Went here for the first time today. It was the BEST prime rib I have EVER had!! Would definitely go back. We went for dinner at 5pm. The service was fast and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Don't let the look inside fool you. It has the perfect amount of old timey vibe. I love places like this. We ordered zucchini for an appetizer. Came out fresh hot and crispy. Again all the food was great. Will for sure be going back. A wonderful time

I had the privilege of dining at this historic restaurant. The ambiance is dated between the mid 1930s- early 1940s. The seating is very classic, with gold wrapping with red faux velvet design. Famous classic actors and actresses have stopped in to eat here. From Clark Gable to Errol Flynn, Jane Russell, and few others. I enjoyed the food. I had the Shrimp Scampi and it was delicious. The service I had was incredible.

Let me share with you a little magic. Now I know my reviews may be a bit lengthy and long-winded now if that's the case move on this isn't for you. However, if you'd like to find an amazing place to be yourself and not get kicked out, this place may be for you. Now this was based on a short time we all know had a had a few more drinks I probably wouldn't be writing this or would be trying to go fundme some bail money. I had a beautiful drink made by Manny that not only made me smile when it hit my tasebuds but also made me know I was in the right place. I had come to this establishment about a month earlier and sat at the bar for a drink. The personalities are a medley of oh wow, that's awesome to o wow! My advice is to come with a friend as you have someone to talk to if no one is there, but honestly, you'd probably make a friend if you didn't. Be kind and ask people questions. That's how you learn about other humans. But if you choose to come and not talk, at least be kind. These people work hard to male you happy, and they deserve to be treated well. Cafe La Maze, you have no idea what an asset you have with Manny. He is you places and you're lucky he is there creating such a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you.

Another great night here. Sara was absolutely fabulous! The food is always great as is the atmosphere. The reason we come here - consistently 5 star!

This is my favorite spot to have that special dinner once in a while. It's for like a nice date as the food is great as well as the drinks. Sometimes they have live music or a singer that recites old songs in Spanish which I love so please bring cash too too is well worth it. It has this retro look with old school booths and the dim lighting adds to the look. Plenty of street parking and they have parking in the rear.

National City has a gem in this steak house. Parking lot is available but if it's full you will be circling to find a street spot. The service here was top notch. The servers were all polite and super accommodating. Drinks were refilled often. Questions were answered. They charge an 18 percent gratuity for parties of 6 or more as an fyi. The food was very good. I had a Cafe La Maze cut prime rib. I think it could have been slightly juicer but it was still very good. The sides were perfect. I enjoyed the French onion soup. The menus are under the glass partition on the table so the options were always available to see. Ambience was surprisingly very good as well inside.
