    We love coming to Maxine’s during the holidays as their ambiance is so beautiful! The Christmas decor throughout the restaurant really puts you in a festive spirit. We ordered the eggs cocotte, smoked brisket croque madame, mini donuts, affogato and peppermint patty affogato (cocktail), and everything was delicious. It was a little loud with a fussy baby near our table, but overall, the experience was still really lovely. Our server, Nacha, was super friendly and took great care of us. We look forward to coming back soon!

    I was disappointed that my birthday wasn’t acknowledged despite it being indicated on the reservation. Instead, my party was greeted with reminders that we had to be out by a certain time. I spent $15 on the tiniest oyster I’ve ever seen. I also left hungry after my pasta dish.

    This was one of the best meals I've hand in months at Maxines. Food was delicious, service friendly and efficient, plus well-priced wine.

    The food was absolutely amazing. The server provided good recommendations for both food and drink pairings. Felt like a neighborhood place, but elevated. I would recommendation and go back to.

    We were celebrating two birthdays and were warmly greeters and acknowledged by all the staff that we interacted with. The food was excellent and we had a wonderful evening. Many thanks!

    Dec 12: Birthday lunch update- Another incredible meal from the welcome to the food and service. I had the falafel bowl with quinoa and it was delightful. Just the right hint of spice. My friends split the smoked salmon benedict with added avocado. Nicole took great care of us, but each staff member was lovely. Lauren from MAN adds to the friendly management team. If you’ve never tried the frozen slushies with Baileys and Whiskey, it’s a boozy kiss!
