    Service was slow and somewhat inattentive. We have been there several times but this time the salmon was too salty and the swordfish was very fishy. Salad was boring and Chocolate cake was very dry

    Three course prix fixe menu prior to Speaker Series at PAC. Nice variety of items on the menu, all well prepared. However, considering the limited menu, the service is very slow.

    Very courteous and friendly service from beginning to end. Food was outstanding! I had stuffed salmon served with mashed potatoes and a variety of mixed vegetables. My date had lamb with polenta and broccoli. We shared strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Presentation was nicely done. Everything was delicious. Servings were generous and prices were reasonable. Atmosphere was very nice and music played was contemporary smooth jazz which happens to be my favorite. Would definitely recommend and return to dine at Maize again.

    Food was just sub par in every way, it felt like assembly line buffet food. I would never recommend this restaurant unfortunately.

    A bit pricey, but it was available (unlike Nico's) on short notice before a show at NJPAC. Food was good, the house wines are reasonably priced. Although this did not apply to us, there are no vegetarian options in the main courses - vegetarians would have to double up on a limited number of options from the starters. The night we were there most recently it was a bit noisy (although there were not many diners) due to an excited crowd at the bar.

    Our entrees were excellent, especially the seafoods. The wine list offers great variety at reasonable prices, the wine we chose lived up to their description on their wine menu. And the waiter was perfectly competent in recommending menu components to meet my garlic intolerance needs.

    Usually I find Maize better than I did this time. I ordered a clam linguini with shrimp, scallops, and garlic. Flavor of everything but the shrimp was fine. The shrimp seemed to have been frozen and then overcooked and had almost no taste.
