Our family went here for a nice steak dinner after a long weekend Comic-Con . The food was amazing steaks were on point the staff and service was wonderful . The Ambiance was super cozy and we loved finding this little diamond in the rough . Definitely recommend checking this out in National City on your next trip to San Diego . read more

I recently visited Café La Maze and had one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time -- and a huge part of that was because of our server, Jasmine. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. What impressed me most was her ability to manage multiple tables effortlessly while still making every guest feel taken care of. Even during busy moments, she remained calm, positive, and on top of everything. It's rare to find someone who combines genuine hospitality with such strong work ethic and multitasking skills. Jasmine made the entire experience enjoyable and welcoming, and it's employees like her that keep customers coming back. Excellent service, great attitude, great tasting food and outstanding attention to detail. Café La Maze is lucky to have her and the cooks. It was a great way to celebrate Mothers Day! read more

I've waited a while to write this review primarily because I was very upset with the service we received. My sister in law and I made reservations for her mom for her 71st birthday. We made them two weeks in advance for 9 people, 7 adults, a toddler, and a baby. I had also ordered a custom cake that cost $75 for what we thought would be a wonderful and well planned out birthday party. When we walked in, we were not greeted and we just wandered in to look for those of our party who were already seated. It took around 15 mins. before they took our drink order and then another 15 before they took our food order. Maybe 30 mins later we received drinks and we continued to wait for our food. We came here at 5:30pm for our reservation and didn't receive our food until around 7:20pm. We waited nearly two hours for our meal and then half of the party had to leave because they had a baby who was needed to go to bed which is why we planned for an early dinner. They left when their children's food had arrived and was much too hot for them to eat. They got the rest of their food to go and were unfortunately not able to stay for dinner or for their mother's cake. When the rest of our food arrived, the birthday lady's food was hard and cold inside? like her salmon had been left under a heat lamp for much too long. Our prime rib was cold as well and everyone else had lost their appetite. They tried arguing that food service was bad because they had one chef and another large party in the restaurant. Which is fine, but maybe if you have a large party who reserved far in advance and you're going to take another party your kitchen can't handle; don't take an extra party. Or tell us so we can go somewhere else, instead of making us wait over two hours for dinner. OR plan for another chef or kitchen staff to help for a busy dinner session. Otherwise, we had a horrible experience. Emma ( I believe the servers name was ) made a mocking comment when I declined her candles like I couldn't hear her from 5 feet away to another female server. Of course I brought candles Emma, I paid $75 for this custom cake half of my family no longer gets to enjoy. I'm not an idiot and I can hear you. At the end of the day the manager was apologetic and tried comping our meal and offered us a free round of drinks for a remaining group of people that did not drink, but regardless the rest of the service and food were truly bad. We still spent $400-$500 and ended up tossing our food when we got home. Even worse, the birthday lady's food was truly inedible and her birthday was ruined. read more

Ten years ago was the last time I was here. For no other reason that it's too far away. Not the delicious offerings or the excellent parking and impeccable service and staff in general. See the French Dip (very good) and French onion soup (not the way I'm used to). The Garlic Mash was not bad. Music? Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Paul Anka, Debbie Reynolds, etc. Not $$$, Outch. Comfortable old school booths. See photos, please. read more

Café La Maze is very unusual restaurant located in the unfashionable inductrial suburb of National City. The exit you should take from the 805 Freeway South is Plaza Boulevard. Then you will travel westbound about one mile. Next, you will turn left (south) down busy Highland Avenue (there is a Walmart store nearby) and thereafter you arrive at the restaurant, which will be on your left (the East side of the street). The flossy décor of the spacious dining room is deliciously retro. There are blavk and white portrtaits of Hollywood royalty lining the walls behind each red-leather-tufted booth. Many of these celebtrated individuals used to dine at Café La Maze on their way down from Beverly Hills to see the races in Caliente in Tijuana, Mexico. Beware of the New York Steak. It can be tough to the point of inability to cut it at all. The Filet Mignon may be the preferred option to avoid that issue. read more

