    A lovely vibrant restaurant with service that is often over and above compared to other restaurants with awesome food too! Nothing is too much trouble and had a lovely surprise birthday dessert given for my daughter which finished our evening off nicely. I often dine here when in London for the above reasons so I know this isn’t ’one off’ and that the service is something other restaurants should aspire too.

    We had a lovely pre show meal at Maxwell’s. The food was hot, tasty and filling. The service was good - our waitress gave us plenty of time to decide and didn’t rush us out after we had finished. The decor is really nice. The tables are quite close together so it got a bit noisy as the restaurant filled up but I wouldn’t hesitate to go again or recommend it.
