I had an amazing experience at Maxime’s! The food was absolutely delicious, the petit wagyu burgers were so tender and flavorful, they practically melted in your mouth. The drinks were just as impressive, with a fantastic selection of cocktails. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from start to finish. They even brought out a candle for my boyfriend’s birthday, which made the night even more special. 10/10 recommend!
