This is a review of Maison May both event spaces *Brownstone and cafe…read more Maison May *brownstone and cafe are super cute and quaint. Perfect rustic homey feeling. I have been stalking this venue *(the brownstone) for a while and finally I got a chance to visit. Though I really like the atmosphere, the venue *(brownstone) has a inconvenient lay out. They host weddings all the time but I can't see how, with a large guest count, people won't be bumping into each other constantly. For a wedding, I think this place *(the brownstone) will need a little more decor to give it a little more opulence, But the space isn't huge so it won't break the bank. I will probably go back to try the food someday. The menu looks really good. *Just to be clear I visited both Maison May Vanderbilt cafe and Maison May Dekalb brownstone.

This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful spot to throw an event…read more I hosted a friends bridal shower here this past weekend and everything went extremely well! Working over email with the event coordinator, Kat, was very easy and the staff when we arrived were more than accommodating. Jen and Valeria made sure everything was perfect, whether they were assisting with decorations, dedicating a dessert table, or gently moving our timing along. The food was excellent and they made sure to take of the bride and make modifications to the menu for her due to a gluten allergy. I personally had the steak sandwich, which was excellent, and the sweet potato muffin. I don't make a habit of eating gluten free baked goods, because luckily it's not an issue I have to deal with, however that sweet potato muffin is still in my mind. It was superb. It came with a maple butter and a jam and was just so moist and delicious. The fact that it's a no tipping establishments is an added bonus. The only thing that left a bit of a weird taste in my mouth was that I was told they couldn't reserve a space in the garden for our party, because they didn't have a phone number to contact us with. Having been in contact via email, I would have readily responded to an emailed confirmation, had I received one, but it seemed strange that they would give up so easily. I suppose I should count myself lucky that it seemed like a slow day and there was plenty of space available in the dining room.

Always a great time coming here. Grace and the rest of the staff kill it every time. In the past…read moreI've only gotten drinks. But yesterday, I did rhe Boozy Brunch (90min for $40). Definitely worth another trip. I got the Cajun club (w/o tomatoes) sandwich and the frozen margarita. Both were soooo good! The place might be small but it's big on the "home away from home"/chill atmosphere!

The buffalo wings are on the spicier side so if you can't handle too much spice, you might want to skip this one. The catfish tacos were excellent. It comes with three tacos, each with a fried piece of catfish, sauce, cabbage slaw, and a slice of avocado. Service: Service was excellent. Our server constantly came back throughout the meal to see if we needed anything and cleared our empty dishes. Ambiance: This place isn't big, but they have booths that fit four to six people, a bar, and two smaller tables in the back. The place is dark and not too loud so it's perfect if you're looking for a quiet place to hang out. It is not ideal for large parties though because of their setup. They also have free board games available to play. Overall, I would recommend this place!