Visiting San Diego for the weekend, we were craving a great steak and thought it would be fun to check out a local spot and splurge on a tomahawk for two at Cafe La Maze. Unfortunately, this turned into one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had. We came in around 8 PM expecting a bit of a wait, but after an hour and a half, our food still hadn't arrived. By the time it finally came out--nearly 1 hour and 50 minutes after we sat down--we were already beyond frustrated. Then came the bigger issue: the steak itself. The tomahawk was completely overcooked, nowhere near what we ordered. To make things worse, it was served pre-sliced, and it honestly looked like part of the steak had been swapped out. We noticed the end piece of the tomahawk on the plate, but a few slices at the end of the steak were pink in a way that didn't match the rest--it was pretty obvious something wasn't right. Service didn't help the situation either. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed and frazzled the entire time, and we never really felt taken care of. The manager did try to make things right, which we appreciated, but at that point the experience had already gone downhill. Overall, we left disappointed and still hungry. For a meal we were genuinely excited about, this was a huge letdown. read more

They just started doing Buffet on 4/12/26. It is everyday 11-4PM with a couple options for beverages included. I believe the cost is $29.99 per person. I had to try it out. They had some wonderful beef ribs that were cooked until the meat was very tender and close to falling off the bone. There was a decent amount of meat on each bone and it was very satisfying. There was a green salad and a caesar salad option. Very tasty. A few pasta choices with a shell and green olive pasta. This one I liked very much. I love me some olives. The second dish as a fettuccine with zucchini and shrimp. These weren't large shrimp at all, they were about the size of a dime, the same kind you'd find in a shrimp cup o noodles. Corn on the Cobb, garlic mashed potatoes and a rice pilaf rounded out the buffet along with some sliced fruit and a few soup options. Service was excellent and the ambiance is slightly dark as usual in a steakhouse setting. I probably should give them more time to get things dialed in before coming back for the Buffet. From what I have seen the Beef Ribs were really the only protein choice, and even though they were delicious I thought they'd have chicken and or fish to try. Will always come back for the Prime Rib sandwich and some Shrimo scampi! read more

Cafe La Maze - Steakhouses Near Me - National City, California

Bekah's 30th birthday. We were headed up to Convoy and then she decided she didn't feel like Korean. How about BJ's? I asked her, do you like Steakhouses? Yes, she said. I then said, trust me. That's how we ended up at Cafe La Maze. Cafe La maze still has that old school Hollywood glamour. The rich red leather gives off an intimacy of sharing a secret with the spirits that have inhabited this spot for the last 90 years. A cool darkness exudes the atmosphere like one of your favorite 70s movies. Frank Sinatra singing in the background while Marlene Dietrich stares seductively from a smoky black and white photograph. Roxanne, beautiful and gracious, was our server. Bekah and Kassie loved her, and that's amazing in itself. We started with drinks, the girls trying their delicious margaritas while I sipped on a coke, someone had to drive. The girls loved their drinks and shared one more before our dinner was over. I got the maze cut (16 oz.) of prime rib and it was delicious. I like mine medium rare and it was that. Like butter. The girls shared their Baby Back Ribs and neither could finish. Had a very smoky flavor to their bbq sauce, it was yummy! We told Roxanne it was Bekah's birthday and they obliged us with cheesecake and a song, it was very sweet and my kid loved it. She said it was one of her best birthday dinners ever. Sucks being born between Christmas and New Years. I think we have found our new celebration restaurant although it's been here the whole time, calling out to us. Thanks Roxanne for the excellent service and we will see you again soon! read more

Love the food and the live music... the perfect place to have a date night or just a fun night with friends. Plenty of parking in the back.

