    The food and service was outstanding. Michael, our server, guided our wine picks and checked in on all our courses. We had a great evening.

    I e dined at J&M many time and have always enjoyed the food. However, this visit was very disappointing. The food was messy and overdressed/over-layered. Every dish except the tuna crudo left us wondering what flavors we were meant to savor…too much, too saucy and not well conceived.

    Juanita & Maude is our new favorite restaurant and a remarkable addition to the East Bay dining scene! The food is not only unique and delicious but also beautifully plated. Each dish was picture worthy! The ambience was warm and inviting, and everyone we interacted with, from our outstanding waiter Benjamin to the rest of the staff, made us feel truly welcome.

    We love this place and eat here regularly. Creative menu that changes regularly; great service and interesting (and reasonable) wine list. Great for special occasions or just for a great dining night out

    Really excellent service, it was a busy night but our server was always kind and attentive, and she had great suggestions. I will be thinking about the tuna carpaccio for a long time.

    Juanita & Maude's is one of our all time favorite Bay Area restaurants, and not that we live out of state we make a point to eat here whenever we're back for a visit. Their menu is always changing, as well as their specialty cocktail list which makes it a new experience every time. It has a very warm neighborhood feel, and if you get a chance to eat in the back patio area you would never know you're steps away from the busy San Pablo Avenue in the middle of Albany!

    Well I guess It’s a date after 40 yrs of marriage. Juanita and Maude makes it feel that way! Aaron at the Bar is an awesome host. Great experience
