I'd eaten at Maxim's a couple years ago and had a better experience but it seems to have slipped.In brief the ambiance is good, the food is decent and the service poor.Lovely spot and well decorated. Feels like you're in Paris. Bar is nice and they have a great back room for cocktails. We went on a Tuesday night and it wasn't very crowded, but they seated everyone in the same corner of the restaurant. Not sure why but I would have appreciated a little more space.I had the steak frites and my friend had the lobster ravioli. Both were good but my steak was very very rare instead of medium. Our salads were mediocre at best. I had a caesar which looked and tasted like it was leftover from the previous day. Extremely beat up and wilted. I'd asked if they used anchovies in the caesar salad and was told they didn't. Wrong! It definitely had anchovy in the dressing.Wine selections were good.Biggest negative for me was the service. Instead of menus they left a stack of six xerox printouts on the table. More than five minutes for waitress to approach the table for drink orders. Delivered wrong orders to our table. Didn't check back in at any point during the meal to see if we needed anything. I had to flag someone down to get a refill on wine. Waitress cleared my friend's plates when I was only half way finished, then left takeout boxes on the table (you wait until everyone is finished). It felt like bad diner service. I know there are staffing problems these days, but the wait staff had no idea what they were doing. Management is ultimately at fault for not training them properly and overseeing the service on the floor.I'm fine with bad service at a cheap place, but our meal at Maxim's was $90 per person without dessert. It was disappointment.

Not sure how everyone’s dishes were , but my seafood risotto was a mess. Expected that creamy light flavorful and blended dish and got a huge plate of rice with over cooked seafood and not so great flavors. My toddlers chicken was rubbery. Crème Brûlée was perfect, though. Very very overpriced food.

The side of 4 veggies were the star of this lackluster dish.Steak frites outside over cooked, inside undercooked. Fries were limp, dry.Overall, the meal tasted like poorly reheated leftovers.The waitress and the blueberry gimlet (tho subpar lime pieces used) was nice, hence 2 stars while the rum and coke was flat and poorly balanced.Also, watching waiters cut and handle bread with dirty hands is disgusting and speaks volumes for food handling standards throughout the establishment.

Well just a little blood in my hamburger with no bread. No onions, just cheese, bacon and meat. And the only thing I did not get was the bread that I requested. Everything was on there and was super dry and well we'll done.I mean it's 22 oz steak but $63 still that's a lot of money. I haven't been here in a long time.I know everybody's feeling the fluctuating costing food and materials but I probably won't go back here based on the prices
