Maxime’s restaurant, closing soon, to open for dinner only

A St. Vital restaurant closing next month will now offer dinner service only.

Maxime’s Restaurant and Lounge said in a Facebook post Wednesday that it will open at 4 p.m. until Nov. 23.

“Our kitchen staff is overwhelmed, and we must support them,” the post stated. “As some of our staff is securing new jobs, we can only reserve for smaller parties and not for groups anymore.”

Maxime’s announced Oct. 8 that it was not taking new reservations until further notice. The restaurant said Wednesday it is now accepting bookings by phone.

The Bekios family posted on Oct. 2 that the owners have decided to retire and have sold the land and building at 1131 St. Mary’s Rd.
