Maxim’s 22 French Bistro & Brasserie

This elegant, casual Parisian brasserie hits all the notes of preparation and presentation for an immersive feast.

Sleek, chic and effortlessly casual, this bistro and brasserie imports a Parisian aura that complements its passionate expression of French cuisine. Enjoy a glass from the continuously curated draft and wine lists at the 22-seat coiled bar, and while you’re there, witness a glowing classic preparation of Absinthe. Revel in the animated acoustics of the stylish dining room, and note that the adjoining art room – plastered with colorful posters – can be used for private soirées.

The menu masterfully croons France’s greatest hits – Onion Soup Gratinée, Foie Gras, Seafood Bouillabaisse – without any filler. Savory meats and sublime sauces meld into luscious plates like the Duck Prosciutto – house-cured duck, local thistle cheese, and pan-roasted figs with a sour cherry glaze – while the raw bar offers jewels like the Grand Plateau, a spectacular display of shellfish – two dozen oysters, one dozen clams, 8 shrimp, jumbo lump cramp, tuna tartare, and scallop ceviche.
