This restaurant is a gem! The baked Brie app was so good with the combination of Brie, pecans and pears. The supreme crab salad had delicious crabmeat. We finished our lunch with cappuccinos. Truly a beautifully decorated wonderful eatery. read more

Belle & Maxwell's American /Italian restaurant - Baked Brie with pears, pecans, and honey - Bars Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

See all

The food averaged overall a 3+ but we had such great service from Sean that I'm rounding up to 4 stars. They were not at all busy on a Saturday evening. Besides the personable service, the best parts of our meal were the appetizers. We shared baked brie with honey and nuts and a few pear slices. It was served warm and it was delicious with the bread toasts. Our friends shared the burrata salad. The generous portions of creamy cheese were served on top of very red tomato slices place on top of arugula. All was liberally drizzled with balsamic glaze. Our entrees were not as enjoyed. I had their shrimp scampi served over linguine and that was the best dish. Our friend's rigatoni in alfredo sauce was fine, but just okay. My husband's chicken piccata was a nice sized portion but lacked the lemon sauce it should have had. I requested a lemon wedge for him -- which helped a bit. The worst of the grouping was our friend's crab cake appetizer. He had this as his entree. Most of the plate had vegetables on it. But it was the crab cake that was lacking, the texture and quality and taste of the very minced crab shreds was not at all enjoyed. We shared a couple deserts -- key lime pie and coconut cream pie. These were definitely not up to par and should have been skipped. I'm glad we came. The setting is charming with stained glass panels, etc. Probably a better place for the ladies that lunch. read more

Dinner with family this evening. Beautiful eclectic interior and great friendly service from our server. Nice crisp glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc as we looked over the menus. I chose the Chicken Piccata for my Entree and shared the Baked Brie with Pear. This was a dish of baked Brie and six thin slices of pear, a pinch of pecan, drizzled with honey, accompanied by toast slices. It was good in spite of the pecan and pear rationing. My Chicken Piccata was a single chicken breast half, sliced horizontally, perfectly cooked, on top of a bed of linguine. The sauce had a slight lemon flavor with a dash of capers thrown in. (My wife had asked for a slice of lime and lemon for her tea, gave me the thin lemon slice to add ...it helped the sauce!) For dessert we shared the coconut cream pie. Most of the coconut flavor was in the crust. Again, great service and ambiance. read more

We were wandering around Antique Row and were looking for a lunch spot nearby. Belle & Maxwell's was conveniently located and offered the perfect respite, with a lovely decor and an inviting lunch menu. The restaurant was filled with stained glass windows and kitschy pillows. It was bright and airy. The server did a nice job but he seemed a bit dour, in contrast with the upbeat and pleasant atmosphere. We generally enjoyed our dining experience though. I had the tuna melt with white cheddar cheese on multi-grain toast. Tasty albeit not exceptional. One person in our group had the homemade crab cake with mixed veggies and a delicious sauce. That entree received a 5-star rating. Another person enjoyed the burrata, which consisted of mozzarella cheese and tomato on arugula, topped with a (overly?) hefty portion of fresh basil and a nice balsamic glaze. My husband had the grilled chicken club sandwich. He was disappointed with the chicken, which was a bit dry and not particularly flavorful. The entree was accompanied by a side salad. Would we eat here again? Probably, as the food was generally good and the location was convenient. The prices were a tad on the high side for lunch though. The portion sizes were adequate but not very large. read more

Excellent service and terrific food! Ambiance was great. Located right near antique row. Quiet and efficient. Beautiful generous salads! read more

Responding to the factually inaccurate response from owner, my original review of this restaurant is factual and remains. One glass of wine was served, however, my friend did not have time to enjoy, as we were verbally assaulted by Yana from the beginning, escalating to screaming when we tried to leave. Police WERE called, however due to time restraint, we had to leave before they arrived. NOTHING calm and sweet as owner portrays. Experience horrific. Statement about taking 2 parking spaces is simply to deflect from issue. Parking lot empty due to no other patrons. read more

The atmosphere and service remain nice. But the food quality has diminished significantly. The Parmesan fries were not fries, but rather a quarter of large a potato. The accompanying sauce was sparse. Many of the wonderful food items for lunch are not on the menu anymore like the roast beef sandwich. The turkey sandwich I chose was slim on turkey and cheese (only one slice of turkey), the bun was nowhere near the crunchy delight it was in the past. The price though was significantly higher than it was in the past. My husband and I were very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

