Maxfield's On Main

Maxfields On Main is the best thing to happen to Boonton in years! A remodeled firehouse with real historic charm, a liquor license, a creative (and still evolving) menu, live music (even for Sunday brunch??), and friendly proprietors... How could you go wrong? We enjoyed a gourmet twist on the standard breakfast sandwich and tasty Bloody Marys. We'll be back for dinner. You should too!

My friends took me here last night to celebrate my birthday a bit early.  

It was a great choice!

Def make a reservation - it was a good thing we did, with the live jazz band, good ambiance, delicious food, and nice location in a restored fire house - it made the night something really special for me. [and my friends!]

I think they need to revisit their terminology of "small plates" because it really isn't.  They offer appetizers and regular size paninis with a good carrot/cabbage slaw on the side.  It's more cafe/bistro than small plates in my opinion.

We all shared the charcuterie and cheese platter, shrimp and mango cocktail, guacamole & chips, pulled bbq panini,and veggie panini.  Everything came out at once, they could have put the appetizer type items in before the sandwhiches, but that's okay - we made do and nothing was a "hot item" [besides the pork, but that's okay] so nothing got "cold".  I have to say, everything was super delicious.  We enjoyed everything down to the last bit on our plates.  I look forward to going back and enjoying the rest of the items!

Small menu, but I gather its manageable for the kitchen, wise decision.
Currently it's BYOB [just opened a few weeks ago] and the Sancerre my friends bought along was great with everything.  They had ice buckets for some, we did not get one - which was disappointing on a warmer summer evening.  According to our server, they'll get their liquor license soon.

Service was okay, nothing spectacular - it seems the owner was there helping expedite things, we did not notice any hiccups - which is great for a place that just opened a few weeks ago.

The house was sold out, apparently this jazz band opener and headliners were very popular among the 40+ crowed.  [older crowed, we were the youngest there by far, but whatever!! :D] as I said earlier make a reservation for sure - we wouldn't have gotten a table if we didn't.  Obviously it got loud in there with the live music which made conversation hard, but obviously that's expected with live music.  The acoustics system was really great too, and the performance was really wonderful.  

Last night was a great way to bring in my birthday, Amazing life time friends, delicious food, delicious wine, and some live music!  I highly recommend this place!
