    We really enjoyed our diner at Maya. I had beef stew which was delicious. My husband had trout and really enjoyed it. The service was prompt and the server was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend.

    When everyone at your table is trying to decide which part of their meals they loved best (apps, entrees, sides) you know the food was amazing!

    Went for Monday happy hour & had a wonderful experience dining. We both had the 20$ special and were amazed by how beautiful the presentation was & the taste. I’ve never had a lentil portobello cake & it was delicious! Saved room for peanut butter pie . It was the perfect ending to a gourmet evening !
