   Food was just okay, nothing to die for! Waitress took 10 minutes to greet us! Over priced for the type of food and service!

   One and done, we heard good things about the Max’s. However the food was substandard for the price you pay. $50 for a steak, which was cooked wrong and mealy. The loaded baked potato was terrible at $11, you would think it would be good. Plenty of other places with a better value for the money.

   Went on Valentine's Day, normally don't do prefix menus, but this did not disappoint. We had reservations for 8:30 and got a table in the back room, great ambiance, server was great. We had the lobster bisque and crab cake for appetizer and for entree the halibut and ribeye. The ribeye was so tender I cut it with the butter knife (one of the best steaks I have had). Dessert was chocolate mousse 1 eaten there and 1 to go. Overall amazing night for valentine's day and my fiancé. Thank you Max's !!

   We decided to sit at the bar and the bartender was so good. Great service, good conversation, and the food was great, as usual.

   Everything was amazing! Our server Evan was wonderful, accommodated our seating preference, and was attentive during the entire meal. We were greeted with a complimentary Valentine’s cocktail and amuse bouche prior to our meal. We savored the 3-course menu with amazing appetizers, dined on filet and short rib, and had an amazing, creative dessert. 5 stars all the way, thank you Max’s!

    We had a reservation for the pre-fixe Valentine’s Day dinner. I should have known when the menu was a pre-fixe that the food was prepared in bulk and sat until ready to serve. The meal included an app, the entree and a dessert. The French onion soup was good, but the crab cake was ice cold. Also a weird take on the crab cake as it almost had a Mexican twist to it with corn underneath. The entree we both got was the seafood fradiavlo. The bay scallops, shrimp and lobster were all extremely overdone and chewy. Again, an issue with prefix menus. The dessert was extreme basic but fine. For $89 per person, I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the food. Not worth the price tag. My husband ordered an old fashioned with Makers Mark, I ordered a zero-proof cocktail (splash of juice with soda water and a lime wedge). His old fashioned was $11, a very decent price. My splash of juice with soda water was $10. A horrible rip off for a beverage that tasted awful. Should have stuck with a tried and true Diet Coke for $3 In addition, the “bar manager” was frolicking around the dining rooms offering “complimentary” cocktails to certain tables that were recently sat. We were one of the many tables that were not offered this complimentary cocktail and felt that was fairly rude on the restaurants part. If you’re going to offer a complimentary cocktail, it needs to be across the board and not for just half of the guests. We won’t be returning anytime soon. This restaurant boasts about being fine dining, this experience was far from that
