Maxime's

Maxime’s is a really vibey place for drinks and apps. It looks unassuming on the outside, but has a really cool interior with lots of booths and tables. The food was good and presented well enough. My favourite dishes were the oysters and tiramisu. My only complaint was that it was quite loud, between the music and crowd, we had to yell a bit to chat with each other at our table. We came on a Saturday night. I think this would be a cool place to bring your friends, have a couple of drinks and vibe to the music. Would not recommend for date night unless you go at a less busy time. Service was amazing though (shoutout to our beautiful server Francesca!)

Went to a Maxine on a Monday night to celebrate my birthday for dinner and it was just as lovely as it would have been on a weekend. Our server was an absolute delight; friendly, attentive and thoughtful. We also had other staff by periodically to check in and make conversation with us. The food was spectacular and the wine selection was fantastic!

Amazing drinks! 🍸 I really have to give it to the bartenders here — they’re super friendly and can customize drinks perfectly. The service overall is always good, and the servers are attentive. I wouldn’t recommend ordering steak (I’ve tried a couple of times and regretted it 😅), but everything else on the menu is great. Definitely a perfect spot for a date night or a girls’ dinner and drinks!

We came here on a whim and tried our luck with just walking in. The service from the moment we arrived was fantastic. The front of the house team said they could fit us in at the bar and made it work! They warned us that unfortunately the building air conditioning was broken but that didn't bother us. We were then seated at the bar and the bartender tended to us right away. She was attentive and friendly. We told her we were on a long overdue date night as parents and surprised us later on in our meal with champagne. So nice and such a nice touch! We ordered three dishes to share: grilled octopus, beef tartare and the spicy rigatoni. Every dish was delicious! I appreciated the bigger serving size to match the price on the menu. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

They put us in such a dark area Beside the kitchen and at a table with a broken chair. Cutlery was placed on the raw table with no napkins and constantly took away cutlery and napkins away. Drinks took a bit long to come out but considering it was busy it was understandable. I ordered the sliders which were not fully cooked and still placed on my bill after I asked for it to be taken away. Also they charge a cake cutting fee of 5$ per person if you decide to bring a cake even though you are cutting your cake on your own. It was my second and last time visiting as they even offer good tasting food but small portions for such an expensive price. Only two bathrooms are available and you can barely fit in each as they are quite small and tiny. Nice aesthetic though but I wouldn’t visit again. I recommend the Mac and cheese with house bread.

Here’s a polished and natural version of your review: We went to Maxime’s for my wife’s birthday dinner, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. All of our guests loved the food especially the steak that our waiter Mark recommended he was truly amazing took care of us entire night. A special thank you to Nader for personally coming by our table, making us feel comfortable, and ensuring everything was perfect. Overall, a truly memorable night. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Maxine’s to everyone —their pasta, steak, are top-notch definitely 5 star ⭐️

I visited here for my friend’s birthday party. My server, Francescea, bartender Adam, and Juals, provided the best service for us. The food here was the best and their cocktails were amazing! If you are looking forward to a meal on a special day, I definitely recommend Maxim‘s!!!!

Run, don't walk to Maximes if you haven't been before! Came here because we were going to go to another restaurant nearby but decided to peek in to the spot formerly occupied by shouk, and boy am I glad I stopped in! From start to finish, from the manager on the door, to our Server Jamal, to Nader the GM, and if I thought the service was good, the food was the true show stopper. From the seabass, to the hamachi, to the rock shrimp, to the baked alaska, every dish SCREAMED flavour, our server Jamal was kind enough to course out everything and timed everything perfectly, by the time the first dish was done, the second one arrived, and so followed for all 12 dishes we ordered including dessert. Atmosphere was bumpin on a Tuesday night, but lively enough that I could still hear my partner across the table, open concept kitchen was very cool seeing everyone work hard on the dishes that we would receive momentarily. Can't WAIT to try out their brunch on the weekend as I hear (however impossible it is) that its even better than the dinner! Thank you all for a great evening!

If you are looking for an aftermove where you can get good drinks and small bites then add this place to your list. It has a lounge vibe and the staff is amazing. They are super engaged at the table and also provide great recommendations. I recommend getting a resume as the place is small so there is a limit on tables. The music is fun and they cool LED walls. There is also an outdoor area as well.

Great last minute dinner! Fresh food and superb service! Music is loud and ambience is dark of you like that sort of thing.

Amazing food, atmosphere, really nice seating and light, food was delicious! Service was incredible, it was my girlfriend and my anniversary and our waitress brought over some champagne on the house, absolutely going back

Maxime is so delicious! Quality food with excellent friendly services. I can't wait to come back here to eat again. Definitely ask for your steak "chicago style", truffle mashed potatoes is soo tasty and smooth. Ambiance and decor makes me forget I'm near King street. Such fun music vibe.

Food was great and the service ! Really pretty inside too. Parking is abit annoying but doable , street parking typical for downtown. I recommend the shrimp dish! So good

Really special, intimate restaurant with kitchen in full view. We had a reservation but the place was pretty empty. Likely we were early and it picks up later. I hope so because the steep prices are worth it. The food is really special, service flawless, and ambience delightful.

I LOVE his place! It is for sure a Toronto must go to! The vibes were amazing. There was a LIVE DJ on a Tuesday night. From the moment you walk in, to the minute you leave, it is a 5 star experience all the way. My server was Mark. Ask for MARK! He portioned my food out perfectly. He was very personable and friendly. The Wagyu Ceasar is the best salad you'll ever had! They even accommodated me deconstructing it and making own little dressing. If you know me, you know I LOVE Carbone.... I ordered the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and I'll I can say is WOW! It's worth a trip to Toronto just to eat here again!

Hands down one of the best dinning experiences I've had in a long time. I was concerned as a pescatarian that there would not be enough choices. There are a lot of choices! The food was absolutely amazing, the service was incredible and the atmosphere was fantastic. I didn't even mind the house music as it was being played at a low volume. It did get a little louder as we were leaving but still not bad.

Maxime's is one of the reasons I will come back to Toronto, it's that good! The food is delicious! First of all, the ambiance and vibes are amazing, and the time spent on the details really shows. The open-concept kitchen and close-knit seating add to the ambiance. The service is amazing, our waiter/bartender was very nice and helpful. He recommended the best dishes and cocktails and was very well-informed. Every single dish was immaculate. I will add a list of everything we ordered, you can't go wrong with any of these. I want to especially highlight the truffle pasta as I have had several different versions from different restaurants, but this truffle pasta was hard to beat. Some of our favorite dishes: - Crispy Rock Shrimp - Truffle and Mushroom Pasta - Australian Wagyu Cocktails: - Hot & Bothered - P-Star Martini

Food was great small intimate place but small portions. The drinks were great mocktails available. Service was great very accomadating.
