    Great restaurant with good vibe. My only reservation would be that I don’t think it’s a good idea to serve a child’s meal on a red hot iron skillet.

    We love Maxwells! Have been coming for years whenever we are in London. We slightly prefer the old place closer to the tube as the tables seem to be really packed in now & my husband mentioned the nachos shared seems to be smaller (personally more manageable for me) BUT the taste of the food & cocktails were exceptional, the staff were their usual friendly caring selfs & we enjoyed a wonderful Experience all together. Since kids it's been a while..... but what a wonderful date night.

    We had a great time at Maxwells. It’s a great place to eat before a show on the West End. The service is top notch and the food is delicious.

    1 out of 5 stars Booked table, had to call a server over to order drinks after half an hour, then drinks ordered were non alcoholic but came over with a shot when questioned went to check never returned. Service was AWFUL no one checked on us had to call someone over again to order food, nearly an hour. Food was good but completely let down by everything else, not even asked if everything was OK and bought us a jug of water at the end once we finished meal. We wasn't even asked if we had any allergies. VERY DISPOINTED

    We had the best experience at Maxwell’s last night. We had a higher table which we were absolutely fine with but as a kind gesture from them for not being on a lower- seated table, they gave us 25% off and a glass of free prosecco. The service was great and we will definitely be returning!!

    Fantastic service and a really funky, relaxed atmosphere. Service was really good and food and drinks were served with minimal waiting time. Staff were friendly and courteous and one spotted it was my Son’s birthday and spoke to us about a birthday treat. We will definitely be back as the menu had a great range and the price for middle of London represented good value. Drink options were fab too. Decor in the restaurant was really great and it was very clean.

    Table for 2. Upstairs which was lovely. Hot spicy wings were delish. Philly cheese stack and fajitas. Both were superb. Cocktails perfect mixed and taste great. The music they play is just decent foot tapping tunes. Was all round a great day and will be going again soon.
