Maple Ave - Vienna

I had an excellent meal at a relaxed pace. The portion sizes are smaller than what you might expect in American restaurants. I want to emphasize that if you're very hungry or pressed for time, this place may not be the best choice. However, if you can take your time and savor the food, you'll have a wonderful dining experience. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 4.

I’ve never been a fan of okra, but the caramelized okra served with a yogurt dill sauce was simply fantastic! The outside was crispy while the inside remained juicy, and each bite was infused with a hint of dill — remarkably tasty! Typically, okra isn't cooked to my liking, but I will definitely be ordering this dish again. My husband was a huge fan of it as well. For the main course, I enjoyed the almond and ricotta pancakes paired with applewood smoked bacon and seasoned potatoes — it’s my favorite! These pancakes are, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had. They came with a light dusting of powdered sugar and just the right amount of butter and syrup. They practically melted in my mouth! The bits of almond added a lovely, rich texture while maintaining their light, fluffy feel. They were delicious and indulgent. My husband raved about the potatoes, claiming they were better than perfect, and he's certainly had his share of potatoes. They made a superb complement to the pancakes, providing a crunchy, crispy contrast to the soft, airy pancake — a delightful combination of salty and sweet. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff is very polite, helpful, and accommodating. You can easily notify them of any allergies. This is truly one of the best places to enjoy an incredible meal! We also indulged in the Lithuanian donut holes, which were a fantastic treat. My daughter and I loved them! They were served with a dollop of vanilla bean ice cream and each donut was positioned on a scoop of Nutella. The combination of the warm, fried doughnut and the cold, creamy ice cream was absolutely amazing — a perfect harmony of flavors. We adore this place and definitely plan on returning. As for parking, there are usually spots available along the side.

Good was interesting, delicious, and different. Prices were reasonable, cocktails tasty, service welcoming and attentive. The dining room is on the smaller side with only a few tables making for an intimate experience. This can make it challenging to get a table. I had some trouble getting Resy to allow me to search for a day other than today, and ended up calling the restaurant. I was able to get in for brunch. I've been trying to get a table for dinner for a few days and so far no luck getting their online reservation through Resy to say anything other than there are no tables. Parking: There is some parking but be mindful how and where you park as when the lot is full it can be very difficult to maneuver. My advice is just to be patient.
