Excellent food. Excellent kind and attentive service.
First time out in 14 months!
One of my favorite spots! I was surprised by having a table in their dining room! I do love their patio, though.
We had a lovely time there. We thought the back patio had a great atmosphere and the food was really yummy. All in all we were very pleased!
Another great meal in the beautiful patio, and they're opening back up for more seating indoors, too, for those who are willing to go back to indoor dining right now.
Great! Food and service were great. We enjoyed everything about the evening. We will certainly return when we return to the area.
Excellent food every time we eat there! Even during the pandemic when things were more than challenging, Juanita and Maude did not disappoint!
Wonderfully prepared and presented, our meal was outstanding. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about their wine and suggested the perfect one for me
My partner and I finally had a date night! Juanita & Maude's back patio with the pretty vertical heat lamps was perfect. We felt safe eating there and the food, drinks, service and ambiance were perfect. I'm so grateful to eat out again!
The food was amazing. Affordable wine list with interesting wines. We received a great wine recommendation. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
A perfect neighborhood restaurant. Interesting but comforting food; well made cocktails; a warm and inviting space; and desserts that are a perfectly satisfying cap to the night.
We ate on the outdoor patio with plenty of natural air circulation. The food was excellent. The halibut was poached and very tender. The sauces had great flavors. The cocktails were original. Our server was knowledgable about the menu and was very helpful.
elegant yet casual, romantic, impeccable service, and unbelievably delicious. what more can you want?
A bit expensive, but food is terrific, with distinctive dishes and restaurant-made bread and original cocktails. Service also is friendly and helpful.
Wonderful food, excellent service. Outdoor eating was pleasant and felt very safe. Menu was creative and we enjoyed all courses. Good wine and drinks too.
We were on the upstairs patio and it is delightful and comfortable. Good air circulation but protected from the weather
The food was quite bland for the price
It could be more original and sophisticated
OUTSTANDING dinner. Wonderful cocktail, very special second course of white polenta with roasted vegetables, then amazing sturgeon on a bed of created spinach as puréed potatoes. The desserts were lovey. Definitely coming back SOON!
Amanda was the most warm and kind host for a meal that felt like such a breath of fresh air. Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly, and the dynamic wine list paired exceptionally well. I can't wait to return.
Amazing meal -- everything was perfectly prepared. The outdoor patio was nice and warm on a chilly night. And service was excellent. It felt very Covid safe (tables spaced well apart, servers properly masked, etc.)
Great dinner and overall experience. Proper distancing was adhered to by all.
One of my favorite restaurants, pleasant and really good dinning experience. Food is excellent
The vibe, the flavors, the smiles, the everything! Love this place and grateful for the thoughtfulness put into this inspiring dining experience!
Wonderful patio dining
We love this place! People who work here are wonderful and kind, food is great and ambiance as well! Highly recommend it!
Absolutely fantastic meal...very cute outdoor area in the back and good COVID-19 protocols. Thank you for serving our community with such lovely meals and service.
We love the outdoor dining area. It was beautifully quiet most of the time we were there and so good to be able to converse with people we hadn’t seen in a long time. We loved our cocktails, the food was delicious and the service was perfect.
A wonderful outdoor dining experience. The space was well-lit, well-heated and inviting. The food was delicious. The people were friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. Definitely will be back again!
Hands down one of the best places to dine in the east bay. Food is killer, but the pastry chef is next level. LEAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! Not to mention stellar service and a great outdoor dining setup.
The patio is well designed re space, light, heat, sound, and ambience. The wait person was patient and informed and helpful. Food was delicious and beautifully plated. Felt like a real night out at a favorite local bistro.
Awesome a pleasure to dine here. Service is great and the food is always top notch. Love that the menu changes, it’s always a different culinary experience. Definitely top 5 east bay restaurants in our book.
Our server was the best! And the food was amazing as always. I always look forward to dinner at Juanita & Maude!
J &M is a great neighborhood restaurant. The food and service are outstanding.
We celebrated my mother’s birthday on their rear elevated patio. Be warned, it is not easily accessible for those less able - there are stairs. The environment was lovely and convivial though also weekday appropriate. The food was exemplary, the service outstanding and the whole experience was so wonderful we’re anxious to recreate it. Hats off to the whole team! Juanita & Maude’s had been at the top of our to do list for over a year and were so glad to report it was worth the wait!
Delicious food, great service, outside is warm, drinks are really strong and well made
Lovely food in a great patio off the street. Feels very safe-- plenty of air curculation. Incredible crabcakes, salmon main, devils food cake!
Great dinner, great service, felt very safe in covid times.
We really like Juanita and Maude. We like the cocktails we love the ambiance and the service is always excellent. The food has been hit or miss for us. Some items we absolutely are obsessed with while others really miss the mark completely. We will continue to come but probably for drinks and appetizers only.
We were happy to dine outdoors at a restaurant that exemplifies great food, ambiance, cleanliness & service! Thank you!
Nice place, tasty food and good wine.
Great customer service.
