    Exceptional service as when I had a question as to the ingredients on the drink menu, the bartender came out and answered all my questions himself. He ended up making a special version of one of the standard cocktails and it was amazing! We had the calamari and brussel sprout starter. Delicious. Best calamari in town. Next we had trout and a pasta dish. Fresh ingredients, perfect flavors. For dessert, the tiramisu. Every bite was amazing. Waiter was attentive and professional. Great dinner, exceptional staff.

    Maximillians Grill is probably one of the most underrated under the radar restaurants in Cary, NC. It's frontage is very subdued thus people likely don't drive by and think it would be a good place to eat. The food is very very good. We had the faccatia appetizer, a shrimp and grits entree and a crab with pasta which was on special. All were every enjoyable. Servers were on top of their game, clearing empty plates quickly and keeping water glasses full. Only not perfect comment was that cheese cake dessert was a little dry, but still tasty. Taramasu was very good, tho.

    I can't say enough about Maximillian's! My boyfriend and I have been there three times in the last two months, and every time, it has been fab. The drinks are delish (thank you, Ross!)., and the food is absolutely delicious (thank you, Margie)! We were there last night, and my boyfriend had the special (yellowfin tuna), and he was blown away—it was superb. My crab pasta dish was also superb. The ambience is wonderful— we love the blues music! If you haven't been at all or in a while, you must go! And keep an eye out for their once a month evenings with music - I believe on a Thursday night. Thank you Margie and Will! Cheers, Yvette

    Maximilian’s is a hidden gem. Delicious food, attentive, staff, and reasonable prices. You must try the grilled Caesar salad! Delicious can’t wait to go back.
