  • Has anyone felt that the service at Cafe Maud in the east village felt a little racist. I’ve dined there more than once in groups of south Asian women and the service at other tables where the crowd is at least pre dominantly non-poc has always been a lot more attentive and speedy than ours.

  • replying to u/Dyecraze: They take reservations... so those people getting seated after you probably had reservations. Pretty elementary.

    When I told her the male host had already promised it to us, she gave me the line that they had been waiting longer—which was complete nonsense.

  • I’d been there twice and had good service there both times. The staff always attentive and checks on us.

  • The Cafe Maud in the Upper East Side just opened and I noticed the same thing. They treated my friends (who are not white) poorly, and played really, really bad country music that just salted my wounds. Service was rude and it was just very republican feeling.

  • I have dined there and found the service and food to be underwhelming/poor. The service was slow and the staff seemed inexperienced. Overall, it seemed like they are focusing on being trendy instead of good.
