Co-Owner/Executive Chef
Mike Wald
Chef Mike Wald leads Maxwells kitchen with a passion for seasonal ingredients and globally inspired technique. His menus reflect a deep commitment to quality — from the locally sourced produce to the hand-selected proteins that define Maxwells signature dining experience.
Every dish that leaves the kitchen reflects the philosophy that great food is about respect — for the ingredient, the guest, and the craft.
Co-Owner/General Manager
Ramon Sosa
Ramon Sosa had the rare opportunity to learn his trade in 5-star Caribbean resorts at a very young age. After his journey led him to Fargo, he immediately began making an impact at Maxwells.
First as General Manager and now as co-owner at Maxwells, Sosa has been committed to delivering superior food and personal service in a relaxed setting.
Sosa's formal wine training (Level 1 Court of Master Sommeliers), which he continues to pursue and impart to his staff, allows him to make recommendations that compliment both cuisine and purpose: “We tailor our guests' experiences to the occasion. One evening a customer might be joining a chef's dinner in the dining room. On another night, the same person could be celebrating a birthday with co-workers at the bar.”
