Was lovely to be back, always a good place to be.

great starter and main - only disappointing thing was the shop bought desert which was a bit yeuck. but great mussels and fries :)

We had a lovely evening. The food was very good, the staff were lovely and friendly. Will definitely be back

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 :)

Great value great service great location would visit again highly recommend

Great place for dinner. I would defiantly go there again.

Food was very average...to be polite 2 of the waiters were very nice. The third one was lost and useless (sorry)

Expected higher standard of food Sitting on the bunches with cushions was nice but tables too low and felt hunched over Felt under staffed? Had to ask waiters over every time and people turned away even though tables were free

Food was not great doubt the top 10 rating, had boiled chicken which was not nice and the tables were very sticky and there was a pungent fried smell filling the restaurant

Have been eating here for 40 years. Current staff, menu and cooking among the best.

What a great place, very comfortable and staff very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious.

Not as good as previous visit. Fish tasted odd and chips over cooked.,service very perfunctory. Would not come again . Previous visit in evening not lunch was much better

Went here on a recommendation lovey rustic place, food very nice staff very welcoming and friendly, would recommend a visit do give it a try.

Love the cellar venue, friendly staff and good food (seafood linguine!). Relaxed and atmospheric. Reasonably priced. Very happy to recommend. We're local and try to go at least once a year.

I had dinner here when I visited back in 2004 and was excited to bring my family when we came back this year. The service was excellent, food was great, atmosphere priceless, and the overall experience was fantastic. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m in Edinburgh!

Really nice place to go for a meal in the city centre. The staff were very attentive and although the bistro was very busy they took time to explain to the customers items on the menu. The food was excellent
