    Mussels
    Michelle H.

    What a gem! Came here for the first time on a Friday night for dinner, I highly suggest to make reservations, this place gets packed! 5/5: The decor is super cute! You walk in and you feel like you are at home! Seating is outside, inside and near the bar. 5/5: Waitress was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. 4/5: I wanted to try everything! My husband and I ended up getting to share the bowl of mussels that came with bread. I love the juices that they made with the mussels, it goes really well with the bread! I ended up getting the Maple Soul Cajun Shrimp & Grits ($26). The bowl was massive and I couldn't finish it all (easily shared by 2). I really enjoyed the flavors, not too overwhelming or overpowering. My husband had the pasta with fish and shrimp. Sadly, he didn't enjoy his dish as much as I enjoyed mine. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and somehow the fish was undercooked. They serve wine and beer only. The beer list is pretty extensive! I really enjoyed the Cab I got. Overall, I will happily be back to try more dishes and save room for dessert!

    Everything about Maple Soul is perfection! We stayed in Rochester for a few days and were recommended Maple Soul by our hosts. We made a reservation (definetly recommend as they're very busy) and went there our first night. The restaurant is so cozy and we were seated near the open kitchen so it was pretty great getting to watch the chefs prepare all of the amazing meals. Every single dish that we ordered was delicious. I will think about the Mac and cheese for years!

    If I could give more than 5 stars, this restaurant deserves it! Hostess/owner was such a pleasure to deal with. She made sure we were comfortable from the moment we walked in the door until we left. The waitress was top notch. She gave her recommendations at our request and we were not disappointed. The food (Cajun Shrimp & Grits and Baby back Ribs) came to us fresh and hot! I can not even describe how good the food was. The starter, Beets & Goat Cheese and dessert, Maple crème Brûlée were perfect. We watched the chefs prepare the meals in an open kitchen. We felt like we were eating at someone's home. I can not give enough kudos to this amazing establishment. If ever we are back in the area (we live out of state), we would definitely go back! Thank you for an amazing Anniversary dinner and experience...one we won't forget!

    Cabot mac & cheese; caesar salad with shrimp; mussel appertizer, with a piece of foccacia bread on the side
    Shonda P.

    The meal was very disappointing. Based on the other reviews we expected so much more. Perhaps we went there on an off night. - We ordered beef tips. They were rubbery, chewy, and flavorless. "One of the worst meals I've ever had," my spouse said. - I eat Cabot cheddar almost every day so I expected the Cabot cheddar mac & cheese to be just as good as my daily obsession. The cheese sauce was a great consistency and the noodles were cooked well, but the the star ingredient did not hit the mark. I was astounded by how little flavor there was. Adding salt and pepper at the table did not help enough to salvage this dish. - We ordered two salads, a side green salad and a caesar salad. The side salad was decent; it had lots of veggies and met expectations. The caesar salad was boring. Didn't know the dressing was on the bottom of each bowl until we had already noshed on bare leaves. The caesar dressing was very thick (mayonnaise consistency) and tasted overwhelmingly like roasted garlic. - We also had a gnocchi dish with chicken, arugula, mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes. The gnocchi looked homemade. Overall, this was a good dish. - We had a mussels appetizer served in a broth with focaccia on the side. This was the best dish on the table. The bread had great texture and was nicely grilled. Our complaint with the mussels was how it was served. It came to the table in a bowl but we were given appetizer plates to eat it on. A dish with broth can not be enjoyed on a plate with a fork and knife! It should have been served with a bowl and spoons. I love farm to table but unfortunately would not return to this restaurant.

    Impeccable heirloom burrata
    Wai L.

    Charming town with an amazing farm to table restaurant. What a wonderful food experience at a family establishment. It was so good our party came back a second night in a row. Apps Fried green tomatoes - outstanding. Must try. So flavorful and delicate. Heirloom burrata - the tomatoes were shining on their own but the burrata was a knock out. Main Rack of ribs (half rack is sufficient if you get an app but if you have a hearty appetite you can prob polish off an entire rack) Chicken was tender with a fine crisp to the skin. Gnocchi had a sauce that was dangerously good Desserts Rhubarb pie - out of this world. Claim it early. Their supply ran out before our second night We also went gaga for their craft beer selection, with 8 drafts and a cellar list. They clearly know what they are doing. We would have gone back a third day but they were closed on Sundays.

