Although I had a lovely dinner at Maxi's, I don't think that the cost was justified.
The $16 shrimp pasta with tomatoes, artichokes, capers and a white wine sauce was good, however there were only 4 medium-sized shrimp and the pasta wasn't fresh...I'm not sure what about that meal deserves a $16 price tag.
Our waiter, who seemed overwhelmed by the full patio, forgot to bring us bread, which was a bit frustrating as we watched every other table around us receive a really good looking bread basket (when we finally requested some, it proved to be crusty and perfect).
I appreciated the heavy handed wine pours, however I likely wouldn't return due to the food prices (come on, $15 calamari?).
