My wife and I visited Maxwells for the first time last night, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We’re definitely planning to return for many more special occasions and just wanted to share this feedback to help improve the overall experience.

Unique and tasteful menu. We sat in the bar and ordered from the bar menu during happy hour. We had the bison meat balls, crab cakes and a wonderful salad served in an edible baked parmesan cheese bowl. The wine selection was good and my wife’s Vesper martini was better than most.
