" Celebrated my anniversary at Maximilien, and it was quite the delightful experience! The staff surprised us with complimentary champagne, and the personalized service was a nice touch. I had the duck confit, which was outstanding! The atmosphere was intimate and perfect for the occasion. Would highly recommend for any special celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maximilien is truly a romantic spot for an unforgettable dining experience. From start to finish, our meal was outstanding. Our server was well-informed and guided us through a delightful menu. I opted for the lobster risotto, which was rich and creamy. The ambiance, with the soft glow of light around, paired excellently with the French wine we enjoyed. I felt like I was on a mini-vacation! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had a decent experience at Maximilien. The decor is charming and very French, and we loved sitting by the window! Unfortunately, my steak was overcooked and the accompanying fries were soggy, which was disappointing. The dessert quenched my craving, though! I could see myself returning to try other options; maybe their seafood dishes would shine more than the meat offerings did. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! Celebrated my birthday here with my family, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Every dish was delicious, especially the profiteroles for dessert. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Prices are what you would expect for fine dining, but we thought the quality made it worth every penny. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maximilien is a gem in Seattle! I had the best French onion soup here. It had an amazing flavor and the cheese was perfectly melted. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. For my main, I had the steak, and it was cooked to perfection. I couldn’t ask for more from a restaurant. I'm proud to say I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations for Maximilien, I left somewhat disappointed. The environment was lovely, and the views of the sound are indeed stunning. However, my dish of steak frites was overcooked, and the fries were not crispy at all. I understand that it was a weekend and the restaurant was busy, but the service felt rather rushed. I might give it another try, but I hope my experience will be better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The second I walked into Maximilien, I felt transported to a French café. The decor is charming, and the staff was very inviting. I ordered the mussels, and they were delightful, paired excellently with a crisp white wine. The portions were fair for the price, and we left feeling satisfied. The only downside was the wait for our main courses. Still, I would recommend it to others looking for an authentic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
