Maiden

We visited Maiden for my birthday, and we made the drive to Fort Worth from Frisco for the experience. This was our first time there, and we will be back! The food was absolutely delicious, like mouth watering. The kind of meal that you keep thinking about, because it was so good. The service is top notch. Our server was kind, informative, speedy, and she had a great sense of humor. It was obvious the staff enjoyed being there. The decor is cool, and upscale retro vibe. I cannot wait for our next visit!

My wife and I have been several times and have really enjoyed our experience each time. Our first visit was for my birthday last year. We did the wine pairing dinner and it was phenomenal. Our service here has also always been top notch. The servers are all very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the food. This to me speaks volumes about a restaurant when the people who choose to work there love to also eat there. The second time was for a happy hour. Drinks were excellent and our small bites were very tasty. We can’t wait to go back and try brunch and also high tea. You will not regret trying this amazing restaurant. It’s not only for vegans or vegetarians but also people who just enjoy amazing food, exceptional service and a relaxing atmosphere.

My husband and I drove all the way from Dallas to celebrate my birthday. We got the 8 course winter tasting menu that came with an opening brut, which was a nice surprise. We each also ordered a specialty cocktail. Everything was so delicious! And the cocktails were great too! It was a great experience, and since they seasonly change their menu were hoping to go again for the next season's menu.

Maiden is a beautiful restaurant with the ideal ambiance. The service was excellent. No complaints. I was really excited to have a fine dining experience as a vegan. It’s really hard to find an upscale restaurant catered to vegans. The ratings were very high, so I expected to have a great dinner. The blini amouse bouche was really good. The Crème fraîche was done really well. The soaked strawberry really elevated the amouse bouche. We started with the hush puppies and the charred artichoke. The hush puppies were recommended as one of the favorites on the menu. I would have to disagree, unfortunately. They were extremely dense and moist inside. I couldn’t tell if that was the goal or maybe they weren’t cooked long enough. The artichoke needed a bit of salt and pepper and it didn’t come out charred as advertised. The steak from the steak au poivre dish was the best of what we ate. The Brussels sprouts left little to be desired. They were served shredded and with some sauce on them. The taste seemed sour. Not like the Brussels were bad, but whatever it was coated with made the taste oddly sour. The salmon was second best in comparison to the steak. We didn’t take the risk of trying the dessert. So I can’t speak on that. Overall, I’d give the food a 3. I was excited, but I can say that I’m not sure that I’d give Maiden another chance unless I’m in the area and that’s the vegan option.

This was one of the best meals of my life! We came from out of town and did their tasting menu and I *still* think about the food I ate. I always hope they’re doing well as a business so that I can visit again next time I’m in Fort Worth. Unpretentious but sophisticated, DELICIOUS food. I would do close to anything for the recipe for that slow cooked cabbage dish, and I didn’t even like cabbage before I ate it!

Maiden is my absolute favorite restaurant! I come for special occasions and when I just want to feel great about what I eat. Adam is a fabulous server, knowledgeable, fun, and complements the meal with amazing service along with the rest of the Maiden team!

Shelby and Kendall ensured our night was an absolute joy! The food was beyond amazing, and it's genuinely inspiring to witness the culinary artistry the Chef has cultivated. We loved our first visit so much that we brought four friends with us for our second time around! The eclectic pairing was a definite highlight. We had so much fun exploring how each drink perfectly complemented the dishes, and we were pleasantly surprised by how the flavors evolved and deepened the more we enjoyed them together. We will definitely be going back for more!

My wife and I came for our Anniversary last week and this was the best Vegan Restaurant we’ve eaten at in DFW! Atmosphere was a 10! Our server Kendall was phenomenal!! Very knowledgeable about the menu and checked on us regularly. If you are looking for a great vegan restaurant, look no further!!

