Reviews For Maxine's Bistro and Bar - American Restaurant in Miami Beach

We had breakfast here twice during our stay, and both times were excellent. The prices were fair, and the quality of the food was definitely worth it. The first time, we ordered Catalina’s breakfast, a fresh fruit bowl, and waffles to share. The next day, we got the same but swapped the waffles for pancakes. Everything was delicious, and we truly enjoyed our meals. Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

My fish jumped onto my plate and begged me to eat him. So I did. And he was goood;) this was my first experience having snapper with his head staring back at me. It was a very intimate experience. I gave him my number after I ate him. I think there’s something special here. So glad our waiter, Jean introduced us.

We came here for a quick lunch before checking in to our hotel. The drinks were delicious and the food was so so tasty. Loved it. The best part was Armando’s spectacular service. It’s always nice running into my fellow Cubans. He did a beautiful job.

The food is affordable and came out in a timely manner. My fiance’ got the ribeye and I got the traditional paella (Valenciana). The ribeye was good, especially for the price. My dish was pretty salty, but good. Very nice atmosphere, calm and spacious. Emre was our waiter and was very sweet and attentive.
