The mains were good, but a bit overcooked in terms of temperature for the steak and the giant prawns, which isn't great considering the high quality of the ingredients and the high price. The starters of the shrimp croquettes and the scallops and the dessert of profiteroles were very good. We enjoyed it well enough but we expected more for the price. Charming server.

DECOR - As soon as we pulled up in the parking lot I was impressed with the layout and decor of the place. You could tell the building is well cared after. On the inside everything is beautifully decorated with floor to ceiling of wood. Great for groups, lots of space and a beer garden. The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. The owner greets and spends time with customers through out the evening. Just a great vibe and most importantly an enjoyable evening. FOOD & DRINK - the menu has a great selection of fantastic beers and Bavarian food. Our picks were the sausages with kraut which was to die for. Two of us were not big on kraut but in this case cleaned the plate. For mains highly recommend the jäger schnitzel, the meatloaf and the cordon blue. For sides we had spatzel which is buttery pasta bits, potato dumpling which consisted of a fluffy starch ball, and traditional potato salad. The schnitzel was the best I've ever had and I've had my fair share of German food but Bavarian style takes the cake for me.

Choose among a large selection of Schnitzel or Kassler, Eisbein, Sauerbraten, sausages, etc. The menu also has a different 'dish of the day' every day and delicious seasonal specialities. Very tasty German food and good value for money (considering the location of the restaurant). One minus point though: The ventilation sometimes does not work very well and there can occasionally be a rather strong smell of 'kitchen' especially on the crammed upstairs landing and that smell unfortunately stays in your clothes for hours afterwards. -- Update 1. September 2011: Unfortunately I had bad experiences on my two last visits. The first incident was when I saw one of the cooks use the toilet, without washing his hands afterwards, at least not in the toilet. I hope that he did it in the kitchen before handling food again, but it is not very good advertising to behave like that in front of a customer! Yesterday (31.8.2011) my friend and I both ordered pork knuckle (Eisbein). We were told that it would take 20 minutes, and we agreed, but when my friend dug into her meal, it turned out that the meat inside was still completely deep frozen! Added to that the service was very slow and inattentive despite the restaurant being less than half full. We had to wait very patiently for our beers and remind twice to get the check. Since Maxburg is (probably and unfortunately) the only German restaurant in the 'european district', I will not give it up completely, but I will reduce my previous (already generous) 4 star rating to 2. If they improve the service and revert to serving well cooked and tasty food, I may change my rating.

Mind you, I am quite surprised that I haven't written about this place because I had just been harrased by a beggar that apparently spoke German, English, and French, and I came in here, ordered a beer, and made a comment that maybe I should consider learning Russian because I doubt anybody else actually speaks Russian. Turns out that the guy sitting on the stool next to me did speak Russian, so that was out of the question. Still, great little cafe, and excellent location on the Grote Markt overlooking the town hall. Very relaxing, and excellent choices in beers.

Louisa, Pascal, and Susie went above and beyond to insure I had an excellent experience. The Buffet was among the best, if not the best, I have ever seen. The kitchen staff hustled to keep every dish and platter fresh and filled, even on the very busy days, when the Marriott was at capacity, and every seat was filled. The two dining rooms were very comfortable, offering amazing views of the Kornmarket and canal. The full American breakfast was 32€ per person, and the Continental breakfast was 22€ per person. Compared to meal costs in Ghent, this is a great value. Midtown Grill, in the Marriott Ghent, Five Very-Well-Deserved Stars.
