    I soooo wanted to love this restaurant!! i have not idea how it got the reviews it did. I mean, the reviews have been great, the decor is nice, there is parking available....what more could one want? Good food, a noise level that you can talk to your tablemates and excellent service...that's what I wanted. Unfortunately, I didn't get any of that. On top of the ridiculous high noise level, they actually turned on music about 20 min after we got seated. That just put it over the top. We couldn't even talk to each other at a small table without yelling...which is what everyone else was doing too. The food was mediocre. I asked the waitress for a recommendation, and she said, the chix salad was awesome. I am not sure how in the world she thought that. It was lettuce, some chix that looked like it came from Costco (not knocking Costco chix, just not what I expect when at a restaurant), a few pieces of corn and tomatoes, tortilla chips from a bag I buy at the store and non-distinct dressing. And my table mates didn't think much of their dishes either. One ordered eggs and sausage and she really struggled cutting the sausage that she almost gave up. Very tasteless they said. And presentation of the food was lackluster too. Oh well....on to finding another place to a meet with friends and enjoy a meal.

    It was exceptionally loud making it difficult to carry on a conversation. Food was quite good but served barely warm. There are some very interesting items in the menu I’d like to try so I’ll definitely make another visit.

    Noise level was higher than I've experienced in the past, probably because it was Saturday. Food was excellent, as usual. The four of us had four different lunches and everyone was pleased. The service was particularly good, thanks to Evan.

    I’ve eaten here twice and I didn’t care for it either time. Mother’s Day brunch two years ago - the English muffin on the Benedict was so hard that the knife would not go through. The second time was a few days ago. Chilaquiles were dry and the ingredients didn’t mix well. It tasted very “deconstructed.” The donuts were nothing special. I won’t be back.

    I am so sorry to report a miss at Great Maple. My sangria delicious. My hubby’s Bacon Old Fashion was great. Our garlic truffle fries tasty. But our mains were a miss. I ordered the roasted vegetable bowl with salmon. The vegetables were onion, pepper and some mushrooms and were gray meaning more steamed than roasted. The salmon was off. My hubby’s Caesar with salmon had similar issues. Salmon off. Salad a miss. Our waiter was friendly and prompt and I appreciated his service. But I’ll think twice before returning.

    Food was cold, waited about 1 hour total for our food to come to our table. Every single person in our group was so disappointed with the food, how cold it was, and how long it took. Some of us even drove closer to 2 hrs to be here. We rarely saw our waiter and when he did come he would then disappear for a good amount of time. We looked around and around for our waiter to ask for our food. When we were once told our food would be coming we still waited about 20 mins. Other people came in after us but for some reason were already eating, it felt weird that we were getting the service we got. Very sad and disappointment.

    We had a great experience! I loved the chicken bowl-great! Wife had the taco salad-said it wasn’t her favorite….not much chicken in it 🫤. Other than that, overall very nice, comfortable, attentive wait staff, good value.

    Made a reservation for 6 with a high chair and when our party arrived they gave us a fourtop and a few of us had to just stand around for a while while we waited for them to add a small table which was then extremely close to the people next to us! Other than that the server was GREAT and the food and drinks were very good. Also found the pricing reasonable. Should give the option to reserve indoor or outdoor when booking on Open Table so guest know if they will be outside and can plan/dress accordingly.

    We ordered Chilaquiles thinking it would be Chilaquiles, bit what we got was Nachos with Chorizo. The taste was good but not a typical Chilaquiles dish. The service was awesome. Our waiter always checked in on us. Apologized for the food taking so long to get to our table. Very very professional.

    Although we have enjoyed Great Maple in the past, the service was poor this time. Waiting long periods for things requested (ice since very hot at outside table or someone's coffee to arrive during and not after the meal). Also, no notification from server that she was going on break or to introduce a new server who would take over. She just disappeared. I enjoy their food but they need better service during busy brunch periods. Take a chance for good food but now I'm more apprehensive to go there.

    Again I brought my family with a reservation and again services was bad The waiter assigned we had to keep asking for anything needed. He never came to fill water glasses coffee or any drinks. never gave a water bottle to table only to other tables as well as did not follow up to ask how we were doing Found a Hair in Salad as well We had to get up and ask for check and for box for food I was there I May with same waiter and same issues. Was told he was the best Waiter When I spoke with management both times I can only come the the conclusion of possible it is the ethnic colors at our table each time Looked at my bill and had two different prices for the pancakes we ordered two buttermilk and one with blueberries the two buttermilk different prices Unfortunately this is Not ok and living in Pasadena is a open Diverse community But 2 times each time it was like we were a bother I’ve come to this restaurant before without my family and with a different waiter with excellent service did not have to ask for anything and received a water bottles for self service as well I will post this further and see if anyone is experiencing this The managers stated he is their Best waiter each time But maybe not for people of color and mixed race families

    Made reservations for brunch for my birthday. It was empty when we arrived but soon it got very crowded. The food and drinks were done sloppily and looked nothing like the photos I see on Instagram. The waitress forgot about us a lot. I wanted this experience to be better.

    All of our orders were off and we were a party of 4. My colleagues salad was delivered without all the ingredients, my other co-worker's falafel was undercooked, the bun on my chicken burger was hard and toasted too long. Our server was also the bartender. It was not a good experience at all.

    I’ve been a regular at Great maple, whether it be at the bar or seating at a table. I can count on the staff to be courteous and attentive. It’s always a good time. And the doughnut of the month is always a good treat. Their drinks are hard hitting too. Food, delicious and fresh.
