    We ordered fried green tomatoes, Red Snapper Jambalaya & seafood gumbo. The fried green tomato breading and shrimp ceviche/red remoulade/goat cheese/poblano jelly toppings for the scrumptious 4 slices were NOT too much! They all complimented those tasty tomatoes!! My daughter’s entree had a spicy collard green topping that was scrum-de-li-icious!!! I could only taste the greens and snapper because the heat was next level, but she LOVED it🥰 MY GUMBO was as delicious as it has ALWAYS been when dining at Maple Tree💥 The cocktails 🍹 were to die for and….the beignets…OMGOSH😘😘

    I am a huge NOLA fan and Mapletree Inn is the closest thing that I have to the real thing! Food was delicious and the service mirrors the warm southern hospitality that you receive in NOLA.

    Celebrated fat Tuesday at Maple tree inn and it was awesome. Live music with lots of horns. These scallop with Mornay sauce was absolutely delicious with the toast points. The snapper with seafood etouffee and sauteed greens was amazing. My friend had the fried chicken and it was equally delicious. Wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Stop by if you get a chance.

    This was our first time at the new location. It has a completely different vibe, but very nice. My only complaint would be I made reservations letting them know I had recently had a surgery & be using a walker and when we were seated it was all the way at the very back of the restaurant which was very challenging let alone disappointing. The service was great, the food was very good.
