Bienvenue Chez Max!

Savory aromas drift from the kitchen as one enters the front door, giving a hint of culinary delights to come. The casual and comfortable, yet elegant interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting. A large stone fireplace adorns a corner in the main dining room, casting a soft glow around the room.

Oliver was our server and he did an exceptional job of making sure that all of my wife's allergies were addressed and the food was properly prepared. It is surprising that a high end restaurant offers no gluten free bread, roll, or breadsticks to customers who are gluten-free. As with lesser restaurants, my wife had brought her oun gluten-free crackers to eat while I enjoyed the fresh warm bread. I felt badly for her. When we inquired about possible future gluten-free breads being offered,, we were told that there was no intention to go in this direction.

Thank you for your feedback of Chez Max. Out of the 30 items we offer on our menu, only 5 are not gluten free or gluten free optional. I feel as a restaurant we are very conscious of the dietary concerns of our guests and do our best to accommodate. That said, the demand for a gluten free bread option (that we offer complimentary) is not high enough for us to consider carrying. We would either be providing a product we lack faith in the quality of or be throwing product away. In this economy especially, neither option is desirable.

So disappointing that they did not notice that this was a birthday celebration.
Chez Max - Richmond VAResponded on 30 October 2024
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry if there was some confusion. The complimentary glass of sparkling that each guest received at your table was to acknowledge that it was a birthday celebration. We hope that you enjoy your experiences at the other fine restaurants Richmond has to offer.

My husband and I treated my sister to dinner at Chez Max for her birthday. The seafood crepes and halibut entrees were delicious and Oliver provided expert service throughout our meal. The complimentary glasses of sparkling wine given to us to toast her birthday were a nice touch. The chocolate ganache cake and cappuccino were a fitting close to a wonderful dinner.
