Maya is consistently wonderful...we have been dining here since it first opened its doors and it's great to see that the kitchen has preserved its same fine quality and delicious favorite dishes. The marinated brisket-topped nachos are a MUST...once you try these, you will never again accept Velveeta-topped salty tortilla chips. Also consider a stand-out carne asada cooked to your preferred doneness...and excellent burger!

The Chew Chew is always a nice place to dine. I had the crab stuffed rainbow trout, while my wife had the scallops with risotto. Both were delicious!

A lovely evening with a great special: risotto with beef cheeks, mushrooms and bell peppers. Our server Matthew was knowledgeable about dishes, wines and so accommodating throughout. It was my 75th birthday and I felt so special there.
