    Good vibes, i think you pay more for the ambiance and setting rather than the food! Food was still decently good but not worth the price !

    We went for dinner, I had the spicy vodka rigatoni and my husband had the wagyu and veal bolognese. They were both very tasty, we thoroughly enjoyed our food and experience. Besides the food being great, the service was superb. Our server Neha definitely elevated our experience. She was very kind, friendly and informative, she always made sure to check on us often enough and ensured we had everything we needed. Overall we had a fantastic dining experience and would definitely return and recommend! Also the milk and honey baklava is a MUST try!

    We tried the Winterlicious menu but also added the shrimp cocktail. I’ve never seen shrimp this large before. They were almost the same size a lobster tail. The Mediterranean salad was quite substantial. The chicken was cooked perfectly although I wish they included some veggies with it and the sorbet was refreshing. My friend had the Tiramisu which he loved. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We both loved the small layout of this place and the open kitchen concept. Ambience was very nice. We will return as we were both eyeing the Warm Seafood Tower on their regular menu. Yum yum!

    Really cool vibe inside. Small but stimulating. Great music. They had an DJ bumping afro house. Seems to be the common theme now. Open concept kitchen so be ready to have your clothes smell like cooking. Service was great. Everyone was very friendly and on it. Was it worth the wait? Indifferent. We started with the oysters and Himachi crudo. Very nice. Fresh For dinner we shared the Wagyu bolognese and Rigatoni vodka. The thick noodle on the Bolognese was a little weird texture wise but the flavour was unreal. On the entree side you can decide to have half or full portions lole your fish or chicken. Cocktails were phenomenal. The bartenders were great. I’d definitely come back.

    Parking right beside the restaurant. Beautiful ambiance. Pleasant staff. The winterlicious portions are on the smaller side. Thats why i knocked off a star. However taste was great. The sea bass was amazing. I loved my espresso martini. Broccolini was tasty. The spicy pasta was really good. Didn’t care for the fries they were dry. The breaded shrimp was perfect. It was cold in there and the service was slow. Not the fault of the waiter. He came over to check on us often. At the time we arrived there were a few empty tables so I can’t say it was slow due to how busy it was. Slower service may be normal. We were there for 2 hours even though we placed are orders from the very beginning. I would go again and maybe just order from the regular menu to see the difference.

    Great DJ and great service. Food was not worth the price ad ambience was cool, but did not quite live up to expectations.

    The location on Portland is a little unassuming. I’ve passed by there a million times and never realized it’s Maximes. We wanted to pick off the winterlicous menu but was told we had to reserve that ahead of time even though I had the reservation a months in advance. Ambiance was great, a bit smaller than I anticipated looking at pictures but it was a vibe. The ladies at the front were so lovely. Our male server was a little aggressive. Kinda made us feel like we were a burden and trying to take things from the table so easily. Other people who came and served us were very friendly. The food was delicious, can’t complain. My drink La Perla was a great pick - with a hint of pistachio orgeat. The truffle fries and spicy rigatoni were chef’s kiss. The sea bass and hamachi crudo were just ok and the tiramisu looked really fun but not one of my favourites.

    Service was amazing, our server was so kind and very knowledgeable. The food was on the pricier side but very worth it because it was absolutely delicious!
