This place is a real paradise and its owner is scrupulous. I would give this place and his integrity an absolute Five-Star. Back in March I was looking for a short-term apartment when I happened to read an advertisement on the This Week about the Arlington Inn Apartments. I went to their office, and the landlord introduced himself as Larry, who claimed to be the owner of the Maxfields as well. “He said, “You can rest assured that I will return your last-month rent as long as you notify me at least one month earlier”. After I double checked with him and believed he is a gentle and honest man, I signed the lease with him. In May I learned from my professor that I gotta transfer with him to a new university in NJ in July. On June 1st when I moved in, I told Mr. Landlord about it. His words “I must take something from you” were so serious. I ended up paying the full rent instead of half of the normal price as advertised. Afterwards, he smiled and gave me a firm hand shake. Thank you so much, Mr. Hazen. I felt so impressed by your honesty.
I feel it a shame for Mr. Hazen, since he only bases his business in the North Country. If it were in a bigger city, he would probably have become a billionaire, or even more successful than Bill Gates.
Some comments on my apartment:
The apartment is such great place to stay. Every time I entered the room, a pleasant aroma from the sewage greeted me with no exception. It even beaten my Glade Spray. Another good thing is that it sits on the street where the Maxfield is also located. As a big fan of music, I took pleasure from listening to some bands playing light music and people murmuring. It was a real benefit for a tenant like me. I really wished that the music would not stop. But why it came to an end as early as at 2 a.m. What a shame!
In summary, welcome to the Maxfield and the Arlington Inn Apartments.
Amazing truffle fries! The burgers were also very delicious and a generous portion.

Our server did a great job. The food came out in a reasonable time as well. I liked the choices on the menu and the food was well cooked. However, the chicken and potato dish I ordered had so much caper brine in it that it was burning my tongue. Just a suggestion: use smaller capers not the big fat ones. It was too salty and potent and offensive to the palette. The Guinness cake we ordered was delicious but the cream on the side had salt in it and made the whole dessert too salty; maybe use sugar to sweeten the cream and create a nice balance with that salt on the Guinness cake and it will be perfect.

Between the appetizers and cheddar burger I had as my meal, everything I took a bite of was fantastic.

A group of 9 of us came to Maxfields for dinner around 5pm. The establishment was empty when we got here other than the people in the bar, and the service was definitely lacking. Not only was the service lacking, but by the time the waiter came back to take our food order (~30 min after we ordered apps and drinks), the place had filled up. The orders were rather simple - burgers, fish fry, and a couple apps (soup and squash), but it took over an hour for us to get our food. Our server reassured us the food was coming, but it still was taking forever even after the first group of us got our burgers. We all ordered our burgers medium and they were more rare/medium rare than anything. Edited to add: “we ordered chicken wings, too, and they were completely forgotten about. They had to remove them from our check.” Drinks even took forever to come out which is fair considering the bar was full. Overall; I would not recommend maxfields.
Aside from the food issue, none of the bathrooms were equipped properly with toilet paper nor paper towels, which is more than likely a health code violation. :)
Enjoy if you decide to go, but know what you’re getting into with a large party!

Chicken was raw. Deck is really nice but don't sit near the kitchen exhaust - very noisy.

The steelhead trout was very good. The vegetables and potatoes however were too underdone and I love al dente veggies. We were also crammed onto the patio like sardines and the bussers were hitting my chair trying to clear the table behind me. And the music was insanely repetitive and LOUD. Basically the food is pretty good but ambiance needs a lot of work
Food was on point. Drinks were good. And the service was good as well. Nice dinning experience.

Food was extra expensive and menu was interesting, but food was quite awful... Truffle Fries in both meals were stone cold and old, when we asked for fresh fries they microwaved our entire meal so steak was well done and old fries warmed up and on top of it all waitress has charged us for extra truffle fries, we will not be returning there any time soon... But live music was lovely so cheers to that.. the rest is to be forgotten...super expensive and below expectations..

Back for a nostalgic visit with friends it was just as good as I remembered 20 years ago. Drinks and apps were delicious! I wish there were a bit more variety for apps but we made it work. Service was quick and done exactly how we asked for rounds of apps. Won't let 20 years go by before we visit again.
