    We had a girls lunch today. The patio was lovely and we all enjoyed the food and wine. We had salmon tacos, Cobb salad and BBQ flatbreads. Everything was excellent. The whiskey Bundt cake for dessert was delicious too. Jane was our server. She provided outstanding service and was very accommodating with separate checks. We will definitely return.

    I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!
