    Unfortunately I didn’t have the best meal. We was sit in the restaurant for about 20 minutes before we was asked what we wanted to drink or eat. I understand it was very busy so I didn’t complain l, but needs to be quicker. I then was recommended the ribs and told they fall off the bone but instead they was cooked, but not enough as they didn’t fall off the bone and was very tough. Also not enough sauce. Chips were okay. My starter of Mac n cheese balls were nice. My partner also had the burger and it was very average aswell. I feel bad giving this review but I feel the quality needs to be better during busy times like Xmas so you don’t ruin the reputation.

    Food and atmosphere were both good, but the service was very poor. Waited a while for our starter and waited even longer for our main course. The manager did take off the service charge and reduced our bill by £15. Shame really because it could have been a much better experience for us.

    We’ve visited Maxwells a number of times now and have never had any complaints, the food and service have always been great, the guy who served us on our latest visit was attentive, polite and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was extremely busy, so busy we couldn’t wait in the restaurant bar area when we arrived a little early for our booking, but despite how busy it was, the service and food were still great.

    This restaurant is an absolute gem! The service is warm and personable. The food is amazing—bursting with flavor, good portions and well presented. For London, the value is resonable, proving that top-notch quality doesn’t have to break the bank. Highly recommended for a memorable meal!
