    This was our second visit and it was every bit as good as the first. First of all, the venue is lovely and the tables are well-spaced, not rammed together to maximize the number of diners the place can serve. Our server, Beth, was friendly and so helpful in making our choices. She even brought us a sample of the Palomino sauce to try before we made our choice. The drinks were properly sized, not skimpy as we so often experience. We loved the Chicken Alfredo Eggrolls, Barramundi, Brick Chicken and Penne Palomino. We will definitely be back and hope others will try this very refreshing and enjoyable new restaurant. When Maples is discovered we hope we'll still be able to get a table!

    The scallops were delicious but I did not care for the mashed potatoes and thought it was an odd pairing. I would have preferred rice pilaf or couscous. The chicken wings with buffalo sauce were great; crunchy on outside and juicy on inside.

    I had been reading good things about Maples and wanted to try it. My husband and I were not disappointed ! The food, atmosphere and service were great. I had the barramundi. It was cooked perfectly and delicious. He had a burger and fries, also great. Everything was hot when it arrived which is one of our requirements for a good meal. We’ll definitely be back.

    We are always happy to try new restaurants and hope for the best. Maples exceeded our expectations! The venue is lovely and the tables, both in the dining room and in the bar are not crowded together, as is so often the case. Our seating preferences were noted and our server, Beth, was one of the best we have ever had anyplace! The wine list had many affordable choices and the menu is fairly small but offers very interesting options. We enjoyed the Penne Palomino and Barramundi. Both were prepared as we had requested and were delicious. We will definitely return and hope word of mouth will not make it impossible to make a reservation!

    The food and service are fantastic. The room is loud even when it's not crowded.

    We had a wonderful time! I had the prime rib which was cooked perfectly. The churros for dessert were amazing. We also had the chicken alfredo eggroll appetizer that was quite delicious. My husband had the scallops and they were cooked to perfection. I usually don’t like scallops but I had a taste anyway and they were awesome. Nice wine list. The bossa nova music playing in the background created a good, chill vibe. Our server, Beth, was very friendly and professional. Great to have a new restaurant in the area like this. I hope it continues! We will be back.

    Had a great meal at Maples Bar & Bistro! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was top-notch. The Brick Chicken was perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and crispy on the outside, while the Seared Scallops were cooked just right. Drinks were well-made, and the overall vibe was perfect for a relaxed night out. Definitely a great spot in Novi, and I’ll be back for sure!

    We loved our meal! Selected this restaurant based on reviews, location, and comfy chairs. :) the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Service was great, and the chef came out to check on us (as well as probably the manager or owner - although she didn’t introduce herself). We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely items be back!
