The Scene – Perfectly hidden in the nether regions of the Market, this two-story French bistro remains a romantic, well-kept secret. After 26 years of doting couples sipping wine while gazing at the view of Puget Sound, the space feels lived-in and refreshingly, well, old--a charming hint of culinary history in a town overwrought with too much new. – – The Food – Not one but two escargots appetizers and an abundance of foie gras expose the menu for what it is--an ode to time-honored French fare.

Fantastique!
by TheFrenchCat
What an amazing place! I cannot believe it took us so long before dining at Maximilien!
Being French, I totally felt home in this unpretentious upscale atmosphere... The food was just to die for, our server Ali spoke French and gave us a royal treatment! Plus, French music was playing in the background all night! The only reason I knew I wasn't having diner in Paris, was the breath taking view of the Puget Sound! Maximilien became our favourite restaurant overnight!
- Pros: Service, view, food & wine, atmosphere - Tres romantique!
- Cons: none
