Maynards

Permanently closed

This spot has closed for good. We're keeping the page around for the memories β€” it no longer appears in our guides or recommendations.

[Note: Maynards is temporarily closed for Summer 2025. "We will reopen at the end of August and look forward to welcoming our customers back." Keep up with Maynards on Instagram for updates.] Maynards offers an elegant dining experience within the historic Southern Pacific Railroad Depot. The interior features a polished bar and arched windows beneath a painted ceiling, creating a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. Guests can enjoy views of the herb garden, patio, and passing trains, adding to the restaurant's unique charm. The menu showcases standout dishes like the Crispy Brussels Sprouts with mustard butterscotch, pork belly pastrami, and Marcona almonds. Another guest favorite is the Blue Crab Spaghetti, prepared with squid ink pasta, Calabrian chile, lemon cream sauce, and basil crumb. Maynards also offers a selection of craft cocktails and an extensive wine list, rounding out a refined and memorable dining experience.
