Our waitress (Charity, I think) was fantastic our entire meal. She had great recommendations and answered any questions we had. We were greeted immediately when we walked in the door and taken to our reserved table. The drinks were the best I’ve ever had in my life! The food was exceptional! Everything we had was delicious! We will be back.

I was entertaining out of town guests and their grandchildren on April 6th, 2023 and the grandson told them that he didn't realize that we were going to a 5 star restaurant. He later told his parents that it was the nicest dinner he had ever attended.

We had an incredible experience. This was not our first trip to Maxwell's, but it had been a while. I set a reservation on Open Table for 4/1 - I thought. We showed up for our 5 person 8pm reservation only to find that I mistakenly reserved 4/3 instead. We were crushed, because we'd come to town to celebrate our daughter's birthday with our older kids that live in Fargo. Never fear! They had a 6 top just about to leave, so after about a 5 minute wait, they squeezed us in. We were so very grateful, and we had a beautiful experience. The rack of lamb was some of the best I've had. Lobster with squid ink pasta was fun and funky. My husband had the Marsala Chicken Breast and loved it. Perfection.

The food was meh and definitely overpriced for the quality. The hostess and the check in process is definitely the weakest part of their game. If it hadn’t been for amazing service elsewhere in the restaurant, I would have rated much lower.

The server wanted nothing to do with us after we only ordered entrees. Our server was very attentive in the beginning, but once my husband and I only ordered entrees she completely stopped coming to the table, and wanted nothing to do with us.
