you get what you pay for. Always happy to support local, and especially these people who have weathered significant hardship over the years and keep bringing us incredible food and service with a smile.

As good as it gets. The food is out of this world. Service is impeccable. Ambiance is dreamy.
