Gigi's at Maxwell's Plum

✨ A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! ✨ We recently visited Gigi’s at Maxwell’s Plum to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and we were so happy with our choice! None of us had been before, and it turned out to be the perfect place to make memories. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful—think vintage New York elegance meets tropical paradise. The vibe is warm, stylish, and full of character. The food? Delicious. Every bite was full of flavor and beautifully presented. And we can’t say enough about the service! Our waitress, Chris, was amazing—super attentive, kind, and on top of everything without being overbearing. She made the experience feel seamless and extra special. We also had the pleasure of meeting Gigi, the owner, who was so warm and welcoming. You can feel her love and pride in the space—and it truly shows. We’ll definitely be back and are already spreading the word. If you’re looking for a beautiful space, great food, and genuine hospitality—this is your spot. 🌟

Great ambiance and decor. The drinks are not bad and the overall atmosphere is nice. The food was not good and low in taste, the price is very high where it lacks in quality. The truffle fries were burnt and no flavor. The Rockefeller oysters were okay, the only good dish were the raw oysters, probably because no one had to cook them. If you want a drink in a nice place it’s good but otherwise not worth going for dinner. The service was lacking for the type of restaurant it is, a lot of staring and not many friendly notes, a little uncomfortable.

The restaurant's menu has changed after reopening. Previously, truffle fries were very tasty in all respects - now they are soft and unpleasant to the taste. The steak was also of poor quality. We have pointed this out. The staff was very nice and helpful. I am sure that they will take measures and correct the situation with the quality of the dishes. As it is a very pleasant stylish place where it is pleasant to spend time in the evening.

Maxwell’s Plum closed earlier this year! It is now open as Gigi’s at Maxwell’s Plum ♥️ It is a place for the locals! With live music, elevated eats and great happy hour! Images in this review is the current menu as well as some food pics

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Maxwell Plum, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with cozy lighting and a modern yet comfortable decor. The staff were friendly and attentive, and it was clear that they take pride in delivering a top-tier dining experience. However, what truly made the evening memorable was the bartender, Lisa. Not only did they craft an impeccable cocktail based on my preferences, but she also took the time to share a bit about the house-made ingredients they use. Her knowledge of the drink menu was impressive, and she was more than happy to offer a recommendation when I couldn’t decide. The take me to Tulum was a standout—smooth, refreshing, and with just the right balance of flavors. Her friendly demeanor and excellent service elevated the entire experience, making it clear that she is truly passionate about their craft. I highly recommend Maxwell Plum for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. The food, the drinks, and the service, specially the bartender Lisa, all come together to make it a must-visit spot. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The food was fabulous! I ate some olives on the appetizer and they tasted like they were picked from the tree in Italy. Everything we was handcrafted and delicious. The chef is insane about the freshness and flavor of each item they use to create each dish. We loved everything they served! Definately going back.🍽 The outdoor seating was stylish and colorful something out of the Mediterranean. Once inside, it was decorative with comfortable seating. The service was impeccible.

Absolutely delicious! We heard about the Chefs, Rich and Stephanie so we decided to go. We started with a glass of white wine and a classic margarita, ate delicious oysters and the best brick oven vodka pie pizza with so much flavor. Then we shared the skirt steak and allá vodka penne pasta. Fantastic and oh so delicious! Then we finished with the best New York style cheesecake. Every bite was superb! Looking forward to going again and again! I wish I had taken more pictures! I was too busy enjoying it all!

This place is out of this world! Best food, best service, best drinks, best music!! My new all-time favorite place.. BTW, steaks are brutal!

The food was amazing. The waiter Michele was great! Beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere is great to! Overall an amazing restaurant!