I am not a vegan. But my wife is kinda sorta thinking about it. Long story. Took her here for her birthday last week. I am giving it 4 stars mainly because while we had a great experience, I couldn't honestly say that I craved anything I had so much that would cause me to want to go back. It is a really nice place and the food was great, but all pretty expensive, at least for what we had. We did the 5 course meal with the wine pairings. And while there is some real artistry here with the food, nothing we had was something we need to ever have again. That sounds mean but I don't mean it. OK here's the details: Really cute place. Not that large, very modern and clean. The bar is small but just looking at it is like a work of art. We parked on the street just outside for free. The booths are small but nice - velvet-y seats, actual real candles which I appreciate. (Why places started using fake candles I'll never know - defeats their purpose). Waitress was super happy to explain it all to us which I appreciate. I've never done a blank-course whatever so this was new to me, but I've seen this on TV. Big explanations for each dish, genuine excitement for the diners. Sweet kid. The 5-course meal was nice because you don't have to think about what you're getting. Just sit down, experience the chefs artistry. Neat. Oh - when you make the reservation online you can enter some text - I said I don't like pumpkin or squash because it's a vegan place and it's the fall so I expected a big bowl of (gross) pumpkin soup or whatnot. You should know, as I now do, that doing a 5-course meal is not going to be anything like that. Each dish was very elegant with innumerable flavors to suss out. We had fun with each. We got the broth thing first - you'll see photos of that on here (not from me). It was super interesting and I'm glad the waitress told us what was in it because we had fun trying to find those flavors. The "cheese" plate was our favorite - super rich - do cut each into 4ths when eating - note the crust can be difficult to cut through elegantly but - we did say the next day these 3 different bites was our favorite thing. Oh - two dishes had impossibly thin cut potatoes/squash or apples in the case of the desert. That was nuts. We have been trying to guess how the hell they cut them so thin? Lasers? Alien technology!?! Pretty neat stuff. Loved all the different wine pairings. We bought 2 bottles to take home - which is awesome and more places need to do this. Don't worry - they don't sing happy birthday or anything goofy - the desert plate for my wife had Happy Birthday written out in sauce. Classy. Expensive! Quite. But, for a once in a lifetime experience, it was worth it. My wife was happy which is goal # 1 for me. But me, as a non-vegan, I thought it was all good, but I can't honestly recommend it really unless you are 1) vegan and 2) rich. We do plan on going back - they have a dog-friendly patio and a normal menu full of things we want to try. I want to thank the host and the waitress and the staff and especially the head chef for a truly great night!

A truly unforgettable culinary experience! Ambiance & Service: The restaurant has a modern and trendy interior. Warren went above and beyond as our server. He took his time to articulately explain the restaurants concept and each course. He was also incredibly friendly and attentive! Food: We did the 8-course seasonal tasting menu. Every dish was simply incredible! The courses included a red miso consommé, apple braised cabbage, saffron arancini, endive salad, potato vegan chicken entree, apple and banana granita palate cleanser, cheese course, and apple mille-feuille dessert. My highlights were the arancini and mille-feuille! We left perfectly full and very satisfied! TL;DR: Exceptional service, incredible tasting menu, and a memorable dining experience!

I was really disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. We tried the 8-course fine dining menu with the zero-proof pairing, but the food fell far short of expectations. Many of the dishes were extremely bland and lacked complexity, with one course being nothing more than raw string beans. Two of the zero-proof drinks were essentially just teas, which felt uninspired for a pairing menu. Given the simplicity of the food and drinks, the price felt exorbitantly high and completely unjustified. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place based on our experience.

Came again for my birthday this year! Still a lovely experience but unfortunately enjoyed my time and the food more last year. Would still recommend but a little high price point for the quality received!

