Best Casual Restaurants in King West

Michael is the goat. He is the best restaurant staff member I’ve ever seen. Go here if you want to be treated right.

This place did not disappoint. Excellent food, everything we had (4 people sharing) was just amazing. Service was great, some good recommendations from our server on how many dishes to share. Save room for dessert too - a small but mighty dessert menu! One small criticism was that we felt a bit rushed at the end, they had a booking after us at 9:30pm - tables of 4 have 2 hours I guess, but we weren’t seated until 7:45 for our own booking. It just felt like it brought the dinner to a very abrupt end!

We had an incredible experience at Maximes From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the beef tartare, the burrata, the sea bass was a perfect blend of flavor. The dessert menu was equally impressive, with the tiramisu being a true standout. The attention to detail, both in the service and the food, was truly top-notch. This is easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Our server/bartender Driss Amir was outstanding D’j was Incredible Highly recommended!"

My man and I are foodies. So this was a perfect place to have several meals in little portions.

We had the tasting menu and every single dish was unreal. Great waiter as well.
