Ordered a Thanksgiving meal like I do every year this year the price was double and the portion was half the size a glass of champagne which at other places is normally five dollars this place charged me $14. Because you can buy the bottle for 6.50$. The waitress overcharged me for a salad that should’ve been included, but I said it’s OK. I never got any gravy or any roll that was supposed to come with. It portion was very small. Turkey was very dry. Bad experience will never go back again. My total bill came out to be almost $80 with a tip which I should not have left, but I never do that. This will never go back.

GREAT PLACE--- Nice draft beer selection. From the outside you can't tell how cool this place is. The prices are are more on the higher side. But, you can find appetizers that are reasonable. On Thursday nights starting at 7pm, they have a live band playing Jazz. Really fun and local people sing. It's not karaoke though, so if someone wants to sing they have to sing well.

The food was excellent, staff were friendly and very attentive making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. I drove past this place numerous times for several years and I regret not giving it a try along time ago. I will be returning soon!

Worst customer service. They didnt offer nothing to drink. We waited for almost 35 min. We felt judge by the color of our skin. The waiter constantly said he would bring a chair for me and my father who is 67 years of age to sit down, but kept attending other tables. Very bad experience! We decide to leave after they didnt bother to attend to us.

We thought we would give them one more chance to redeem themselves because for the last 3 visits its have been bad and also because it was my Parents favorite place for years. So we made reservations for today a month ago, went with there anniversary special the tomahawk for two. It was really grizzly and fatty my dog appreciated the bone.Unfortunately we will not go back again. Its sad because this place used to be awesome but with all the Owner changes its just not the same anymore 😒

We ate here years ago, from my recollection the ribeye I ordered was cooked perfectly. All the side were good as well. Atmosphere inside the restaurant is timeless 1950's. Highly recommended.

I have been going to eat at Cafe La Maze for 50 years at least. It has always had the best prime rib... I was there a couple of weeks ago and ordered a prime rib French dip sandwich medium rare. It was the first time I ever ate a tough piece of beef on their premises. I'm going to try it again in a week. If it's tough again, I won't be going back under their new ownership. And for some reason there was only one waitress, and the service was so slow, not her fault! Just terrible management!
It took hours to get out of there.
They'd better shape up or they're going to lose their long history of great food and service.

Asked for medium, stack was undercooked. Couldn't till because of the darkness in the room.

Took 45 minutes to get our main course.

Waitress was the only bright spot.

Overall, not worth spending our hard earned money.

If I knew it was this bad, I would of gone to Denny's.πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž Overpriced 😫😫😫😫😫😭😭😭😭😭😭

Music night as labeled, don't ask me how knew but at 7 was supposed to rockin jazz, brown nosing older lead singers not that well. Too small of a space for the music they tried to play on us however I had a no buject to want risk a drink besides water in these tripidora times and even that that atmosphere of music. But yes usually la maze big a godded place to go with red apolstrery spacious tables. I've met servers and cooks, great non que serah. Temp runner for president, especially more if I someone with 10k to my caned campaign. Please.

Would like to take the time to say an honest review, 1. And foremost if you love and enjoy quality food. This is the place.
2. Prompt service, once seaterd I needed nothing; warm bread and butter (delicious) started and sides out shortly after!
3. Unlike a chain restaurant no offense; I was asked upon serving, if my steak was to my liking (huge) and yes it was. Thank you la maze for now multiple experiences and dishes.
