    Our guest who has traveled frequently in the Middle East and loves that regional food was very favorably impressed. Those of us new to it enjoyed it very much too. The service and ambience is lovely.

    The food was very delicious! They had a great vegan option as well. I enjoyed the Honeynut squash soup made with coconut cream & maple. A pot of their Jasmine green tea was perfect for a chilly afternoon. The service and staff were just wonderful as well with a fantastic View looking over the golf course and Pacific Ocean. 👌

    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!
