Each week, you have the chance to win a $10 certificate to the restaurant of your choice simply by reviewing a restaurant in Patch. This week it's Maya Cafe.
When it comes to restaurants, Maplewood and Brentwood have it covered. But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. That's where you come in. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark. Once again, it's Friday Food Critic. Tell us which dishes are good, who has the best drink specials. In exchange, we select three random winners each week who upload a restaurant review, and give them a $10 gift card to the restaurant of their choice. Cuba, The Caribbean, Guatemala, Spain, Argentina – Maya Cafe, in Maplewood, has a menu with broad Latin roots – and they choose the best. Or go on Wednesday night for CB’s House Party Blues Jam, (no cover!) Of course, they did win a …

Acero’s fall menu, offered through mid-December, uses local ingredients.

Manager Sam Foley told me that all of Acero's meats are grass fed and organic, and all of the pastas are made in-house. Upon my arrival, I was immediately presented with warm housemade bread. The chewy dense loaf had an almost sweet taste to it; it was a delightful way to begin my meal. The menu, while small, offers a variety of …

Monarch's new Southern Bistro menu is a seamless blend of southern soul and sophisticated flair.
When it comes to premier fine-dining and skillfully constructed provisions, Monarch Restaurant and Wine Bar has always been one of the top restaurants in not only Maplewood, but the entire St. Louis region. High-quality food typically comes at an elevated price, and in the past, Monarch was no exception. However, this is no longer the case. In August, after two months of closure and renovations, Monarch emerged from its culinary cocoon to reveal a brand new southern-inspired menu. The appropriately named Southern Bistro menu is the brainchild of executive chef Josh Galliano, who yearned to express his love of traditional southern food in Monarch's kitchen. The moderately sized bistro menu features everything from the simple—gumbo served …
