The attention to detail is evident in every dish, reaching a crescendo with the Short Rib Cavatelli that dances with flavors of red wine and horseradish cream.
But it’s not just the mains that shine; the Honeynut Squash Soup and Charred Octopus from the share menu should not be overlooked.

Chef Daniel and the team at Long Branch newcomer, MAYA, are a class act! The only better steak I've had is by my grill-master dad! Stephanie at the bar whipped up some refreshing concoctions from their beachy drink menu and you simply can't beat the view at the WAVE...it's like New Jersey's very own Fontainebleau!
I enjoyed beautiful dinner. It was my after thanksgiving dinner. Delicious foods and good service. They have great outside dinning. Lobster pastas, fish, and eggplant dip were so good. I will comeback again.
WOW! I felt like I was in NYC with the brick oven chicken and truffle fries. And waiter on a Wednesday night was amazing, great person and was shocked at the quality of the whole meal. Well deserving from me for five stars! Will come back and try other options thank you for an amazing meal !!!! This was fantastic
Waitstaff very friendly, attentive and kind. Dimitri is the best. Thanks for helping to make dinner fun. Food is top notch. Papardelle scrumptious. Steak perfectly done and tasted way better than the picture shows. Mushrooms side was very good also. Meatballs refreshingly different. We'll done guys. Beautiful view of ocean and people going by enjoying the sun and weather. Music playing at their little outside bar. The flourless cake was divine and not too much. The semifreddo hazlenut delish. Finished the desserts before we could even take a Pic. Go and enjoy you won't be dissappointed. Prices are reasonable and on par with food.
I came here for my wedding rehearsal it was amazing, super nice atmosphere! Especially having a dairy/gluten allergy they made sure everything was safe for me! Jenna was my waiter and she was the cherry on top! Super nice and informative and very friendly. I came back the next day with my dog and she recognized me, congratulated me even came to give my dog water! I will definitely be coming back again!
One of the BEST dining experiences on the shore! My family absolutely loves to visit Long Branch when we are looking to go to the Jersey shore, and after visiting a few of the neighboring restaurants, we decided to go to Maya for my mom’s birthday. We were running a few minutes late and when we called to let them know, they were so understanding and accommodating! We were seated and immediately tended to and were provided an excellent wine recommendation. From there, we were able to place our orders and enjoy the beautiful location of the restaurant. For all of the vegetarians out there, this is your SPOT! There were so many vegetarian options! Our food was amazing, and the staff was so accommodating of our requests. I could not have asked for a better experience, and our entire family left extremely happy with the food, service, and atmosphere of the restaurant.
Another great dinner at this amazing restaurant! Starting off with the charred octopus and the hummus is always the way to go! The special of the filet mignon was absolutely incredible. Ending with the hazel nut gelato and the olive oil cake is the best way to end a night! And we cannot forget about our amazing, super helpful server Janna. We request her every time and she never fails to make our night so much better. She is seriously an awesome server. Thank you Janna!!
I had a great experience at this restaurant last weekend. We were warmly greeted by the host Christian and given the option to sit inside or outside. They were very accommodating to our request. Our server, Janna, was fantastic—super friendly and attentive. Her great service made the meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back!
