Super super disappointed in this place. Travel all over the world for food and this place was highly recommended by locals as one of the best restaurants. Let me preface by saying they have a tasting menu for $150 or you can order ala carte. For us, we assumed the service would match the menu pricing. Unfortunately far from the truth. After dining the night before at Saffron Nola where the food, cocktails and service were top notch, this place fell way short. Hostess took us to a counter that wasn’t ready. Gave us new plates but never wiped the tables. Service felt like fast food.. dump and run. Waitress wasn’t personable… didn’t talk about the food at all, barely spoke to us. At these prices, expected better. Good was ok but nothing spectacular.. would not recommend or return.

Had the tasting menu, the grand one. Lot of fun and tasty bites. Some were better than others but overall, a good meal. Maybe a little pricey for the end result but still flavorful and well presented. Service was very good.

The front door was locked when I tried to get into the restaurant. (There are two doors, the one I tried was locked.) The hostess /server saw me try to get in and was standing right there, but didn't bother to come get me and let me walk around the entire restaurant before I backtracked and tried the second door. When I told her the other door was locked, she told me it was always locked like it wasn't a problem. The hostess/server completely ignored a guest asking her a question as she was walking towards them to seat me at my table. She actually turned her back to them without responding after they'd asked her a question, which I thought was very rude. The food was not tasty - and the price was high.

Maypop is one of the most unique restaurants in the City. The menu consists of Asian fusion specialties. Never quite sure what the menu describes, as the ingredients are exotic, the flavors blend to a down home comfort food. The short rib debris was one of the best dishes in the City. Trust your carefully trained servers, their recommendations always are always spot on.

We had the tasting menu and it was a great choice to experience many different dishes. Really nice space and well-appointed dining area. The food was delicious and the portions were appropriate for the price. Maypop is a must if you want a break from the typical New Orleans food offerings.
