They took great care of us with a large party and a bunch of kids. Our tab was about $500 and worth it. The crab cakes, scallops and filets were all delicious.

I went with my family for a nice meal at Maxwell's including a 3 and 4 year old. Some restaurants would treat you like a third class citizens for bringing wee ones in on a Saturday night, but the hostess was very nice to us, brought the little boys crayons, and even had kids cups. This was a pleasant find... More

Although many of the dishes here are quite expensive by my standards, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised by our entree salads that we ordered. I had the Steak and Potato Salad and my husband had the Smoked Salmon Salad, which were $17 & $16 respectively. The salads were very large. Mine had a portion of steak that was... More

I recently spent a week in Crested Butte and dined the final evenung at Maxwell's steakhouse. The four of us had an excellent experience and thoroughly enjoyed the brussell sprout and duck leg appetizers. The lamb chops and rib eye steak were enjoyed by all parties. Peter Maxwell was extremely attentive and provided excellent wine service. I strongly recommend Maxwell's.

Food was OK. Wine selection was good and fairly priced but service the night we were there was poor at best. But it is a ski town and that is what you get from time to time. This was the 1st time back since it was no longer the Idle Spur, which tells how long it has been since we... More

When we got to CB Maxwells was recommended to us so we stopped in to check it out. We were looking for a place to watch a Monday night basketball game and they gladly made reservations for us, and even assured us a table by a TV, and said we could stay for the whole game.

We had a nice leek soup that was skillfully prepared. The steak and potato salad entree was also well prepared. The ribs were possibly not their strong point. The ribs had not been braised or slow cooked sufficiently and they were on the tough side. No were near the fall off the bone status that I prepare at home. The... More

Happened upon Maxwell's walking up Elk Avenue after deciding not to wait an hour at Secret Stash. Great food and service with no wait at 6:30 on Friday night of Presidents' weekend. Great for families! Good selection of wines to accompany nice selection of food!
