Amazing southern style food with beautiful ambience and interior. Came here before a show at the Orpheum. It was Christmas time and they had holiday themed cocktails that came in Christmas mugs and glasses. Service was excellent! Will come back again.

We had a really nice experience here. The set up is unique with the bar downstairs and our bartender Haley (sp?) was super friendly and helpful with her recs for the restaurant. The food was really delicious which we actually didn’t expect given the overall theme of the restaurant and complex. We’ll definitely come back here. Oh and the images projected on the exterior of the building are really fun, especially when you catch them on your way out!

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.
