    Great experience! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Avocado Egg Rolls, a Smokehouse Burger, and the Cherry Chipotle Glazed Salmon. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The only downside was the horrendous parking situation at the mall. That’s what we get for dining out a few days before Christmas. Lol.

    Overall good - however, the server was serving too many tables and therefore we did not get the service from Sean as we deserved as paying customers. In fact, we waited for over 10 minutes to get silverware for the table, finally I got up and went to the kitchen to pick the forks and knives for the table - so there is an opportunity for improvement.

    Great location. Our Brisket topped salad and brisket tacos were excellent. The coconut shrimp starter was unadorned. Looking around kitchen seemed to have issues with timing. Service was spotty. Great location before game/event.

    Maple Block is the best - really great Texas-style barbecue (i.e., beef, not pork -- Texas, Oklahoma and the Santa Maria region of CA concentrate on beef barbecue, whereas the rest of the south concentrates on port). They have nightly specials (try to rotisserie chicken) and theme nights - e.g. "Steak and Martini Night" which is what we went to on Friday. The staff is really friendly and the food is delicious!! Full bar, and very creative cocktails.

    We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.
