Maxine offers a charming ambiance and a menu inspired by French cuisine, yet diners have encountered significant service and food quality issues. While some patrons praise the convivial atmosphere and unique dishes, others lament cold meals, slow service, and an inconvenient QR code ordering system that detracts from the experience. Complaints highlight rude staff interactions and a lack of attentiveness, leaving customers feeling uncomfortable. Despite the potential for a delightful brunch, frustrations about the service may overshadow the dining experience, leading many to seek alternatives nearby. Ultimately, Maxine represents a restaurant with promise hindered by execution.

An intimate and gourmet meal with attention to the details. Great music, decorum and airy dinning area makes the overall experience unique and worth the trip.

Engaging in arguments with customers making reasonable requests is not a good way to handle situations. Perhaps it was just a challenging day for both sides.

Not coming! It costs 20 for two pieces of bread, eggs and some fat bacon. And the tips are by default 20% when ordering food. Waiting for food is over 30 minute...

Fantastic place for an amazing crepe. I got the Maxine and it was all I wanted. Your Croque Madame is also fantastic.
