The restaurant offers incredible vegan and vegetarian options along with delicious cocktails. We particularly enjoyed the coffee/lime/rum shot and the outstanding service. I highly recommend sitting at the bar outside or near the open window. Don't forget to try the vegetarian options - you can substitute tofu for many of the meat choices to make them vegan or vegetarian. View all feedback.
What Chris Berger dislikes about Maize:
Didn’t eat. Left because we waited 20 mins to be sat at a table that was vacant for those 20 minutes. After being seated, we waited another 25 minutes for then the hostess to take our drink order because the server was too busy with another table. We didn’t even order and politely asked to pay for our drinks and left.Service: 1/5 View all feedback.

The food was amazing! We all loved the flan for dessert, it was divine and the portion was generous. We can't wait to come back soon. Plenty of gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions, and they were all delicious!
The food at this restaurant is fantastic! There are plenty of gluten-free options that are all delicious. The music was a little too loud, which may be suitable for busy weekends but made it difficult to have a conversation on a Tuesday. The waitress was extremely helpful. This restaurant is very accommodating for those with celiac disease.

I was visiting Cincinnati a while ago and I came to this place... All I can say is 100% worthy. I'm Venezuelan and I wanted to try something from my country and this place surprised me in a very good way. The food has its own vibe, it's not as any Venezuelan restaurant you can try, this is a palace where they put their magic in it and give an extra flavor to the food that adds something unique. If you're looking for authentic Venezuelan food, maybe this is not the place but trust me you will be having a very tasty food.I had: Tequeños 10/10, cachapas 10/10, shot of rum with ground coffee (diplomático or 1796, I don't remember but it was premium) 10/10, Arepas 10/0Thank you guys! I'll definitely will come back when I visit Cincinnati again m!

The steak was among the top five I've ever had in my life, and the drinks were fantastic as well. The empanadas were slightly undercooked and a bit cold in the center, but overall, they were excellent. Edit: I went back again, and the steak wasn't nearly as good this time. It lacked tenderness, and nothing was particularly remarkable on this visit.
Maize is a great option when you're in the mood for Mexican cuisine but prefer something lighter and less savory. The dishes we tried were flavorful without being overwhelming. The standout of the meal was definitely the cilantro crema sauce, which we added to everything. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive, and we were pleased to secure a table at 7:30 on a Saturday. The cozy atmosphere was nice, though it did sometimes get a bit too loud.
We randomly checked this place out while downtown. Delicious, clean, well lit, awesome mix of different culture delicacies. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, able answer all the questions we had. They effortlessly mix different styles together to present a truly unique palette experience.
We had a stack of gift cards for this place, and hadn 't been yet, so tonight felt like the right time. We took advantage of the outdoor seating and grabbed a few of the signature items. The 'El Ritual, ' a rum and coffee shooter that was interesting and delicious as our apéritif. A guasacaca plate, which was plantain chips with a guacamole-like dip that had olives in it. And for the main, some cheese empanadas and shrimp empanadas. Great service, quick refill on the water, and delicious food. Would go again.
Excellent Greek food at excellent prices. The shawarma pita was great and so were the fries. Unassuming location inside of Holiday Spirits, but love the cozy atmosphere inside.

We had a gift card for this restaurant and hadn't used it yet, so tonight seemed like the perfect time. We sat outside and tried some of their signature dishes. The El Ritual was a unique and tasty coffee shooter that served as an interesting apéritif. We also enjoyed the Guasacaca plate, which was made up of plantain chips served with a guacamole-like dip that had olives in it. For our main course, we had cheese and shrimp empanadas. The service was excellent, with quick refills on water, and the food was delicious. We would definitely return to this place.
Amazing Greek food and great service. The Shawarma-Pita was delicious and the fries were on point. The location may not be ideal, but the cozy atmosphere inside more than makes up for it.
