We are regular customers at Maxine's. Last night when we arrived, the hostess offered us a table on the patio where she proceeded to sit us next to a dog that was taking up all the space between the table next to us, as well, it wasn't the nicest smelling dog. We waited some time before the hostess came over to take our drink order which was fine because our server was busy. Everything was ok, until we waited about 40 minutes for our entrees. When we finished our meal, our server persuaded us to stay for dessert. Right after we ordered dessert, the hostess came to ask us to move because there was a large party coming next to us. We refused to move as it wasn't our fault that there were such long delays in greeting us and receiving our entrees, and the fact that our server encouraged us to stay for dessert. We felt this request was very rude on the part of the hostess and should never requested us to move. In the meantime, they invited the large party to to table next to us of which some of the guests were standing around next to our table, where we felt unwelcome and pressured to leave. Not the experience at Maxine's.

My girlfriends and I have been coming here every couple of months to reunite and catch up over friend chicken and a bottle of wine. Lovely ambiance and really nice staff. Would recommend this place for any occasion!

Best service we've had here!! Food is always great-really love the Eggplant Parm. As vegetarians, it's difficult to find great Italian meals that aren't just pasta and sauce. The new house sparkling is not good. Would love to see you go back to your original when supply is back up again.

We had a great time sitting at the bar, enjoying awesome drinks and amazing food. I highly recommend the Pork Belly and the fried Chicken! Atmosphere is so cozy with great vibes. Taylor was our bartender and he was amazing. Highly recommend Maxines!!

Fantastic news experience! Food was delicious and service was great. Looking forward to our next visit!!!

The ABSOLUTE WORST Hapoy Hoir menu, selection, preparation, taste, and value in the city. No wonder there were only 2 other tables in the entire space. The wait staff had NO idea how to make our horrible experience better, and watched us as we made a reservation at a competitive restaurant after we sent everything ordered that was inedible back. Then they had the audacity to charge us for the drinks we didn't even finish??!! Fully evict you to be closed down before summer patio season. 10 thumbs down!

I took my husband here for a birthday breakfast and we had the most delightful experience. Our server, Alora, and several other staff members dropped by our table to inquire about our plans for the day. One shared her positive thoughts on coming from Ukraine, we were asked if we enjoyed our brunch choices, and they even surprised us with complimentary hot chocolates and candles in our French toast. This is an upscale, inclusive, exquisitely styled bistro where the experience is just as important as the divinely prepared food. We will be back with friends to share the warmth and the feeling that can only be described as authentically curated. Do it - your pallets and psyche will thank me.

I celebrated my birthday breakfast at Maxine's, my second time dining for breakfast. I enjoyed the delicious food, attentive customer service, the lively atmosphere. The prices of the dishes reflect the quality of ingredients. Definitely make a reservation, as it's a popular restaurant. Parking is street parking, good luck if you're driving to find a free spot.
Our previous two visits featured impeccable service so we were very disappointed this time with a waitress who was very personable but obviously needed training in table service. I ordered a second glass of wine but she forgot and it came much later in the meal than I would have preferred. We ordered from the sharing menu but it took a long time for the last two dishes to come and the scallops should have been served earlier than the meatballs. She asked if we were finished (when we were) but then avoided us for a long time before coming back and again asking us if we were finished. We could have been more aggressive about the service but had expected this to come as second nature given our previous visits.

Food was good and nice environment, however we didn't feel welcome when the hostess canceled our reservation in front of us and said next time we need to book 45 minutes ahead. The restaurant was empty by then. Server was very kind and helpful accommodating the stroller.

Continues to be one of the most consistent venues. Only different this last time was the servers. Weren't up to our previous experiences.

It doesn't matter whether it's brunch or dinner, the food and service are excellent. After 4 recent visits, I have been most impressed with Maxine's Cafe and Bar's consistency.
