Please AVOID. The website pictures and a la carte dining description are totally misleading. We booked our company Christmas do through the website, a la carte dining, thinking we were gonna experience a premium dining experience, unfortunately it turned out to be the very opposite.
On arrival there was no one at the doors reception,
Security staff try several times to get the hostess to the door reception with not success. After 10 minutes of waiting in the freezing cold we decided to just head downstairs to the restaurant as the upstairs looked like some kind of drinks, disco bar, so obviously not the dining area we had booked for, or so we thought.
Once downstairs at the restaurant ( very small, only a handful of tables with a bar area in the middle ), someone who looked like kitchen staff checked our reservation, only to be told our table was upstairs! ( the disco bar ). Now we are a bit confused but we head upstairs as told.
We were seated in a tiny table surrounded by people who obviously were there for drinking not dining , and were handed over a brunch menu?! ( 7:30pm ).
I can only describe the vibe as some cheap wine bar/clubby place with some dj standing in the corner blasting dance music. Bar staff just standing around doing nothing, just chatting and laughing.
At this point our patience was running out and we all agreed we had been misled and after checking our booking twice, to ensure we hadn’t made a mistake booking a la carte dining ( we hadn’t) we decided to leave.
Now we are scrambling to find an alternative on Open Table. Fortunately we got a table at Gordon Ramsey Lucky Cat restaurant 5 minutes down the road, and oh boy, that was definitely a premium dining experience, amazing food, amazing service, atmosphere was great , Maya actually did us a massive favour in the end!.
If you still decide to book Maya for dining we strongly suggest you call them in advance to ensure you are 💯 being booked at the restaurant and not the party bar upstairs, but still, we suggest you think twice before booking.
