Fantastic dining experience! Loved every single course. Location is a bit hard to get to but it is a cute antique locale and town. Teres Major beef is to die for!

It's always a pleasure to dine at Maize - although much depends on who is there at the same time-because it is so small. This week, the choice was short ribs or red snapper, both beautifully prepared but expensive at $85 Prix Fixe for a three course meal. Perfect for a special occasion.

Wow. For anyone looking for a first-class and different kind of restaurant experience, you gotta love Maize! We happen to love the Chef's Tasting Menu way of dining out, and this chef and his staff consistently deliver truly chef-inspired dishes, expertly prepared and exquisitely presented. The service team is attentive, knowledgeable and very capable. Outdoor garden patio seating is on the way, as we understand it, and cannot wait for that to be a reality. Way to go . . . you guys are doing awesome things - keep it up!!

My second time coming here for my birthday. Food is phenomenal and the service is excellent. It is very loud due to no linens on the tables so be prepared. They all signed a birthday card for me which is a sweet surprise. Can't say enough how amazing the experience is..

We have been here several times in the past two years. The menu is always fresh and creative. Our smoked bison ravioli with slow roasted sunchokes was brilliant!Vegetarian options: If you tell them ahead of time any dietary restrictions, they will attend to that.

We are still talking about this amazing dining experience. Black Bass caught THAT DAY! Everything was just superb. Our server Liam was incredibly helpful and lovely. The food is like the highest form of culinary art. The attention to detail (biscuit home made of course comes with fresh butter and honey). This is warm and wonderful food prepared with the utmost care. Bravo.

I've been here twice, and every meal has been incredible. The quality is always tremendous, but the creativity is off the charts. It's a must if you haven't been.

Have to admit, the not knowing what the menu was ahead of time caused some apprehension. But each dish was amazing. We got the 5 course tasting. The dishes were elegantly plated with and such care. We had a lobster dish first. Then cod dish. I can't remember the accompaniments but they fit and were delicious. The meat dish was a veal osso bucco served with the marrow filled bone. The only thing I didn't care for was the palate cleanser which was a raspberry sorbet and pear with red wine poured over it. I do not like wine at all, so I could have done with just the sorbet which was very good but couldn't taste it because the taste was covered up with wine. The dessert was a beet cake with chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream. Don't care for beets, so I really could have passed on that. But that's not a diss. I just hate beets. A piece of chocolate cake would have been better. Overall we were very impressed and will definitely go back next season to see what is next! Highly recommend!

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. They will accomodate you if necessary. I do not like seafood (except for scallops), so they gave me a choice of scallops or another meat course. I choose scallops and they were amazing! We left stuffed. due to price we only go once a year (on a very tight budget), but worth it every time.
Outstanding experience. Relaxed setting with a great tasting menu style. First time there, will definitely be back. Don't forget to BYOB for 2.5 hours. We went Cab, Pinot noir, Sav Blanc, and Riesling to cover all our bases.

An amazing experience and fantastic food. They catered to my wife's dietary restrictions. They offered house made sodas which were so original and tasty. Key lime soda was the best. Couldn't recommend this restaurant higher! I will definitely be going back.

It was our first time there and our server MJ was awesome, every dish was delicious and we already are planning our next date night out to come back and try out another amazing menu from the chef.
This was our first time at Maize. We had a table close to the front door. It was a cold night every time the door opened we felt a blast of cold air. It would be nice if the owners placed a canopy as many restaurants in Jersey City do in the winter to diminish the amount of cold air that comes into the restaurant when the door to the restaurant opens.
