    We had a great celebration dinner for my daughter’s friends birthday, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, and gave us a free birthday dessert. Food was fresh, tasty and quick to arrive. We would definitely go again!

    A big thank you to Scott & all the team at Maxwells for making our Mother's Day so special on Sunday afternoon. Loved the Mother's Day promotion you were running for the occasion too! We all enjoyed a delicious meal with fabulous happy hour cocktails to wash it all down :)) We have been coming to Maxwells for years & will continue to do so thanks again x

    All the food was nice. We were very upset about the way we were treated rushed at our table continually asked if we’re done and could we leave soon even after only being there 40 minutes . We were interrupted on several occasions trying to have conversations and drink our drinks being reminded that we need to leave. This was unacceptable and unfair. Made us feel very uncomfortable fools to leave early and leave our drinks behind. You should not treat people like this, we are customers

    We travel to London about 4 times a year and always make time to visit Maxwell's. As ever this visit did not disappoint. The staff are all very friendly and professional, they acknowledge you on arrival and when leaving. Their friendliness always feels genuine. We ordered 2 cocktails which were lovely, along with a steak fajita and wagyu burger which were both perfectly cooked and delicious. The price is definitely value for money. We look forward to our next visit in September when we're back in London.

    Fabulous restaurant, excellent value especially for central London. The ambience is lovely and cheerful with great music but not too loud. Service was fast and portions generous. Staff were friendly and could not have been more attentive. An all around great place

    Fantastic staff. Food was just ok. Deep fried chicken tenders were not good. Oil tasted very oxidised and used. Burgers were good. I’d love to see chips cooked in tallow and not seed oils.

    Food was good but the service was poor, had to ask three people for a drink before we actually got the drink. Not very swift with taking our order once we got the menus. Would I return probably not
