    Delicious lunch in the beautifully decorated Hotel Bethlehem. Started with the New England Clam Chowder followed by Duck leg pot pie and Ricotta Gnocchi followed by Cherry Cobbler. Drinks were Appletini with Caramel and a Woodford Rye old fashion. Our server was excellent. Can’t wait to return!

    Wonderful dining experience at La Maya. Cool vibe, delicious food, perfect margarita, great service and they took good care of me for my birthday celebration. We ordered trad guac, lamb, branzino, corn ribs and beans. All delish, lamb was quite spicy, fine for me, but may not be for some. Choice of dessert for birthday. I chose churros, least favorite of everything. Kind of dry and bland. A bit pricey, but def worth it for special occasion. I will def return when in the mood for upscale, inventive Mexican.
