Spot on as usual. Perfect service, excellent cocktails and delicious food.

Food was delicious, as always. Covid precautions were in place — all servers wore masks, no-touch menus, even large fans on the patio in the corners. I went with a friend, and we got a 4-top, so we could sit diagonally from each other, increasing our distance. I didn’t request it, but felt lucky! Well done, Maya!

Always excellent and great provisions for social distancing and safety on their terrace.

I went to Maya's on a weeknight during the pandemic. Tables were spread out, and people were wearing masks when not at the tables. The ambiance was low key and friendly. I went full on southern and ordered the trout with collards and cheddar grits. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. I haven't had such a perfect meal in ages. My husband ordered 4 sides instead of a main course because he couldn't decide which sides to choose since they all sounded so interesting. The cocktails also were exceptional. Margaritas with real lime juice rather than a mix. Good quality spirits. I would definitely return to Maya's and highly recommend it.

Must not miss the pimento fritters or the fried green tomatoes. I’ll be dreaming of them!

We had a good time. Southern-style food was great. Would definitely go back. Actual table service was friendly. Good value for high-end comfort food.

Maya still needs to work out the details of its greeting and traffic patterns during COVID. More signs around the patio would help. It was oddly stressful to figure out how to check in and get to and from the restrooms.

Due to Covid, all seating was outside but it’s covered so inclement weather not an issue and there are about 12-14 tables so adequate space. Ambience so-so since you are facing the street and it’s the main drag in Charlottesville. I don’t know how it would be to sit inside.

We were looking for authentic southern fare and Maya did not disappoint. The pimento cheese fritters were fabulous as were the crab cakes. You get two sides with each entree and we chose the veggies, Brussel sprouts, corn pudding and cheddar biscuit. All were excellent but the sautéed veggies were the real standout.

We would go back.

The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor patio that is well spaced out to comply with COVID restrictions. We had a enjoyable evening.

A bit overpriced. 123456780012345778901234567890

Honestly this restaurant was very overpriced for the food it offered. I got a 30 dollar steak that honestly should have been priced at 20 dollars. The service was a bit subpar as I felt other tables were attended to more than ours. The Mac and cheese was very good as was the pimento cheese fritters but overall the food was nothing to write home about. I probably would not come here again.

Great food , cocktails, and service.

Very good considering the new world we are living in. They take Covid seriously and have all the protections that are recommended.

Did a great job with social distancing. Good was quite tasty and service very good. Would go again!

Boyfriends birthday

Nice dinner spent with colleagues. Appetizers and entrées were excellent and appropriately sized. Service was good; notable in these times of COVID induced stress. Although I only ordered one drink-a Negroni- it was expertly prepared and worthy of mention. The Negroni has been my goto drink for the last 2 decades and I’ve only had a few that were done perfect, one of which was in Milan. Special shout out to the bartender: Thank you- well done!

the food is always terrific and they make interesting dishes that I wouldn't necessarily be able to make at home - so it feels festive. the service is great - especially Ted the bartender!! we go to Maya probably 1x/week we like it so much!

The food was great! Highly recommend!

Loved the food and drinks and our server Hillary! Thank you!

People were very nice. They were very concerned for our safety. The menu was interesting but in the end the food was nothing special.

Lovely evening on the patio during COVID-19. My local trout with lemon and capers was perfectly prepared ! Brussel sprouts with bacon are to die for ... Wait staff all very respectful maintaining face coverings during service.

All of our dishes were fantastic - delicious southern food but not too heavy. Will definitely come back!

I was really impressed with Maya’s customer service during a pandemic. Very clear directions when it comes to etiquette (wear a mask when interacting with staff!) and QR codes for menus. The food was top notch to boot—southern delicacies with some unique spins. Loved it!

Katie went above and beyond to make our special evening even more special! Wonderful service! Pimento cheese fritters are the best starter! The staff is just wonderful! Can’t wait for our next date night at Maya!

The food at Maya is excellent. Fresh offerings fixed in healthy and delicious manner. Even with the limits imposed by COVID-19, the menu had a wide variety of choices. Our group of 4 had hors d’oeuvres, entrees, and wine. All different and all wonderful. Also, quite plentiful.
The outdoor seating area and procedures implemented to adhere to current state guidelines for restaurants was well done. We felt safe as well as comfortable eating there. This was not our first visit. We will definitely go again when we visit the area.

We had a very delicious and amazing, socially distanced, meal tonight for our anniversary. They have great protocols in place to make you feel safe during this time that we are in, and the food and service were excellent as usual. Make sure to get the fried green tomatoes, and definitely save room for the peanut butter fluff pie!

While visiting Charlottesville for a few nights we picked Maya for a Southern inspired meal. Reservations are required for outdoor patio dining during Covid. Bring your phone to scan the QR code to view their menu to support contactless interaction. Tables were distanced appropriately, service was reasonably timely and friendly. They have a decent cocktail menu, drinks lean towards gin and vodka but they have a full bar and can make the cocktail of your preference. The highlight of the dinner was both the ribs and trout; they were very well prepared. There is a nice selection of sides, the collard greens and cheddar biscuits were quite good. For dessert, we enjoyed the key lime pie.

The best food!! They did a great job enforcing COVID-19 rules and regulations.

Many venues are having a hard time accommodating with the virus. We felt Maya did an outstanding job to make sure everyone felt safe and the service did not suffer at all from the new processes. Food was fabulous. We will be back next time we are in town!

Felt rushed from the moment we arrived. We understand seating is limited at the moment but seriously let me sit down first. Food quality to value is not there. $27 crabcakes using only claw meat is ridiculous.

The food is outstanding and its safety precautions are top notch. It was very clean and everyone was masked and social distanced. They made the patio a cozy but safe environment. You will need a reservation any night but it’s worth it!

Appreciated the reserved outdoor seating and protocols in place during these trying times. Server could have been a little more energetic and cheerful. Overall, food was really tasty, with only one of our five dining having a sub-par meal (Oysters were bland, with only the cornmeal taste coming through). Too note on price remark, we were from out of town so these may be in-line with proportions/$ in the area, just not ours. That said, would definitely try again if in town for an extended period.

The food was really great but service was not so great. I highly suggest the grits and the chicken fried Chicken. The restaurant had a nice ambience. Unfortunately we waited a while between courses because the waitress just didn’t show up that much.

The food is absolutely exquisite—the pimento cheese balls were top-notch and the fried catfish prepared perfectly. However, the true star of the meal was...the broccoli. Tender and seasoned to perfection.

Our server was delightful. She was enthusiastic about the menu. Food was creative and delicious. Highly recommend. Restaurant did a great job of outdoor dining.

fantastic service and food. We ate in the covered outdoor patio due to covid. The only downside were the persistent flies that wanted the honey for my cornbread. If you have the opportunity to go, do so, just down order the honey!

Our waitress was AMAZING and her energy was beyond lovely I believe her name was Lisa - she made the experience even better. Food, atmosphere, service ON POINT!

Great food and a great menu for both food and drinks.

Food and atmosphere were unbelievable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for up scale healthy American cuisine in Cville

It was a delight to enjoy our first meal at a restaurant in months (due to the pandemic). Maya made the experience very nice, to the point where you wouldn't even think they were operating under social-distancing rules. The food was excellent, and the service was quite good as well - attentive, cordial, but not obtrusive (the last of which can sometimes be a problem at restaurants in the US). We absolutely would recommend Maya to a friend.

We went for my birthday, food was delicious and the service was prompt and courteous. Fun cocktails, the Reese’s Martini was a surprising hit.
