Ben truly made our evening special - he made sure all our needs were met. Ben recommended the homage to the pig and we couldn’t thank him enough for pointing us in that delicious direction. We will be back!

Food was incredible. Ben met all of my needs at every step of the way. Just an incredible server who's very attentive to patrons. I get the sense they really hire people of integrity. Ben was working hard all night it's great to see that kind of work ethic. I think I might love him. Kids got a great head of hair. Yummy yummy deliciousness. Would 100% come back the food was great the atmosphere was great but most of all Ben was amazing.

I really wanted to like it. Service was overall nice. I noted that we are coming with a 5 year old child. He is well behaved. The food they cooked for him was good and upon our request. So that was nice. However, they do not carry boosters for kids, only high chairs, and there are no steps in the bathrooms for kids comfort to wash their hands.Food itself was not excellent or exceptional. It was average. The best out of 4 adult dishes was the burger. The pork chop was ok, but afterwards my husband's stomach wasn't happy with it. It felt too heavy, hard to digest. One trout, cooked traditionally, was good, as I mentioned earlier, the burger was yummy, and the dish I had totally didn't meet my expectations. The server said it will burst with flavors and has a slight kink to it, like a bit of spice. Well, it was extremely spicy, no bursts of flavors, I simply couldn't feel anything else. To top it off my trout was covered in black pepper. Just on a side note: I love kink and some spicy food. I tolerate it well. This one was just beyond my ability to eat and enjoy. Overall cost was $250 for all 5 people (including a small kid). I don't think we'll come back. But of course, everyone has their own tastes and likes. This place has a high rating, I guess many people like it, sorry for the let down, but that's my two cents.

I love coming here. The service,food and atmosphere is phenomenal.I had the homage to the pig and the pear and gorgonzola salad. Both were delicious. I also had the bread pudding which was delicious. The bartender was great and of course the owners Margie and Will are a joy. They always make sure you feel like home when you are here. Run don't walk to Maximillians!!!

The food was absolutely fantastic. We got a grilled Cesar and spicy calamari for appetizers and both were excellent. Main courses we got the duck confit and steak ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly. Very happy with our date night!

We went for our anniversary, and it was a very good experience. My husband said it was one of the best ribeye steaks he's ever had. The service was top-notch, and we enjoyed our night very much.

We love the food at Maximillians! The service is always top notch. My favorite meal is the Voodoo Tuna. If they don't have tuna, you can ask if they can substitute with something else. I got the Voodoo beef last night with shrimp and it was outstanding!! Cant wait to go back real soon!

We have lived in the area for 18 years & this was our first visit to Maximillian's Grill. Best kept secret? A treasure to be discovered! The food was amazing! The service a delight. The light jazz set a relaxed ambiance. A perfect evening to celebrate my sweet husband's birthday.

Excellent family celebration dinner. Party of 6.Started with champagne (non-alcoholic version available). Ordered drinks & apps. My picky boyfriend loved his Manhattan! Sweater Weather drinks great option for those under 21. I had them make a version of my fav drink from another place. They rose to the challenge! It was really good.Apps included the Cauliflower Flatbread, Calimari & Fried Raviolis to be shared. Everyone at table had a different fav. Calimari was perfectly cooked - not chewy or drowned in batter like most places - served in a cool wonton bowl. So good. Raviolis were great but my fav was the Flatbread. Wow! I need more of that.Perfect spacing of time to let that settle before entrees arrived. We all tried each other's. Voodoo of the day - scallops & shrimp - had a decent kick to it. But very good. Lots of flavor. Korean BBQ beef also had a kick but more so a great set up that brought it all together. Duck was perfectly cooked and though I'm not usually a fan of duck, I asked for a second bite. My Shrimp pasta was perfect! Most ppl skimp on shrimp or drown it in sauce - not tonight!! Pasta sauce was creamy but not heavy and really made the dish. I ran out of room to try the Veal another in our party ordered. She said it was awesome and was quiet though usually talkative cause her mouth was full! That's a great sign it's good.Thought we couldn't possibly eat another thing - then the person we were celebrating ordered the bread pudding. A sweet end to a perfect meal. (Want to go back another time to try the other desserts.i can't possibly eat anymore tonight.)Staff was attentive, yet patient with our crazy group. Checked in regularly but I noticed them quietly keeping an eye on us as well. I work catering so I recognize and appreciate the space yet always staying aware.Wow. A great dining experience, a fun night and a great place to celebrate.Parking: Plenty of parking!
