This is a terrific, hip restaurant with good service, cozy atmosphere and delicious food. I love the use of local produce and farm-raised fish: the catfish and trout are always tender and perfectly prepared. As a Charlottesville local who eats out often, I have found Maya to be a breath of fresh air. It's a delightful place to share an... more

I am a big fan of this place, however it is quite expensive there fore I go on Tuesdays where they have selected entrees at $12 a pop. The selection is pretty big and the sides are quite filling. Everything I have had here is extremely tasty. I would recommend it to anyone, but only on Tuesdays. more

Maya is a bit hard to track down. It isn't listed in any of the official tourist guides of Charlottesville, and I knew of it only through Trip Advisor. It's located just outside the University of Virginia's campus area, and the university vibe is quite apparent. Parking is on the street, but on a Sunday evening, we had no difficulty... more

If you want to meet the local and get the scoop this is a good place to start. It's basic food done well. I think the best place to sit is the bar but many like the patio. more

I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes served with pickled red onoin and pimento cheese for an appetizer, the beef tenderlion (each bite is melt in your mouth wonderful) with a side of whipped red bliss potatoes... more

My wife and I sayed in the Courtyard by Marriot (see my review of hotel) and because the hotel restaurant was closing early we walked to the Maya, for an evening meal. What a fortunate experience. The meal we ordered was of a very high standard. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, offering us advice (being non-USA residents) on... more

The food here was awesome. Apparently they use only local, fresh ingredients so the menu is always changing. I had free range chicken and my boyfriend had beef tenderloin. Both were outstanding. Everything was perfectly cooked and the green beans tasted like they had been picked that morning! The menu included a wide variety of wines. I believe we were... more

Delicious, nice atmosphere, on the pricey end. I still miss Southern Culture's $6 Monday night menu. more
