For those who are considering dining at Maverick, please consider this review solely as my personal experience and not neccessarily a deterrence for your dining experience.
Normally when I frequent restaurants such as this, I tend to set a high expectation based on what's advertised and the cost.
On a Friday evening on August 23rd, my family and I were super excited about hanging out at Maverick Texas Brasserie. I came across their Instagram page and was immediately intrigued. Upon arrival, it was a little tight pulling up at the curbside valet due to the small space to park for valet while watching out for passing traffic while exiting your vehicle.
We were warmly greeted and escorted to a table for 4 guests. We started off with two cucumber flavored mock tails which were a hit. Our appetizers were also a hit, very delicious 😋, which perfectly set the stage for our entrée. While we waited, we conversed and I got to steal glances at my novel that I brought to read. My novel was book 5 of an 8 part book series that I was deeply engrossed in.
When dinner finally arrived, we were presented fries, a fish dish, and the tomahawk steak with potatoes. To my shock, the fries were obviously burnt, and the fish dish was dry. The steak had no flavor, the fat wasn't rendered properly, the temperature(medium plus) which I asked for wasn't what I got, not to mention the potatoes were undercooked.
We obviously did not complete the $180 worth of tomahawk steak, the burnt fries and the undercooked potatoes.
Throughout our experience, our server didn't make us feel as important. Hopefully she didn't have preconceived notions about us which may have affected her service to us. With that said, the only item that was omitted from our bill was the burnt fries. It just behooves me that someone would allow underwhelming food to get out from the Pass and make its way onto someone's table. With that said, we got our $360+ check.
On our way home, I made the discovery that my novel was left behind and it was too late to turn around. I called Maverick immediately the following day and was told that someone might have heard about or seen a lost book. I was promised call back, but sadly no one returned my call. On Sunday, I called back and provided more details and was promised a call back whether or not the novel was found. During that conversation, I felt rushed because they were preparing for a Restaurant buyout. Again, no one cared to return my call.
This is my reason for giving Maverick Texas Brasserie a 2 star review. Thanks for taking the time to read my honest review and hopefully your review will be better than mine.
