    We were a party of 4, arrived 8 minutes early ( that was me letting the team know, I’m a bit ocd with timing 😁 ). Fantastic service, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We were well looked after whilst drink orders were being made and then the food arrived. Oh my goodness, it was so tasty, plentiful and well presented. Thank you to the whole team at Maxwell’s. I will be back X

    Very enjoyable evening. We had pre booked and arrived an hour early but were found a table immediately. Staff extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. One negative - food and plates could have been warmer.

    Very very busy, the service was slow, and missing items. Starters came out quickly, then well over an hour for the main course. The food is standard fair, burgers, biege food etc. Way over priced for what it is, the only difference to here & Frankie & Bennys would be the price difference. The only positive would be the location.

    Food excellent, but part of the order never arrived, so service was a little patchy at best. But for a Central London venue it’s well located and with a punchy menu well executed.

    Always had excellent food & great service previously. This wasn’t the same tonight, burgers & fajitas tasted good, but were only barely warm and onion rings very greasy. Minimal service & friendly chat, it lacked the warm cheery ambience & excellent hospitality ambience. If the food hadn’t tasted good, I’d have complained more vigorously!

    Nice vibe. Food tasty but burger could have been hotter. No soap in toilet and could have been cleaner. Lots of friendly staff but we had to call for a drink. Overall nice.
