Maxfields

A group of 9 of us came to Maxfields for dinner around 5pm. The establishment was empty when we got here other than the people in the bar, and the service was definitely lacking. Not only was the service lacking, but by the time the waiter came back to take our food order (~30 min after we ordered apps and drinks), the place had filled up. The orders were rather simple - burgers, fish fry, and a couple apps (soup and squash), but it took over an hour for us to get our food. Our server reassured us the food was coming, but it still was taking forever even after the first group of us got our burgers. We all ordered our burgers medium and they were more rare/medium rare than anything. Edited to add: “we ordered chicken wings, too, and they were completely forgotten about. They had to remove t

Service was good and attentive without being overbearing. I got the wings; they were cooked fine, nothing standout but no issues either. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable for a quick meal. Overall, a decent option if you’re looking for a straightforward place to eat.

Our server did a great job. The food came out in a reasonable time as well. I liked the choices on the menu and the food was well cooked. However, the chicken and potato dish I ordered had so much caper brine in it that it was burning my tongue. Just a suggestion: use smaller capers not the big fat ones. It was too salty and potent and offensive to the palette. The Guinness cake we ordered was delicious but the cream on the side had salt in it and made the whole dessert too salty; maybe use sugar to sweeten the cream and create a nice balance with that salt on the Guinness cake and it will be perfect.

This restaurant was recommended by a professor from Suny Potsdam. We were very happy with the recommendation. The service was wonderful. My son has tree nut and peanut allergies, and the waiter wrote down all his allergies and spoke with the chef. They made sure that the calamari had no cashews in it. The food was very good. The Greek salad is excellent. The calamari with the chili lime glaze was excellent. My son's entree, the shrimp & lobster with risotto was excellent and so was my entree which was chicken with parsnip puree. We had a wonderful experience at Maxfield.

We love this place! Lexi waited on us and made excellent suggestions. The French Onion Soup and Green Chile Chicken Soup were wonderful. My husband loved the Sweet Spicy Asian Chicken Wings. The well chilled Rose wine special was perfect. Last time we were here we sat on the patio by the river. Rain today meant we ate inside. But it was a great dinner!
