The Red Maple

First time getting the Redfish with the sauce on the side. The redfish was cooked perfectly and the seasonings were excellent. The sauce was very good but I used very little because the fish itself stood out. Perfectly cooked green beans. Definitely will get this again. Yum yum. The gumbo was a thin dark brown roux with very little meat. There was a seasoning in it that I just didn't like. I cannot remember or think what it is but it over powered the gumbo. Hard pass. The hamburger steak had some of that seasoning from the gumbo but definitely not as much. The mashed potatoes were definitely made fresh and creamy. The mushroom gravy for the hamburger steak and mash was very good. The green beans were steamed/boiled with a little snap left in them. Perfectly done.

This place has old school Elegance. The busser Dylan helped us so much with all steps. Brett our server knocked it out of the park too. He took very good care of us. We had three of my very favorite things. Whenever somebody says where should I eat in New Orleans I say you have to try The Red Maple restaurant in Gretna it is worth the drive from The busy stuff. Absolutely nothing disappointed. They've really done some cute stuff with the patio outside. They've opened for lunch on Thursdays and Fridays which is such a treat! Wednesdays and Thursdays are steak nights and our 18 Oz ribeye was $39 with mashed potatoes and a house salad. Totally worth it. I didn't take a picture of the bread pudding because it's not warmed up yet. If I think about it I'll come add it.

This place was wonderful! It had every kind of NOLA fare you wanted available on their menu. The service was awesome. Manager stopped by a few times to ensure everything was great. And the ambiance is adorable. It has a cottage feel with a courtyard that is decorated and a great opportunity for a photo op!

Great food and great service, went for a company dinner prior to Christmas (23) will be back and take my wife for dinner.

The food is fantastic!! Great atmosphere! The staff is kind, courteous, and very professional!

Food - great. Service - terrible. Our waitress was an older woman with curly black hair (wish I got her name) who had the nastiest attitude. I'd go back, but I'd make sure this woman wasn't serving us again. Ambiance - kind of loud, dimly lit. Could be a good place for a date night. For a very nice dining option, I'd definitely go with other places first.

We had reservations for 5:30 and we arrived right on time. It took awhile to find someone to seat us but eventually we did. The table that we were seated was incredibly small, right next to the bar (which was very loud) and right near the entrance door. Once we we seated, we waited and we waited and we waited for a server to even acknowledge us. Finally, our server came over and told us that she'd be right with us. She then proceeded to go to the other end of the bar where she had been since we had sat down, she was having a great time with a couple of the customers at the bar. Btw, she could see us waiting while she was chatting away and having a good time. By this time, we had been waiting for 15 minutes and got up to leave. We first found a manager who did absolutely nothing to convince us to say. They had two large party's coming in and that's definitely what they were focused on.

As far as New Orleans food goes. It's better than most. A bit heavy on the butter in every dish. Service was lackluster. We were not regulars there and felt like they couldn't care less about us. Everything was overpriced. It used to be a very good restaurant, but it's gone down.

Charming old restaurant with a germanic flavor. Food cook to perfection and attentive service. It has been awhile since I visited this restaurant and I am very glad I went back to eat there recently. Liked so much, that I went back again today. At lunch time, the restaurant has a lunch menu and at dinner time it has an expanded menu. However, if you make a selection out of the regular menu it is okay. On my first visit I had the most delicious beef brisket served with cabbage, potatoes and carrots. The dish was absolutely top notch! The beef was super tender. On my second visit, I tried the fried catfish and shrimp platter. The fried was on point and awesome! The Red Maple is definetly a place to go to in any occasion.

My husband and I dined at The Red Maple this evening. They were offering a 16 oz steak for $35.00. My husband opted for this selection. I must say the steak was exquisite and tender. We were both pleasantly surprised. In my opinion, it surpassed the quality of Ruth's Chris and Fleming's steaks. We will certainly return. If you find yourself in the area on Tuesday or Wednesday, I highly recommend giving it a try.
