    Beautiful view of the boardwalk and ocean. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. We were disappointed with the selection of local beers considering there are so many local breweries in the area. My cocktail was very strong so I couldn't finish it. We had a nice meal but it's not someplace I would run back to.

    Nice oceanfront restaurant but Food and service need improvement here. Had the meatballs and boy did they look delish but we were disappointed as they were room temp to a touch of coolness but for whatever the reason, the dishware was piping hot. We were famished so we did not send back but we did inform the server that the meatballs were not hot and she mentioned that she would let the them know (who, I don't know). The oysters were good but could have been a few degrees colder. We also had the Burrata/eggplant caponata. The burrata was very good and the eggplant was okay. Lastly we had the Cacio Pepe Tagliatelle. I've never had a cacio pepe the way it was prepared at Maya. It was saucy and it could have passed for anything coming from a jar. Not what I expected at all. We had the olive cake with supposedly blood orange gelato but they served a raspberry gelato not the blood orange gelato. Sent that back and got the blood orange but it seemed freezer burned and hard like a block of ice and nothing close to gelato. The olive cake was three small pieces of muffin with a dip in it for some jelly of sort which I informed the server that we would not have an jelly. The olive cake or muffin lacked taste, moisture and seemed to have been sitting out as they were a bit stale. The servers were nice but very slow to non-attentive. Food were brought out without any flatware or napkins to dine with and server had to be reminded. We were excited about dining at this restaurant but we were a disappointed.

    Paul was great, our host. Oysters were superb. Cacio e pepe was OK but bland. Ambience was fine. It’s an indoor-outdoor setup within a hotel. Not bad overall but not exceptional, either. As far as the restaurants accessible nearby, it’s a good choice.

    Food was good overall. The fruit salad was delicious fish was a little over cooked. My husband said the bolognese was just ok, but his Mediterranean salad was very good. Our waitress was on top of everything and very good. The do charge you a $2 up charge for bread per person. You get two pieces each. The bread was very good, but this is the first restaurant I have been to that charges you for bread. Maybe they should not offer, but if people ask then serve and just give one piece each. Just a thought.

    Food is ok (salmon was under-seasoned); service is weak- server gave no information regarding meals or sides and basically was “ghost” at the end of the meal; no bread for the table; water is warm. Great location but bad parking and high energy, but many servers/staff milling around with nothing to do. FYI - $10 parking available in a gravel lot past the restaurant. Found that out after the fact!

    Service was horrendous, you keep waiting for the waitress for a long time. Even worse she sees you're calling her but she does't come. She took my drink while I wasn't paying attention and she never even asked if I want another one (she took while eating apps early on) and when I told her, she said she didn't know, well thats why you should ask when you are picking it up and you don't pick it up without asking. Couple of decent apps but the main entrees were below average at best. The fillet mignon was well done when I asked for medium and my daughters Salmon was horrible.

    Maya is a part of wave resort. Location is beautiful, staff is very attentive and friendly. But the food did not meet the expectations. If you are taking about Mediterranean food I did not feel the taste. Salmon was very dry and bitter taste(top was burn). Lamb loly pop same. Eggplant Burrata the bread was hard and kind of burn. It is ok to eat here but don’t except too much. We seat outside but inside did not feel like they had air conditioning turn on.

    We were very excited to come for date night with our friends but we’re let down by the food flavors. Overall a gorgeous space with amazing location and views but the first clue was the missing host and apparent chaos at the restaurant. We ordered apps -crab cakes and octopus was over cooked and rubbery. Dinner entrees were rigatoni (bland and missing any exciting flavors) Cacio y Pepe (2 orders) tasted horrible- Alfredo sauce from a jar, a side of dry chicken and rubbery shrimp. The only tasty dish was my wife’s branzino. The server was extremely nice and apologized the food didn’t live up to the expectations nor prices. We’re hoping the kitchen and staff gets it together as the vibe is super cool.

    Service got screwed up but it happens so i’ll skip that. Positives: Great place to hang out, energetic and good crowd Negatives: the food! Hummus taste very bitter Burrata w eggplant caponata had a weird after taste Eggplant parm had no flavor Organic chicken was just ok Had a few other dishes that were just ok. If they can step up the game on good this could be an amazing place. I would go back and give it another try.

    Drink service was super slow on a quiet Wednesday to start. Pricing for portion size is a joke, for mediocre food at best. And to boot, played music with commercials. You can’t afford the $10 a month for ad free music? Our waitress was amazing though! Kind and thorough. Not her fault. Do better Maya.

    All of the food was very good. The noise was from the outside music with the doors open, which was ok if dinner conversation wasn't intended. Cost was on the high side but that seems to be the new normal no matter what you go today.

    We went for a mother's day brunch and for $75 a head for a buffet, I would have expected way more food variety and clearer signage. I would love to see what this restaurant is like on a non buffet day. The service was good, can't fault that! Everyone was great and friendly and the location was lovely. While the food was good, in my opinion, the value was not worth it for a Mother's Day buffet

    Food was excellent as were the drinks. Hostess seemed to be in training and it never felt like she got into any logical timing in serving us. Weird. This place was basically dead on a Sat night in May. Also weird. I placed our second drink order with the bartender and she was fabulous.
