"Let me start by saying I love this restaurant. I have had many good experiences at Red Maple, but they dropped the ball on Valentine 's weekend. I made a reservation for Saturday the 13th at pm. We arrived on time and were seated right away. The restaurant was busier than it usually is, but this is no excuse for poor service. The waiter kept apologizing (complaining) that his other table was very needy and I tried to give the guy a break as I am a very low maintenance customer. However I felt as if we were being ignored in favor of the needy table. The waiter passed us several times to take care of the other table while we waited patiently for his return. When he did come to us, it was brief and if we didn 't speak quickly he was gone before we could blink. We ordered wine and appetizers that came out almost immediately. Our entrees also came fairly quickly. I ordered an 8 oz fillet cooked medium with a side of green beans as I always do. The steak came out a little over cooked and I was ok with that but THEY PUT STEAK SAUCE ON TOP OF MY STEAK WHICH I DID NOT ASK FOR AND RUINED IT. But I scraped it off and ate it as it is wasteful to send food back. My green beans came out as snow peas. Again the waiter was gone in a flash. When I inquired the waiter informed me they were out of green beans and the kitchen took it upon themselves to sub. I was not informed prior or offered another side. My girlfriend ordered a second glass of wine which never came. We were promptly presented with the bill with no question as to how our meal was or if we would like coffee or desert as per usual restaurant protocol? I had to have him remove the second glass of wine from the bill, and also add a bread pudding which we took to go. The food itself is great but my order was wrong and the service was very poor. Not the experience I am used to paying for here. I work very hard and when I want to spend my money at a nice place like this I expect top notch service and quality."

"I rarely write a review that's not 4 or 5 stars, but this was so disappointing. Value this is the reason for the 2 stars I'm giving. There is salad, soup, bread with your entree. The salad is your standard house salad fare, very bland, the chowder is unremarkable enough that I'm not sure whether or not it was canned vs. made in house. People say the bread is fresh in house but I am very doubtful of that. It seems like your standard scali bread you can find anywhere. It wasn't particularly warm or flavorful. Mashed potatoes were rustic style, but again lacked seasoning and were lukewarm. Veal Oscar lobster tail was not served for table presentation (back and along the shell) and the meat was tough, and tough to remove, and the sauce was not hollandaise. Not sure what I'd call it, but not hollandaise. Veal was cutlet and not medallion cut, and tasted more of the flour it was dredged in that its gravy which was (like most everything else) unremarkable. Husband had the prime rib which also lacked seasoning, and the mushroom caps which were in a wine sauce that was not disclosed on the menu, oddly sweet, and disconnected feeling from the dish. Our waitress was... what I would call very neutral towards us. There was nothing egregious about her service but all in all it was pretty lackluster. The restaurant itself is very clean and presentable. Bar side was very busy maybe the fare on the pub side is better but the fine dining experience claimed on the door and suggested by the menu is just not here. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5"