    Poached plum & barata app

    8/5 stars ;) my husband and I loved Maple Soul! Delicious food, awesome service and wonderful staff, relaxing atmosphere. We had the poached plum & barata, Mac n cheese and gnocchi! Jen our bartender was very kind and helped make suggestions regarding the menu. Everything is farm to table and most food is made right there. All the beer and cider were local in VT, NH and ME which we love! We'd absolutely go back if we're in the area again

    Homemade gnocchi
    Dreck W.

    Wow. As you can see from my reviews, I have eaten in alot of different cities...so I'm not "small town" or "one city" when it comes to food. This place shocked me on a hiking trip I took to Vermont this time. Very low key and definitely small town in atmosphere, with the farm to table look and feel. But get ready.. Maple soul will blow your expectations away. Just crazy good Pictures are not even close to how good it was. Prices are exceptionally fair..waitress was friendly and pleasant and owner was so interesting to watch as he led the crew in the open kitchen. A++ (reservations needed..dinner only)

    Ricotta gnocchi

    The food here is unreal, we had such a good time at dinner last night. Our server was super sweet, an older couple celebrating Valentine's Day were next to us filling us in about the area, and the portions were great. The food was so fresh. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area!!

    Lemon blueberry pie
    robbie w.

    Eveything was amazing! We got the corn fritters (hush puppies) and the corn bread. Who asked, the corn bread blew away the hush puppies. I'd just add more corn in them and they'd be fire. We also got the mac and cheese with chicken which was amazing. Then as you can see the lemon blueberry pie which was to die for... it melts in your mouth. I'd give this place 6/5 starts and it's super cute being inside a home and the owners and workers are super super friendly. If your in the area, and YOU DONT STOP, you might have to check up with your doctor but again amazing and go with the CORN BREAD! And the lemon blueberry pie

    Well, here we go again. Yes, I went to Eddie F's again today and this time took my wife. She had…read morethe Fish & Chips and I had the Grilled Haddock. I'm more attracted to non-fried food so the Grilled Haddock was right up my alley. This time I had that with the side order of baked beans and macaroni salad. Again I was not disappointed. My wife gave me the thumbs up on her food also. So I guess I did good. I read the review about the cleanliness. Let me say this, this place is clean. I'm sure they have food inspectors that come in and if it was not able to pass, it would not be open. On the other review which they gave one star, I don't know when this individual called in an order but must understand that you only have a certain amount of people working, trying to please their customers so you have to give them a break. Obviously they don't want to lose customers. If it is a certain time when people are calling in phone orders and coming inside for take out, things happen. Nobody is perfect unless you walk on water. I have been telling a lot of people about this place. Thank God I'm retired and can go there anytime I want. Now I don't have to make seafood at home anymore. The only thing I'll continue making at home is the baked Salmon. Going two days in a row, I guess I'm trying to make up lost time since he has opened up. I'm good with that for sure!

Could have split one order of haddock between two of us as we got the clam strips as an appetizer. We'll go again! The waiter ran my to go box out to our car. I'd left it on the table.

The hostess was incredibly personable and sweet. I'd had a crap day and really just wanted a beer. It was 5 minutes to close. I figured it wasn't going to happen, but I figured I'd look at their draft menu for the next day and get an idea of what I'd want to eat when I come back. Not only did they take great care of me and get me a MUCH needed beer, but when I came back to eat the next day it got even better! I couldn't decide which beer I wanted. The girl was SO nice and gave me half of each. Good call, because I definitely liked one more than the other! Now HERE is the BEST PART: the worthy burger. Sweet Jesus. I heard angels. Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. Ever. The bun was perfect and THOSE PICKLES! The cheese was perfectly melted. Just the right amount of secret sauce. Did I mention the pickles were amazing? I also ordered truffle fries with Parmesan and a kid size order of the Mac and cheese. Because real cheese. They weren't bad. The truffle fries were on the milder side, but tasty. Maybe a little soft. Pro tip: get the pesto aoli to dip! I like homemade Mac and cheese and I hardly ate more than a few bites. I had heard great things but eh. Maybe I was just in love with the burger! I didn't get a picture. My phone died and I couldn't wait do yourself a favor- get the worth burger with some extra pickles on the side!
