About Maple: Owned by restaurant architect, Eric Gronning and his wife Lori Robertson, Maple is a charming yet contemporary restaurant and wine bar located in DC’s Columbia Heights neighborhood. The Italian-influenced menu features an array of appetizers, salads, pastas and entrees all bursting with clean, bold flavors. Highlights include Prosciutto di Parma/Fig Spread/Gorgonzola Dolce Bruschetta, Crispy Pork Medallions with Polenta, Wilted Kale & Pork Jus and House-made Tagliatelle with Basil Pesto.
An eclectic art collection adorns the walls of the two-level space, adding to the cool vibe of the restaurant. In addition to a sidewalk patio in front, Maple has a large outdoor dining space at the back of the restaurant. Potted greenery, overhead string lights, and brick walls gives the partially enclosed patio an "urban garden" type of feel and make it the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine or dine al fresco in the spring and summer.
