We went to Maxi's for dinner tonight for New Years Eve at 5 PM. I hate giving 3 starts because the food was really good and our server was amazing. My problem was with the very rude manager. We were a large party with several children. Now I admit, they were being loud and a little unruly,but we were the only table seated in the upstairs room. We kept asking if other tables needed to be seated upstairs and what time so that we could finish up in time so as not to disturb other dinners. The waiter was so kind and patient and said we were okay and had time. All of the sudden, the manager stormed up saying we had to go, the children were not behaving and he was waiting to seat other parties upstairs. We all felt horrible and tired to explain that we asked multiple times what time other parties were coming up and we would make sure to leave. The manager was almost yelling, he was so rude and I was almost in tears. We were all apologizing, running around cleaning up and were basically kicked out before we could even order dessert. The craziest part was when we went downstairs to leave, we looked in the dining room and it was almost completely empty!! You would think they would have been happy for us to be spending so much money upstairs in an almost empty restaurant. Maxis has been a favorite of my family's since I was a kid. I feel so sad having this last impression of Maxis. What a sad way to end a fun dinner on NYE.
