    Top notch service overall. I call to see if I could switch my reservation and to my surprise there was an opening in 30min ,we got there and were greeted with complementary parking, the Hostess, the wait staff all played a part in making it a great experience.

    We were visiting family for the weekend from Louisville, Kentucky, so this was our first experience dining at Maple Tree Inn. It also happened to be our anniversary which made the evening even more special. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Service was beautifully paced so that we could order a drink and appetizer to enjoy before ordering our main course and we never felt rushed. The food was outstanding and the portions ample. We will definitely come back the next time we visit our grandchildren.

    If you’re a cajun food and cocktail fan, then no need to go anywhere else. This is the place. I’ve been going here for over 30 years and it always has been spot on.

    Great food great service!!! We went during the week when it first opened at 5 p.m. Make a reservation because the place filled up fast. The ambiance was amazing. Also every patron we came across had a smile on their faces! Food was amazing and the amount of food was worth the price. The drinks were great. Try the Hurricane or the voo doo!!! It was a date night for me and my wife, our first visit and it definitely will not be our last time!
