I have been going to Maxim's since I was young and have always loved it here. I recall pretty much every single one of my bday cakes coming from Maxim. The only issue is that much favourite cake from here is their strawberry meringue cake and growing up I could never order it for my birthday cake as it is not a cake that is easy to cut. If you only have to share the cake with 5-6 people than it is fine but anymore and it would be impossible due to the nature of the cake. Otherwise, any of their other cakes are delish!
If you ever come for lunch or dinner they typically have a set menu where a slice of cake comes with it for dessert. However I am not sure if the meringue cakes are part of it.
Like most reviews say definitely come for their cakes!
On this visit hubby and I each ordered a slice of cake and had a drink. Their cafe side was nice. So I can only speak to that. Service was decent as they refilled our waterrs periodically as well.
