    Superb food and excellent service. The perfect start to the evening before going to a show. The best American diner food we’ve ever had. Super quick very friendly service, can’t wait to go back again. Great value for money too.

    My husband and I visited for my birthday. Maxwells was a restaurant I had visited many times during the 1980s when it was located at its former Covent Garden location. Looking to recreate a former experience I was nervous it wouldn't live up to my memory but I needn't have worried. From the moment we arrived the staff took interest and gave me a fantastic birthday meal out. Table location was superb, food was amazing and the service was faultless. The 'birthday brownie' with its sparkler was fun and a really nice touch. As we left the staff rang the bell behind the bar and then everyone sang Happy Birthday which was lovely. It wasn't exactly how I remembered it, it was better. If you get the chance, you must visit this restaurant. Absolutely brilliant.

    Unfortunately we waited about 15 minutes to get served once we sat down but it was very busy, all staff were very busy. We waited a while for the starters but when I did tell our waiter that we had a show to go to and could he bring the mains at the same time as the starters he obliged and was very helpful and we got out on time. All in all good experience, food and cocktails amazing and staff so friendly even under pressure.