This is the Second time I went to this place to cafe La Maze and I ordered the Rib eye and Lobster tail and they literally took forever and a day to bring it out to me. I can tell they felt like I wasn't gonna pay BECAUSE of the time it took to come out. We got in before another couple and they brought their food out first. I don't think I'll be back again ever. read more

Worst customer service I received. I made reservations to celebrate my mother. After check in we waited 30 minutes and the Host ignored us and sat a couple that came in 20 minutes after our arrival. When brought the situation to the male host, he mentioned that my table for 3 was ready (my reservation was for 2). I decided to cancel my reservation, because the lack of customer service is concerning. The worst part is that I had brought my mother here since this place had many good memories for her, but now I regret bring her here for mother's day read more

What a delicious meal and gorgeous ambiance! You are transported back into the era of the Rat Pack!! Great Prime Rib and a savory pasta! Beautiful red leather booths with shiny chandeliers. I love the live music it really adds to the charm. Roxanna our server was so sweet and had great recommendations. We met the manager and she said there would be a speakeasy up stairs this summer! I cannot wait to check that out! New owners that are updating the whole place. Some new menu changes but I loved it all. The crème brûlée was yummy, a little thicker than normal but still good. My husband even loved the salad dressing! A large loaf of bread. I would have liked it served warm so that is my only tip. They have their own parking lot and I love the beautiful mural outside! A gem in National City! Great for a large party and they even have a new updated hidden room with bar to rent out inside. read more

This historical gem of a place has eluded me since my childhood. It became a personal mission to go there at least once in the recent years. A coupon caught my eye, so it became a priority for going to dinner. We got the Tomahawk Steak. I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised with presentation and servings size. Definitely can recommend this place for the food and Smoked Old Fashion. There was a nice selection of wines too. Live music played in the background. I loved the ambience and decor. It was like stepping back in time. Compliments to Roxanne for being the hostess and our server. We look forward to returning in the near future. read more

Cafe La Maze - Tomahawk Steak dinner (serves 2) - Steakhouses Near Me - National City, California

Giving this review is hard for me, this was the place my wife and I went on our first date, we have always loved it as one of our favorites. Here goes......We made reservations online for Valentine's Day. The surf and turf options here have always been a favorite, along with the live jazz music, and great cocktails. I'm not sure what the exact source of the problem on this busy night for restaurants was but it was a series of absolute failures. First, we waited in line for 30 minutes just to get to the hostess. People were really getting upset with the wait but we both understood the expectations of this holiday evening, especially at a place with a romantic vibe. We were seated, waiting 15 minutes for water. It was a Prix Frixe menu on the holiday evening. We were served a complimentary glass of champagne that came with the dinner. We ordered, and then we were given some bread and butter, the bread is always warm and fresh here. Almost an hour went by before our dinner arrived, they started serving free champagne because guests were starting to complain. I want to put it out there that we did not come late, our reservation was for 4:30 in the afternoon. Every table in the room was getting angry. People started getting their food finally, and within minutes, most tables sent to food back. Over/undercooked proteins was the biggest complaint. I got a bowl of clam chowder but noticed within a few minutes they were giving everyone small cups of chowder because they were running out. My soup was hardly even warm. Then came my ribeye and my wife's prime rib. I ordered my ribeye rare, she ordered a center cut prime rib. She got the end cut instead of the center cut, it was obliterated and well done. My ribeye was well done not rare as I ordered. I also ordered, as an extra, a lobster tail. My lobster tail was not edible. The lobster tail was chewy like beef jerky, dry, even crunchy in some places, I sent it back. We both ate our proteins because we felt so bad for the waitstaff, they were getting a tongue beating from almost every table. The manager asked me how our meal was while I was waiting on my wife in the ladies room, she probably wished she hadn't asked. I told the manager that my wife and I had been coming there since our first date there, about 8 years ago, maybe twice a year. I told her that I just spent $250 for one of the worst meals in a higher end restaurant of my life. She apologized. They over booked obviously, the kitchen staff failed on this night, and the poor servers had to put up with all the complaints. I would think better planning for one of the busiest nights of the year would be something the management may want to consider. I don't give bad reviews unless they are warranted, and it has to be pretty bad for me to do one like this one. We still love you Cafe La Maze, both of us are hoping for better in the future. read more

