Maia - West Hollywood

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.

Great ambiance, unfortunately the most average food. Very small portions, over priced. No dish worth coming back for. No amount of ambiance can overcome the poor food quality.

A bit too expansive for what it is. Basically a sushi restaurant with a few extra appetizers. Not bad but not a place I'll go out of my way to visit.

Sushi definitely overwhelming compared to roku, sugarfish etc. Not worth the price Waitress would disappear for extended periods of time.
