The Maple Leaf Tavern is as enjoyable as dining out gets.
The new renovation is beautiful, with incredible attention to detail (the lettering on the menu's, the stir sticks...). It's all very sophisticated without being stuffy or overwrought. They really nailed the tavern vibe.
But it's the food that truly sets this place apart. The menu is fairly straightforward, but everything is made to such a high standard that every plate, from the glazed carrots to the grilled beef, is exceptional. Even something as simple as bread & butter are elevated to something deliciously memorable.
The beer and wine selection is solid (some nice craft beer options), and the Rye and Ginger on tap is particularly tasty - honestly, I don't know how you'd not have an incredible experience here. Already looking forward to my next visit.
