"Had a very good experience. Very good food and wine. The only issue was a few of the other dinners felt that they needed to be the loudest people in the room to the point of being annoying. But that was not Maximilien's fault just inconsiderate dinners. I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

"This is THE place to take people from out of town, but it's also the perfect place to savor one's own beautiful city. Because of the mirrors and windows, every table has a view of the water. The food is wonderful & the Bloody Marys are perfection."
