    They were able to take us ahead of our reservation time and the service was prompt and attentive. The Edison lighting offered a warm ambience and the food was delicious. I had the Porcini raviolis and my husband, the lemon caper chicken. An intimate restaurant that offers indoor an outdoor seating with big ambience. Will definitely return!

    Please use AC in the future. Food and service was amazing but too hot and loud inside to enjoy the experience

    I've been in the neighborhood for decades and always wanted to try Max. I am so glad I did, and what took me so long?! They make you feel like home - friendly, engaging, welcoming. The service and food are top notch. Plentiful, fresh, delicious and real. One of my new favorites.

    The food was absolutely delicious, but I was sad that they didn’t have lasagna, while i didn’t read the menu, the pictures led me to believe it would be available every night, as did my guests.

    I arrived and was seated pretty quickly. The problem started once I was seated—I couldn’t get a menu for almost 20 minutes. I asked one waiter, but he never returned. Eventually, another waiter saw me waiting and brought me a menu. I placed my order, but my food took about 45 minutes to arrive. The mussels on top of my spaghetti vongole were cold, likely because the dish had been sitting out, waiting for a waiter to bring it over. Overall, it was a really poor experience. Some friends in my building like this place, so it might have just been a bad day.
