Restaurants near The Maple House by the Sandbanks

Great food, ambiance and service. One of out top choices in PEC

We were first time visitors and the experience did not start off great. We had reservations in the dining room, but did not know the front area was the bar and had it's own Hostess. They were busy, but we were the only people in line with the four staff members working the area pretending they didn't see us, or it wasn't there job. I finally had to wave one of them down, only to be told we were down the hall. Some signage could have saved us standing there, and a better reception would have avoided us standing there forming a negative opinion before the night even started. Once finding our way to the Dining Room, again we were the only ones in line and reception from the Dining Room hostess wasn't much better. It was a little strange. Once in and seated, our experience and impressions flipped 180degrees. The service was both pleasantly and perfectly attentive. The food was excellent. It is not cheap, but neither did we feel it under delivered. On a crappy Monday night, approaching Christmas, the place was VERY busy - surprisingly so. Although, the place is smallish which certainly adds to the noise levels. We will look forward to returning and will certainly be mindful when we do of how we are greeted by the hostess.

Wonderful restaurant. Delicious food. Impeccable service.

It was exceptional as usual. Our favourite place to dine. Highly recommend!

Very Nice Spot. Dining Room has an old time Farmhouse / Cottage like feel to it. It was busy on a Friday night approaching Christmas, so perhaps more noisy than normal. Food was very good with some uniquely cool features to choose from. Everything was very good, although I could not call anything exceptional. ....correction; the coconut cream pie is EXCEPTIONAL. While there is lots of parking, very little of it is in immediately close proximity. It was also on the expensive side, not to the point of regretting the experience, but certainly to the point of 2nd guessing how quickly we would go back. I wonder if we can buy the pie to go.
