800 Maple

I am vegan, the chef did good job preparing my food, my girlfriend had pork she really enjoyed. There is a good atmosphere and we spend wonderful time. But we felt uncomfortable because we were asked so many time if we still working on our food. It felt like they wanted us to finish even my girlfriend was drinking her whisky, and our plates were full with food. I think for such expensive place it is not right manners. That is why I gave 4 stars to the place.

Delicious food. Expansive liquor selection. Very busy, reservations recommended. Pretty long wait for entrees after appetizers.

Great experience this evening at 800 Maple. We were welcome by the host right when we arrived and we're seated at a comfortable table. The cocktails we got were phenomenal and we ended up ordering about six drinks total between the two of us. One of the drinks was a pear flavored martini And the other was a Sicilian mule. We ordered the crispy artichoke hearts and the calamari for appetizers. The calamari was one of the softest calamari I have ordered at a restaurant. The artichark hearts were different than anything I have had but I really enjoyed it. My husband ordered the pork chop which was cooked very well and I ordered the prime strip steak which was very flavorful and cooked properly. We did order the homemade macaroni and cheese. You can also get a version of this that is lobster macaroni and cheese. You definitely can taste that it is homemade and that there are many different cheeses used in this dish. It was very rich but my husband was head over heels for it. The best part of our experience was the dessert. It was a homemade tart with peaches and blueberries with vanilla ice cream on top. It was served warm and You could really taste that homemade flavor. It was kind of like peach cobbler but a hundred times better. I would highly recommend that as a dessert if you visit the establishment. I really would love to come back to this restaurant to try a couple more of their dishes and would highly recommend this restaurant to my close friends and family.

800 Maple is a beautiful looking upscale restaurant, that falls a bit short of it's class. I say this because, I expect more from a upscale restaurant. When you look past the beautiful decor, you have to judge a place by their food/drinks. After carefully looking over the menu, my wife and I found it to be lackluster. My wife ended up getting the asparagus salad, and I ordered the roasted chicken. Initially, we did not place an order for a appetizer. But our waiter suggested that we should, just to help pass the time. Because the roasted chicken could take up to 30mins to prepare, so we ordered the truffle fries. While waiting for our food to arrive, our drinks was ready and was brought to us. Tai ordered the Cosmo, and I ordered the Manhattan. We were both disappointed by our drinks, because they both tasted watered down. By now our fries showed up, and the first thing we notice is the fries are lukewarm. We are starting to wonder, if these fries was just sitting under a heat lamp. The main entree's arrive, after about 20-25 mins wait time. I had no problem with that, I felt that was reasonable. Tai like her salad, but grew tired of it after several bites. I had tried some of her salad, and understood why she felt the way she did. You get a strong taste of boiled eggs in the salad, so if your not into boiled eggs. This may not be a salad you would want to try, or just omit the egg when ordering. My roasted chicken was huge, and the skin was nice and crispy. What I didn't care for, was the cognac peppercorn sauce. To me it tasted more like a foie gras sauce, than a peppercorn sauce. My final thoughts of this place would be this, the food is not on a upscale restaurant level. There is nothing exciting, bold or daring about the dishes. I feel this is a neighborhood favorite, that is better than Carrabba's, Scotch and sirloin, and Red lobster. But does not compare, to the upscale restaurants in the downtown Buffalo area.
