   Our booking was 6 pm. We were in on time. Food was nice, service very poor. In the middle of our desert waiter ask us would we mind to pay our bill in 5-10min and finish our desert outside cause they want to give that table to someone else. Place wasn't even full 😂 We were in the place to be exact 53 min. I think we did quit well to finish all 3 course meal (my friend had 2 glass of wine) in this speedy time . Definitely ruined our date night. Also I am 7 month pregnant. Wanted traditional french experience definitely got it 😂

   A little bit of Paris in Dublin. Really enjoyable, delicious food, lovely ambiance- although some tables are very close to each other. Have been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience.

   Hi there I went for my usual 2 plates which were the French onion soup and the mussels. Normally, I’m VERY satisfied but yesterday’s soup was awful! It was watery, with few onions and nonexistent Gruyère on the toasts. Very disappointing. The mussels were lovely but arrived cold. I will be back though so don’t worry. Maybe chef was having a bad night. Merci & au revoir Cathrine

   We sat outside as it was a lovely day, but they were playing a radio station rather than music, and it was loud and distracting. The pork and fondue starters were so tasty, and the mussels for the main were delicious and a really generous portion. The beef in the beef bourguignon was really tough and hard to eat. We were there for dinner and would have preferred an a la carte menu to a set menu. Also the price list for the wine differs from whats online and it would have been nice if there were more affordable options.

    Well staff were fine but food was variable. A rather dry and tough Boeuf Bourgogne and “weary” frites with the mussels.

    Very pleasant terrace table - screened from street noise and wind but enjoying full mid-day sun. Friendly and efficient service. Food excellent. We find Dublin wine prices exorbitant (government tax takes a whack) but the wines again were delicious. An altogether very pleasant and memorable hour . Looked as if several diners were regulars: always a good sign.

    Really good classic boeuf Bourguignon, full of taste of red wine as it should be. Slightly small cheese board but good quality. Nice service, very friendly.

    It is our favourite restaurant in Dublin but we were disappointed last night. They were extremely busy and staff were under pressure. But it was the food that disappointed. The cod for mains was tepid as was the crab starter. Overall it was very expensive for what we got

    This felt like being in France, albeit a touristy bit of France. The place itself felt welcoming and looked how we expected and wanted it to look. The staff were friendly and attentive. The ambience was very comfortable and the food delicious. The service was very quick. This reflects the restaurant’s location. 3 courses for €40 was good value in our opinion. The wine is not overly expensive and the organic Malbec we had was marvellous. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and will return. We are happy to recommend this place to anyone.

    We really enjoyed our evening at Chez Max apart from the fact when we had finished our meal the 4 of us were asked to vacate our table at 7.30 to sit outside. We still had our bottle of wine to finish and we were all going to a concert at 8pm. The manager ushered us to the seating on the street away from the canopied heated exterior of the restaurant and it was extremely windy ,when we stated we wanted to remain at a small table in the shelter under the canopy the manager was very aggrieved and rude with us. There was no-one queuing at this time for tables and we only wanted to finish our wine with the 20 mins we had left before going to show in Vicor St.

    How very disappointing.. The waiter leaned across me on 2 occasions to retrieve wine from the shelf next to our table, unacceptable. The french onion soup was served with croutons on the side, and a small ramekin of cheese, I have never had it without the cheese gratin on top, I mentioned this to the waitress and the manager arrived and was all but rude about it, stating the kitchen was too small to offer this, and then that this was a particular style from sth west france. Our steak frites was the final straw, with only 1/3 of the steak edible, the rest was gristle and fat.. There is certainly room for improvement here... the decor and bistro is charming.. and could be so much better.

    All I can say it is a fantastic place with fantastic atmosphere. It takes You directly into France with ambient atmosphere and jazz music in the background. Food was delicious but was a bit disappointed that could only choose from Lunch Menu as we came at approx.3.30pm and choice was limited, thought everything was delicious and we were well looked after. A gem of a place. Will come back for definite as my wife was so happy that She kept talking about it for hours after we left...

    Very mediocre food, the starter (Goat's cheese) was particularly unpleasant, cold, basic, not great tasting...the side 'salad' greens it came with pesto was lidl quality (which is alright for home cooking, but should be shameful for a restaurant). Anyone could cook better at home and definitely not worth it. Cod was okay, but also underwhelming. All and all, 100EU for a dinner for two with 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers. Wouldn't be back for food, but they have a nice atmosphere outside.

    Seating is very tight inside and tables are very small. Staff are under pressure and the welcome was ok but only ok. Next time I would wait for a day to sit outside or book a time that is definitely off peak.
