   Fabulous food! Wow - look forward to returning. Had the drum fish, oyster app and octopus app was outstanding. They started us with a complimentary starter that was mouthwatering! Definitely top of my list to return while in NOLA. Great server!

   The food is very good. Definitely one of those places with high ingredients, smaller portions. Price point is a little bit high. I am gluten free and they were very accommodating with that. I do wish they had a gluten free bread/roti appetizer option.

   The setting is nice and quiet, with plenty of space between tables. Our server, Grayson, was excellent. He gave us the right amount of attention. More importantly, he offered valuable comments on the menu items. We thought that our meal items were unique, tasty and attractively presented. There were enough items on the menu to suit our needs.

   Did the 5 course tasting menu with the wine pairing and I was underwhelmed. Several of the courses had some form of nuts that overwhelmed the course. It’s okay to have a peanut curry but you don’t need to add on top of that an extra number of peanuts and peanuts that were not even crushed. Favorite dish was the pasta with green curry truffle sauce which had the right amount of pistachios which was a few. Least favorite was the ribeye as it was chewy and the garnish was way too sweet. Could have been sweet and spicy but it was just sweet and not as flavorful.

    We have been to Maypop multiple times and have always enjoyed the creative food and dining experience. Unfortunately, last night things were different. We had a 7:45 dinner reservation, but didn’t arrive until 8:00 due to parking difficulty. The person who greeted us advised it was not a problem. Another staff person comes along and proceeds to seat us at a table in bar area, next to hostess podium and right by front door (the worst table in the place). We advised the staff person we weren’t going to accept that table. She then tells us we can dine at bar or counter in bar area. We proceed to sit at the counter and after doing so, noticed 3 to 4 available tables in dining room. Unsure about the reservation status of those tables, we decided not to say anything. About 30 minutes later, we noticed the tables were still available and they stayed available throughout our dinner. It became clear there was no reason we couldn’t have been seated in dining room, especially since we had a reservation. We were treated like two people who walked in off the street with no reservation, and they had to place us in bar area because they had no tables. This was clearly not the case. I planned to question the person who seated us right before we left, but she was no where to be found. In hindsight, I should have asked to speak with the manager. It’s very disappointing when you’re a repeat customer with a reservation and you end up having a $300 dinner at a counter in bar, when there was available seating in dining room. Additionally, while food was good, it wasn’t great like it has been in the past and service was also not as good as it has been in the past. However, deliberately not seating us in the dining room for no reason was discourteous and impacted the dining experience. As another recent review mentioned, things seem to be slipping at Maypop which is sad. Needless to say, we won’t be making the long drive from the Northshore to go back anytime soon.