Great khachapuri, mediocre service, heavily overpriced…read more Our family visited Assaia restaurant in Sep 2024 to celebrate a birthday. Expectations were high based on good reviews, the menu, and the pictures, but unfortunately it turned out to be a 3-star experience :( Good The food was mostly very tasty and delightful. Some dishes were truly delicious (Khachapuri Adjaruli and Megruli, Elarji), others were good with some flaws. See details on each dish at the bottom. The atmosphere and ambience on the patio were nice. Bad We were seated on backyard patio, at metal tables with perforated surface with no table cloth. Later in the evening the oil from khachapuri dripped through the table holes and stained our clothes. Metal chairs were uneven with no pillows. The umbrellas above the tables were shabby with holes on top. I pre-ordered few appetizers and a bread. Appetizers were on the table and there were number of flies sitting on them which immediately made a bad impression. There was no bread and we didn't get it until much later when we were already eating. They didn't have any still or just tap water and no non-sparkling soft drinks except home-made "compote" from feijoa. No juice, no lemonade. One of us had to go out to a grocery store to buy some juice for kids. They only had Georgian mineral sparkling water "Borjomi". I don't mind "Borjomi", but kids won't drink it! For each bottle of Borjomi (small) we got charged $5. The entrees came all at different times so some people were eating and others were watching. At the end we were told there was no dessert available. None. The prices on some dishes were ridiculously high and all prices were substantially higher than ones listed on restaurant's website. The most bizarre prices were on chicken shish kebab of 5 pieces (big) at $20 with no side included, the side of French fries at $10, and pkhali trio (three little rolls of Georgian salads) at $22(!). Food ordered Adjapsandali (eggplant salad) - though looking good it was plain and tasteless. I tried the dish before in many different places and this adjapsandali was by far the worst. Pkhali trio (three little rolls of Georgian salads) - these were good, like you would usually get in a Georgian restaurant. Bazhe (walnut dipping sauce) with Chicken - the bazhe itself (sauce) was delicious and perfect. Chicken was dry, tough, and had a lot of bones. Elarji (Georgian cheese baked with corn flour) - this was excellent and was gone in no time! Best elarji I tried so far! Khachapuri Adjaruli - fresh, perfectly baked, generously filled with cheese - it was scrumptious! Perfect! We had to stir the egg and butter with cheese ourselves though... I would come to this restaurant again despite all the bads just to have this Adjaruli. Khachapuri Megruli - delicious, juicy, with tons of cheese! It was somewhat salty, but I liked it and I believe it's supposed to be like this. Megruli Kharcho - kharcho itself was great with good amount meat. Some meat pieces however were very tough and hardly chewable. We ordered two of this. For some reason one portion had mostly good and tender meat pieces while the second had mostly not chewable ones. Chakapuli (veal with tarragon and herbs) - this one was good and tasty, like you would usually get in a Georgian restaurant. Nothing extraordinary. No side included. Shkmeruli (chicken in white garlic sauce) - the sauce was delicious, but the chicken pieces were so bony there was almost no meat! And the portion itself was tiny (see the picture) though priced at $24. I'm sure it could be done better :( No side included. Khinkali (Georgian dumplings) with lamb - the filling meat and the broth were very tasty and flavorful. The dumplings however were too big and hence had too much dough for the amount of filling in them. Certainly not the best khinkali. Chicken Mtsvadi (shish kebab) - chicken was fresh, tender, and juicy. Our kids loved it! Not including fries or any side with it was shame. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant except just for a perfect khachapuri.

This is a very popular neighborhood spot that unfortunately was disappointing for me. I enjoyed…read moresome dishes more than others, but overall it was a bit lackluster. Overall, I would not go out of my way to come here or even wait for a table. I'd only consider eating here if already in the area and you're able to walk in. Ambiance / Service: casual ambiance. Very big spot for locals around the neighborhood. Lots of families with young kids. Tried walking in around 5:30pm on a Friday and it was PACKED. Service was friendly enough, but inattentive. Host told us it would be about 10 minutes for a table in the back but we could sit at the bar in the meantime. He then forgot about us even though we checked back in about the table and proceeded to seat people who came in after us. We ended up just ordering at the bar. Servers brought us the wrong dish and forget our side of jalapeños. Food: this was the biggest miss unfortunately. Nothing was inherently "bad", just missing seasoning. -Queso Fundido: added chorizo. This was by far the best thing we got. It's very greasy so beware, but it's so good. Cheesy, salty, oozy, savory goodness. -Guacamole: this needed more seasoning all around - salt, garlic, lime... it was bland. -Al Pastor Tacos: again, lacked seasoning. Was very bland and meat was dry. Would not order again. -Chicken Tacos: these were pretty flavorful. Nothing crazy, but I would order this again. -Side of Rice & Beans: nothing crazy here. Standard, but fine.

There are so many rooms here so a couple of us got lost looking for the salt cave room. The salt cave was kinda of small but so was the class size. They provide chairs/mats so you don't need to bring your own. Class did start late, which wasn't great since I had a busy day ahead. Also, they give you blankets to use since it gets cold but there's no laundry. Everyone just folded their blanket back and put it where they got it. When was the last time they were washed?

At first sight this place has a calming effect and atmosphere. The plants, simple wood decor and inviting interior welcomes you with open arms. I just loved this open space that seems ripe for socializing. I ordered two types of empanadas as I was told they are known for these. I got the organic chicken and the portobello mushroom. The first thing I noticed is that the crust has flaxseed and looks super healthy without any colors or preservatives. For $6.50 I found the empanadas to be a little small, and not as generous in the filling. The chicken empanadas could definitely use more chicken. The portobello mushroom filling was delicious, but I do think they need to dry it out a little bit before they fill it because biting into it, scalding hot liquid poured all over my face and that was not pleasant at all. The sauces that came on the side were absolutely delicious, the cilantro was so thick and delicious, and Herb-y and the chipotle sauce was also made very well with the smoky kick to it. Would that being said, the space is actually really beautiful and as a yoga enthusiast, I cannot wait to return here to try some of their Vinyasa yoga classes. If you are in the area, please drop in and check this place out, it's totally worth it.