I have to start this review off with an apology. This was my first time to this restaurant, and I'm usually better taking pictures: especially of the food. But I was with a friend I hadn't seen in many months, and I was so busy catching up with her that I forgot to take pictures of our food! But I digress... I walked into this adorable restaurant located in a small strip mall, and the whimsy of it all immediately made me smile. It was decorated with bright colors and lots of stained glass pictures hanging near the windows to let the light come through. My friend told me that all the art pieces were Even for sale! I love when restaurants do that and support local artists. They had a vast menu, with a little bit of everything. They also had a quiche of the day (today's was carrot and Brie) as well as I sleep of the day (today's sounded like chili). My friend said she orders the same thing every time she goes there, the turkey meatloaf. She said it never disappoints and it is very delicious. I was having a hard time deciding between a sandwich or a salad, so I did the half and half, where you could choose two out of soup, salad, or sandwich. I choose half of the Signature Roast Beef Sandwich, and their house salad. The roast beef sandwich was perfect. It was It was served on a toasty roll, with thinly shaved roast beef (perfectly seasoned) and brie cheese. Neither of us left a bit food on our plates It was that good. They had a delicious sending dessert menu with a lot of choices, but we literally could not eat one more bite. This was such a cute cafe that I will definitely be back! And special thanks to my friend Kathleen for treating me to lunch as my belated birthday gift read more

Three strikes and I'm out. Been enjoying Belle and Maxwells for several years. I've always had wonderful food and service, but my last 3 visits have not been good ones. Im mot sure what the problem is but it doesn't feel like the Belle & Maxwells that I've known. I've noticed Staff has changed and service has suffered. Food not so great anymore. Possibly a new owner or just lost their enthusiasm for the business. It's a shame as it was one of my favorites. read more

I give the restaurant 5 stars for ambiance and -5 for service. I am convinced this business is a front for money laundering. A business can't sustain itself when it ignores the customers. Unfortunately, this writer is not able to review the food because no one came tontakenour order. I would love to have been able to review the food, however, we waited for at least 20 minutes without anyone asking us for a drink knorder, nor explaining specials or soup of the day. We were the only 2 customers in the restaurant and after waitingb20 minutes, I realized we had the lunch menu that ended at 3 pm. I went to the hostess station and asked for the dinner menu, which still wasn't the same as the online dinner menu. We waited another 5-10 and finally left despite having to brave the torrential downpour. I was really looking forward to seeing if the eggplant lasagna tasted like my dad's eggplant parmesan. Sincerely disappointed. read more

Lost its mojo,now overpriced,not a go too for lunch,not worth 50.00$ .I had a bowl of mediocre soup and an ice tea 20.00$ with tip. Try offering bread with soup, it's not a new concept.Price on line one thing,price on menue another.I was over charged by both prices.Not happening like it used to.Eclectic interior,but drab overall no vibe kind of mediocre all the way around.kind of dead now that it's drab and expensive. read more

Dominos has better Italian food than this place who microwaves everything. If I could give them a zero I would. If it wasn't for a group of us celebrating an engagement party, we would have all left. The waitress who was the owner was a complete nasty rude idiot who couldn't get an order right. We waited a half hour for water. I ordered mussels as an appetizer which came out ice cold 2 hours later. This was someone's engagement dinner. She forgot our salad and gave it to someone else. Someone ordered the calamari and it came out grilled and not fried and like rubber. When he said I ordered fried she said very nasty "you should read the menu." Then when my chicken Marsala came out it looked like dog food and it had different pasta than what the menu said which was linguine and she said she would stop serving the rest of our party of 15 because we sent it back. The chicken looked like rubber and people in our party were so upset with the rudeness of this lady who said she was the owner. Didn't bring out half the food. We waited 2 hours for an appetizer. No stars if the option was there. read more

We were doing something in West Palm Beach and it was late and we stopped. We had reservations for this restaurant. It wasn't very busy which makes it good. It also had outdoor seating in the back, which I realized after we were sitting inside the food was good. I hadthe zucchini Pasta, which was very tasty. We also had another pasta dish and we had salad and two glasses of wine. It was a pleasant evening. The waiter was nice. read more

Food tasted good, but that's where the positives end. Under new management, portions are tiny, prices are sky-high ($81 for 2 flatbreads and 3 small bruschetta!), and the place felt completely empty when we were there. Not worth it. read more

I have been going here regularly for many years--a go-to place for a lovely lunch. I was always confident to recommend it--not anymore! They used to have a great "pick two" selection with interesting sandwiches like apples, brie and walnuts on a fabulous baguette, great salads and soups. Today I ordered half of a smoked turkey, brie and avocado sandwich on a toasted baguette and the curried chicken salad, a "pick two" choice. The turkey was basically a couple slices of deli turkey, there was a little brie and you had to search for the avocado. Worst of all it was not a toasted baguette as described but a soft roll. The curried chicken salad served on a slice of tomato was decent but a very small portion. My companion ordered the same sandwich with a house salad--she was disappointed too. We both had water and for the 90 minutes we were there no one offered to refill our glasses. I don't know what happened to a once great restaurant. Maybe changing it to an Italian place wasn't a good idea. Sadly, I will not go back. read more

Cute place , no servers , nobody know we were there until the owner asked , food not great , I think the can improve the costumer service

Italian in WPB Parking: parking lot was full had to find street parking. I made reservations in open table open. Good service Drinks: chilean cabernet $9 - paired nicely dinner. The iced tea was also very good All meals are served with a bread basket and butter. Dinner: Alfredo rigatoni- great creamy cheesey alfredo sauce with shaved basil. 10/10 Tutti Mar - great variety of seafood. Clams, mussels and garlic butter shrimp on top of linguini. If you are a seafood lover this dish is a must 10/10 Margarita pizza: good lots of cheese 7/10. Dessert. We tried coconut cream pie, ricotta cheesecake, and Russian tea cakes. Our favorite was the coconut cream pie. read more

