Maxine's on Shine: Is the passionate vision of the eclectic couple, Kirt & Maxine Earhart. Led by the heart, the entire Maxine's family exudes an effort to enthusiastically elevate the experience of engaging others in a enlightening & entertaining epicurean environment. A safe sexy comfortable and delicious vibe is offered to all. While we love children, our restaurant is not recommended for infants and children under 10. Savoring the flavor of date night or quality time with adults is best suited for enjoying our restaurant. Maxine's on Shine is a place "where good attitudes are welcomed, great attitudes are rewarded, and bad attitudes are changed." American Neighborhood Cuisine w/ Full Bar: The culinary team is led by Chef Fabiano Olmo. Our menu is small, diverse, and created in house. Pasta, Seafood, Steak, Seasonal Selections, and Desserts are the core. The beverage program is guided by Kirt "The Juice Pimp" Earhart. "JP" is a member of The Guild of Master Sommeliers and Bar Smarts. Over 20 worldwide wines by the glass, a Florida and USA based beer list, and classic cocktail program are it's essence. Location: Part of the Historic Colonialtown South neighborhood just east of Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando. We are truly nestled in amongst homes in this 1940's area. The décor reflects a blending of that era w/ today and the styles of New York, Paris, Milan & Orlando, while often hearing New Orleans comparisons. A world travelers parlor from a romantics point of view awaits when visiting your epicurean friend's home. "Happy Hour & a Half": Mon - Fri, 5p to 6:30. $20 includes a Wine Lovers Board and a bottle of Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Sparkling Wine. An excellent beginning to your meal or as a fun respite from your days work. "Rejuicination Brunch" Fri Sat Sun, 10a - 3p. Just voted "Best Brunch in Orlando" Orlando Magazine and Orlando Weekly for 2020. Made to order a la carte menu and award winning bloody mary's, mimosas, and sangria. Live entertainment, Sat & Sun. One of Orlando's favorite local brunch hangouts. RSVPS for 10 or less can be made online at www.maxinesonshine.com We are available for large parties, special events (rehearsal dinners, receptions, showers, birthdays, & corporate events), etc. Please Note: We do not have children's menus, room for strollers, or seating for children. We used to be kids! And kind of still are. But our space is small. And from our music to sometimes the artwork we have displayed, to the experience our fans expect at dinner, we aren't the best choice for dinner with the kids. Children under 7 after 7 are not allowed on Friday and Saturday to help provide the environment our patrons are looking for on date nights, anniversaries, and all of the occasions where Orlando has chosen Maxine's for their sexy, comfortable, delicious night out. Thank you!

Hey Chef Tom…a very happy International Chef’s Day to you Sir! Over 40 years of serving food with great passion and pride, your guests salute those efforts with completely empty plates coming back to the kitchen with desires of delicious food satisfied! Thank you from those of us in Orlando, and can’t forget your Boston roots too, for bringing your culinary show. Thanks for looking out for key ingredients, and always adding guidance to others on your teams as a helpful element, to compliment, putting love in cooking…a table round which, we all are booking. Lots of places you have been putting smiles on faces, and your team at Maxine’s on Shine wants you to know how much we appreciate you, working side by side with us, in plating up those social graces. Enjoy your day, and we’ll see you back in the kitchen tomorrow!

We early Voted ! Then we spent hours cleaning out a lot of stuff from around our yard, especially our backyard taking advantage of the dumpster in our driveway for the drywall guys.
Now that the electricians are finally finished and inspected.
Even though the restaurant is closed on Mondays, we usually still work, we rarely take the day off. It’s a paperwork and vendors day.
 So it felt good to be together at our home enjoying the gorgeous weather, gloves on, elbows up, throwing away old patio furniture and broken stuff in our backyard ! Kirt even sat outside in the sun on our old Gazebo with Lucinda answering a few phone calls and emails while I continued to rack leaves and sweep! Hopefully we will be returning to our home December 1st.
It’s been a long journey, quite memorable, a very uncomfortable experience.
Looking forward to being home and having a homebase again!
The new colors we chose are Yorktown green and then my husband along with our designer friend Cathy of Blue Daze Designs - Orlando Interior Design thought it would be fun to have coral doors!

Our famous Maxine’s lasagna with a recipe we’ve been using from our Chef George Vogelbacher Days, 10 years ago, is one of the best sellers at Maxine’s. It truly is a comfort food, it’s hearty and filling. We even have Italian grandmothers that say they don’t even bother making lasagna anymore. They just bring the family over. Not kidding true story.