When you think of trendy, Instagram-ready restaurants, you don't think of them being inconspicuously located in a commercial building away from main intersections such as the Mizner Center in Wellington. However, Maxwell's Plum is a gem among such non-assuming buildings closer to residential communities than downtown nightlife. Originally started as a restaurant in New York in the 60s as a singles bar for a couple of decades, Maxwell's Plum has been reinvented recently with Palm Beach-flourishing designs that comprise selfie-ready backdrops and cushy navy blue and dark green swede chairs and sofas. The cocktails were solid overall, with the highlights being the tequila-based spritz Take Me to Tulum and the Velvet Brown. The Pisco Sour was served without egg whites, which was odd to me since I'm used to having that cocktail with them; however, it was still a delicious drink. Food-wise, the roast brussels were tasty with the crumbled bacon and toasted cashews, while the shrimp cocktail had decent-sized shrimp. The lobster risotto and ribeye were satisfying for mains, with the flourless chocolate torte being not overly heavy and complemented with strawberries and vanilla gelato.

Do not book a private party with this establishment. They canceled our huge milestone event for my daughter 5 weeks before it was supposed to take place. We had booked Maxwell Plums 6 months prior and had a contract with them and gave a deposit. We were made aware by a text message that they were no longer going to do our event and no phone call from the management or owners. They didn't fulfill the contract but even worse, they didn't care that they left our family with nothing for our event. They didn't even go out of business but just decided to "close for season". How can you not uphold a contract? Terrible business. We were left out of pocket for invitations that were already sent out. A DJ that was pre booked through them and no venue to host our event for 50 people. Please do not trust this place to host your party or event as I would hate for this to happen to anyone else.

Beyond 5 stars in food quality, service and ambiance. When you order a variety of menu items, and Every single bite is delectable, the site is IT! And DJ Renaissance made the Vibe quite the Experience. And my favorite Oysters in Palm Beach.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED My wife and I had dinner here on Saturday (2/17/24) with same day reservations (red flag). We arrived at 7:35PM and since nobody was at the hostess stand my wife got two seats at the bar. I continued waiting at the hostess stand so we can let them know we will have dinner at the bar. After a couple of minutes two ladies came and were standing behind me. A minute later a young lady came to the stand and greeted the ladies behind me (another red flag). The ladies told the hostess I was here first which was obvious assuming you have some common sense. I told the hostess we would have dinner at the bar and I sat next to my wife. We order a light beer ($8) and glass of wine as well as the lobster risotto and steak frites which was supposed to be a 12oz prime dry aged NY Strip with fries. When the food came out we noticed we had no silverware and ask the bartender (BT) for some and she said she will get us some. The BT then start making service drinks (another red flag). Finally after just looking at the BT continue to make service drinks my wife got up and found some silverware. A couple of minutes later the BT showed up with silverware (but no steak knife). My steak was terrible as it reminded something you would pickup at a Walmart for $2. It was tough with lots of gristle as you can see in the picture. My wife's lobster roll had several shells inside it and had an off taste. We usually don't complain unless a manager (not sure if anyone was working in this capacity) asks us how our meal was or if this would be a restaurant that we would come back to. We received our check with an added 20% gratuity for very poor service, paid our check, and left. In summary, you have place living on the name of a popular place in NYC but decided that in order to maximize profit would be to hire sub-par employees and serve low quality (cheap) food at high prices. Stay away at all costs and you have been warned.

Maxwell's Plum in Wellington Florida is located in the MInzer Center. The decor and and atmosphere is quite chic. The staff, especially Amelia, was extremely friendly. My wife and I shared the French Toast with bananas. It was absolutely delicious. There is plenty of parking and its not an issue.

The best Chicken and Waffles and Lobster Frittata! The ambiance was great! Kyle was excellent. Great service!

A bottle of Vodka could make cat taste good lol joking Huge portions good quality food. Great service. Dessert sounded so good. But lot of food. Leave room. Very good quite reasonable

The ambiance was cool and I really was excited to try this place out. Especially knowing what a great reputation it had in NY. I went with 2 friends. I ordered an espresso martini, which the server spilled as he was putting it down. Told me he would get me a new one. He didn't. He came out with a little side glass of what was supposed to be replacement for what he spilled(?!?!) instead of getting a fresh drink - no shaken foam or anything in either glass (it was so bad I had them remake it... came out exactly the same even after I showed them what it was supposed to look like (yes it's on their menu it wasn't some wild drink I asked for)- and my friend made me drink it so I didn't seem rude), one friend had a Paloma (just tequila and grapefruit... also not good), and one had a margarita that was also poorly produced. Nothing was super hard here. I really did want to like this place.

