Maxine's Cafe
4.8 / 5 (1357 reviews)

Description

Nestled in a charming spot, this restaurant offers beautifully presented dishes with a Mediterranean flair and a notably gluten-free friendly menu, pleasing many diners with flavorful options like potato nachos and steak tartare. The welcoming owners and cozy ambiance, including a lovely patio, add to its appeal. However, recurring issues with slow, inconsistent service, cold or bland food, and uncomfortable wait times have left some patrons disappointed. While the atmosphere is inviting and some guests praise the attentive staff and happy hour offerings, the establishment’s service and food execution require improvement to fully match its promising potential.

I think maybe we got some bad luck but we were quite disappointed in our visit. The atmosphere is great and staff was super nice. Service though was very very slow, and our coffees weren’t even hot.By far the most disappointing part was the food. It presents extremely well and looks amazing, but it was honestly quite bad. I am not very picky with food at all, and am easily satisfied, but it was so bland I couldn’t even finish it. I was with a big party and everyone said the same thing. Upsetting because it looks so good!!!

Nice vibe and great service. The presentation on my French omlette was well…. Non existent. I like minimalism but… not even a slice of orange? A parsley sprig? Dare I say… BOTH??Hubby had the burger on a gf bun and said the flavour was good but it was too small.Generous portion of fries and the three dips were appreciated.

I recently visited Maxine's Cafe Bar, and it was an incredible experience! The Christmas decorations were absolutely stunning, creating a warm and festive atmosphere that made the visit even more special. Our server, Nacha, was the best ever! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Maxine's for anyone looking for great food and a lovely ambiance during the holiday season!
