| Red Maple can be a little intimidating to the uninitiated. The rather severe Deco façade has no signage, only a stylized icon of a tree. The retro-modern, multi-level interior is attractive, but perilously dim, illuminated by candles and a couple of flickering fireplaces. The place has a reputation as a noisy dance club populated by hot young Euro-chic types. And eating a meal off a shin-high coffee-table while seated on a backless hassock --- or, in the romantic aerie, a floor pillow --- will have over-forties speed-dialing their chiropractors. Nonetheless, a fine meal can be had here. In the early evening, the mood is mellow, the jazz low-key, the servers attentive, and chef Colin Innes’s menu of global-fusion small plates awfully tempting. Will it be chorizo empanadas, or butter-textured beef tenderloin with Gorgonzola and sun-dried tomato polenta, or roasted Brussels sprouts with shallots, lemon and pistachios? Might as well try them all; from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, they are a mere $5, and drinks two-for-one. |
