I took my daughter and her friends for a birthday dinner during a busy college weekend in Charlottesville. Fortunately, I made a reservation ahead of time. Every dish that was ordered was delicious, but the best part of our dinner was our service. Joyce took care of us that evening; she was fun, attentive, and made us feel like we were the most important people in the restaurant. If you go to Maya or make a reservation, try to get in her area—she's the best.

Paul and Mary were personable and made me feel right at home. The food was delicious. Glad I splurged on the peanut butter fluff cake!
Peter
We are local but hadn't been to Maya in many years. Glad we tried it again, as the food was great. Not a fancy place, but solid and decent value.
Elissa
Waitress was very attentive food was plentiful though fish had high sodium. The beef and vegetable soup was a meal in itself and delicious.

This was our first visit and we will return. We live 120 miles away and come to Charlottesville to shop and then have dinner. We were very happy with our choice of Maya. The Trout was excellent. My pork chop was cooked too well done for my taste, but otherwise tasted excellent. The room we sat in was small and relatively quiet until a party of 12 came and ... We will return!!

My husband and I ate indoors at the bar area in a booth. The drinks were very refreshing and good. The menu was very interesting. My husband enjoyed his steak and I had a delicious salad. I had a peanut butter fluff pie dessert, and it was delicious. Service was great.

Our waitress was Erin aka Mushroom and she was fantastic. She took great care of us, was knowledgeable of the menu, and had a great attitude. We had the NY Strip and the Pork chop. Both were delicious. The only complaint is that initially there are no paper menus, only digital, which to me is no longer necessary and takes away the whole point of going out to eat which is to engage with other people.

Excellent food and highly professional staff. Our OpenTable profile requests low salt, which is usually dutifully noted by restaurants and then not much happens. The head staff at Maya also noted the request, but made sure our ordered items really had the minimum levels of salt. Not an easy accomplishment in many eating places and we really appreciated the difference. And..... the food and drinks were still delicious. Highly recommend.
Our meal was delicious from the appetizers and cocktails all the way to dessert. Blackened catfish is a must. Janice, our server, was attentive and spot on. What a fun night!

- good food: I had a nicely flavored steak and everyone else had good tasting fish - staff unwelcoming upon arrival - waitress attentive - staff could use coaching on table etiquette - good basic meal The students with us were thrilled with their meals

I was a little concerned booking at Maya when it had availability on Sat night (Sep 13) while most others nearby did not. Maybe because the menu is not extensive, especially if you don't order fish. Concerns disappeared quickly. It was fantastic. Wife and daughter loved the chicken and their sides. Pork chop was fantastic - not at all dry which you often see and an amazing glaze. Fun, diverse drink menu, good apps, and solid desserts. Will def be going back there.

Delicious food served in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Portions were sizable. I hate leaving a restaurant hungry, and this did not disappoint. I ordered the mushroom lentil cakes with sides of Brussels sprouts and corn bread. All were tasty although I wished they had served the corn bread warm. My wife thought her flounder was both fresh and delicious. She shared her string beans and broccoli with me which were a bit salty but still good. The check came back wonderfully reasonable! All in all, good food at a very reasonable price.
