Maxim Bakery - Richmond Hill

Last night, we ordered a chestnut cake from Maxim, and when we cut into it, we found that the banana inside was spoiled and had turned dark brown, which made it taste horrible. We had to throw the cake away. I won't be returning to this restaurant again.

I wouldn't recommend the lobster pasta. It was quite bland and really needed some seasoning or added flavor. The pasta itself was overcooked as well. The service was extremely slow, which may be due to being understaffed. I had to ask multiple times for cutlery, plates, and drinks, and it felt like the servers were overwhelmed and running around.

The restaurant has streamlined its menu, eliminating à la carte options and opting for set meals instead. As a result, prices can be quite high. However, the desserts remain excellent.

The food is fantastic, and although it takes some time to be served, it's definitely worth the wait. The dinner specials are also a great deal, as they come with appetizers, soup, and dessert.

I ordered a fresh fruit cake and saw a strawberry-only version on display, so they kindly switched it for me! That was very generous of them. The cake wasn’t too sweet and was delightfully light. My family absolutely loved it! (We added the paper decorations ourselves.)
