Staff were friendly and helpful Food was delicious Overall a great evening out, I'd definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Tres bon moment dans un lieu chaleureux où nous avons très bien mangé. Très bon accueil également.
Quirky restaurant serving Scottish fare reasonably priced. What's not to like.
Le personnel très sympathiques et le rapport qualité / prix
The food is good not great. The servers are fantastic and the atmosphere is a pleasant change from the norm. I will return.
Food was lovely and very friendly staff, great place to eat.
First time at this restaurant. Cosy wee place,food was good & staff friendly.
First time in Maxies, staff were really pleasant. Would visit there again but not for a while.
Lovely friendly staff and very central location, we would visit again.
Excellent food and service was a good night and will definitely be back
Excellent Bistro with fairly good choices on the menu. Efficient, cheerful staff. Would certainly visit again. Scallops, Oysters and Baked Camenbert for starters. Lamb Chops, Haggis and Duck for mains. All very good.
Very friendly staff,food was absolutely amazing,and all in all,a nice cosy and quiet place to eat.Will definitely return,and highly recommend it to all friends and family. 10/10
Brilliant evening, in polite table situated at the back of the restaurant. Everyone LOVED there food and we had a fab experience with excellent service!
Serveuse très sympathique et repas copieux! Cadre 1 peu defraichi
very nice restaurant. We had a very good moment and the ladies at the service were very nice.
Food is well prepared and good value. Don't miss the desert cranachan. Service is good.
Two of our group of 6 people had the special of Steak with a king prawn. This was most disappointing and certainly not worth the money being charged. The steak was not of the quality expected, and the mashed potatoes were not nice either. However the linguine was lovely.
Nice Food in a nice setting Will definitely come back
No stay in Edinburgh would be complete without dinner at Maxies. It's almost a family tradition. We know just what to expect from the good food, service and atmosphere so, even though we enjoy discovering new places to eat, Maxies will always be on our radar.
Food was very good. Service efficient without being overly attentive. Would go again.
Poor service, average food - would not recommend this place
Nice environment and delicious food. It's a enjoyable and valuable dinner.
Unfortunately we were disappointed in the range of foods available and the fact the steak wasn't cooked to order. Overpriced for what we got.
Can’t fault the food or the service, thanks a lot guys!
Not many guest. Despite this, bad attention and we had to notify the sloppy waiter, who was occupied eating some deep fried stuff with his hands. Food and wine average. After ten days in Scotland with very good food this was not a meal to remember.
Friendly staff, quick service. Mix of Scottish and international/tourism food
food was excellent and the staff was great will definitely be back
Found in lonely planet- great cozy cellar restaurant- tasty food and drink, intimate!
Restaurant not very cleen and desserts from the freezer. Good welcome with the team
It was ok. Not so expencive. Food was good for the price.
£14 for a chicken breast, a few new potatoes and a couple of florets of broccoli/cauliflower. The food came out way too fast therefore I suspect the chicken breast was reheated in the microwave. It was really tough and tasteless. Truly awful food. Service wasn't bad and the place itself was a little bit quirky. Apart from that though a terrible place which I would not recommend.
Very cosy atmosphere, great food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Excellent for a conversation and chat .....fantastic food would recommend.
2 dishes were sent out because of steaks were well done instead of rare/medium. We waited a long time on these 2 plates and when it came the vegetables were over cooked.
Delightful staff who really looked after us well. Will Go back :)
