The service and food were superb. The atmosphere was more open and louder than expected. But it is casual and comfortable.

To start this off, I want to thank Jennifer for making a great dinner even better. My husband and I are both very explorative and she was great in recommending dishes with great drinks to pair. Her energy is contagious! We started with the escargot and scallops, moved to the spinach salad and leek, potato and bacon soup then transitioned to the star of our night, the entrees. I had the lamb and he had the elk. The elk was both of our favorites! It was tender and had enough game to give it a flare but was not overly gamey where it took over the dish. To top it all off, we finished with the lava cake and a port. We will definitely be back again.

Took my friend there for her very first experience at the restaurant. It was fun to see it from her perspective. She was blown away with how many people stopped at her table in between drinks to make sure that we had had an opportunity to order another round. It's funny because of any less had stopped. I would have questioned why there was change in their service levels. Unanimously voted that their meatball appetizer is one of the best things in the universe.

Maxwells is the only place I would pay that high of a price for a meal. It is worth the expense as they get so much flavor on a plate. It is where my wife and I always go to celebrate events in our life.
