Maude

"We like to try Michelin Starred restaurants when we’re on vacation and this was our favorite place, so far. We were pleasantly surprised with every tasting and some dishes really knocked it out of the park. I would describe each dish but it’s a changing menu so it wouldn’t be helpful here. I can say that every dish was prepared perfectly, delicately flavorful over the top and most of all delicious. The staff worked together as a team, serving our dishes in sync; they were very informative and expertly described each dish as it was served. I’ve been a fan of Curtis’s for a very long time and he just happened to be there enjoying a meal with his family, which was very exciting for me. I wanted so badly to act like a tourist & fan & ask for his autograph, but it seemed like it wasn’t the right thing to do, at the time, so I respectfully let them have their meal in peace. I’ve seen his current works on PBS; Field Trip With Relish. He has a special gift of portraying the wonderful feelings of traveling and discovering the local foods in whatever region he’s visiting. I felt that way eating at his restaurant, like being transported through food, to this region. I’d love to be at on of those dinners, Ooh La La! Thank you Curtis for all your creations…We ❤️ Maude. THE BEST EVER❣️"

"Five stars aren't enough to capture the exquisite experience at Maude. The tasting menu was a culinary journey that tantalized the taste buds at every turn. The limited seating made the atmosphere feel incredibly intimate and special, as if we were part of an exclusive club. But what set Maude apart was the innovative touch of serving dessert in a completely different area. This not only reset our palate but also reignited our sense of excitement and adventure for the meal. From start to finish, dining at Maude was nothing short of magical. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly extraordinary dining experience."

"Outstanding fine dining in a laid back setting. The food quality and chef's technique are top tier. The staff is very attentive and friendly, it feels like a less formal version of the French Laundry. The atmosphere is intimate and well done."

"Amazing experience! The food was super fresh and some ingredients were directly plucked from the flower in front of me. The pigeon was to die for and the abalone was the best abalone I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. For dessert you go to a different room which had a very different ambience. Loved the creativity of all the different foods. Would definitely come again to try out another tasting menu in the future!"

"Expectations were high for Maude and I have to say they delivered in pretty much every way that counted. If I'm going to nitpick, restaurant is small, lighting darker than I'd like but the main reason you're here, the food, it was mostly excellent. Across as many courses as there were, naturally there will be favorites and some less so but quality of ingredients, attention to detail with the presentation and how the dishes were put together, all top notch. Please do your due diligence, this is a Michelin starred fine dining establishment and the pricing is in line with similar restaurants. The meal, not counting dessert is 9 courses and if you're worried you may be left wanting for more at the end like I did, I assure you that you'll be more than satisfied by the time the last dessert is served, yes, I said last, there is more than one dessert course. Overall I would highly recommend going. Plan in advance, reservations can be weeks out if not longer. Enjoy the pictures."
