Since 2018
Maison started with a question: why does Memphis — a city with such extraordinary food culture — not have a fine dining restaurant that feels truly local? Not a steakhouse franchise, not a concept imported from Nashville or New York, but something rooted here.
Chef Dominique Reyes and her partner Jordan Webb opened the doors to Maison in October 2018. The name is French for "home," because that's exactly what they wanted to create.
Six years on, the dining room has become a gathering place for the city — for proposals and anniversaries, for celebrations big and small, for Tuesday nights that turned into unforgettable evenings.
Our menu changes with the harvest. If it's not at its best right now, it's not on the plate. Full stop.
We know the name of every farm we buy from. Eight local producers supply over 70% of what arrives in our kitchen each week.
Great ingredients deserve great cooking. We apply classical French technique to Southern produce — and the results speak for themselves.
Executive Chef & Co-Founder
Dominique trained at the Culinary Institute of America before spending five years in Paris kitchens — including two years under a three-Michelin-star chef. She returned to Memphis in 2015 with a clear intention: to cook the food of her home with the rigour of a French kitchen.
Her food is generous, precise, and deeply personal. Every dish on the menu has a story she can tell you over dessert.
We opened our doors on Cooper Street with 38 seats, a 6-item menu, and more ambition than sense.
Named "Best New Restaurant" in the Memphis Flyer annual dining awards. We cried, then got back to work.
Pivoted to an outdoor dining garden and weekend meal kits during the pandemic. Our community kept us alive.
Dominique named Best Chef in Memphis by the Memphis Flyer. A Southern Living feature follows.
Expanded into the adjoining space to create a private dining room for up to 24 guests.
We believe the best restaurants feel like someone's home — warm, generous, and always happy to see you. Whatever the occasion, we hope you leave feeling like you've been looked after.