We had the most amazing high tea experience here on a Saturday morning. We came at 11, as soon as they opened and had the place to ourselves! Chelsea was a wonderful server. I am so glad someone recommended me to come to high tea at Maiden. Really, you will be shocked that everything is vegan. The only item that made it seem different was not having honey. However, the chef has invented a "honey" syrup that copies the taste exactly! The consistency is more liquidy but satisfies your desire to sweeten your tea with a touch of honey. The tea selection was plentiful. There are so many herbal and caffeinated teas to choose from. A favorite of the table was the walnut green tea. We ended up trying all the teas on the menu, and we all kept going back to that one! I highly recommend ordering it. The nutty flavor was creamy and delicious! The food was exquisite. I loved the cucumber and chick pea (*chicken* salad) sandwich. Props to the chef on the *lox* sandwich made with a carrot slice. Truly creative and tasty. On the next tier, the biscuit with jam was unbelievable. Flaky pastry with the tastiest jam. I am still befuddled on how they made such a beautiful, flaky biscuit without real butter. Applause to the chef! Another stunner was... pickles! I know you might be surprised. They were fresh, crisp, and full of zingy flavor. I want more! If they sold by the jar, I would happily buy them. By far, my favorite dessert was the chocolate puff with coconut cream inside. All of the food was neatly presented and instantly had you salivating! I appreciated the small details like the candied orange peels and ginger. We were all surprised that we got full from tea time and even had a few leftovers. Service was attentive, and we had great conversation, too. My young toddler was with us, and she enjoyed everything! I can not say enough about tea time at Maiden. Weeks later, we are still talking about how much we enjoyed ourselves. I recommend everyone to come! The bathrooms are clean, well decorated, and have the best smelling soap. I asked our waiter about it, and Chelsea was kind enough to write down the name of it. The Ranger Station- Santalum. You can buy it at the barber next door. It became the perfect gift.

Stopping in at Maiden is always a treat! Grabbed a seat at the bar yesterday, enjoyed the cheese plate as well as the Lox & Salmon. Ventured out to try a pickle martini, which was quite tasty. Service is always top tier here! I've never had an unpleasant experience. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Also patient - it takes me a minute to figure out what all I want to try! Ambiance- Open space, clean, very vibey (if that's a word lol) Can't wait for the cooler weather, I'd love to sit on the patio! I must come back for tea time or a pairing dinner.

Words cannot express how amazing our experience was at Maiden Fine Plants & Spirits. My husband drove us all the way from San Antonio to bring me here for a surprise birthday dinner. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly host and were sat promptly for our 4-course tasting menu. Kendall, our personable server, was very knowledgeable and explained each ingredient of our food and drinks in great detail. We started with delicious, unique cocktails as we admired the mid-century modern motif. Our food & drinks were visually appealing like art work, almost too magnificent to be edible. We indulged our senses in the aromas and our palates were engrossed with unique flavor combinations. We were so impressed with our meal, that we took Kendall's advice and returned the next evening for more cocktails and to try the steak and frites. We knew this was an opportunity we could not pass up as this is the only TX restaurant that serves Chunk Foods vegan steak. This time, we sat at the beautiful bar and had the pleasure of Rosae helping us. We were too full from our meal for dessert, but took some amazing olive oil cake to go. We are not even vegan, but Maiden served a delectable cuisine. Chef Amy and team did a great job with all of the meticulous detail they put into this restaurant. This fine dining experience was an unexpected find. Definitely worth the drive, we cannot wait to return!

