Maxwells Steak & Seafood Classic Steakhouse with a Maritime Twist

Maxwell’s features elegant dishes and offers a wide variety of steaks from across Canada – handpicked by our Executive Chef Rob Reynolds

We only use the freshest, and most sustainable local seafood and treat all our guests with the warmest Maritime hospitality. Pair this with our extensive wine list and classic cocktails, and Maxwell’s Steak & Seafood is a dining experience not to be missed.

Named after Maxwell Aitken, better known as Lord Beaverbrook, Maxwell’s Steak & Seafood refocused in November 2021 with a vision of becoming a classic steakhouse with a “Maritime twist”. We share the same principles as our namesake, with a focus on supporting New Brunswick businesses and culture.

Throughout the years, the restaurant has undergone changes – from The Maverick Room to The Terrace Dining Room to Maxwell’s – but exceptional food and service has remained constant. Maxwell’s Steak & Seafood is the latest and greatest iteration of our vision of exceptional dining in New Brunswick.

With each passing year, Chef Matt’s culinary expertise grew, moving up the ranks from Banquet Chef de Partie to the prestigious position of Executive Sous Chef, and ultimately achieving the Red Seal certification in 2012. A brief hiatus led to a head chef role at the luxurious Ledges Inn, a 4.5-star salmon fishing lodge. However, his heart pulled him back to the Crowne Plaza Fredericton, this time as the Executive Chef.

In 2017, a significant milestone was achieved when Chef Matt emerged as the victor in the Aquilini Black Box Challenge for Atlantic Canada. Returning to the Crowne Plaza in 2022, this time as the Executive Chef, he brought with him a deep commitment to teaching kitchen ethics and a passion for sourcing the finest local ingredients.

Beyond the kitchen, Chef Matt is a devoted father of three, spending his free time sharing the joys of fishing, hunting, and foraging with his children, reminiscent of his own upbringing.

Testimonials

Find out why our customers love our food

This has become my new favorite restaurant in Fredericton. The most important thing of any restaurant, the food and beverage were truly excellent. I had a ribeye steak with béarnaise sauce and fingerling potatoes accompanied by a cocktail when I arrived and a glass of wine along with the steak. The steak was perfectly cooked, seasoned and was a very high-quality cut of beef. The sauce accented the meat very well. The potatoes were also very well cooked and seasoned. The old fashioned that I had before my meal was expertly prepared and the wine I chose, a Cabernet Sauvignon, complimented the steak. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was also very inviting, everything I would want in a steakhouse, with comfortable seats and pleasant lighting that made you want to stay and enjoy your dining experience. Lastly, the service was impeccable with the server being very attentive but not intrusive. This is my new go to spot in the city for special occasions, out of town guests, or to simply have a great meal.

Stayed at the hotel and ate their everyday breakfast and supper and fantastic! The vegan French toast was super good but very sweet so we split that with the chefs breakfast and it was a perfect touch ! Chicken wings were so yummy and crispy , chicken Shawarma wasn’t the best I ever had but I ate the whole thing so what does that tell you . Very reliable consistent and big portions . The eggs beny is delish I found the fresh biscuits it’s on are better when the biscuits are thinner bc I had it a couple times ! Great quality would eat there again ….obvi

Went during the afternoon on a Sunday for the afternoon tea. We've visited a few times and we've always had a good experience. The servers are friendly and the sandwiches and desserts they serve change every time we've gotten the tea. It's $15 per person for the tea and it's a nice lighter option for lunch.

Rachel Emery

Wow!! I just had the best breakfast ever! The new renovation looks beautiful and the breakfast burger is amazing!! This will be our new 'go to' breakfast/brunch place. I can't wait to go for dinner as well!
