While our waiter seated us, the chef/owner was busy preparing the dishes for the evening. You could feel the passion and intensity while working in the kitchen. If this restaurant had cared about white table clothes and those things, it surely would be a Michelin level restaurant. As it stands, you get Michelin level quality food for an extremely reasonable price. Make sure you get a reservation beforehand since many were turned away at the door hoping to snag a seat on a beautiful evening.

Food was a 4/5 but the service was the deciding factor why our experience is rated only as a 3/5. Food: The appetizer and main course were quite good! I ordered lamb, which was chewy and a little bit "gamey" at some point. But overall good taste. The dessert was excellent (as most desserts in France). Overall I'd rate it a 4/5 Service: On google as well as Yelp this restaurant is highly rated! However, the service didn't meet our expectations. It sometimes felt condescending (probably without intent), drinks got forgotten, entrées/plats weren't served as ordered and the check was given even though we didn't ask for it (this is not the US). Also they didn't even ask if we wanted any coffee or anything else before giving us the check. 3/5 Atmosphere: Cute small restaurant. Nice "booth" inside the restaurant and also some places outside on the street.

Additionally, you expect the same level of service that you get in many other places in the world. It's just not going to happen in Paris because the service is very different.

Similarly in this restaurant, that's how the service was, but if that's the level of expectation, then they have done a perfect job. They were courteous. The food was fresh.

We didn't do the full tasting, as we usually do, as it ran 546Euro (and this is only a one star). Food was well prepared but the most interesting course was the amuse bouche. We had the caviar brioche, which was exceptional. The foie gras artichoke dish was not particularly good. Why artichoke? I love artichoke but did not like this foie gras, which was extra creamy and had a subtle flavor. We then did the truffle chicken (right down the middle of the fairway, but not interesting or exploratory) and the game bird pie, which was excellent. Very stuffy with a wine list entirely built on Bordeaux and Burgundy. The staff put on white cloth gloves to fold a guest's napkin if they got up. Yet was such attention to detail. There's still were some pretty major service, lapses, and wine service irregularities. I think they have two pastry chefs, who are well highlighted, but I guess is chef Imbert is not regularly involved. We found a 2010 Faively Nuit St George for a veritable bargain price (relative to the rest of the menu) for 415Euro. But the dishes were so heavy that we again were not comfortable at the end of the meal and we had only two ordered courses. I don't think the game bird should have shot left in it. We showed it to the staff and they said it "happened all the time". This is poor preparation. I hunt and cook quail and pheasant and this almost never happens to me. One just has to look for the shot when preparing the meat. This could damage the tooth of an unsuspecting person. Two pastry chefs were on-hand and featured prominently. My guess is that Imbert helped with the menu. I will not return. Palais de Plaza Athenee was much better at half the price and Pavyllon was far better

Boeuf Rossini was excellent. Nice piece of beef and the foie gras on top was a nice accompaniment. The sauce was also very good. Oeuf à la neige was delightful. Service was locking for a top-tier restaurant. Although the dress nicely there was no precision.

I had high expectations for Maxim's, given its reputation, but my experience was far from enjoyable. The overly dark theme made the interior feel gloomy and uninviting rather than elegant. Then on top of that as a tourist, being forced to wear a jacket provided by the restaurant one that's clearly been worn by others, felt both unhygienic and unreasonable. The hostess repeatedly went back and forth about Maxim enforcing the need for me to wear a jacket, It set a frustrating tone for the evening and detracted from what should have been an enjoyable experience. For a place that prides itself on fine dining, the front-of-house experience needs serious improvement I came to enjoy a meal, not be subjected to outdated dress codes that ignore practical realities ( as a tourist why would I be carrying a jacket just for a meal at a restaurant). The food didn't do much to redeem the visit either. The salmon was battered, which only made it worse, overcooked ( we had requested well done though not dried out ) and lacking flavor. Surprisingly, the only dish I genuinely enjoyed was the side of vegetables (peas and beans), which were fresh and well-prepared. Service was rushed and unrefined. A server/table manager tried to take my plate while I was still taking my last bite where he did apologize, but it felt unnecessarily hurried. To top it off, while pouring sparkling water, the table manager ( was not in white color jacket) spilled drops into and around the cup/glass, clearly a training issue that should not happen in a place of this standing. We definitely were seated in a way where we couldn't see the performance ( I had already lost interest in the place upon entering in there and it was nothing that would have grabbed my interest but with that price I am paying for the experience which already was horrible to begin with). Additionally, I was surprised and frankly taken aback by the expectation of a tip when paying by card. In Europe, tipping is generally not mandatory, and I felt uncomfortable being pressured to leave one especially after the experience we'd had. It's disappointing that a place with such a reputation entertains such behavior. Overall, Maxim's felt like a relic clinging to old standards without offering the warmth, quality, or attention to detail you'd expect. I wouldn't recommend it, especially to fellow travelers looking for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience in Paris.
