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
