" Unfortunately, my last experience here was frustrating. The wait for food was excessively long, and when it finally arrived, my crepe was burnt. To make it worse, the staff didn’t seem apologetic about the delays. Not sure I’ll be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last experience at Bistro Maxine was below average. The service was inattentive, and my order was wrong. The crepe was dry and lacked the expected flavor. It's such a pity because I had heard great things, but I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Maxine has a charming atmosphere, but my visit lacked the excitement I hoped for. The crepes were decent but overly sweet, and it felt like the staff was a bit distracted. Maybe a different menu item would yield a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful breakfast at Bistro Maxine! I can't recommend the mushroom and cheese crepe enough—so rich and flavorful. The service was friendly, making the start of my day fantastic. I’d suggest going for a late breakfast to avoid the rush! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely spot for a casual breakfast! I enjoyed my lattes and sweet crepes; both were very satisfying. The server was amiable, and the outdoor seating added a nice touch to our experience. It’s a great place to relax on a Saturday morning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bistro Maxine is hit and miss for me. The last time I visited, I had to wait a long time for my order, and the food didn't feel fresh—it tasted like it had been sitting around. On a positive note, they do have lovely outdoor seating, which I enjoyed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bistro Maxine last weekend and it was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was inviting, but I felt the service lacked a personal touch. I asked for extra syrup for my crepe, but the waitress's dismissal was quite off-putting. The crepes were decent, but I'd advise the management to focus on improving the customer experience. " (*Curated Review*)
