    We were greeted by a polite gentleman and were seated quickly. Our waiter, George, was polite and very informative with the menu. Started with fried calamari. The best I’ve had by far. I had the Friday prime rib special. The meal was spectacular. Meat was cooked to order. Mashed potatoes were buttery smooth. The asparagus was crunchy and seasoned well. My husband had the braised ribs with mashed potatoes. Ribs were tender off the bone. Bbq sauce was slightly sweet and savory. He topped his meal off with a lemon drop cocktail, an old fashion whiskey, and an Irish mule. All were excellent drinks. We ended the night with a delicious slice of key lime pie. This was a dessert pleaser. Smooth and silky filling with whip cream and perfectly baked crust. I was pleasantly surprised by our waiter when he gave me a little berry and granola crumble for my bday celebration. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Our first time there and definitely won’t be our last. This restaurant left a great impression for us.

    Great Maple is exceptional. The menu is amazing; the food is superb; the service is outstanding. It is a popular busy place, so please do make reservations. The parking lot is small, and street parking is challenging. Consider taking a ride share to and from. Highly recommend!

    I had the basic two egg breakfast with chicken sausage and found everything cooked to perfection and delicious. We had a 12:30 p.m. reservation on a Sunday, the place was packed, yet we were seated right on time. Service was perfect, with food delivered hot. Highly recommended, but be sure to plan well by making your reservation a couple of days in advance to get the time slot you desire.

    We have been here multiple times and try to order something new every time. Tonight we ordered the face open Wagu burger and my husband ordered the fish tacos, because it was a Friday. We made one of the later reservations (8:15pm), because work ran longer than normal, but still the same 5 Star delicious food and attentive service. Thank you Sabria!! This restaurant NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! And parking was much easier to find at that time of the night.

    We’ve been coming to great maple for 7 years, now for the Friday night prime rib special. All this time later, it still hasn’t disappointed once!

    It’s just a great place. Can get noisy when crowded. Food is stellar and our server was great. She really took care of us.
