    Last night was my first time visiting Maxine's and it did not disappoint. I started with a Beet salad that had a beet hummus, pumpkin seeds, citrus and olives - amazing. Then for my main I had the Lobster Gnocchi. The lobster was cooked perfect and was plentiful, and the gnocchi melted in my mouth. I finished with the Banana Bread Pudding on the recommendation of one of the staff and it was delicious. What was really amazing was how well the staff worked together. I'm not really sure who my waitress was because everyone helped, and they all were very well versed in the menu and each dish. The bartender shook up a perfect martini. All in all - fantastic. I'll be back the next time I'm in Vancouver.

    One of our favourite brunch spots! The vibes are always so lovely, the staff are all so friendly and the food portions are pretty big — We always leave feeling full and satisfied! This time, we ordered the smoked salmon rösti, fried chicken n biscuits, two affogato’s, and mini donuts for dessert. Everything was so delicious! We can’t wait to be back soon!

    Terrific choice for brunch in the Vancouver West End. Be mindful that it gets very busy on the weekends and deservedly so. Has a lovely European vibe to go with the consistently excellent service and good.

    The meatballs were delicious, spicier than expected but tasty, with crisp, Parmesan-topped slice of focaccia as a side. Part of the Happy Hour menu, so good value.

    We arrived and got the seating location we had requested. Our server was attentive but not overbearing. All the food was above and beyond. Could not have asked for a better evening. My experience at Maxine’s is that all the staff are excellent. Will definitely be going back.

    Great food consistently, excellent ambiance. I had hoped for a bit more attentive service but restaurant was full so it is understandable.
