" Honestly, Bistro Maxine was a delightful experience. While it was a bit busy, the staff managed to keep things running smoothly. I had the seasonal fruit crepe, and it was bursting with flavor! Plus, the outdoor seating allowed us to enjoy the lovely weather. I will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the food left a bit to be desired. The egg and cheese crepe was average at best, and the portion sizes were not generous for the price. Service was decent, but I feel there are better brunch spots around Palo Alto. " (*Curated Review*)

" Trying Bistro Maxine for the first time was a delight! The staff were accommodating, and my ham and cheese crepe was exceptional. Paired with their signature orange juice, it was a fantastic breakfast. I'll certainly be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Bistro Maxine was quite delightful! The crepes were authentic, and the atmosphere was so cozy. I recommend trying the dessert crepes; they were heavenly! However, the service could improve as my order took longer than expected, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Bistro Maxine left me feeling a bit let down. The staff seemed overwhelmed and the service was really slow. I waited over 30 minutes for my breakfast crepe, which was tasty but not worth the wait. Overall, the food was good, but I expected better service for the price. " (*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.