We have been for several years and Kim and Manny are wonderful. Manny makes the best drinks

So let me start by saying this was not a good first experience at Cafe La Maze. I received an email about Valentine's Day and my wife and I had been wanting to try the restaurant and were happy to be able to get a reservation (or so we thought). When we got there it was apparently a first come first serve line that went from the front to the back door. Some people that complained more loudly were seated sooner. We finally got seated after waiting in line for an hour (with a reservation). We were being told that they were trying to limit customer time to an hour but that no one was leaving. I believe this to be untrue as it took longer than an hour to get food, eat and get the check...reservations at 6:30 and got our check close to 10:00. Bartender Manny was great and handled the chaos with a smile on his face, not to mention he made a great Negroni. He ended up being our server for the evening. Food was good, but not great, my ribeye was medium inside but bottom side a little blackened. The up side to the evening was that a very nice couple in front of us were seated in a booth for 4 and invited us to be seated with them so we wouldn't have to wait longer. They wanted our first experience to be better than it started out as they have been long time patrons there. Thanks to them, we will go back on a day that is not a holiday and give it another try. read more

A couple years ago I gave this Awesome Resturant a Negative review San Diego. I think it was around the time the restaurant had been sold to new Owners. I was extemly disappointed because this place used to be my Parents date night restaurant back in the 1970s to the 1990s. I recently went back to celebrate my Nephews safe return from deployment and was so surprised to find that my Prime Rib was cooked to perfection sooo tender!! The veggies were crisp and fresh and the salad was also fresh and delicious. .So heres to La Maze, to a great come back, my compliments to the chef!! I will be back and Thank you for bringing this iconic place back!! read more

Food was great and plentiful! Very nice owner. Place is a real hidden gem! Best prime rib sandwich I've ever had

Came here with our kid last night to get prime rib and listen to some live music. The place was reasonably busy, but seemed understaffed considering the speed of service. Upon entering the vibe was similar enough to the old Cafe La Maze. No one greeted us and we weren't sure where to go as the host stand was not near the entrance we came through. Eventually someone seated us. We were given water and bread, but no one came to take our order for about a half hour. After we ordered the food took another 40 minutes or so to come out. The bread was tasty and hot. The La Maze margarita was very large and a bit overly sweet for my taste, but ok. The French onion soup was a bit watery, but otherwise good and my kid enjoyed it a lot. My husband and I both got the 16 oz prime rib. He had requested medium rare and I asked for medium, but what we got were more like medium well and medium. The medium well was quite tough but the medium was better. They were out of baked potatoes so we had fries and mashed potatoes. The fries were fantastic and even cold they were fluffy inside and crispy outside. The mashed potatoes were heavy and a bit cold. My kid liked the carrots which were pretty good for a side and I liked the horseradish and jus though my husband thought the horseradish wasn't spicy enough. Overall, a somewhat underwhelming experience that took so long we didn't have time for dessert. We forgot to take our leftovers we packed up, but I guess I'm not overly disappointed considering how tough the meat was. 3 stars. read more

My husband and I had a Cesar salad and the prime rib appetizer. I was shocked at how delicious and tender the meat was. The Cesar salad was delicious. Their complimentary bread was warm and fresh. It's such a classic steak house w a very clean ambiance and friendly service. Highly recommend this place. We also had cocktails and walked out for less than $100 read more

1st time here and I am really thrilled with my experience here. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. The service was really great. If you come, ask for Roxy. She offered really great service and is really sweet. ​ read more

The atmosphere and music at La Maze is great! It's heartwarming to see so many regulars and people dancing lively to the music. The service could use some improvement. Even with understaffing, I feel that the staff lacked proper training to handle a busy Saturday night. Staff should be trained to pass by their section tables to keep an eye out for drink refills and to take a second to check for food satisfaction. They were kind to bring out a complimentary platter of cake slices to compensate for the dining experience/service. The owner, Rula, was very sweet and addressed my concerns with a personal conversation which I really appreciated. It shows how much love goes into Cafe La Maze. read more

