   Crowd pleasing dishes like gnocchi and scallops prepared expertly. The space is microscopic but the flavors were amazing.

   Ever been to a place where you want everything on the menu? This is that kind of place. You tend to forget its there, but it is perfect for taking a group, as I did when my family was in town for the holidays, or a business lunch. Just plan ahead, because it is super small and you don't want to be disappointed. Short, thoughtful menu and wine list. Great staff. Food is off the charts.

   I knew I wanted to go to Vienna for my birthday lunch because of their string of independent restaurants along Maple Avenue. I glanced at the menu online and figured this would be a winner for either lunch or happy hour. Didn't know what the place looked like until we arrived. Parking around back is extra tight but achievable. Space is intimate but open, with glass walls on three sides of dining room that must have no more than 15 tables (if that). Place looks like a former Tastee Freeze. Ironically we were greeted and waited upon by a former neighbor (can't guarantee that for anyone else) and her service was perfectly sublime (as I'm sure it'll be for you if you're lucky enough to get her). Food was great--pear salad, mushroom risotto, scallops, bread pudding--and the drinks were great, especially the white sangria made with moonshine. only thing that could have been improved upon was if there'd been a decoration or two (it was Christmas Eve) and music, which was delivered after we inquired about it. Big thumbs up, I look forward to catching that happy hour as the small plates look real good.

   Went to Maple Avenue after having dined in 3, 2 and 1 star Michelin restaurants. The presentation in this place is equal to David Toutain in Paris (1 star) and the food is equal to any one star. Highly recommend!

   The menu is imaginative and the food well prepared. We would go back, but probably for small plates or dessert, and a glass of wine, at an off hour as the restaurant is very small (making it hard to get a reservation at dinner time even on a weeknight) and is very close to the Maple Avenue traffic. The size of the restaurant is probably why the prices seem just a tad high. The choice of entrees is very limited, but there are quite a few small plates. The place feels fairly private considering the location and large front windows. The portions are adequate. Our server was terrific.

   Though not much to look at on the outside, what is amazing is the food. Absolutely incredible!

   We really enjoyed our breakfast at Maple Avenue. The food was delicious and the presentation was also nice. The tasting for breakfast was perfect, we were able to try so many dishes and had so many different flavors, my taste buds were happy. I would say the restaurant needs a face lift, I love the idea of a small nook in Vienna, but it really could use a new look, it does not complement the food. Service was great and while I thought I might not have enough to eat, I was very mistaken. More than enough! Thank You.!!

    Really good food, weather you choose a bunch of the small plates to share or go for a main. You really can't go wrong. My table (lunch) chose to do the combo of everyone choosing a side or dessert to share and a main. Best way to taste more of a good thing. The small plate okra is really surprising, in a good way. The bread pudding was firm and filled with warm melting chocolate. Enjoy!
