    Almond Ricotta Pancakes
    Sean R.

    Maple Avenue Restaurant in one encounter has shot straight to the top of my list as a unique and lovely food experience. It stands on its own, an intimate setting with only a few tables to be seen. The owners and staff lean into that, making you feel like you are the most important person in the room. They stayed attentive throughout and were incredibly knowledgeable of the changing menu and everything that went into each dish. An easy favorite for me was the Omelette, filled with caramelized onion, sweet corn and Gouda; my taste buds have rarely been this happy. Each bite drenched in the umami aïoli saturated my every sense with a delightfully warm and comfortable flavor. I feel as though I could write an essay about each bite of each dish, but I'll try to save you some time. The grilled peach salad was refreshing and led to me scrapping the plate for the remaining nuts and dressing. The squash nuggets rested on a garden's dill crema that could have elevated anything. The almond ricotta pancake was so sweet and fluffy and somehow sophisticated, it could serve as a dessert easily. The spicy crepe fraiche wings surprised me with their subtle heat and tangy lovely flavor. Everything was paired with these perfectly seasoned crispy potato's that soaked up the dishes flavors but could easily be shoveled down completely alone. I don't know if I should go back tomorrow, wait for the menu to change so I can try something new and wonderful, or some combination of the two.

    First course. Buckwheat crepe and fried green tomatoes
    Jisoo B.

    We came here for a late brunch after a back to back workouts (hot yoga + Zumba) so we needed very good nourishing brunch food with some mimosa. This restaurant is tiny but mighty in food in quality, the craftsmanship and service. We were blown away by their pre fix brunch menu for $26. We got two courses each and couldn't have been more satisfied. The eggs were soft and fluffy and tasted like truffles. Fried green tomatoes were masterful. We can't wait to come back and try the dinner prefixe menu.

    Cocktails

    First time to be here for our date night. Foods were amazing including the dessert doughnuts. We had the french pressed coffee. We enjoyed every single dishes here!!

    It's been a few years since we've back, and I regret not going back sooner. Unassuming on the outside, very simple, almost sparse, but the food hits way above it's humble appearances. Vibrant seasonal cocktails, short but very well priced tasty wines by the bottle or glass, and excellent service. 4 course fixed price with 2 to 3 options per course. Root vegetable cake, mushroom risotto, wonderful salmon or pork steak confit with a very interesting caponata. Had to look that item up on the internet. The quality of the food punches way above their prices. Grabbing a weeknight meal before a concert, or something special on a higher budget? Definitely a top spot.

    Truffled Eggs

    This was one of my favorite dining experiences I've had in a while. I did the brunch menu and literally the potatoes were the best I ever had, super crispy. The service was great and I really felt welcomed by the owners. My friend and I are excited to come back to try their dinner menu.

    Amazing restaurant that is tucked away in a nondescript building right off of the main drag in Vienna. Have just 7-8 tables in a small room, and only offer a rotating 4-course 60$ tasting menu with 1-2 choices per course, but literally everything I had here (including my cocktail) was amazing + the server was very friendly as well. The portions were all small, but after 4 of them I was pretty satisfied. Everything was plated very beautifully as well. Although the food menu is limited they do have a solid drink selection.

    Beet soup
    Stephanie C.

    My grandmother and I visited Maple Ave last night and had an absolutely delicious meal. What looks like an unassuming place is truly producing some incredible food. The service was also wonderful and accommodating. Ricardo helped my grandmother inside (she is 94 with a walker) while I parked the car and they even turned the lights up so she could read the menu better. We visited on Sunday at 5pm and had the whole restaurant to ourselves until a couple showed up at 6pm. We started with the beet soup, which was not only welcome on such a cold night, but full of so much flavor. I've never had beet soup and was a little wary of it but it was so good. We then had the mushroom risotto, which was definitely the star of the meal and was warm, chewy and aromatic. The squash paired with the crispy mushrooms was the ultimate flavor combo. We then had the pork, which was so tender. This was the least favorite of the dishes but was still very good and my grandmother ate every bite! We finished the meal with the chocolate bread pudding which was the perfect bite to end the meal, not too sweet, but enough to change the palette and feel like the meal was complete. A true hidden gem!

    Buckwheat crepe - dulce de leche and jam
    Nancy M.

    I tell everyone about this spot because it's so unique, delicious, and there's always something new on the menu. This is my second time coming now - first was for dinner and finally checked out brunch. The server is extremely sweet, passionate about the food, and really is the reason why we came for brunch - per his recommendation! Oh and let me say, this is a no frills place, which I love because the chef really puts her attention on the menu and what she's cooking. We came for an anniversary brunch and it was amazing! My husband got the beef empanada which was so flavorful! The crepe was delicious! Too sweet to start the meal? Not at all. The dulce de leche, jam, and custard was the perfect combo. I could eat another one I ordered the pot roast sandwich and ended up switching with my husband. He liked how heavy and hearty is was. Lots of flavors and juices! I guess i love the simplicity of the truffled eggs, so good! The potatoes and bacon were just the perfect amount of crispy. Of course we ordered the donut holes too and thank god because woah!!!! Soft center on the inside, crispy outside, add the ice cream....we were fighting over them! Can't wait to come again and try a whole new menu!

