Also the fries are a must-have with spiced aioli on the side, and so is the Asian chicken salad. All so yummy... Very little seating inside but there's additional seating outside and you can even take your food to go and sit elsewhere in the mall. Love to eat and people watch! Service is great. They'll bring your food to you if you sit in their designated area outside, just do them a favor and stack your dishes once you're done outside to help them clear up for the next party a bit faster!

It is easy to see why this place has 2.4 / 5 stars. Just stop by and watch the staff:…read more 1. Ignore you when you walk in and avoid eye contact 2. Make you feel like they're doing you a favor by taking your order 3. Give a false sense of cleanliness wearing gloves while using the same gloved hands to work with the register, handle cash, make your drink, wipe their head, and take out trash. 4. Take an uncomfortably long time to get your order 5. Ignore cleaning the bathroom And if you're lucky to get the most miserable, cannot-do attitude of a short girl with dark short hair and a tattoo on her shoulder, like others have referenced in previous comments, well, good luck. She is dismissive, condescending, and has zero concept how to treat paying customers. Don't believe me? Please go see for yourself

Brunch at Great Maple easily earns a spot in the upper tier of Newport Beach brunch destinations…read more The space feels effortlessly stylish -- bright, energetic, and polished without trying too hard. Even during peak brunch hours, the atmosphere stays lively rather than chaotic, which already puts it ahead of many popular spots in the area. We went straight for the Rib Eye Melt and the Steak & Eggs, and both were standout choices. The Rib Eye Melt was the star: tender, flavorful steak layered with perfectly melted cheese on crisp, buttery bread that balanced richness with texture. Every bite felt indulgent but well executed. The Steak & Eggs delivered exactly what you want from a classic done right -- a well-seasoned steak with a beautiful sear, cooked perfectly and paired with eggs that tied the plate together into a satisfying, no-frills brunch win. Service stayed attentive and efficient despite the crowd, and dishes came out paced perfectly. Great Maple understands elevated comfort food and executes it consistently well. Come hungry -- this is brunch that leans generous, satisfying, and absolutely worth the visit.

The strawberry donuts were a great finish, amazing texture unlike any donut, almost a cross between a donut and bagel but better than both. So why the 3? From the moment we sat down the service was off. The server didn't bother to ask our side of the table what we wanted to drink, nor did he give us a menu til I asked. And when I asked for a water he responded, "You want another water?" I wasn't even given a water to begin with.

I will say the portions are on the smaller side here but it filled me up. I love that they have a vegetarian menu which has vegetarian versions of their main menu!

This was my first visit to this location, and unfortunately, it will be my last…read more While the ambiance is quite good and it seems like a nice place to hang out, with a seemingly impressive beer collection, the food quality was decidedly average and the service was nearly nonexistent. If you're looking for a spot to relax and enjoy a drink, it might suffice, but if your priority is a decent meal or attentive customer service, you'd be better off elsewhere

Tried half of the Queen Bee and the Chicken Pesto--both were seriously impressive…read more The focaccia is beautifully baked with a crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. It was a touch oily on the outside, which made it a bit messy to eat, but that richness definitely added to the flavor. The Queen Bee had a perfect balance: creamy ricotta, sweet honey, and fresh green pear all working together effortlessly. The pine nuts were a great finishing touch, tying everything together with a subtle nuttiness. It's easy to see why the Chicken Pesto is a crowd favorite. If you're into pesto, arugula, and sun-dried tomatoes, this one hits all the right notes--especially on that toasted basil focaccia. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Only downside is the tough parking situation, but honestly, it's a deli I'd still go out of my way for.

Portion size? It's a BIG sandwich. I think I was expecting the sandwich to be more reminiscent of the type of focaccia sandwiches I had in Italy, but in truth it was just "heavy". The focaccia bread was not light and fluffy, but more dense and oily. I think these sandwiches would cater to many people here as showcased in the other reviews, but just wasn't for me. Glad to have given it a try though! Service was kind and friendly!

This place has great sandwiches. I come here all the time…read more Today I got the Cali cheesesteak. It's got roast beef, mushrooms, marinated cream cheese, jack cheese, onions, and pepperoncinis on a toasted French roll. That's how you can oder it. For me I skipped the onions and added mayo just to switch it up a little, and as always, it was amazing. The bread had that nice toast on it, a little crispy on the outside but still soft. The roast beef was stacked in there, super juicy, with all that melted cheese just covering everything. You can see the mushrooms and peppers mixed in, and it all kind of blends together in every bite. It's messy as heck with all the juices soaking into the bread, but soooo good. Service is always good as well. There are a few girls that worked here today, always smiling, great attitudes, just a really good vibe.

We've always been there when they were closed and said that we wanted to come back to try them. I never made the connection that this caterer and restaurant were one and the same...yeah, I know...I blame menopause brain. Anyway, back to the catering. We got the herb roasted chicken, roasted vegetables, and brussel sprouts. The chicken...to die for! Tasty and moist...and you know how easy chicken breast can dry out! The brussel sprouts were great, and I loved the added sliced jalapeños in it. Since we over ordered the chicken, there were lots of leftovers for us to take home. My family enjoyed it as well. Fast forward a couple months later, and we stopped by to get a few things to go since we were in the neighborhood. We got carrot cake, pies, breakfast pastries, and chicken pot pies. Everything was super tasty, and the pot pies reheated well. Next time, we will dine in and enjoy more of their delicious food!

I rarely write negative reviews, but I want to warn others so this doesn't happen to them…read more I placed an online order days in advance for a cake and cookies for a birthday party. I received a confirmation and my card was charged, so I assumed everything was set. When we arrived at the Corona del Mar location to pick up the order, the staff told us they had no record of the cake at all. Because of this mistake, we were left without a birthday cake for our party. The manager said he would contact the owner and follow up with me, but no one contacted me for two days, and I still hadn't received a refund. When they finally did respond after I had to write again, the message was not very sympathetic, which made the situation even more frustrating. It was to the effect, "we will look for the order and refund you, sorry technical error". This is the second time this has happened with pre-ordering, so I do not think it was a technical glitch. The first time I thought was a one-off, but it seems they have issues with this. Mistakes can happen, but what matters is how a business handles them. Unfortunately, the lack of organization and the poor care after this situation doesn't want to make me ever order from them again. If you're planning something important, I would strongly recommend not relying on an advance order here, or at the very least confirming multiple times beforehand.
