    The food was phenomenal and service was exquisite - our server was above and beyond. Definitely pricey but the experience was worth every penny.

    We went to Maxwell’s for a birthday dinner and we could not have had a better time! They put us in a separate room off the main dining room (the Webster room). The table was beautifully set and we were treated attentively from the moment we arrived until we left. I have to mention our amazing server, Owen, who is hilariously funny and a true professional at the same time. The food was delicious from the apps to the mains, and they have the birthday boy a complimentary slice of a delicious German chocolate ganache cake. Maxwell’s is a quietly classy restaurant that has always delivered and exceeded our expectations every time. We highly recommend Maxwell’s to all!!!

    Absolutely thrilled with this dining experience. All dishes were outstanding, as was the service. I would highly recommend the mushroom bruschetta, the chateaubriand with confit potatoes and brussels sprouts as sides. Fantastic! Cocktails and wine list are also noteworthy. There is some real depth and imagination to both the drink menu and the wine options. I mentioned the service already, but I would be remiss not to particularly call out our server, Rene, who was a delight and the epitome of what fine dining table service should be. Well done Maxwell's!

    This was the first sub-par experience at Maxwell's. Since a renovation and menu update a couple of years ago, this restaurant has been an exciting go-to prior to shows at the Fredericton Playhouse. My husband and I have had consistently excellent experiences on both food and service. This time we were very very disappointed. First, I requested a specific table, which we were not given and which remained empty during our entire meal (maybe there was an error and the second table was being held for us?) I didn't say anything at first, since it was all set with cutlery, etc. and I though maybe someone else asked for it prior to me, which I would have understood. The food service was very slow - we ordered and waited approximately 50 minutes to receive any food. The waiter was pleasant and we did receive drinks promptly. The items did not arrive as described on the menu. It is set up to choose your side, with elaborate descriptions. I ordered the green beans - described as prepared "Almondine" - yet there was nary an almond in sight and they were very bland. It I had known, I would have chosen a different side. My husband's dessert said it came with "macerated cherries", yet there were no cherries - just a jumble of other fruits on top. As the experience was quite "blah" - we will be going elsewhere next time before the theatre. Very sad that Maxwell's has already started slipping downward. We never used to eat at the old iteration of this hotel restaurant as it was at this lower level and there are many other superior choices. As my husband lamented - "very hotel" dining. Sad.
