    Its my favorite restaurant. The staff is kind and attentive. The ambiance is what traditional Mexican restaurants WANT to be. The food is superb without being pretentious or over the top. If I'm in the area and have time, I'm going.

    I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!

    Food and service was great. The interior is beautiful and well designed but it's a bit noisy, it seemed we had to speak loud to hear each other.
