    Was very cold in the dinning room, had to eat with a jacket on. Steak was good, albeit overpriced. Potatoes were a little bland. Wine list was overpriced and regular, nothing you couldn't buy at the liquor store.

    Wonderful dinner! The cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed the mushroom gnocchi, the tuna app, and the short ribs. Our server, James was excellent. Elegant setting which would probably usually be fairly quiet but a very loud, rude big group made way too much noise.

    On the reservation it ask if there is a special occasion, maybe have that question mean something like a discount on appetizer, drink or dessert. Service was fantastic. Very friendly and made great menu suggestions.

    If you are fortunate enough to have Renee as your server, your evening will be outstanding. His knowledge of the menu items is thorough and enthusiastic. We wanted everything he described!At one point we said jokingly just bring us what you think we'd like! (We did follow many of his suggestions. ) The only limitation is the dessert menu. Usually I am so full, I don't need dessert, but I could always be tempted with a light chocolate mousse if Chef would add it to the menu... A truly wonderful dining experience.

    Very slow service to get our first round of drinks, waited almost 30 minutes. Restaurant was maybe a third full. Food came out the way we ordered it, but it was warm not hot! Server was polite and friendly but not overly attentive. Have been to this restaurant many times and always had a great meal, last night was a dissapointment.

    Booked Mother's Day Brunch off a link posted by the restaurant. Arrived to find that the brunch started at noon and we were there for the regular brunch instead. Would have been ok but since they were prepping for the bigger brunch there was no food in the buffet so we ended up eating cereal. Had to ask for bread to make toast. Pretty disappointed because we had the whole family out. Our server was really nice and apologetic for the situation though.

    This was our first visit to Maxwells and it was Great! The quiet atmosphere allowed us to feel relaxed. The menu offered exactly what you would find in a good steak house with a flair and tastes all Maxwells. The steaks we choose were cooked as ordered with emphasis on fresh black pepper. With a variety of sauces and sides, this allowed us to share some with each other. Most importantly was the service, it was Outstanding. Our server James was very patient, informed and most of all quick to offer Great advice when questions arose. His Kindness enhanced our experience. Will definitely be going again.
