Maximilien Restaurant

I really wanted to like this place. I love French food and was excited by the idea of finding a new place to go. I was very underwhelmed by my experience here. I gave them 4 stars because I feel it’s a decent place to see the view and I would go back for a drink on the patio or inside the dining room. The dining room may have a better view because the patio’s view was somewhat obstructed by the short wall. Also, I was there around 3 :30 and the menu was limited so maybe the dinner menu is better. Otherwise, the service was average at best. I felt like my server was phoning it in with flake smiles and lack luster conversation. I was by myself so maybe they thought I would not spend a lot. I ended up spending $88 for this meal and I don’t feel like it was worth the price. To begin, I had the escargot appetizer and it was just ok. Also, they charge you for the bread. I did really like the bread and butter. The bread tasted pretty fresh and the butter had a nice salty flavor. I also ordered the steak frites and a glass of wine. The steak came loaded with sauce and got on the fries and salad too. The flat iron steak was cooked ok but didn’t have any flavor even though it was covered In sauce. I ordered a glass of wine to see if I could make it taste better but it didn’t help. I ordered the Rhône wine which was just ok. No complexity at all. The fries were bland, tasted like oil and were on the soggy side. They included a salad but there really was no point to it. It was just lettuce with basically no flavor; it just took up space and offered no value. The only upside to this experience was it was a nice sunny day on the patio.

We had an absolutely lovely time for our wedding anniversary! During our reservation we noted that it was our anniversary and we were pleased to be greeted with two glasses of complimentary champagne. The food was cooked elegantly and the presentation was sublime. Our server was friendly informative and an absolute delight. The view was unreal and the overall ambiance of the restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. We cannot believe we haven't been here before and we will absolutely be back! From the friendly greeting of the host to the comfortable pace of the dinner to the satisfied exit, our entire experience was extremely memorable. Thank you so much everyone at Maximilian!!