This place is so cute! Well designed with a great ambiance. We sat at the bar and had an apple martini and Aperol spritz with the spinach and artichoke dip. I wanted to try more, but we just wanted to pop in and try it. We will definitely be back! Their well drinks are Tito's and Bulleit for starters and then you have the lovely Megan at the bar- what could be better?...!

We WERE really excited to try Maxwells Plum. Went in for happy hour on a weekday with some out of town friends. Super cute and eclectic ambiance but has a small menu and a bit over priced. 3 apps and 5 drinks were over $200! The server was cold and acted like we were a bother so we will go where our business is appreciated, especially at that price. We won't be recommending.

My crew and I were excited to try Maxwell's Plum in Wellington. We all were customers of their venue on 1st and 64th Street in NYC back in the day. It was simply a sexy, great go-to spot, and if this place has even a hint of that, we wanted it. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there was no one to greet us for 5 minutes. There was a big round table about to leave, a raucous bridal party of 10, and maybe one or two tables of two. When we finally got seated, they wanted to seat us next to the bridal party but then figured it might be loud (you think?) and seated us elsewhere. I sat on the throne of a low, badly-filled couch and, while cute, not appropriate to dine at unless you are home splayed out watching television. The speaker above my head was playing a loud hair band tune that probably wouldn't have been heard if people were in the restaurant. But it was empty, and the music was annoying. We waited over 10 minutes for someone (anyone) to come by and ask us if we wanted a cocktail, but no one arrived. I didn't see a busboy, a server, or anyone working at the restaurant except for a bartender who, if she looked up, would have been able to see that we were stranded in Nowheresville. However, she was too busy tidying up at 8 p.m. And why not? The place was empty, and I'm sure she'd wanted to bust a move. Still, we didn't even get a nod from anyone. We got up and walked out, laughing at how no one noticed. Zero. Come on. Maxwell's Plum. Live up to your namesake and do better, or call it a day.

Unfortunately will not be coming back. I came with my parents for a 7:15pm reservation and things started off good. The spinach dip is delicious. However, after we ordered our food we didn't actually get it until about 1 hour 20 min later. The manager came by to let us know one of the dishes wasn't cooked correctly and he had them remake it. Once our food arrived, my dad's steak was still not cooked right and my mom's rice was undercooked. They offered new dishes be brought out and my parents kindly declined, but they still came out with the fresh dishes (my dad had already eaten his meal at this point). My mom's rice was still undercooked. The real surprise came when we received the bill and not one dish was comp'd and no discounts offered. I asked our server and she went to the manager and when she came back there was a 20% discount... which didn't even cover the cost of one meal. Pretty disappointing to say the least after all of the back and forth plus the long wait we endured. What made this a positive experience was our server Aisha. She was incredible throughout the night and handled all the pains with grace. If it wasn't for her, we would have had a miserable time. Really wanted to love this place, but it's a no for me.

Upon arriving at this seemingly unceremonious location, we decided to test out a new addition to the restaurant scene in Wellington here at Maxwell's Plum. I'll say this right off the bat, the service was second to none. We met Christian our mixologist. We met Danielle our waitress. They were both personable and attentive to every detail of our night out. While the menu was limited and the interior and exterior design seemed in progress, the level of service provided more than made up for any shortcomings. We can't wait to experience what fanciful drinks Christian creates at the bar and we can't wait to see what the future of Maxwell's Plum in Wellington looks like! -David & Junnie Salerno

The food was great. Service was OK. The place is really cute inside. It wasn't busy when we went but it took a while for our food.

Drop your expectations asap! My friends and I arrived for our 3pm reservation and saw only 1 other party in the restaurant (aka it was not busy). The waiter did not confirm or act like they were expecting us One of the waiters was visibly upset with life and slammed every bottle, glass, even the curtain to the kitchen she snatched. We ordered their $15 bottomless mimosas(per their ig post) and our waiter told us he was not aware of the deal going on as management does not keep staff in the loop. For an establishment like that, the staff were unpleasant and poorly dressed. I saw the upset waiter smell a jug before pouring champagne into it. At this point we were over this place so I walked up to the bar to pay for the sparkling water we ordered and saw the waiter about to pour our juice into the champagne and I told her not to. She looked at me even more upset and confused but such is life. We then went to Kaluz up the street which was way better! Please take these reviews seriously because I read them before going hoping for a better experience and was also displeased.

