Fodor's Review:

Theatrical, stylish Red Maple doesn't even have a sign out front. Instead, it's only marked with a small maple-tree icon on the front door. Inside, the striking, minimalist space is warmed by a fireplace, candlelight, and sumptuous suede banquettes. The food is equally arresting: Asian-inspired tapas, artfully conceived and beautifully presented. Small plates such as wild mushroom and asparagus dumplings and shrimp and mango tapas are inexpensive, but it's easy to run up your tab because each is so compelling.

Throughtout any modern clubber's life there come moments, when all seems lost to boredom and snobbism. Been there, done that. But the owners of "Red Maple" certainly surpass this obstacle with ease! After all, where else would you expect to experience "face-control" in its purest, most obnoxious form? Here, the thrill is practically guaranteed to anyone with a foreign accent (Arabic or Turkish accents excluded). And if, by chance, you also happen to be a female, or better yet, a woman traveling from a non-English speaking country, you are particularly in luck - denied admission on the basis "because I just don't like you!" is guaranteed. Forget the more-than-mediocre food and overpriced drinks - this is truly a dinner and a show for anyone attending. I should warn you, though, that this specific performance is rated R, since the door manager has no problem exercising his cursing vocabulary in your direction - but hey, if you enjoy being referred to as an "a-hole", or a "sl-t", this is definitely your kind of a scene!

Pros: Aside from the convenient location, hard to think of any

Cons: The service is not just horrible - it is lawsuit-worthy!
