    Maxwell's is always brilliant and our favourite place to eat in Central London in a relaxed, fun and casual atmosphere. It's always busy which is what makes the vibrant atmosphere, and the management and staff work so hard and in such an organised way to deliver a memorable time. I can't fault it in any way.

    Staff were extremely friendly and helpful despite us being a large party of 15 and it being the weekend before Christmas. A couple of our dishes were a little late arriving and they made a small adjustment to the bill to compensate. Food was high quality and well presented. Thank you!

    As usual we had a wonderful experience in Maxwells! Lovely Christmas atmosphere. We waited a little while for our main course but we were enjoying ourselves so never said anything. The Manager actually came over and apologised for the delay and offered us free cocktails! Frickles.....amazing as always

    I've been coming to Maxwell's on and off since i was a teenager in the 1980s! As usual, this visit didn't disappoint...the food and service were excellent and the place always has a lively vibe. I popped in for a quick meal one my own today but will be returning with friends next month. Happy Christmas!
