    Max is one the few restaurants you can really rely on to be a great meal with great service - one of our faves. Tonight was my husbands bday and they welcomed him with a bday card, served two chocolate truffles with two glasses of Prosecco and a candle, just perfect! What a special meal.

    There for my son's birthday. They seated us right away. The table immediately next to us was a 25+ yr old couple. In twenty seconds i had seen and heard enough. The girl talking loudly with her mouth full of food..said "legit" 3 times in the same sentence and hit her hand on the table top laughing. I kindly asked the host to move us to a different table. They accommodated without hesitation. Ordinarily I dont care, eat and be merry but not for the money i was paying nope. The service, food, server, buss staff, all impeccable Class operation

    Fourth time we've eaten here. This time with friends with whom we share an anniversary date. Cocktails were great. Food was very good, well prepared and presented. The Scottish salmon was really good. Could have left off the Japanese mushrooms. Scallops got rave reviews. Service was very attentive and very professional. Prices are on the high side, but whose isn't these days. We'd definitely go back.