We were 5 people trying out a new restaurant in Wellington which was opened by the daughter of the original owner of the infamous restaurant Maxwell Plum in NYC back in the 1970's. We were very excited to check it out. It was a lovely venue. The bar area was incredible. Lots of folk were gathering about the bar and tables and chairs were around for dinner guests. The atmosphere was cheery and uplifting. We all had drinks and ordered from their menu. Unfortunately the menu appeared limited in the entrees offered. It's basically bar food such as pizzas, hamburgers and appetizers. I would not be going here for a beautiful and healthy fish dinner. It was more casual and fast foods. We honestly reviewed the menu prior to coming but thought there would be more specials and upscale dinners. This was our mistake. So we will consider in the future if the bar scene is what we are in the mood for.

Excellent crust on their pizza. Corn chowder verry good. Would go Back No Service was good and attentive. Very pleasant atmosphere with brautiful murals on walls. Chairs were it comfotlrtsble. Too deep

STAY AWAY!!! My friends and I arrived for our 7:30 pm reservation and were seated promptly. The server came over after about 10 minutes and took our drink order and appetizers. The dining room was relatively quiet. it took over 20 minutes to receive our drinks only after complaining to the waitress and over 30 minutes to receive appetizers which came out wrong (spinach dip and brussel sprouts). We politely express our concerns about the ridiculously long wait time. Now to the entrees, the table ordered Seabass, Grouper w/petite salad, NY Strip w/Chef sauce, grilled onions, and broccolini. At 9:15 we still were waiting on our food. So this time we requested that a manager visit our table. Manager/Owner Jenny came to our table and we expressed to her the dissatisfaction with our service and food so far. Jenny gave us a bunch of excuses (the kitchen is short, the kitchen staff is not as experienced BLAH BLAH!!) Our food finally came out around 9:30, completely not what was described on the menu. Seabass and Grouper had a VERY UNPLEASANT ODOR(it was bad) Grouper was supposed to come with a petite salad but it was plated with some unknown orange mash(maybe butternut squash who knows) the Seabass came with nothing on the plate, the steak came with nothing on the plate, it was supposed to have broccolini. We requested to speak with the Owner/ Jenny AGAIN!! We told her both the Seabass and Grouper had a HEAVY HEAVY UNPLEASANT ODOR (everyone at the table could smell the STENCH). My friend asked where was her petite salad that was described on the menu. They brought her a petite salad with some white-looking meat on top. She asked the waitress what was the white stuff and the waitress responded "Feta Cheese" That was a LIE!! It was SEAFOOD... How do you mistake seafood for cheese? (SMH) At this point, we were fed up and sent ALL our food back and requested the bill. Jenny returned to the and made the statement "What Now?" and stated she would be discounting our food. ( Umm, Don't you think?) The bill arrived at the table totaling $240, we were like WTH!!!. That was with NO Food. There was $65 worth of Gratuity on the bill. We were like so we paying Gratuity on food we didn't eat? Wow!! That's unheard of... So to sum it up. The owner/Jenny's attitude was shockingly dismissive, as if customer satisfaction was an inconvenience her refusal to acknowledge the subpar quality of the food and the abysmal service, and her lack of attentiveness, were disappointing. Despite the clear DISSATISFACTION with the meals, there lack of accountability and customer-oriented service. This experience has left a sour taste, both literally and figuratively, making me state I will NEVER NEVER RETURN to this restaurant.

This place was great - They had really high-quality food and good options. They were out of 2 out of 5 of the steak options they had, so that wasn't the best. It has a fun atmosphere where you should at least go to get a drink at the bar - Wellington doesn't have a lot of high-end restaurants like this, so it's much needed! I think that the staff is still figuring it out, so I won't blame them for that - It's hard to find good staff right now. My dinner was the Bavette (flank steak) and it was awesome - Cooked as ordered... lots of flavor. It didn't need any sauce or anything. The truffle French onion dip was really good too! Chocolate cake was a good finish to the meal - Very rich. I would recommend this place to anyone in Wellington as a great option! I'll be back!

