Description: Maison Carlos is a continental restaurant with an emphasis on French and Italian cuisine. Carlos and Lanie Farias opened Maison Carlos in December of 2002. After seven years on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach, the couple made the decision to move their establishment a couple miles south to the El Cid neighborhood. They wanted a smaller restaurant with more of a neighborhood vibe. The new space has only eleven tables and is open for dinner only. Carlos is there every night, seating people, taking orders and is very hands on. Being open only for dinner Carlos spends his days shopping for the restaurant, selecting only the freshest ingredients.

Maison Carlos pulls off what so many restaurants can't.Great food and great service to match.i will always return to a restaurant that has great service but I will never go back to a restaurant that has amazing food but bad or arrogant service.Maison Carlos has it down warm welcoming amazing service. Great food with great flavor and daily free ingredients.... More

Their Tuesday pasta night is amazing. All pastas on the menu, plus two pasta specials, are $10. We all had to take our dinners home, the portions were so large. Waiters were attentive and friendly.

From the moment we walked in. Greeted by the owner who made us feel like we were dining in his home. Many of the diners seemed to know each other,and made us feel like we had stumbled into a private club for all who are in the know. We started with the shrimp pil,pli and the snails in a pail....

I cannot say if it was the Vichisoise or the trout which both tasted good, but I got really sick by the time the desert was served and I had to leave the table. I will not go into detail, but let me say that it felt like one of my trip in Egypt few years ago. Anyway, the mousse... More

First let me say I'm so sorry you were sick.,but i'm confident it was not "something in the food".I shop daily for the freshest ingredients and as you said everything tasted good.In ten years of being in business this is a first.Had you brought it to anyones attention that you "guess" it was something in the food we surely would...

All I can say is that I am sorry I can't concur these mostly raving reviews. We came in with a group which may have had something to do with the slow service. It was freezing. I had to run home to grab a sweater and closed shoes. The staff did not respond even a little bit to my hinting... More

We had a wonderful dinning experience last evening. We celebrated a birthday with a group of seven family members. Everyone's food was great. From the complimentary zucchini chips to the final pouring of limoncello the evening could not have been better . Snails in a bucket and lobster Mac and Cheese were fabulous and shared by all.

This is the third year in a row that we've decided to vacation on Singer Island. We are always on the look-out for great restaurants. My husband is a huge fan of Italian cuisine and it's been challenging to find great Italian food in the Palm Beach area. As a result of reading numerous reviews, we decided the we would... More

Can't say enough about the attentive and warm service at Maison Carlos. Carlos himself checked on us to make sure we were enjoying everything. Our waiter was a delight. The grouper and penne and vodka were delicious and the key lime pie the perfect way to end the meal. Buon appetito!
