Always a good venue for drinks and food. The beer selection is extensive so it is always fun to try something new. Food is done incredibly well. I recommend the waterzooi - fruit de mer (creamy seafood soup). It's incredibly rich (so wash it down with beer) but those garlic croutons are the best invention. Adds incredible texture and flavour to the meal.

I wish I could say good things about this place because it's close to home but, unfortunately ,it's very average. The food is average and the service is average. I've given it a lot of chances over the years but I won't go back anymore.

Honestly, It is so hard to fault, it was perfect. As you drive up you wonder what you're in for, which is part of the appeal. We were part of a group of 20, ordered Ala carte, I'm a Chef and all the guests were foodies, so we are knowledgeable. Other restaurants in the Adelaide Hills wouldn't allow group bookings unless they were on a set menu?. Probably because they want an easy buck with minimal fuss. Maxamillians delivers with ease and grace.

The service was amazing, they were almost mind readers. The style was very traditional, perfect for the Autumble get together. All 20 of us came away commenting it was 'memorable', the wine was great too, Well Done, thankyou.

We were really looking forward to a special night out but couldn't get a babysitter so had to bring our kids along which wasn't a problem as they were really well behaved.

Our entrees and dinner were quite nice, not exceptional though and the desserts sounded lovely on the menu but were disappointing and my glass of wine not even a quarter filled. Our major complaint was the level of service. Each of our courses was incredibly slow to arrive and this can't be related to cooking meals for the kids as they only had garlic bread and a kids meal and the waiters were slow to take our orders. All the people around us arrived and left in the time that we were there.

Our kids are young and managed to be very well behaved and stayed in their seats for the most part but by the end they had effectively been sitting still for 3 hours which really wasn't fair on them. I would have thought that it would be a priority to get the couple with the 3 kids served and out as quickly as possible, not leave them to be the last.

Had the food been great I would probably have gone back without the kids but it really wasn't worth the trip.

Great little place for a satisfying meal. You do get great value for money and they have fantastic milkshakes there. A good extensive menu too.