Food, service and ambiance was amazing! Looking forward to another visit soon! Staff was great and personable.

We arranged for an afterwork get together at Maxwell's for 45-50 people. The food and drinks were terrific, and the service was great. The managers, Jarrod and Amelia, were on top of everything and made sure everything was handled perfectly for our group. We were 100% satisfied and in fact several guests said they had never been to Maxwell's before but would be in again very soon for dinner.

We had to try this spot because of the New York connection. The menu is pretty limited and overpriced. Very pretty spot with pretty people and pretty expensive for what they offer. Too many other great spots around to run back.

Nice place for cocktails - although no happy hour on Sat or Sun. Food was so-so. Not a big selection. Didn't have the first 2 wines we ordered. Too many other good places to go. Won't be back.

Wow....that was bad. We heard great things of this place in the past, but should have checked the recent reviews. Walking into a mostly empty restaurant on a Saturday night should have tipped us off to turn around and find another restaurant. To sum up this adventure....They didn't mess up one entree, they swung for the fences and messed all of them up. Just bad, bad, and more bad. The ownership need to fix whatever is happening in the kitchen ASAP if they want to stay open. The only bright spot was the Manager (or who I assumed was as she took over to try to make things right). She was nice, understanding, and you could tell that she was embarrassed by our experience.

In summary, this was overall a mixed experience. Pros: The staff is attentive and the decor is hip/fun. I would come back with family/friends for drinks and small bites at the bar. Cons: overall would not recommend as a dinner destination. Setting wise, there were smaller details overlooked such as the noise level, wobbly table etc which made it difficult to enjoy our meal. The price point is too steep for the quality of food served. This struck us as another overpriced/overhyped restaurant in Wellington.

Just came home from having the most amazing dinner I have had in Florida since I moved here. I started the evening by ordering a White Pony, which is one of the signature cocktails. As a snack we had chips and dip. The chips are homemade with white truffle oil. Then I ordered the best wedge salad I have ever had. Followed it with the rigatoni carbonara. If you want to eat a perfectly prepared pasta dish, order this one or the sugo amatriciana (spicy). Finally, desert: a decadent chocolate cake. If you are looking for an evening of Michelin rated style food with impeccable service and a room to match, (modern yet eclectic) search no more! Speaking about Michelin, I bet they will receive at least a star. Once that happens, we will have a hard time getting a reservation.

My husband chose this spot for my birthday dinner (Feb 23rd). The only enjoyable moments were the dessert and the drinks. Drinks are at a wonderful price for what they are. Maxwell's has beautiful ambience, but they lack the most important qualities (food and service). Our server wasn't very present (We had to leave our table to grab silverware for our main course) and our main course was AWFUL. I ordered the $50 lobster risotto which resembled scrambled eggs. The risotto was crazy overcooked and TOO salty. I also found shells in it. My husband ordered the roasted Chicken with corn and we couldn't help but laugh. The corn looked and tasted like it came straight from a can and the chicken was burnt. It came with a creamy jalapeño sauce that was also disappointing. The concept of the dish was confusing to be honest. We added a side of potatoes and those were mediocre too. The temperature of our food was concerning. If our server had checked in on time, we would've expressed our thoughts. . .but we were just over it. This place is probably ideal for a happy hour or drink. I'll leave it at that.

