Maxwells consistently delivers exceptional dining experiences with "amazing service" and "fantastic food." Guests rave about dishes like the blackened walleye and macadamia nut-crusted Chilean sea bass. The wine selection is "on point," and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it a top choice for special occasions and casual nights alike.

Wow, what a great experience while visiting town for a work trip. The bar tenders (the elses combo) was awesome. The food was incredible as both the Bison meatballs and the Ell Steak were great. My co worker has the sea bass and stated it was unbelievable. I couldn’t not have been more pleased with the food and the service. It’s pricey but well worth it.

My sea bass was excellent! Would go back and order that again. For being one of the more expensive items on the menu, I thought it was worth the price. Others in my party didn't enjoy their selections as much. The restaurant itself was almost uncomfortably cold,

Great drinks and main courses. Desserts were not as good as the mains. Service was good but there were gaps. That said, definitely recommend. We had the picatta, walleye, crème brûlée, and cheesecake.

our server was awful. she was rude and not friendly. she barely checked on us. the bartender came over to our tables few times because we were being ignored so he helped us when she wouldn’t. i was less than impressed and probably wouldn’t go back.
