Long-standing dining destinations are beloved for bucking trends and staying on a traditional course that began in another era . Today , with social media platforms offering a constant stream of messages claiming something new and better , staying focused is a restaurateur ’ s superpower . Maxime ’ s is one such superpowered establishment .
A massive vestibule hospitably welcomes diners as they transition from the outdoor elements to a large dining room . This suburban setting
ciao ! reviews
indulges the senses with rich red tones , wall art in fancy gilded frames and statement lighting fixtures that cast a warm glow through the room . In “ don ’ t know , don ’ t care ” contrast to the stark minimalist modern restaurant interiors currently in fashion , Maxime ’ s trumps modern with timelessness and coziness as its winning calling cards .
While the menu promotes plenty of classics , there are novel twists to keep flavour forward foodies around the table engaged too . Beyond classic Caesar and Greek , mixed green salads contain fruit , nuts and protein add-ons that turn them into satisfying light meals . A beautifully prepared warm spinach salad features tender sautéed tiger prawns , red peppers and onions combined with fresh peach and mandarin slices , crumbled feta and toasted almonds . A citrus honey dressing coats the dish in tangy sweetness .
Opting for an entrée here guarantees a generous and filling meal . Each one includes house-made soup or green salad , choice of potato and veggies . Steaks are prepared with as much precision as any top steakhouse in the city . Twenty-eight-day dry aged triple New York strips , filets and top sirloins are charbroiled and tender . Classic decadent gravies like silky bernaise and kicky peppercorn are offered as modest upgrades .
Another signature of the menu is its selection of Greek style preparations . Chicken and pork souvlaki and lamb chops are kissed with Mediterranean herbs , spices and a peck of lemon , elevating the status of these popular favourites .
