Ma Maison

Ma Maison was a restaurant opened by Patrick Terrail in the fall of 1973 at 8368 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, California. It is credited with getting Wolfgang Puck's career off the ground and being a hot spot for celebrities.[1][2] Terrail arranged for many famous artists to paint the menu covers.[3] (One menu was featured in an art exhibition at the Los Angeles Central Library).[4] It closed on November 1, 1985.[5]

Their phone number was unlisted, supposedly because "If you don't have the number, we don't want you."[6]
