Best Farm To Table Restaurants in University City/Golden Triangle

My wife and I were visiting from Washington state and Great Maple was highly recommended to us by a couple of friends. Wow no disappointments, we went on a Saturday night and thought the worst about crowds and parking. Not true, we had ample parking and the crowds weren’t there early! The service and the food were wonderful the drinks were well mixed and everything and everyone exceeded our expectations. We had Vegan hash and prime rib with portobello mushrooms has an appetizer . We cannot wait to come back and try something different or maybe the same!

This is the second time we’ve been and we’ll keep coming back. It’s not just the food and experience, which are top notch, it’s the staff. This occasion was for my wife and my first date night since having our second child. Several staff members commented on it, congratulated us, chatted with us about it, etc. It felt like we had known these people for years. That’s what elevates this above just a great dining experience. If you’re looking for suggestions, sit at the counter by kitchen. You get to see all the action and chat with the kitchen staff. Sometimes you get some fun freebies if you ask about what’s coming out of the kitchen.

Brandon and Erica are fantastic! Friendly, polite and funny! They made my lunch with mom an absolute joy! I have been going to AR Valentien for years and it never disappoints. The food, the staff and the views are perfection!

We enjoyed the half off bottle of wine for Wine Wednesday. Our dinners were fabulous.

Incredible food, excellent customer service and a beautiful setting. It was perfect!
