The reviews for Max were so strong that we expected a home run. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The A/C on a very hot night was anemic. Food was just ok - not great - though, to echo another reviewer, the salmon was way too salty. On the positive side the restaurant is small and not too noisy.

I’ve always enjoyed dining at Max’s but was disappointed in my meal yesterday. I ordered the prosciutto and melon and the melon was inedible. Not ripe and no flavor. My advice, don’t offer it if it isn’t in season or edible. Pasta was good but served with way too much cream sauce.

The food was salty. And too much sauce and too much salad dressing. More care needs to be taken, especially given the competition within blocks of Max's location. After the indoor dining was 50% full, it was difficult to hear one's dinner companion. Specials are posted on a board, without prices, so best to ask.

Food was not good at all. These reviews are very deceiving. Rigatoni had no flavor and had barley any pasta in it. Raviolis we’re over cooked and sauce was bland. Waiter rushed and place was crammed. Do not recommend for a date.

Max was one of the best NYC restaurant experiences I've had in a long time! We sat outside and the ambience was great. We had the ravioli and fettucine, so good! Also enjoyed a great bottle of wine. Service was excellent! The gelato dessert was also really good and perfect for sharing. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our dinner at the Max restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we felt seen by the hostess and wait staff. While not smothering, they were there at just the right time. Considerate, efficient, and kind. The food was very good, basic yet fresh and unpretentious. Try the calamari with marinara. Would go back.

Decent meal and good location close to our apartment but the service was really apathetic and poor all around. I would say that the food was good but not great but being close I will probably give them another chance and hope they were just off their game
