    Waitress was lovely - just a bit too loud for us. Menu was a little restricted but should have checked it out before I booked.

    Lovely food, service and ambience. Was extremely busy as you would expect over the Christmas period so food took a bit longer to arrive than usual.

    first time eating there - nice space, good table, good welcome/meet and greet, good service. The burger was fine, as was the prosecco and wine, but the duck spring roll starter was an open circle with some tough, dry duck that mjst have been a coupoe of days old at least. Didn't like that at all. The chicken nuggets were OK, but came with a caramel (i.e. like toffee) dip. They had already been drizzled in sugar, so mixing the two makes them more sugar than chicken. We'd not return, but not because of the staff or service, nor the burger, but just because so many of the options seemed to have lots and lots of sugar, everywhere.

    We always book a table at Maxwells when we visit London, we just love their food and their prices are not over inflated considering your in central London! Chicken taco salad is my favourite. Beautiful setting especially at Christmas. Food always arrives very quickly too.

    Tried the southern fried chicken burger, it’s enormous. Delicious but so big I couldn’t eat it all or anything else I ordered. Very generous portions. Milkshake is very filling but delicious. Brought two friends and they enjoyed their macaroni cheese and the fajitas. All in all a very successful meal. Staff always smiling too which feels very welcoming. Especially the gentleman who met us at the entrance.

    Always enjoy a meal and cocktails at Maxwells when coming to London. The food is good but mainly come for the cocktails which are very good. Staff are also very efficient and helpful and service is good.

    Another great experience at Maxwell's and I enjoyed the 2 free cocktails that were waiting for me! My daughter had the chicken burger and the amount of chicken was so much she couldn't finish it. Just a slightly more attentive waiter would have upped the experience. Especially as we asked for blackcurrant cordial and were presented with a glass with cordial in the bottom of it to add our own water to!

    My sons who are 5 and 3 had a great time. It was lovely that the restaurant made provisions for kids with activities and the drinks came quick as well as the food service. My eldest son said he rates Maxwell’s a 10 out of 10. He loved his food and atmosphere. Highly recommend this place as this is my second time going.