Super cute restaurant. Gives me all the Cher Horowitz/Clueless vibes. Bright open space, pretty pinks, lush velvets & garnished drinks. If you haven't checked Maxwell's Plum out while in Wellington, be sure to add them to the list. Me & the bestie visited for happy hour & we were content w/our decision. We started off by sharing Maxwell's Hummus as an appetizer & then shared the Wagyu Steak Tips that we paired w/their Truffle Fries. We finished off w/their tiramisu.

so sorry to say, I cannot recommend this place. As you can see from my many reviews, I'm quite a positive person and love to give 5 stars! wish I could do so in this case cute atmosphere and good location, came in with high hopes as I live around the corner and was looking forward to trying! but the food was super mediocre (swordfish dry and over cooked, came with little accompaniment). when we first got in, the music was so loud that server kindly moved us out. Unfortunately, we were totally forgotten outside, server once she took order was never seen again, we never got 2nd drinks, had to search out someone to get us the check. uggggghhhhhhhhh definitely a date Nite downer!!!! almost $200 for not great food, small portions, and terrible (non existent) service!

Stay away. Unbelievably slow and not worth the wait. Highly recommend you find somewhere else to eat. Unless the place is empty, which hopefully it should be, they have no idea how to keep up with the service. One of the most poorly managed restaurants I've been to in my life.

came for mothers day buffet with my family of four, the food was cold, the grits were bouncy, biscuits were hard, and even when they brought out a brand new trey of macaroni my aunt and i were first to dig in and it was ice cold like they had in it the fridge not the oven. the dinner was buffet / self serve style, the menu said there would be oysters and shrimp but there wasn't any in the buffet, when my sister asked a staff member about where the oysters and seafood were he said "what about it?" and she told him it was on the buffet menu and he said that we would have to ask for it to be brought to our table. 3 shrimps and 4 oysters were brought out. I spent over $300 (65 per person) and a mandatory service fee of 20% for cold food and...self service??. I was embarrassed to have picked this place for my mother on mother's day.

An exciting new addition to the much needed Wellington restaurant scene. Stopped in for a midweek date night. The service was very attentive. The menu isn't too large but enough for everyone to find something. They were out of a few items. Would recommend the truffle onion dip! A great snack. They have indoor, outdoor and what looked like an event room. A great ode to the owners family's previous restaurant Tavern on the Green in NYC. We will be back!

Horrible Experience!! Maxwell's Plum, Wellington, FL. NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!! We waited more than an hour to get the appetizer. After the appetizer was served, the manager came to say that the food ticket was lost in the kitchen and if we could wait for 30 more minutes to get the food on the table and the waitress was not concerned about it. The manager and waitress couldn't care less about bringing out our food or fix the error in the kitchen while we were eating the appetizer. Everybody else were getting the food on time except us. I'm not sure if this is a place for "selected people only ". She, the manager told us if we can't wait for the food she will take care of the bill. This was an insult for us. I was not looking for free food as we don't have money to pay. So humiliated... we didn't have time to waste and we left. I just wanted to have a nice brunch with my mom for mother's day. No respect for first-time customers at all!! And the place was not even busy.

We checked out this restaurant, because we are from NY and Maxwell Plum is originally from NY. Different menu, but our party was pleased with the selection, variety, and presentation and taste of everything we picked. While it left no memory of the old Maxwell's in our mind, we were extremely happy with the service from our very personable server Amida. She was attentive, funny and engaging, which made this experience great. The food was exquisite and delightful. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. Thank you!

Vegan options are basically non existent. Ambiance was pretty thin, the place is pricey so I expected a bit more charm. My husband enjoyed his meal, my salad was ok, not the meal we had in mind for our 39th anniversary. Service was attentive. Omnivores will find plenty to eat.

Must say, this place was such a treat! The service was great, everyone was so nice and helpful and the food was great! Cocktails were, thankfully, not the usual that you see everywhere else. Each so unique and delish! Might have enjoyed them a little too much. Def coming back for more. The whole place is a vibe, so chic. No complaints

Beautiful atmosphere with vegan options ..(hummus Plate) or really good salad Nyc style soft house music makes you think of ny lounge . I love this place because it has a little something for everyone . No matter what the food preference is. And the cute couches and music make it a relax atmosphere Also they have a live country music night on Thursday nights during season so its nice to meet friends out. I like most is atmosphere.

What a great place to visit and have a good drink or eat some fantastic food. The vibe in the place is so nice, that you can sit and enjoy your company without it being too loud. It has a great mix of a crowd, with a large bar to sit at and meet new people. The staff are really nice, and the managers always come by to check to see how you're doing. Christian comes to find because he is always making sure your visit is the best it can be and can make a mean Old Fashioned. I really recommend this place whether it's for dinner, or when the place can turn into a dance club late night.

