    The meat was overcooked. Restaurant was a little drafty. We were looking for more of a cozy. Romantic vibe which was not really the ambiance. Friendly staff.

    We had dinner in a booth by the bar. I have no idea what the upstairs dining room is like. We each started with a cocktail. They gave an extensive and creative list of cocktails. We shared the cornmeal crusted fried oysters. They were fresh and very tender, fried to a crispy perfection. Tcornmeal breading was not too heavy. A great start. My wife had the baby back pork ribs and I had the bone-in pork chop, both were delicious and loaded with flavor. They have an extensive selection of sides that are freshly prepared, definitely not an afterthought. We were visiting C-ville but if we lived there, Maya would be a regular stop for us.

    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.

    My husband and I had come down to Charlottesville from DC and absolutely loved everything we had! Our table looked like a buffet, we just couldn’t decide on one thing. We also had incredible service! (Do not remember her name, she had glasses and was working 12/23). Will be back when in the area!

    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!