    Smoked Red Beet Soup
    Latissa R.

    Enjoyed a really great brunch experience at Maple Ave. I loved the simplicity of the dining area, the set menu and the customer service. Everything we ate and drank was amazing!! I ordered the Maple and I had to slow myself down because it tasted so good. The Beer-mosa we were skeptical of, but it was delish. And oh my goodness...the potatoes!!! I will definitely come back when in the area.

    Seared shrimp and house pasta

    This place is really special. Each dish felt like it was made for the first time just for us. Ricardo was delightful and his wife Justé is an absolutely incredible chef. The two have created an environment both lively and intimate. They made our anniversary one to remember. We can't wait to come back and try brunch very soon.

    Went there for Father's Day dinner. It was a fantastic experience. We made reservation online thru Resy which has asked us our diet restrictions. Usually other restaurants missed our special needs and asked again when we order food in the restaurant. I was surprised our server in Maple Ave noticed that and double confirmed with us. He is very attentive and very professional. We were well notified which dish we should be avoided. The presentation of each dish were so beautiful and adjusted to meet our dietry needed. Although I saw some reviews about the price, it is worth because we can tell the chef is really care the customers' needs. Every single dish is very delicious. I personally like the dessert the most. The restaurant is very small, so strongly recommended to make reservations.

    Seasonal Salad
    Jen R.

    Food was great but the ambiance was so unsettling, that I would not go back. There's old carpet, terrible hard chairs, blank gray walls. The whole setting was very unappealing and didn't look clean. Food was great though! The courses came at a great pace. Our favorites were the mushroom risotto and fresh seasonal salad. The salmon dish was a little disappointing, it was the tiniest sliver of salmon!

    Empanada
    Snailkite D.

    I LOVE this place! It's quaintness is a plus for me. There are no huge lines, no big crowds, but the coziness is only one reason to visit. The most important reason to visit is that the food is fantastic. In all my years of visiting, I have never had a single dish that wasn't delicious. I would love to be able to make that delicious pistachio salad at home!

    Tapas are usually smaller dishes. The idea is that you would order several different dishes for the table to share.

That thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons I was excited to try it. When we arrived, I was initially concerned after learning that the "G" on the menu indicated dishes **containing** gluten rather than being gluten-free. Since many menu items were marked with a "G," I worried my options would be very limited, especially for the unlimited brunch experience. Thankfully, our server, Emma, immediately put me at ease. She brought me the food allergy menu, answered my questions with patience, and made sure I understood what was safe for me to enjoy. While my husband and I were deciding whether to stay, the manager, Antonio, came to our table after Emma shared my dietary concerns. His kindness completely changed the experience. He took the time to explain my options, offered to have the kitchen modify several dishes, and reassured me that their goal was for me to feel safe and enjoy my meal. Thanks to Emma and Antonio, what started with uncertainty became one of the most enjoyable brunch experiences I've had. I was able to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes, the mimosas were a great value, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. What I'll remember most, though, is how genuinely cared for I felt. Before we left, Antonio stopped by one last time to make sure I was happy with my meal and that all of my needs had been met. My husband had put so much love and intention into choosing this restaurant, and thanks to Emma and Antonio, we both left with happy hearts and full bellies. If you have food intolerances or dietary restrictions, I hope this review gives you confidence to visit Ambar. Their team didn't just accommodate my needs. They made me feel welcome, respected, and cared for. That's the kind of hospitality that earns five stars from me.

We both ordered the mango habanero mimosa which was delicious. It wasn't too spicy or sweet. It had a good balance. For food we ordered a plethora of items. My favorite food item was the lamb kabob. It was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. All of their food was very tasty. It was a great experience overall. I really enjoyed the service and the ambiance. I suggest you check out Ambar if you are in the area. Cheers!

All the appetizers were excellent. The patè was presented nicely with accoutrements of fig jam, cornichon, macerated tomatoes and bread. The mussels were offered in a Thai curry sauce but we asked for another serving option due to an allergy concerns. They offered us a white wine and garlic option and we gladly took it. The mussels were cooked very well, the flavor was clean and mild but could have used stronger seasoning, The fried calamari was executed perfectly. It was crispy, tender, flavorful with zero greasiness. The garlic tomato aioli accompanied the dish well. We shared the beef medallions as our entree and a side of fries because I spotted a server carrying fish and chips and the steak fries style potatoes were speaking to me. The steak was tender and flavorful and the Demi glaze brought the dish together. The fries were crispy and salty and wonderful, I'm glad I was inspired. We saved room for dessert and chose churros and Dubai chocolate. Both were a great finish to our dining experience.

There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it.