Whoa! I knew it was going to be good but didn't expect over the top super duper good. I had a hard time deciding on the menu but then ended up choosing their burger and I must say "the best burger ever!". This place is beautiful and chic. The drinks are classy and the dessert to die for. I will be returning.

If you are looking for a nice little place with great food, great atmosphere and customer service that is beyond reproach then this is the place for you. The service was amazing, the food was great and the drinks were excellent. Ash went above and beyond to take great care of us !! Take his drink recommendations....he knows his stuff!!

Had a special early dinner reservation. Walked into the restaurant as tables were being moved loudly by staff and yelling. Asked to sit outside. No one was there but hostess seated another couple right next to us so we heard their every word. We ordered 2 craft cocktails and a Swanson Pinot Grigio at $16. We are food bloggers ... the wine was acidic and the craft cocktails (the Prince's Pear and Tropical Sunset) heavy on the alcohol and not well made. There was a Canadian oyster crisis going on affecting oysters from British Columbia. We asked where the oysters were from as these oysters can transmit norovirus. The answer was British Columbia and the restaurant had no idea of this hazardous food issue. We paid the $60 check for 3 bad cocktails, left, and had a wonderful celebration dinner elsewhere.

The place is adorable, and that is about all it has going for it. It took nearly 2 hours to get a subpar meal that none of us ate. Our friend had somewhere to be an asked them to cancel her burger. Instead of canceling it, I watched them go take a burger that had been sitting on the line with their bare hands hand it back to the cook who threw it on the grill, and then they tried to serve it to her. Our server was less than attentive and never apologized for the long wait and didn't get our drinks right. The manager-owner came over and comped the meal and made a bunch of other promises that she never fulfilled. Once the food came out, she never even came back to check on us. We were looking forward to a trendy new spot, but save your money.

Every time we have gone to Maxwell's we have had a fantastic time. I have been with large groups for parties and smaller groups as well, each time we have had the same great service, the food comes in a timely manner and has been delicious. Especially love sharing the appetizers with friends... and the Pizzas are to die for!!! Also a great place to go out on Sunday nights, great music and great drinks!

Highly recommend Maxwell's Plum from a selected menu of both seafood and prime meat, an inviting family driven restaurant that has both amazing meals and great hospitality. Jenny Oz has made Wellington a small paradise again with great selection of east and west coast oysters, Florida shrimp and both Maine and Spiny lobster. Happy Hour and Wellington season stay wouldn't be complete without the Plum. Ambiance is both family friendly, dog friendly and also ready for a nightlife on the weekend

I can't say if the food or drinks are good because we never had an opportunity to try. My husband and I came in for a few drinks after dinner. Our plan was to sit at the bar, however a group of people came in at the same time and the bar became full. So, we asked the hostess if we could sit at a table (the restaurant have very few patrons in it). She asks if we plan to eat, and we explain drinks only. She rushes back to I guess confirm that this is ok, which is fine. After she seats us, we sit for 15 minutes without being addressed by a server to take our order. The kicker was that there were several servers hanging out around the bar and kitchen. We felt unwelcome, so we left. If the policy is meals only at, I would have preferred they told us that instead. Very disappointed. The ambiance was great and we were really looking forward to coming back again, but now we have no intention of coming back.

The restaurant has a limited menu . The choices are very expensive, 65$ swordfish, etc.. The service was good, however I would no recommend to anyone. Sorry to say, we wanted to like it.

We were pleasantly surprised by Maxwells. The prior restaurant was a disaster so we were trepidatious. They offer a concise menu which is refreshing and, at least for our dinner, everything worked pretty well. It's definitely one of the best places in Wellington. My only gripe is the wine list. It is limited and either really inexpensive or wildly overpriced. I think they should consult with a sommelier or wine director from another restaurant to improve it..you will sell more wine if you do. Cocktails are good!

Great place food is wonderful, service is over the top. The atmosphere is something that makes me feel- wow. One must visit try, you will not be disappointed!