Two stars: Could've been better. I last visited Cafe La Maze maybe 6-7 years ago. I wanted to show off the place to my son and his wife, so drinks are on me! Walking up to the entry door, I noticed saxophone music penetrating the thick, heavy ornate entry door. Not a good sign. Sure enough, upon entry, the blaring music was jarring. The solo musician was far too overamped for such a small venue. Hoping he would go on a break soon, we seated ourselves at the curved end of the bar to facilitate conversation. We sat, we waited. The bartender was deeply involved with a clutch of other servers at the other end of the bar, the topic obviously being more important that waiting patrons at his bar or in the dining room. When salespersons or servers congregate like this, it is symptomatic of poor training and/or mismanagement. Finally, someone came over to take our drink order, and the drinks arrived efficiently. My La Maze Margarita was oversalted and undersized, but tasty nonetheless. While waiting for the loud entertainment to subside, I turned around and surveyed the dining room. I noticed a group of about 10 or 12 adults at a table nearest the singer/sax player. They were not conversing at all, just eating and looking straight ahead. The music was way too loud for polite conversation. The crystal chandelier lighting was far brighter than I recall. The extra wattage managed to change it from 'mood lighting' to simply 'lighting'. Too bad. Finally, the loud music ceased and we were able to converse in normal tones. That is, until the musician came over and annoyed all three of us by forcing his oversize business card on each one of us, one by one. Assuming that after he was done annoying the other two bar patrons, he would likely resume his overamped performance, I vigorously signaled the bartender for my tab. Yes, he was still holding court or discussing very urgent issues with several other servers at the far end of the bar. He eventually noticed my hand-waving and provided me with a bill. In retrospect, we were there on a Saturday evening during prime time for fine dining restaurants. But there were numerous empty tables, and only five bar patrons during my visit. It's a bit regretful that when things are changed, it's not always for the better. read more

Had an awesome experience here. I always wondered about this place for the longest time. Went for lunch. Glad I tried it. Had the pasta mare but with their creamy garlic alfredo sauce. I special ordered it and they made it to my liking! So good! The service was as good also. Jasmine was very nice and very accommodating. She made sure everything is okay. I never even had to ask for a refill of my drink! She's awesome. Definitely be coming back to try more items from their menu. read more

I would have to say we are devout, generational family customers of Cafe La Maze. I have a HUGE San Diego native family. Café La Maze has been a treasured jewel of national city. My great grandparents, grandparents, mother, my children, my children's children all patron Café La Maze. We were all very concerned with the sale of the restaurant. I hoped that none of its vintage charm, welcoming spirit, and of course amazing food would not be changed. I have to be honest that I went back-and-forth with four stars versus five stars and let me tell you why. I had a party of 7 with a reservation on Mother's Day 2025. Im all about an incredible restaurant experience because for me it's just that ...an experience. We walk into the restaurant and a few changes have been made. They removed the sound wall in the entry of the restaurant. Which really opens up all of the restaurant however it does make it much louder in there. They had live music in the lounge. In my opinion it was the wrong genre of music, what I love about the restaurant is its old Vegas charm. I would've loved to have music to reflect that. Some Sinatra or Jazz. We checked in with our very friendly hostess and sat at the bar waiting for our table. I do want to reiterate it was Mother's Day and it was very crowded. We waited a long time before somebody was even behind the bar, but once he was there, he was fantastic. Seriously his cocktails were art! I hate waiting for my drinks. We were sat in the back room which has been redone and has had a much needed facelift. The waitress was friendly, but again it came down to us waiting and waiting. I guess our dissatisfaction must've been painted all over our face because the owner came over to our table and she was wonderful. Such a beautiful woman and incredible hostess. She stood at our table and talked with us for a while, which took our mind off of waiting. With that being said, I have no problem at all paying for incredible food and exceptional service. My bill for Mother's Day dinner was about 850.00 Keep in mind we added lobster tails to all of our meals we had several cocktails and several appetizers and dinner entrees. So the value for what we had was right on!!! However, there was a few mix ups and missing items with our order, but in the end they were resolved. Unfortunately, that created more waiting. The food was ah Mazing! I was disappointed that it was a prefix meal and I was not made aware of that. Some where during our meal a belly dancer showed up at our table, giving us a little extra entertainment. She was very friendly. I do have to mention with the music selection and the belly dancer it may have caused a bit of identity crisis for the restaurant. What I loved about Cafe La Maze previously was I knew exactly what I was getting... Vintage Vegas steakhouse. The cherry on the sundae was an incredible cobbler with ice cream at the end of our meal. I would have given five star plus if it wasn't for the waiting and service issues. Was it due to the holiday? Was it due to them being new? Was it due to a new green staff? I'll never know although I'm going to trust that it was just due to the holiday. I can for sure say I'm going to give it one more try and have confidence that it will be better. Fingers crossed and happy eating. BREAKING news.... They serve BREAKFAST!!! read more