What a beautiful experience. Stick with me here, I loved it so much so I have a lot to say. Before I even entered I immediately loved the patio area. It's such a sweet spot, the way it's nestled under the overhang of the structure. The interior space is a striking retro vibe, but done in more modern tones. As day becomes evening they lower the lights and it's cozy and soothing. For some reason I really felt like I was in an upscale lodge in New Mexico. I mean, understand I've never been to New Mexico so I have no idea where the feeling came from. lol Trust me when I say my best friend and I are not wealthy, but sometimes you need to have a special experience, and we love food. Like... really love. This experience is not cheap and every add-on is additional, so I think our total before tax and tip was about $400 for the 8 course with eclectic pairing and two additional drinks. So anyway, cost aside, this experience was divine. My friend dressed nice, I wore a TCU t-shirt, jeans, and Vans. No one judged me, everyone was so warm from start to finish. The host helps serve the food and clear tables between courses (he was very attentive), the bartender offers tidbits on drinks and the glassware (which is beautiful, even the water glasses), everyone works together here to make this train run smoothly. Warren, the bartender was so nice, very welcoming. I ordered a drink before our 8 course tasting started. He is amazing. Those drinks, alcoholic AND the mocktails, were done so well. Bartending at a place like this really does take experience and skill. So the heart of this whole experience, the seasonal tasting menu. We did the 8 course menu and our... I'll call him a tour guide instead of server... our tour guide was Adam. He was such a lovely person. He was very clearly passionate about Vegan food, and he's also quite a fan of Chef Amy. Totally understandable, she's worthy of fandom. If you've ever been to Spiral Diner (shout out to the Mitch Tofu Club, I heart you), you understand Chef Amy gets vegan food. She knows how to flavor it, how to prepare it, and how to pair it. I learned during this experience that the comforting food I've grown accustomed to over the last almost 17 years since I discovered Spiral, can be elevated and not lose that comfort. I am not vegan or even vegetarian, but that's how special Chef Amy's food is, it breaks down barriers. (Dang, she's still got more to say?! Yes! Don't leave yet, you've come this far!) I'm not going to try to describe all 8 courses in this spring tasting menu. My mom is great at content descriptors and wordsmithing. I dabble but I wouldn't do them justice. I will list the courses (possibly out of order) and give my favorites: -Consomme - broth (favorite, the clearest, deepest consomme I've ever had) -Panko-crusted tofu patty (favorite) with cabbage (least favorite) -Beet, kale, and "feta" salad -Roasted parsnip with "marrow", toast, tomatillo jelly -Smokey "Brisket" main course on bed of quinoa with the most ridiculous blue corn tortillas (the tortillas were a favorite) -Palette cleanser, flavored ice -"Cheese" course, three toasts with different toppings (oh my word, two of the "cheeses" were from a company in Austin called Rebel and they were so good we're taking a trip to Austin to buy some, lol, but the"salmon" was tied for least favorite) -Dessert, an out of this world tart boat with duo of white chocolate cream and lemongrass lime curd and flash frozen blueberries and meringue (Favorite alert!!) I will come back for a cheese plate and Old Fashioned on the patio, and to see Adam again. Delightful human. I'm thankful I had this experience and I was sad the moment it was over.

I stopped in to visit the bar this past Saturday and I cannot wait to book a full experience! The restaurant, while intimate, is so lovely! One can tell that the decor was thoughtfully planned to add to the experience. Every single person I encountered was extremely professional and friendly. Our bartender, Bird, had such a calming, helpful and inviting demeanor and was very knowledgeable. I tried two cocktails, a daiquiri and an espresso martini, as well as the cheese plate and everything was phenomenal! I was especially impressed by the cheese plate as it was not only delicious but more than enough to satisfy two. Additionally, I got to peek at a few of the dishes as they went by and everything looked yummy! As a plant based eater, it is always a joy to dine out and not have to worry if a restaurant can accommodate your diet and to be able to have such a fine dining experience is amazing. I couldn't be happier that Maiden has landed in Fort Worth! I will certainly be back soon!

My BFF took me to Maiden to celebrate my birthday this year. She's vegan and knows that I enjoy plant-based foods and eclectic menus. The restaurant is very cozy. Not very large, but it is inviting and relaxing, which is important if you are there for a 3 hour tasting. The service was quite attentive. Each course was explained in great detail, which was very helpful. The food was amazing. The chef is brilliant. Cannot wait to go back and bring some other friends that would appreciate such an experience.

A phenomenal experience - what a privilege it is to have a restaurant of this caliber in Fort Worth. If you are familiar with Spiral Diner, Maiden shares the same ownership. Service throughout the night was wonderful, and ambience was nice and cozy. Food wise you have several options, ranging from 4/8 courses to a-la cart. We opted for the 8 course meal and spent about 3 hours at the restaurant. While it may seem like a while, the pace was calculated and on the money - around 10 minutes between each dish. For me, the highlight of the restaurant is the option for drink pairings- there is a wine pairing, non alcoholic pairing, and the true star of the show - the eclectic pairing, where they pair the food with the BEST drink pairing, which may not necessarily be wine. All in all I can't recommend Maiden enough - as I am writing this review I can't help but smile, as the staff has truly set the bar high for what a true fine dining experience in Fort Worth should be.

