New Upscale Restaurant The Maple Room Opens In Vienna

VIENNA, VA — There's a new fine dining restaurant filling the void of the old Amphora Restaurant location in the southwest end of town — at least for dinner.

The Maple Room Restaurant & Lounge opened Sunday at 377 Maple Ave W, Vienna, VA. It is in the former location of Amphora Restaurant, which closed in early 2021 after 44 years.

The new restaurant's menu provides starters like classic French onion soup, salmon tartare, duck leg confit, and oysters Rockefeller as well as "on the rocks" options like oysters and shrimp cocktail. Charcuterie boards and salads are another option to precede the main course.

Entree options include grilled whole branzino, cold water salmon, garlic prawns, Lancaster Farms roasted chicken, tagliatelle bolognese, prime filet mignon, prime New York strip, prime boneless rib eye, double cut lamb chops, Green Hill Farm pork chop, and tuna steak. Sides like truffle fries, maple Thumbelina carrots, and brussel sprouts and lardon can be ordered for the table.

Along with traditional dining, bar seating with drinks like handcrafted cocktails is available.

The restaurant says on its website, "we warmly welcome guests of all ages," but evening dining is recommended for children 10 and older. According to the restaurant's website, "proper attire is requested."

Hours are 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday to Saturday and 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. It is closed on Mondays.

Reservations are filling up quickly for the early days of the restaurant. Visit www.mapleroomrestaurant.com/reserveyourtable.
