Went to Red Maple for my anniversary and had a wonderful experience dining there. The food was delicious and they brought it hot. The steak was very well seasoned and juicy. The Mahi Mahi had great flavor and the sides were good too. The onions rings was hot and fresh and it was a big portion for appetizer. The restaurant had a nice ambience and it was very clean. Had good service, very attentive. Had a great time. I would definitely come to this restaurant again.

Top notch. No frills from the plating experience; a lot of dry parsley to offset the colors on all dishes we received. This wasn’t very original but everything we ordered was perfectly cooked. The service was exceptional, the server made for an outstanding experience, overall. 9/10 for sure.

Wife and I went on a date here. Wonderful atmosphere, great decorations that set a very romantic mood. The drinks were great. No drink menu, but the bartender can make anything as long as you explain what’s in it. Food was hot and delicious. Highly recommend.

I was reluctant to make reservations given a few of the reviews. I invited several guests to thank them for their support. The place is tucked away in a nice spot right off of the Westbank Expressway. The restaurant has a lovely entrance way. When I arrived I was greeted warmly. The restaurant is clean and has a wonderful, cozy feel. I love the layout of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive and respectful. The food was delicious! The shrimp was a little too salty for my taste, but that is because I watch my sodium intake. Everyone else at my table said the appetizers, the Thai shrimp and the spinach and artichoke dish were awesome. The resfish was delicious, the crab and shrimp salads were ample and fresh tasting, and the fried shrimp, catfish, and fries were amazing and well seasoned. I will reserve another dinner at the Red Maple. Thank you for a nice evening meal!

We were part of a group that had lunch together. There were about 20 of us. The waitress took very good care of the whole table. Food was delicious and quite ample. Great experience. Try it!!

A lovely spot! Atmosphere couldn’t have been better. Food and service were excellent. Met the owner and he graciously gave us a tour & history of the restaurant. Carol is a gracious hostess & Julian was our perfect waiter. 10/10 all around!

We ended up ordering some of the more expensive things on the menu (even though it was our first time there). But it definitely paid off! It was the best meal we had in a while. We’ll definitely be back here.

We were looking for a place to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Landed on red maple for the attractive menu. So we had mentioned it was our anniversary and our server wished us a happy anniversary and that was sweet. Let’s talk about our server Bradley. He was fantabulous!! I proposed before appetizers came out, she said yes, and Bradley took us outside to take pics. He made sure the food came out ready after the pics. He went above and beyond and enhanced our night with his amazing service. The food was amazing, boudin eggrolls, 18 oz perfectly cooked steak, green beans, asparagus and the most delicious bread pudding with coffee. We will always be grateful to the The Red Maple Restaurant! Thank you ❤️

While I liked the environment and the staff was kind and engaging, I was disappointed with the food. It was prompt, but it didn’t blow my skirt up. Good, but not awesome. That said, I’ll try them again. Now, my company, on the other hand, was incredible.
