Had a great lunch here. Couple of minor issues with service, but a very apologetic server provided dessert on the house.

Nice interior with a good view of the bay. Interior made of wood very cozy. The waiters are kind and efficient. There are a good selection of French wines. Toilets are available and clean. The waiting time in the entrance is short.

Most of the food was served cold and the service was basically the same. The view is extraordinary but that's the best part of it. Could be great if they cared more but I would not recommend.

Cold food with similar service. We were excited to try this place and to be honest it could have been awesome but both our dishes came out mostly cold. One of the items on one of our plates was hot but otherwise clearly the rest had been sitting waiting. The server was disinterested and unwelcoming.

Stopped by for some cocktails before dinner, had an amazing view and amazing service!

A hidden gem with spectacular views and an intimate atmosphere. The food was exceptional, and the service warm and attentive—a great French dining experience here in Seattle.

We had the absolute worst experience interacting with the manager/staff. We called them in the morning to cancel our reservation due to illnesses in our group and we gave them plenty of time to fill it and they were horribly rude to us and charged us $200+ on our credit card. We offered to send a portion of our group or to reschedule and they still charged us. This was a horrible experience with terrible customer service, and I would not recommend giving them business.

Making a special night, into a lifetime memory. The staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary/birthday dinner something to remember. We had the halibut and the scallops and a couple of bottles of champagne. From the food to the views to the staff, I don't think you can beat Maximilien for the finest of dining in Seattle.
I love the atmosphere and the foods , I ordered the scallops it was sooo good and fresh .

When coming to Seattle, this is definitely a must visit to put on your list! The service is excellent, and the food is absolutely amazing. The ambience and the absolute welcoming staff makes your experience that much more pleasant, no pretentious attitude, only the best wait staff and talented chefs around. This is our fifth visit with each being a business and also on a family event basis. The escargot and lamb dishes are one to behold and you have to take in their selection of cocktails and wine to accompany your meal. They also offer a baguette and butter that is flown in from France, which absolutely melts in your mouth! Another one in our party had the steak and also enjoyed the halibut dish which was cooked too perfection. But don't miss out on the French Onion soup - outstanding each time! The photos do not do it justice as you have to experience for yourself!

A perfect and intimate date night spot! The location is right on the water and in the heart of Pikes place market! I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time if possible as the space is smaller and quite popular! Everything on the menu looked so fantastic and everything that we tried was delicious! The wait staff was kind and not overbearing which is nice as I’m someone who doesn’t like being interrupted often. Some reviews mentioned the ability to not change the tip option, but it was available and at no point was I told I couldn’t change the amount if so desired. The ambiance was very nice and I would definitely return for special occasions!

I have to say, this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to in terms of view and ambience. It is so cozy and quaint that it just pulls you towards it. The food was delightful and very fair in terms of price. I tried their Steak sandwich(forgive me for forgetting the right name) and tried their crab cake sandwich. They were stupendous. The service was a bit slow, just for our table, but I cannot let that get in the way of the review. Overall it was amazing. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place!!

We came here for a late lunch, they accommodated us outside with no reservation which was great. Steak was very tender and cooked perfectly. Mussels were also good, although you need to order a side as they come with nothing. Food was fairly expensive Staff were friendly and attentive. Only thing that let the experience down was the lack of local wines on the wine list (it is almost exclusively French wines to suit their menu and no American sparkling wines at all) and the owner, who was unfriendly and rude. We had a baby with us and I got the impression he would prefer adult only parties. The owner was in the entrance as we left and didn’t even say goodbye.
Good place !