If you've ever wanted to hit up an old school steakhouse and avoid paying new school prices, this is the place for you. It's a nice and dark place, not too fancy, and the food is absolutely worth the price. The reason why almost anyone will walk into this National City favorite is beef, and they've got good quality beef, seasoned well, and cooked to order. I've had the prime rib, steaks of different cuts, their beef rib bones, and their French onion soup. They're all good choices worth repeating. The first thing you're going to get from very attentive waitresses is your bread. There are a couple of loaves, one dark and one white. Then come appetizers (I really enjoy the shrimp cocktail, which is quite old school), and I haven't had a bad main. read more

From the moment we walked in, the ambience was perfect--warm lighting, stylish decor, and a vibe that makes you feel like you just stepped into a classic spot (lowkey gave me "mafia meeting" vibes in the best way possible). Our waiter Manny was hands down the highlight of the night! He felt like a long-lost brother--super friendly, funny, and on point with everything. His drinks were absolutely fire--all fruit-based and made to order. We asked for pomegranate and blood orange with vodka as our base, and he nailed both! For dinner, we tried the salmon and steak pasta--both were amazing. I also had French onion soup for the first time, and it was delicious. The soup of the day (meatball) was also really good. This is definitely a spot you can go with family, on a date, or even just tuck away in a corner and enjoy the vibe. Beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, and great food. It's 100% a go-to for me! read more

Came for my in laws 34th wedding anniversary. They came here for their Rehersal dinner so it was so special. This was their first time being here with the new owners and we loved it. They had the tomahawk on special for $100 it was such a great deal. The Brussel stouts were amazing! I had the salmon it was light and fresh. We all loved our baked potatoes, soups and salads! My brother and sister in law split the chicken alfredo and thought it was great. The prime rib was also juicy and flavorful! They had live music that added to the vibe. Andres our server was super nice and attentive. We love what they've done with the place and will be back! They have fresh cakes for dessert! The strawberry shortcake was delicious. read more

Chose close to home for our anniversary dinner tonight. Heard they had made interior changes under new ownership but when arrived and saw it was hard to notice what had been changed. We had reservations but they did not even ask and quickly got seated. Our server was Manny who was attentive. We were delivered a little cutting board with 4 quite little pieces of white bread-and-butter. The bread was fresh, but was not warm. When we finished bread, we weren't asked if we would like more, but we would have said, no anyways. My wife and I both ordered a Cuba Libre, which was very tasteful. We then proceeded to pick our dinner, and she picked the breaded jumbo shrimp, which she always likes, and I did a large filet mignon. I ordered my filet Mignon medium well, but it came back pretty well done which made it tougher and chewier. So I didn't like it as much as I would have. We both ordered baked potatoes and had butter, sour cream and chives. Carrots and broccoli were a nice side to our meals. Not very many people on Monday evening so dinner was quaint and quiet If you like calamari, they have a fantastic panko crusted calamari steak you have to try.j Thursday-Sunday they have entertainment and karaoke. Private parking lot surrounds the restaurant. Cafe LA Maze was off a little tonight but that won't keep me from coming back. read more