The moment I walked into Belle & Maxwell's the phrase, "Ladies Who Lunch" came to mind. And yes, I heard Patti LuPone singing in my head (Broadway fans will understand :) Just a charming little restaurant near Antique Row in West Palm Beach, and the perfect respite after shopping. The decor is charming (so much so, that I took rare restaurant photos which is not something I normally do). The wait staff was delightful (yes, I liked being called Mademoiselle). The food is fresh, tasty and, in my opinion, not over-priced. Friend had a cup of soup (gazpacho, which for them had a tad too much pepper) and half a sandwich (tomato and mozzarella which they seemed to enjoy. I had the crabmeat salad supreme, which was a nice portion of crab meat on top of diced cucumber, tomato and croutons, with fresh basil and a light vinaigrette that included a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Very refreshing and a generous portion of crabmeat made this dish a real winner for me, and something I would not hesitate to order again. We both had water. With a generous well-deserved tip, the meal came to just around $52. read more

Very few places amazes my taste buds as this restaurant did. The portions are generous and the shrimp scampi even better! Normally this dish as others places are oily and bland. Not here , this normal dish stood out among the best. This place has a kitchen that knows what they are doing and a friendly staff that works together in case your server gets busy, not because they don't care , it's because it serves so many people. read more

Very disappointed with the service. Overpriced food. And poor ambiance. Never going back.

Erik was a great waiter very attentive, and the food was good. I wish they had a slightly bigger selection when I went between 3-4. It was too small of a selection I prefer more options. The appetizer potato parmesan was crispy it taste really good but it was too thick of wedges I would have preferred much thinner cuts. Also tried their margarita cheese flatbread and that was delicious. I will be back to try the penne, alla vodka, but I have to go there for dinner. Also this restaurant is colorful and has a vibe like a restaurant that would be at Almafi coast in Italy very pretty set up. read more

Met a couple of friends for their birthday celebrations and Mr. V. made our experience beautifully memorable! His charm and wit enhanced our celebration and the food was delicious. My friend's spinach goat cheese caramelized onion flatbread was wonderful; my other friend was disappointed that the quiche of the day was not as advertised and Mr. V. made it right for her, thank you! The sample dessert platter was divine - flourless chocolate cake; coconut cream pie; tiramisu. If you are looking to celebrate a special occasion, or just have a lovely lunch, let Mr. V. take care of you at Belle & Maxwell's. read more

It's been a while since I've been back here. It changed hands, I was told by friends who are regulars. The food, overall, is pretty decent. Soups are the best thing that I've tried here. The lentil, in particular. The coffee, desserts, and service, knock it up a star. It's around the corner. The menu items are competent, but not memorable. I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here. read more

Cuisine- everything I have had at Belle & Maxwell's has been delicious even to the point of Wow this is so good..... get the Mussels and you'll see what I mean.

Went here with some friends for lunch based on a reccomendation. Lovely atmosphere and indoor and outdoor seating areas. We were seated and given menus right away. It took a while to get our waitress back to place our order. It seemed they were short handed. Once we ordered, the food came pretty quickly. All of the food was really good. We all had salads. Greek, beet and goat cheese, and crab salad. Salads ranged from #15-$18. We all asked for more salad dressing as there was little on the salads. Tasty and fresh with a piece of flaky croissant and cantalope on the side. We shared several desserts which were all yummy! The coconut xreme pie, chocolate pecan pie, and carrot cake were all very good. Prices are $5-8. The waitress seemed stressed and was snappy at times. This and the slow service was what made our dining experience less than expected. We will be back and give it another chance. read more

Our experience was disappointing. The establishment was not busy and we were sat promptly. We were ignored from this point forward. No waitstaff visited our table throughout the duration of our visit. We are a Latino family. After approximately 20 minutes a black couple was seated, followed by a white couple. The waiter stood towards the end of our table, looked at us, made eye contact with me, and then took the drink order of the white couple. At this point, I looked at my husband and told him that I wanted to leave. There was no acknowledgment from the staff. My husband and I were with our son and hus friend. When we arrived at our vehicle, pur sons friens commented that we were not wanted there. This was such a sad and disappointing experience. read more

I made reservations thru open table 2 weeks in advanced for Valentine's day. The restaurant was not as busy as I expected. Our party of 4 was sat pretty quick after entering. We waited for 28 minutes for the waiter, who never came. No water brought to the table, nor did we have silverware. During our wait, we noticed the server tended to the party of 2 just seated 20 minutes after us. We are a Latino family, and while we are not saying this was racially motivated, it was evident the white couple was attended to immediately and we were passed over, as well as the black couple who was sat after us, waiting about the same time. We ended up leaving after waiting 28 minutes, no one seemed to care. Extremely disappointed with their service. read more