Customer service, food, and drinks were absolutely amazing. Quinn welcomed me with great spirit and offered to accommodate my every need. Rosé made me great off-the-menu drinks and kept great and enlightening conversation with me the entire time. Chuck also kept great conversation with me, and had the best smile. Warren answered a few of my questions promptly and with great enthusiasm. Definitely look forward to visiting in the winter and hopefully meeting Amy:)Jesus Loves you all.

This was a birthday lunch at a Vegan restaurant I've been wanting to try. We went for the Sunday Roast. I had the Wellington & gravy with roasted veggies, potatoes, and celeriac mash. Had my first Yorkshire Pudding. Best biscuit ever. My hubby had the chicken and it was so good. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was so chill. We had fried leeks for an appetizer and it was so good. We'll be back for the 8 course meal & I can't wait!

One of my best friends had her birthday get together at Maiden a while back. Myself and one other friend are gluten-free and we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had an entire gluten-free option for their tea time! Our server was awesome and very knowledgeable when it came to the specifications we needed. It was a very calm and chill environment as it was a Sunday and early in the day. I will be back!

We went for Sunday roast on Mother's Day. Beautiful atmosphere, fantastic service & fantastic food! Highly recommend- it was a wonderful experience with exclusive food. The cheese board was particularly tasty! We will definitely tetur

Unbelievably elegant experience. I never thought I'd ever be able to indulge in fine dining like this, having a plant-based diet. This restaurant changed that for me! Everything was to die for. I don't even like cheese usually and this vegan cheese was incredible. The service was top tier, and the ambiance was so tasteful. I cannot wait to visit Fort Worth again and try new items for the change in seasons! Compliments to the chef!

This is exactly what an upscale dining experience should be like. Service was incredible. Food was beautiful and packed with complimenting flavors. Warren was our server, he was a pleasant and poised individual. Even if you're not a vegan this restaurant is very much so a must try.

Enjoyed amazing flavor of food paired with tasting cocktail menu. Kendall was my server she was took the time to really share each dish flavor palette and take interest what was my favorite dish. She made the experience exceptional. Must visit for vegan tasting menu/

This place is really special! We don't have anything like it in our area and I've thought that for years when I've wanted to go out for a more upscale meal with my best friend who is vegan. Sometimes you don't just want a restaurant with a vegan option (that's probably salad lol). You want a restaurant where your vegan friends can eat everything on the menu! It is what the growing vegan community deserves. I went for their afternoon tea and was very impressed! It was adorable and their pastry chef Stacy is soo creative! One of my favorite bites was their take on a lox sandwich which had brined and smoked carrot slices, cream cheese, and capers on a mini croissant-like bread. The flavors created were so familiar yet very much their own. I enjoyed their fig jam thoroughly as well which featured a zero-proof alcohol. Their tea selection is so fun and extensive! I was surprised to find out that it is unlimited in their tea service. They have a gluten-free option for tea and like 10 zero-proof alcohol options! The restaurant is just so inclusive and I applaud them. Our waiter was chipper and knowledgeable. The interior is so refined and I was tickled that the restrooms smell like nice cologne and have a whole ambiance of their own. Overall it was a fantastic experience for a more than reasonable price! Dreamboats Donuts and Scoops is right next door and the beloved Spiral is across the street. It's a great location and I can't wait to come back and visit for dinner.

This review is for happy hour at the bar. We tried a few cocktails and got the parsnip fries. Everything was so good and we really enjoyed conversing with the bartender. The space is small and modern. You probably need a reservation because it's tiny with only a handful of tables. I would love to try their dinner service.

My Vegan daughter was excited to try this restaurant. The joy on her face alone was worth any amount, but frankly, I was disappointed. I have no complaints about the food or service, but it was outrageously expensive for what you got. She had the included non alcoholic pairing and I paid a supplement for the wine pairing. My first two wines were nice, but my last two were sakes! Not what I was expecting, nor did I enjoy them. Our meal started off with a bowl of 3 seeds, over which they poured a partial bowl of clear broth. Little did I realize this was foreshadowing. Next course was a piece of baked cabbage about the size of my fist. Our entree was nice, but again, it was 3 decorated gyoza floating in clear broth! The dessert was fun and fabulous, but there wasn't much on the plate. It also signaled to me, that it was over, after two small bowls of broth, three dumplings and some cabbage leaves! Thankfully, we added a cheese plate to our meal for an additional charge, which was the highpoint of this journey. Next time we'll skip the meal and just order the cheese plate and a glass of wine.

