It's an improvement from the original Mapleside restaurant, but anything is an improvement on what used to be here.
I attended my cousin's bridal shower here and was hopeful for the new menu. The pulled pork was great, but cold. The chicken salad was okay. There was only one server assigned for our party. She was fabulous, but obviously some help would have been great for her. Replenishment was slow because no one was there to help our poor server.
The bar service was also incredibly slow. The bathrooms were a mess and only had two stalls.
Another downside was the fact that there was plenty of parking in the main lot, but due to the festivals we had to park in the field across the street. Ever lug a giant wedding shower gift through a field and across a busy street? Not a great time. Had the business accommodated the shower that had been booked here months ago, I would have given more stars.
It has potential, but I'm not sure if I'll be back. I live relatively close to this restaurant; however, Mapleside is always having festivals. I'm stuck in their traffic for nearly 20 minutes every weekend when I need to get somewhere that's on Pearl Road. I wish they'd expand their parking situations before playing host to festivals every weekend.
