    Great experience. Nice location. Quiet. Bartender was great. Service was very good. Set order menu great. If I had to fault only 1 thing - I had the wine pairing and the server didn’t explain what I was getting or why it paired well with the course.

    It used to be a good restaurant but has become just money-hungry. Won't be returning.

    The ambience was amazing and very delightful. The lobster gnocchi was extremely good and my date loved it. Highly recommend for a cute date spot.

    We really enjoyed our experience at Maxine's! The service was 10000/10 - the servers were all very nice people (like genuinely kind), attentive but not hover-y. The music level was good so we could actually chat and the lighting was perfect. Such a nice spot!
