   Food is incredibly delicious. Their take on eggs benedict with a savory waffle is out of this world. The service was a bit to do desired this time. We have experienced better prior times.

   We arrive 25 minutes before reservations. So they seated us right away there weren't many people. 4pm. I went because I wanted to try the fondue but my daughter wanted burgers. The burgers were outstanding. And I forced myself to have the fondue which was also delicious. It's an experience that everyone should try at least once.

   Unfortunately this restaurant extension is suffering in quality. I had previously enjoyed my visits to this restaurant, but there are a few details that reveal that they may be struggling as a business. The waitstaff are inexperienced and inattentive. We had to ask multiple times for items to be brought to the table that had been previously requested. The food is okay, but some of the dishes were incomplete. For example, the waffle fries are advertised as “cocoa-powdered” but had no cocoa powder on them. It was a disappointing experience.

   The food here is superb; the service excellent. If you want less volume, go early. The sound level jumped 17db in less than an hour, taking the ambience from comfortable for conversation to difficult. The music could be softer; people wouldn’t feel a need to talk over it. All in all, a delicious brunch stop.

    Dessert was very good, but overpriced for the amount you got. Lunch was mediocre at best. Would go back for dessert, but not for the lunch/dinner food. Service was also mediocre.

    A little disappointed in food compared to the restaurant in NYC. Dessert was small but made look large with whipped cream, so was basically paying for a large dish of whipped cream. Restaurant looked a little dingy.

    The hot chocolate was lacking flavor and depth. The waitress spilled water in our laps, the men’s room was out of paper towels, the ladies room had a light out, I used my phone as a flashlight. Nothing beats walking around Boston in a cold day with wet clothes.

    We were super excited to try this place, having seen photos of friends dining there on social media....however, our experience was less than good with the horrible service we received. It took forever for our orders to be taken, the food came out before the apps, and our waitress was nowhere to be seen for long periods of time. Maybe she was new, not quite sure, but she kept blaming everything on everyone else...the bar (which was clearly dead) and the kitchen. Would like to try and go back again just for dessert, but not racing there anytime soon.

    We dine here often to celebrate special occasions because it's one of the fave places of my daughter. She enjoyed her order which was really good. The hot chocolate we both ordered were lukewarm My order was not that great and it was missing a side that it was meant to be served with as indicated on the menu.

    Ate here with my daughter and boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. Waitress could have been a lot more attentive but other than that the food was great and we definitely want to go back to try more things on the menu cause there’s so much to choose from ! We ordered a couple of different things and were surprised at how low our bill was ! The fondues were great and the fries were absolutely amazing ! The only thing that wasn’t really good was the Mac and cheese burger my bf ordered, so I’d say im not too sure how good the actual food items are but all the treats are delicious. Will definitely be going back !

    My best friend turned 30 and her only request was chocolate. I thought, where better to go than Max Brenner. We’ve been before and had a lovely time so so knew she’d love it. When we arrived we were seated rather quickly as we had a reservation that specifically stated it was my friends birthday. After we were seated we didn’t see a waitress for over five minutes. We finally ordered drinks, an appetizer, and our meals and continued to chat. We realized it had been a while and we still didn’t have our drinks. When they finally arrived my margarita was weak, the birthday girl’s was too strong, and so was the drink our other friend ordered. We were very excited for the appetizer but they brought it at the same time as our meal!!!! Super frustrating. Our waitress didn’t check on us once and when we looked around to find her she was standing at the waitress podium on her phone. We were hoping to get some water and it when we finally flagged her down she seemed annoyed. The food was good and we had a good time but i was very unhappy with the service I received or Lack thereof.

    We have been long time patrons of Max Brenner and have always had fun in the atmosphere and with the delicious chocolate drinks and desserts. It seems the food menu has changed recently and it was definitely disappointing. I used to get a pasta with tomatoes and chicken in it that was very yummy, today what seemed like the closest thing was Mac and cheese and it was definitely not good enough to get again and did a bad job replacing it. What used to be a yummy sandwich with chicken and pesto with great bread is now a very basic sandwich that was on just a basic sub bread. I think the new food menu is lazier and overpriced versions of what used to be indulgent treats. Also why doesn’t more of the dinner menu have a chocolate twist? The waffle fries are still good at least! Also this is now the second time our service has been mediocre. Once, I ordered a chocolate martini (which is always delicious) and the strawberry it came with had mold on it! The person that delivered it to me corrected it by giving me a new martini after I pointed it out, but didn’t take the cost of the drink off my bill, which is crazy to me when you serve someone something with mold on it. Today wasn’t as egregious, it was just a really not tasty lavender margarita that we sent back that still ended up on our bill. Overall I’m just sad to say this place seems to be going downhill. We still have a lot of happy memories here but based on these last two experiences I probably won’t be eating here again. Maybe just for a chocolate drink.
