    Our server was absolutely wonderful as we had three kiddos, and she was quick to get their order as well as our drinks. Food was great for my husband and I, but only subpar for kiddos, which sort of stands to reason. Drinks were fine, nothing too fancy but refreshing on a hot day.

    Delicious food and great service. The fried oysters, rockfish, shaved Brussel sprouts and whipped potatoes were amazing. This is our 2nd time dining at Maya when we visit Charlottesville. We will dine again the next time.

    Parking is a problem. Parking on the street is impossible. Parking in the railroad station is difficult, expensive and time consuming. This is a limitation that will keep me from going to that restaurant again, despite it being a great restaurant.

    I’m never disappointed at Maya. I’ve had the trout in caper butter, which was outstanding and the fried oysters, which were better than any I’ve ever had. Make sure you try the carrot appetizer.

    We sat in the bar. Don't let them seat you in the back room.... No ambiance! The food was truly outstanding. We had the heirloom carrot appetizer which excellent. My wife had the chicken breast with ham gravy and I had the risotto. They were both really well prepared and beautifully presented. Going back tomorrow night!
