   The shrimp queso fundido was so different and excellent! The short rib mole was divine! The peacemaker was nice blend of mezcal and bourbon - dangerous mix :) The service was nice and the ambience is casual.

   This is a wonderful restaurant, run by kind people who care about the food and their guests. Each dish is carefully considered and carefully prepared with the very best ingredients. The design of the restaurant and even the actual dinnerware is eclectic and stylish.

   We often receive comments about the delicious food or great service, but I think it starts with what you said, you must have folks that care. I am proud to say I feel the same way about our staff and thank you for acknowledging that. So glad to hear you enjoyed the "vibe" as well!

   Every time we go to Maximo, we eat and drink something different, and we’ve never had a bad bite or sip. The cornbread is excellent (although I would be equally happy with a smaller serving of caviar), the crudo is delicious, the short ribs are great, the desserts are creative and tasty, we love all of the taco varieties, and the cocktails, mescal, tequilas, Mexican saki, and the wines are always terrific! The service is always attentive without being intrusive, and the staff is very well informed. We can’t wait to stop by for brunch sometime soon.

   John, like UH this weekend, we want to keep the streak going! I really love your comment about the staff being attentive without being intrusive. Service, like food, is about balance we believe and it sounds like we attained that balance. Thank you for your comments and will be sure to pass them on to our staff. See you for brunch!

   Second time to have the chef’s tasting menu. Not quite the level on the food this time around. The oysters, crab costra and masa cornbread with caviar were brilliant. Pairings were lovely. The final savory course, truffle sopa with spare ribs, was not at the same level. Definitely will be back.

   David, sorry to hear we missed the mark a bit regarding your second tasting menu experience. We appreciate the feedback and will work to get back to the level of your first tasting menu experience. Thank you for your graciousness regarding your return, even with met with some disappointment during your last visit.

   Food, drinks, ambiance and wait staff were great. Host checking in was a nice touch too. Banana dessert was amazing. Benjy Levit’s restaurants never disappoint.
