Maxine's sits inside the Catalina Hotel & Beach Club, wrapped around a renovated courtyard pool with marble-top tables and patterned chairs outside and woven pendant lighting inside. It runs as an all-day American bistro, breakfast through dinner, built around burgers, pizza, seafood pasta, and Caesar salad, then turns into a live-music-and-DJ room after dark. The daytime pool bistro / nighttime entertainment-room split is what separates it from a standard hotel restaurant.
Only you see this. What you ordered, what you'd order again, the table to ask for.
No deals at this venue. Know of one?
The Catalina Hotel's all-day American bistro runs from 8 AM egg dishes straight through to late-night live music and DJ sets. The crowd mixes hotel guests with South Beach regulars — this is one of the more honest neighborhood bars in the 17th St. corridor.
