Maple Shade Restaurants

It’s been at least 2 1/2 years since I’ve been to the Harvest and as usual my meal was great. I ordered the Peruvian Chicken. The chicken and vegetables were perfectly cooked. It was tender, juicy, and well but not over the top seasoned. The restaurant is small (146 occupancy) dark wood and brick decor. They had a live singer. There is also a bar. My desert was delicious and served in a double size shot glass. Most of all the menu is not only seasonal it also has something for everyone (vegan, vegetarian, meat eaters)! I recommend this restaurant. The staff I encountered were accommodating and apologetic because we had a lil wait. The waitress was knowledgeable and checked on us in a timely fashion.

We were warmly greeted and immediately seated in a booth. The booth was a little tight. But, the ambiance and decor were sophisticated. Jazz, our server, was exceptionally personable and proficient. She made recommendations for drinks and entrees. The food was delicious. The branzino was a little dry, needed a sauce. Overall, good, though. The drinks were amazing! The Golden Hour was 24kt gold!! I LOVED that the table was pre-decorated with a Birthday card and confetti. The dessert sampling was MUCH appreciated and sweet!! I look forward to dining again, very soon!

I haven't been to a Melting Pot restaurant for about 10 years now; however, it will always hold a special place for me. It is not just about the food, but it's about the experience as well. I liken this to Korean barbeque, the concept is the same - and I enjoy that concept. Today was a special day, it was my birthday, and it was my pick for a restaurant. I was excited and looking forward to our reservation. We had a great server, she was attentive, helpful, friendly, and it was only her first day on the job. However, there were a few things that irritated me and soured the dinner. First, my husband and I were the first two people in the restaurant for our 5 o'clock reservation. The next set of people, a party of 3, were seated to the right of us. Next a party of 2 were seated to left of us. Why so close? You have the whole restaurant. We were divided by a partition, but we were immersed in their conversation, not in a good way. They were just loud talkers. However, I was made more irritated when a server, then another server, then a manager, and another manager all descended upon the table. Apparently, the two individuals seated were employees and there was always someone talking with them. Of course, seeing one woman for almost the whole length of my dinner standing out of my peripheral the whole time was not enjoyable. I want to also point out, when a manager came to ask her a question and yes, I knew he was asking her a question because he was so close I overheard him, she shot him a look. He then asked, would you like me to use sign language to ask you that question; and I quote, she said, "I have some sign language for you!" Seriously, the one hour and fifteen minutes we were at the restaurant - 40 minutes of that time, a table of two turned into a table of 4, sometimes a table of 5 people, not including their server. Who were all standing around the table and could be seen above our partition. Overall, I kept asking myself....Why?

Great service from Derek!

I met a friend for brunch on NY year day. She loves your food, especially sushi. I cannot eat sushi, and I was able to get shrimp,habichi, which were excellent. In fact, it was a little much food, so I had take- out for the next day. Waiter was very helpful; service was fast and hot. I am sure we will be back soon.
