Hook gets wrong hours, F-bomb
by Hawes Spencer
Someone claiming to be associated with Maya, the restaurant reviewed in this issue, pointed out that we botched the restaurant’s hours (totally this editor’s and not the reviewer’s fault), insisted that his restaurant used fresh whipped cream, dropped an F-bomb, and left. We do apologize about the whipped cream disbelief but particularly for the wrong hours. From maya-restaurant.com, here are the right ones: Maya’s bar is open 4:30pm to 2am daily. Maya’s kitchen is open from 5 to 10pm Sunday through Thursday and 5 to 11pm Friday and Saturday.
Now that he’s
Fresh cream makes me swear, too.
Is that going to be the Hook’s regular food reviewer? I know nothing about him, but I hope he will work on expanding his reviews beyond laundry lists of “we ordered this, then she ordered this, then we had this…”.
It makes for less than thrilling reading.
I guess it is true. No one can make a mistake without completely being butchered for it. God knows that everyone else doesn’t make a mistake.
The menu looks awesome.
I am glad they have a vegetarian option on the menu (which sounds like it might be quite good), but they should at least spell it correctly…It’s “seitan,” not “sietan.”
Honestly, I was thinking about Maya for this evening’s dinner, because by and large Oldham made the food sound very good, but now the f-bomb/blow-up over the whipped cream and the hours of operation–does everyone in the restaurant business think they have to talk like Anthony Bourdain? there’s a lot of really nice restaurants in town. I think I don’t have to give my money to one like that, no matter how good the food is.
Richard, are you familiar with the genre of a restaurant review? It pretty much boils down to “we ordered this, it tasted like this.” I thought it was well-written and not full of pretentious wish-I-were-a-novelist crap.
Good luck finding a table anywhere this weekend, Cecil. With the influx of graduation traffic, we may both be standing in long lines.
Well, your review of the place was pretty effing awful. Get a new food reviewer or I’m moving to the C-Ville.
Nev31, what was wrong with the review in your mind?
Maybe the person from Maya is practicing for next year’s edition of “Hell’s Kitchen.”
