Great experience and great vibes!

I don't normally bother writing reviews, but this place doesn't deserve to be glorified how it is on social media. They sat us at a table that was facing the kitchen door and in the middle of kitchen traffic - that table shouldn't even be placed there to begin with. Our server was busy with a large party and seemed like it was nuisance to serve us - no enthusiasm or good hospitality. Food was terrible, the dry aged burger came out wet, soggy, and very salty. The spicy rigatoni pasta was extremely underwhelming and overpriced for something so basic. Very overpriced drinks that are really nothing special. This restaurant is small with an open concept kitchen and you can see them cook. However, the kitchen being so in your face, you leave smelling like garlic, which is very undesirable and unacceptable for a "fancy" restaurant. Only the lobby is aesthetic and catfishes you into thinking this place is worth dining in. Do not recommend, there's plenty of better places than this disappointment.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Maxime’s. Our server Kat was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu and just a great server. She made sure that our experience was special . The food was fabulous. I’ve been to other steak houses in the past that did not compare to the quality.

Honestly came here for my birthday and I mention that on my when I booked the reservation from when I walked in the hostess tried to act like she couldn’t find my reservation ! even after I gave her my name & phone number . Then to top it off when I entered the restaurant it is very very small , they put all the ethnicities in the same place like black & arabs in one corner , whites on one side , asians on another ! Which is completely wrong and unethical! But at least the food was okay just a little over cooked & over priced I’m very disappointed with my experience I had on my birthday !

This place is a joke. After going back and forth for several days, trying to arrange the perfect dinner party for my friends birthday; coordinating with Jainna & Farhana. At the very end right before confirming my reservation, they decided to tell me they are no longer accepting my guests and I. I assume it’s because they couldn’t be bothered to cater to the very bare minimum requests I had for the evening. Throughout coordinating I was told one thing, and then told the opposite. Clearly lack of communication between the two people trying to email me. I then asked why my reservation was all of a sudden being declined after all of this time, and they couldn’t give me an answer. Their only response was their manager Nader was going to give me a call, a call which I never received. Thanks for ruining my best friends birthday plans for your own selfish reasons :)

Went here a lot when it first opened and it was amazing. After dining here the other night i will probably never return.

Food was horrible, salad was overdressed, too salty and we barely ate it. Nobody mentioned anything even though we handed the plate back full.

Fish was fishy and didn’t taste good, extremely expensive.

Steak was ok.

Bill was $400 for 2 people

Service was slow, cockroaches on our table outside.

Great atmosphere!, great service and most importantly great food. came here with my wife for our 6 month wedding annvirsary and maximes was the top choice, there was a close by public parking which made the walk to the restaurant very easy, we ordered the mac & cheese, veal parmesean, pasta and the truffle drizzled fries. everything tasted great and fresh, servers were all nice and attentive, will be coming back here soon.

This used to be my favourite restaurant but yesterday’s experience had been extremely disappointing. Upon arrival, as we sat down, the host approached us and said the Manager Nader had asked my friend to remove his hat but we glanced around and a gentleman was wearing a hat by the bar and he clearly had been sitting there for a while and we asked why was he wearing a hat and he had to take his off. She then approached Nader, the manager who was hiding by the bar in the corner what we had said. He then approached the gentleman by the bar to remove his hat afterwards. If this was an issue then he would have asked the gentleman to remove his hat already when he walked in but it’s clear that he knew the gentleman so he allowed him to wear his hat in the first place and because he had asked him to remove it, he then went to approach the other patron wearing his hat. I have also been to this restaurant with a friend wearing a hat before and no one had said anything about him taking his hat off. Nader wouldn’t even come to our table when we had requested to speak to him. He would stare at our table and walked by the kitchen area and that was very uncomfortable. My friend is black and he felt discriminated. He wouldn’t even approach us when we asked to speak to him and made the server who was kind to talk to us instead. Nader was a bald white causasian man with glasses. We would have walked out but I had told my friend that their spicy vodka rigatoni was good and he needed to try it. But yesterday’s food was nothing like how it was before. The quality went down by a lot. I don’t know if it’s because they hired different people in the kitchen which some looked like kids. The spicy vodka rigatoni had a lot of black pepper seasoned, the mashed potatoes with lobster had barely any lobster and the mashed potatoes was watery, the sea bass wasn’t salted at all and it tasted bland and was not deboned, the ahi tuna carpaccio was very fishy tasting. I would definitely not come back to this restaurant due to the food quality and the manager who doesn’t understand what exceptional customer service is. He allowed his female friend who came in with sweat pants and her dog and he sat with them for a while and the female friend brought her dog into the restaurant walking around to the bar and passed the kitchen with her dog but my friend had to take his hat off. I didn’t know a dog was able to come into a restaurant when the kitchen was right there due to sanitation. Also the kitchen staff were all wearing hats but my friend had to take his off to dine there. Make it make sense. Avoid at all cost!

Everything was top notch! Chef Jordan is a wizard in the kitchen. Really found their groove, from the steak, seafood tower to pasta - don’t miss anything. Great vibe and 10/10 service and staff!

Such a great spot for a night out with friends - delicious food and the music is a vibe! Pleasantly surprised with the variety in the menu and a must try is the sizzling shrimp! The sauce is to die for.
