Maxine's Bistro & Bar

Maxine's Bistro and Bar at 1756 Collins Avenue offers a neighborhood bistro feel in the middle of South Beach's hotel-heavy Collins corridor. As a bistro format, expect a relaxed dining room with a menu covering comfort-forward dishes alongside a full bar, the kind of spot where you can settle in without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the scale of larger nearby restaurants. Bistros have always thrived in South Beach by offering a middle ground between fine dining and casual eats, and Maxine's fits that role well. Whether for a quiet dinner, a glass of wine after a beach day, or a laid-back lunch between exploring the neighborhood, it holds its own among the options on this stretch of Collins.