I cannot recommend this newer restaurant enough! The food is thoughtful, crafted beautifully, and is delicious!! I am not vegan. I love meat. But I totally forgot that Maiden is totally vegan. It's vegan food that is not pretending to be something else. I've had their summer season 4 course with paired zero alcohol cocktails, it was fabulous! I also just went today for their Saturday tea. Again, AMAZING! The staff, chef, bartender are all incredible. It is a calm and very comfortable atmosphere with the perfect music mix at just the right volume.

Amazing, such an Incredible experience, it was like an art museum but for my mouth, I loved it!!!

Ambiance and service is impeccable! Shelby was amazing at explaining each course as well as recommending cocktails. The food was outstanding.

By far one of the best fine dining experiences in DFW. You wouldn't even know that the menu is 100% vegan because the food + drinks are incredible. The service is always top tier and the overall vibe is elegant but relaxed.

Maiden is one of , if not THE classiest restaurants in Fort Worth. Small, intimate, welcoming ambiance, fabulous staff and simply amazing food.

Beautiful new vegan fine dining spot in an elegant setting. The menu changes seasonally and they do not share it in advance to enhance the mystery and theatre of the evening, so I won't spoil it by giving too much away. There were 8 courses, including soup, salad, cheese course, palate cleanser and dessert. You pay ahead at the time of booking your reservation. Many of the dishes are verbal or visual puns, (like vegan "bone marrow" in a parsnip). There is a lot creativity in the non-alcoholic cocktail menu which we appreciated as my spouse is sober and usually gets a glorified juice or lemonade. Excellent service, very attentive. It is expensive, but you can see where every dollar went in design, decor, ingredients and skilled labor. This is has the potential to rival Millennium in San Francisco and other great vegan fine dining places nationally and globally.

Really enjoyed our dinner at Maiden. The food was tasty, attractively plated and exceeded our expectations. Service was polished, and refined yet friendly. As the room filled up the noise level rose but we were still able to converse at our table. We tried a couple of the signature cocktails which were tasty but a bit too sweet for my taste. The wine we ordered (did not have pairing) was pretty good and priced right. It's a pricy night out but worth it. Supposedly the menu will adjust seasonally. We will return in the fall and check it out.

Amazing vegan fine dining right here in Ft Worth! Our night out at Maiden didn't disappoint. Every dish was well thought out and expertly prepared. Looking forward to enjoying dinner here again soon.

Amazing and so so beautiful! Food was completely personal to what we liked and their presentation was top notch! The chef came to greet us and take pictures! Drinks were exceptional! We will be back!

Just had a sublimely delicious 8 course gourmet vegan meal, with wine pairings, at Maiden Fine Plants and Spirits in Fort Worth. Perfect anniversary celebration. Server Bird was great. Chef Amy is amazing and the food, wine and ambience were perfect.

A restaurant full of hard working people who work to bring a loving and meaningful experience to you.

Maiden is an experience you ought not miss. From the moment we walked in the door, we knew it was going to be a special evening. I must say this is the prettiest of all the new restaurants in town. It's tranquil in a way few restaurants are. The music is actual background music that doesn't make having a conversation impossible. It's like being in a swanky lounge, listening to Frank Sinatra in the next room. This is the first restaurant Ive been to in years that's got the noise level right for a comfortable conversation. The staff is impeccable, the decor is lovely, the cocktails are delicious, even the glass and silverware are out of the ordinary. The patio is charming, the whole experience is just lovely. The food is beautiful and beautifully served. You can feel how much thought went into every little detail, from the complimentary glass of sparkling wine at the start of the evening to the lovely little olive oil cake in a special box to take home. I highly recommend an evening at Maiden.
