Maxwell's 148 has the best of its unique brand of fusion cuisine. Every dish is prepared perfectly with a consistently wonderful presentation. Couple this with outstanding service, and Maxwell's is head and shoulders above other restaurants in its class. Maxwell's has a very knowledgeable and courteous staff that really understand proper restaurant etiquette. I cannot say that about many places, both in Boston and in other cities around the country. Its location and ambiance are suprising. The building is relatively small, blending in with its surroundings - a brick building on a strip mall off of a state road. This is not your typical suburban fine dining locale. So one is taken aback that the interior ambiance is in such stark contrast to it exterior digs. The cocktails and wine list are all excellent - marks of a fine restauranteur. The menu often varies as the head chef is constantly trying out new and exciting combinations, so you can't say you've had everything on the menu after a few visits. The price discourages eating there every night, or every week, but with Prix fixe options during the week it won't always break your bank. \r
Maxwell's is a special treat for lovers of excellent food and top-notch service.
