Editorial Review for Margaux's Restaurant – by Kelly Ferguson
In Short
Ignore the strip-mall setting; inside, this elegant restaurant comes to life. Large, eclectic sculptures and dark-wood dividers break up the cavernous space. With a large aquarium providing the backdrop, servers buzz around, tending to details that complete the fine-dining experience. While the menu is built on seafood and steaks, eclectic ingredients and an international bevy of spices raise the bar.

Where to SitIn the restaurant's upper tier, a bar crowd sips martinis and merlot. Diners looking for an intimate meal flock to the lower tier, where black tables, carpet and dim lighting foster muted conversations.

There are lots of restaurants in Raleigh, but this one offers great food, great service and a great atmosphere. I felt like a "regular" the first time I visited Margaux's. The decor is exotic and eclectic. It really matches my moods. It offers a romantic setting where I can dine with my husband and it's also a great place to meet friends and enjoy the excellent wine selection at the bar. The menu, like the atmosphere, is distinct and enjoyable. My family consists of meat eaters, seafood lovers and vegetarians and we all find great choices on a menu that changes frequently and is never dull. I love the calamari and the desserts are incredible. The shopping - center location, which hosts fast food and retail, is easily forgotten when I step onto Margaux's covered sidewalk and through the medieval doors. The atmosphere and food are equally enjoyable. The staff at Margaux's is great. It really is a place where you are made to feel welcome no matter how busy they are. I've lived here a few years now and I haven't found a restaurant in Raleigh that surpasses this one in service or cuisine. Its awesome!

I've eaten at Margaux's six to ten times over the past few years when I have visited Raleigh and I have been consistently delighted. The service has been attentive without being obtrusive, the ambiance is fun and funky, and the food has always been superb. I have had several seafood dishes that I have been very impressed with, the fish in particular has been served in inventive and delicious ways. The desserts are magnificent. My favorite has been the Chocolate Chess Tartlet, which is a special. I am not a VIP or a regular by any means, they would have no idea who I am, and once when I had planned to go there, a friend called and asked if they would prepare it as she knew it was my favorite, they were gracious and immediately agreed. If this is how they treat customers they don't know, who aren't regulars...they are doing something very, very right. I am not much of a drinker but I have heard very good reviews about the bar and the wine selection. Margaux's is really a delightful dining experience, my favorite place to go in Raleigh. Thank you, Marguax's!
