Reviews in York

We visited Maxis restaurant in York, taking advantage of their January Blue offer of 10% off the bill on a Thursday night. There were a few customers in the restaurant so there was a good atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meals, the food was delicious and, as always with Maxis, we left with doggy bags to enjoy the following day at home.

Absolutely brilliant Never fails! The food is delicious & the service is always first class!!! Will be back again & again!!

Table was booked in advance & food pre ordered as we were on a tight schedule - thank you to Sally. Food was lovely as always, a little draughty near the door though. Overall a fab experience value for money we would definitely return.

First time coming here, host explained the layout of the food stations and what to do, took drinks order straight away, wasn't busy like less than 10 tables of people so staff were attentive as in clearing plates quick and bringing more drinks, the restaurant was very clean, toilets clean so no complaints in any of the above. My only complaint would be that the food wasn't hot enough majority was lukewarm to nearly cold which was off putting and they had air con on in minus 3 weather. I would however go again as this was a very quiet night, I would like the food hot not lukewarm next time. Rated food a 4 based on it being lukewarm and Atmospher a 4 as it was very quiet, service and value rate it 5

Great place and great variety just had sea food but there's great choice.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Went to enormous lengths to produce dishes that we specifically requested. Special thanks to Lewis who looked after us so well. Really enjoyed our evening at Maxis York!

I had a really good experience here on a quiet Monday evening. I was welcomed by, the very friendly, Felix who proceeded to talk me through the food stations and what was available. He then showed me to my requested quiet table and took my drinks order. This was an exceptionally quiet restaurant due to to the time of year. However, the first thing I noticed was the freshness of food on offer, the good temperature at each station and how all the staff were keeping themselves busy cleaning down and restocking as needed whilst they had the time. By the time I returned to my table with my first round my drink was waiting. Felix checked in on me a few times throughout my evening without being over baring I understand people's reviews are based on their own opinions, but I do think some people need to shake their heads when dining at buffet restaurants. The food can't be stored too warm as it would continue to cook. It is impossible in busy times to keep more popular stations fully stocked without compromising the less busy ones. I certainly know I couldn't have got the same amount, and quality of food, for anywhere near what I paid for my evening plus drinks. Ultimately if you want fine dining then don't eat at buffet restaurants. For me I got far better than I expected and indeed paid for. Well done Felix and the team, you'll know my reasons, and I left extremely full and happy

I went there too meet some friends and I really enjoyed it all so much

Booked here online for my boyfriends birthday, I'd mentioned this in the comments when I booked. When we'd finished eating they surprised him with a slice of cake and a candle! Loved it! The selection of food was really great too, I've been to other all you can eat restaurants but this was the best selection I've seen!

Great meal which was my best friends Christmas present. I enjoyed the variety of food available and the opportunity to try new things. All I had was good (apart from the chilli mussels) and my friend loved it.

First time in Maxis food good portions ok service good only thing to moan about by the time we got to the end of our meal it was cold.Other restaurants give you a hotplate to keep food warm other than that it was a pleasant evening.

Some of the food was nice. Took ages for our food to arrive though. The salt and pepper mushrooms were disgusting, they weren't cooked properly at all. Unfortunately some staff were very rude and also had terrible body odour. I don't think I will be returning at all. Also very very expensive

We enjoyed our New Year experience at Maxis . The staff are always so pleasant , they worked hard to make us welcome , service excellent as was the food both quality and portions. My vegetarian choice was accommodated . The atmosphere was wonderful . DJ excellent . Nothing was too much trouble . A big thank you. A wonderful glass of complimentary champagne offered . A lovely gesture . Another bonus,the wonderful dancing by staff members . A good time had by all.

Amazing meal at Maxi's, York. The food was excellent - freshly prepared and full of taste. Dim sum menu is very authentic and lots of variety. Crispy belly pork was to die for! Service was superb - very attentive waiting staff, nothing was too much trouble. Will be back soon!
