    Fantastic place to dine. I can't believe in all my years in London, I've never come across this little gem before. The service was good. The drinks took a very long time to arrive, thank God for the tap water placed on the table on arrival. The food also took a while to come, but this was not an issue. We had our starters and were able to let that go down before the main course. I can not fault the food it was delicious and generous portions, so the wait was soon forgiven. The lovely man at front of house was very apologetic about our wait and gave us a discount due to this. 4 very happy, very full customers that can not wait to return to Maxwell's

    Booked for daughter's 15th birthday celebration. Had been before for husband's 50th Birthday where service and food had been excellent. Unfortunately no mention made by serving staff of my daughter's birthday which was disappointing as she was excited to return for a meal. Also delay with main meals, two arrived but had quite a wait for third meal to appear. Overall not the experience we had hoped for on this occasion.

    It was our daughter's 13th birthday, nothing was too much hassle for our Server, Sarah T. We were seated quickly upstairs, the drinks were great and the food was amazing. We had the Mac n cheese with no onion crust, fajitas, vegan chilli and sides. The food was the amazing, full of flavour and presented very well. Our daughter had a birthday brownie and song which was a lovely touch. Our Server was lovely and efficient. We would definitely recommend Maxwell's and will visit again. Perfect venue for families

    We had booked our table as part of a birthday celebration for my daughter before we went to the theatre. The service was excellent! Hot food, served very quickly and all fresh and delicious. Great sized portions. Excellent choice for all our party. Fantastic value. My daughter was also treated to a ‘Happy Birthday’ shout out and special birthday Brownie which was a lovely touch. Thank you so much to everyone!

    This is the worse meal I have had in London. Have eaten here many times before, but unfortunately the food was awful and service poor.

    Was an initial problem when we asked for GF burger as a kids meal - they not cater for children who may be GF. Finally they agreed to it. Took my order of fajitas with NO ONION, it arrives with lots of onions and I was THEN informed that it is ready made with onions not told that when I ordered.

    We were immediately seated and served quickly. Usually, we order burgers, ribs, chicken etc but today I decided on the taco salad. I am not usually a salad girl but this was lovely. I’ll definitely order again. I had the Blueberry crumble cocktail which was divine. Everyone is always so nice but it was crazy busy as it was half term. Still, we were served quickly. My only complaint is why do all serving staff come over and ask ‘is everything ok?’ just as you’ve taken a bite of food! :)
