Maia - West Hollywood

Came here on a Wednesday for Happy Hour with my close friend. The portions are wayyyyy tiny, but so delicious!

We loved our visit to Maia! They made a CA roll for our daughter, and we had a lot of wonderful veggie dishes (the sides are excellent). Wonderfully fresh sashimi.

Just dreadful food. They need a new Chef. Now! Impeccable service and the management was wonderful and understanding. The drinks were tasty and strong enough. The food, however, was inedible.

Had a lovely time with old friends at Maia. The hostess (Toria, I believe) immediately met me with a warm and genuine smile, struck up conversation, and we giggled while walking to the table like old girlfriends...then she gave me the best table outside right next to the heater!! Amazing. Then, drinks and food came which were just as delightful. This was my second time here, definitely better than my first where the waitress was slightly awkward and not skilled at analyzing when is best to interrupt conversation to ask questions.

Great food and happy hour cocktails, and great decor with outside seating. But the tecno music and the crowd that arrived later was a turn off for my taste.
